[03:12] IsambardPrince What does Indiana propose to repay the debt that those counties caused the State of Illinois to incur to take care of them for all of these years? [03:13] IsambardPrince MinceR, This is ridiculous. The fact that Indiana is even spending money creating a commission to study this. [03:13] *SomeGoat has quit (connection closed) [03:14] MinceR yeah, it's a pretty stupid time to do such a thing [03:14] MinceR 3 days before the republic is officially dissolved and all [03:14] IsambardPrince No state lines have changed except for things like a mutual boundary commission between North and South Carolina to fix some surveying mistakes. [03:17] IsambardPrince MinceR, Indiana proposes taking 34 counties. [03:17] IsambardPrince And in return they'll pay us a package of Nick's Kitchen tenderloin patties and the Dan Quayle Vice Presidential library. [03:22] MinceR sounds like a much better deal than the ones orange mussolini and premier musk like [03:23] IsambardPrince MinceR, It's not a serious thing going on over there. It's sort of like bait for their own voters. [03:24] IsambardPrince "Haha, Illinois bad. Some counties want to leave!" but they make people pay tax money to "study" something they can't do. [03:25] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR2], WTHR Indianapolis has gotten rid of its Web site. [03:25] IsambardPrince It just forwards to a YouTube channel now. [03:34] IsambardPrince The price for a men's haircut at SportsClips has gone up to $34. [03:34] IsambardPrince It was $24 in 2022. [03:34] IsambardPrince Places like this cost $11-12 in 2012. [03:34] IsambardPrince Good lord. What a ripoff. [03:38] IsambardPrince MinceR, Dad recalled a plant manager that came to close down the RCA plant in Marion. Dilip Patel. He said the guy was widely hated because everyone there knew what he was there to do. [03:39] IsambardPrince Ran into an obituary for the guy, and of course they elevated him to sainthood. [03:39] IsambardPrince Never mentioned all the layoffs, just said he was the plant manager. [03:39] IsambardPrince Said he built a mansion in India and donated it to be a dormitory for a women's college. [03:40] IsambardPrince He apparently did become a US citizen. That's how they all end up. [03:40] IsambardPrince They make their money fucking us and send it back to India. [03:40] IsambardPrince I mentioned all the gas stations selling drugs (delta-8 and kratom) to little kids. [03:41] IsambardPrince They kept my dad there until 2001. [03:41] MinceR all you need to become a saint is be really filthy rich [03:42] IsambardPrince They fired his department about 3 years before they fired the union workers who were just making TVs out of the remaining components until those were gone. [03:42] IsambardPrince The last of them got laid off in 2004. [03:43] IsambardPrince I think there was one woman that didn't get laid off, she came in and worked in the office until 2008 and then had to let herself go. [03:43] IsambardPrince They had her managing the benefits while they finished outsourcing it to third parties and then they shut the place down. [03:44] IsambardPrince MinceR, Imagine having her job. The last person working in an empty factory meant for 1,000 people. [03:44] IsambardPrince Shut down by an Indian corporate wrecking ball to be sent off to China. [03:45] IsambardPrince Marion is a ghost town. All the major employers left as soon as Clinton and George W. Bush opened the exit door for them. [03:47] IsambardPrince The Republicans and Democrats spent decades causing Americans to lose jobs, breaking labor unions, and crapflooding our country with Indians on H1-B visas and with MBAs, and illegal immigrants here to get EAD cards so you even have to compete for fry vat jobs at McDonalds. [03:47] IsambardPrince This is the "normal" that led to Donald Trump. [03:48] IsambardPrince They don't even want us to be able to get a decent wage doing whatever there is left, so they spent years earning the contempt of the public. [03:49] IsambardPrince Now 25% of the 2023 class of Harvard MBAs is unemployed. [03:49] IsambardPrince They've run out of stuff to destroy, I guess.

[04:26] IsambardPrince If you can't afford a phone, a credit card doesn't make the phone affordable. [04:27] IsambardPrince A true bottom feeder is like Credit One Bank in Nevada. [04:27] IsambardPrince They give credit cards to people like my mom and cousins who they fully expect to try to not pay it back. [04:27] MinceR what's in it for the bank? [04:28] IsambardPrince They come back in 18 months and take the customer to court and get 5 times what they spent on the card. [04:28] IsambardPrince :) [04:28] IsambardPrince MinceR, Credit One sent out a credit card to one of my cousins. [04:29] IsambardPrince She charged it up at Starbucks and shit, and then tossed it over her shoulder. [04:29] IsambardPrince She could only spend $400 on the card because the first charge that went through was a $100 annual fee for having the card. [04:29] IsambardPrince They came back about two years later and got almost $1900. [04:30] IsambardPrince MinceR, They make more money when you don't pay. [04:31] IsambardPrince Every time the junk mail rolls in at this place, there's credit one offers for people who haven't even lived here in many years. [04:32] MinceR i'd have thought more customers just have not enough money or valuables to make it worth doing [04:33] IsambardPrince They don't care if you have money or valuables. [04:35] IsambardPrince Most people, they're happy if they get it back $20 a week. [04:35] IsambardPrince They especially like people like my cousin who have enough money to pay their bills and just don't. [04:46] MinceR how are they going to take 5 times what you spent on the card if you don't have anything worth that much? [04:58] IsambardPrince Paycheck.
