| *DaemonFC[m] sent a long message: < https://matrix.org/_matrix/media/r0/download/matrix.org/UJoMYpetjZtVxlXVaFFZqRlc > | Jul 27 01:01 | |
| DaemonFC[m] | I don't suppose the obvious "File anyway and keep the extra unemployment money." idea has hit anyone. | Jul 27 01:02 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's looking like the emergency extra $600/wk is going to go on for at least a year. | Jul 27 01:02 |
| DaemonFC[m] | That's almost $30,000. It only costs about $1,200 to file, and that's with a lawyer. | Jul 27 01:03 |
| DaemonFC[m] | File, toss all of your debt in except maybe your car, use the threat of sending back a car they don't want against the finance company to get the loan down to market value, and buy your own car out of the bankruptcy. | Jul 27 01:03 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Yeah, there'll be the bankruptcy, but you'd be ahead by over $30,000 in the end. | Jul 27 01:04 |
| DaemonFC[m] | If John hasn't been on the loan, I probably could have talked the finance company down by $7,000 or so and then reaffirmed it. | Jul 27 01:05 |
| DaemonFC[m] | :/ | Jul 27 01:05 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Since they still had him on the hook for the payments, they would rather take their chances on him maybe paying back the entire amount of the loan. | Jul 27 01:06 |
| DaemonFC[m] | If it was just me, they would have sold me my own car out of the bankruptcy for book value because it's take $12,000 or get a car that you'll net $1,500 on at an auction. | Jul 27 01:07 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Since they still like their chances with John, they'd rather chance getting $19,000 out of him. | Jul 27 01:07 |
| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR: An interesting game. The only way to win is not to play. | Jul 27 01:08 |
| MinceR | :> | Jul 27 01:08 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I think that people who are in serious debt absolutely need to consider bankruptcy, and not let people scare them away from it. | Jul 27 01:10 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Which is more horrible? Filing some forms or getting your paycheck garnished for the next....forever? | Jul 27 01:10 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The way debt works in the US is that even if you try hard to stay out of it, it eventually will find you. | Jul 27 01:10 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I walked away from so much of it over the years because I wasn't worth suing at the time and they never got back to me. | Jul 27 01:11 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's really hard to say how much the bankruptcy wiped out. About $66,000 in total current debt probably. That is, what I could still be facing a lawsuit over. | Jul 27 01:12 |
| DaemonFC[m] | If you count zombie debt that I threw in all the way back to 2002, then closer to $150,000. | Jul 27 01:12 |
| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR: I had a chiropractor bill that actually did get lost in the mail in 2009. | Jul 27 01:13 |
| DaemonFC[m] | By the time I heard anything about it, I was actually sent a certified letter that cost them about a third of the co-pay going "Listen up, you deadbeat.". Over $22. | Jul 27 01:13 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So I listed him on the bankruptcy form so he'd get a letter. | Jul 27 01:14 |
| DaemonFC[m] | You get a letter, and you get a letter, and you get a letter! Everyone gets a letter. | Jul 27 01:14 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The funny part is that the court can't charge more than the filing fee no matter how many letters it sends out, so I sat there until I remembered nearly 100 people/companies I ever owed any money to. | Jul 27 01:14 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So they sent almost 100 letters out first class mail netting the post office $54 to notify all my creditors that there was nothing to take. | Jul 27 01:15 |
| DaemonFC[m] | :) | Jul 27 01:15 |
| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR: That landlord I hated in Chicago got two because I sent one to her LLC, which was registered at their home address, and to her husband's law firm as an interested part, on LaSalle St. | Jul 27 01:17 |
| DaemonFC[m] | *party | Jul 27 01:17 |
| *MinceR sends a Bloodletter | Jul 27 01:18 | |
| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR: Even better...... | Jul 27 01:18 |
| DaemonFC[m] | She threatened me "My husband is a lawyer.". | Jul 27 01:18 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So I addressed it to his law firm C/O "My husband is a lawyer". | Jul 27 01:18 |
| MinceR | "my daddy can beat up your daddy" | Jul 27 01:18 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Er Attn I mean. | Jul 27 01:19 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I thought it was funny. | Jul 27 01:19 |
| DaemonFC[m] | <MinceR ""my daddy can beat up your daddy"> Basically. | Jul 27 01:21 |
| DaemonFC[m] | For the economy as a whole, which is driven by consumer spending, that extra $600 a week has been “nothing short of a game-changer,” said Matt Schulz, chief industry analyst for LendingTree, the online credit marketplace. The company recently reviewed a large sample of credit card data from 800,000 users and found that unpaid balances, late payments and usage all fell from February to May, as the federal money be | Jul 27 01:24 |
| DaemonFC[m] | to flow. | Jul 27 01:24 |
| DaemonFC[m] | --- | Jul 27 01:24 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Backdoor bank bailout. | Jul 27 01:24 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They know people would scream if they just handed it to the banks and left them in debt. | Jul 27 01:24 |
| DaemonFC[m] | If they hand it to the people who owe money to the banks, they're more likely to hand it to the banks than file bankruptcy because we're conditioned to pay bills. | Jul 27 01:25 |

| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-www.cbsnews.com | Pelosi says Congress "can't go home without" a deal on coronavirus relief package - CBS News | Jul 27 01:50 | |
| DaemonFC[m] | Didn't really do much but waste all of the money they got only to file bankruptcy anyway, perhaps. | Jul 27 01:50 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Some people might work out partial payments as paid in full, but then they'll end up with a really nasty tax surprise next year. | Jul 27 01:52 |
| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR: Discretion is the better part of valor. | Jul 27 02:00 |
| DaemonFC[m] | People are inclined to fight things out to the end for some reason, including bills to some faceless megabank. | Jul 27 02:01 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They should have known that a program from Congress that gave an extra stipend to their unemployment with a July 31st end date was not going to get them out of trouble in the end. | Jul 27 02:02 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Immediately filing bankruptcy would have preserved valuable assets and now they might lose their home when those assets could have kept that from happening for another 3-4 months. | Jul 27 02:02 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The bankruptcy goes by assets and liabilities as of the date of filing. | Jul 27 02:03 |
| DaemonFC[m] | All you really need to do is reaffirm your lease and pay some bills ahead of time. Paying your landlord 3 months in advance to get rid of cash means you don't have the cash anymore. | Jul 27 02:03 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Paying a couple extra phone bills isn't going to get much attention. | Jul 27 02:04 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Just as corporations plan for exactly when to file bankruptcy and how to get rid of assets before the filing, people could do it too. | Jul 27 02:04 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The bankruptcy law covers squandering assets, but paying up your rent and phone bills for a couple months isn't going to trigger "abuse" provisions. | Jul 27 02:05 |
| DaemonFC[m] | What is abusive is, like, you have a car that you own that's worth $20,000, so you sell it to your mother for a dollar a month before you file. | Jul 27 02:06 |
| *GNUmoon (~GNUmoon@gateway/tor-sasl/gnumoon) has joined #techrights | Jul 27 02:11 | |
| DaemonFC[m] | Congress says no rent subsidies. They'll just force your landlord to let you keep living there. | Jul 27 02:27 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Yeah, why not? Eventually he'll file Chapter 11 and the banks will get a bunch of houses back. | Jul 27 02:27 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It is nice that the racist landlord my mom has is finally eating crow thanks to Trump. | Jul 27 02:28 |
| DaemonFC[m] | He had second mortgages on most of his properties anyway. The banks will be fighting each other in court over his leftovers. Nothing to leave to his kids. | Jul 27 02:28 |

| schestowitz | UK bankruptcies have gone through the roof | Jul 27 02:42 |
| schestowitz | US also | Jul 27 02:42 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Yes. The nasty letters are not just randomly worded. | Jul 27 02:44 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Everyone gets them and it's the same escalating "Shame on you." boilerplate. | Jul 27 02:44 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It was written by psychologists in order to make you feel bad for falling behind on your payments. | Jul 27 02:45 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's designed to make you also feel powerless because "They just keep coming and they're so mean.". That way you won't do anything. Then when they get you used to not doing anything, they sue you and you probably won't show up in court, even if there are objections or exemptions the judge would have given you, or there was a mistake on their complaint. | Jul 27 02:46 |
| schestowitz | well, you know who writes these things... | Jul 27 02:46 |
| DaemonFC[m] | ? | Jul 27 02:46 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I counted the letters from all of them. I got over 300 of them. | Jul 27 02:46 |
| DaemonFC[m] | First class mail too. | Jul 27 02:47 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They spent over $150 over the course of 6 months in postage alone just to harass me. | Jul 27 02:47 |
| schestowitz | usps can't be first class anymore | Jul 27 02:47 |
| schestowitz | they ruin their own class | Jul 27 02:47 |
| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: I spend quite a bit at the post office. | Jul 27 02:48 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Including about $100 a year on a small PO box. | Jul 27 02:48 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They give you the best price if you rent it 6 months at a time, so I do. | Jul 27 02:49 |
| DaemonFC[m] | That way there's somewhere for important mail and packages to go where it won't get stolen. | Jul 27 02:49 |

| schestowitz | any price is too much | Jul 27 02:58 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Yeah, the going rate is whatever the court will let them get away with. | Jul 27 02:59 |
| DaemonFC[m] | $785 (mine) is a lot better than most. | Jul 27 02:59 |
| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: They paid $900 more than I did, for a similarly complex case, 8 years ago. | Jul 27 03:00 |

| DaemonFC[m] | :) | Jul 27 04:02 |
| schestowitz | yup | Jul 27 04:02 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Well, it's nice to see another bug that couldn't possibly have been missed by anyone who knew what they were doing when designing a file system, which is not fixed even after you install Apple's patch. This is almost up there with the "Chrome web browser wipes out entire APFS file system because the user had System Integrity Protection off." Nobody at Apple bothered to test the file system with SIP off, apparently. S | Jul 27 04:05 |
| DaemonFC[m] | a bunch of Hollywood elitists had 143 Macs wiped out. | Jul 27 04:05 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's nice that a trillion dollar company writes code that's not as good as a Google Summer of Code intern's. | Jul 27 04:05 |

| DaemonFC[m] | The concept of efficiency is going away pretty fast these days. I get a new computer every 8-10 years and I start with GznOME because what the hell.....it's new. It can handle it. Then GNOME gets so big it forces me to change desktops halfway in. | Jul 27 18:07 |

| DaemonFC[m] | Is Tor blocked in Russia? | Jul 27 18:08 |
| scientes | XRevan86, also the first time I tried free software, after Windows XP SP1 had a 137GB 48-bit LBA bug | Jul 27 18:08 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Does anyone know? | Jul 27 18:08 |
| scientes | it would write over your boot record | Jul 27 18:08 |
| scientes | through a unsigned integer overflow | Jul 27 18:08 |
| XRevan86 | DaemonFC[m]: No, it's not specifically blocked. | Jul 27 18:09 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Windows always had really weird bugs if you used it on a significantly better computer than most people had. | Jul 27 18:09 |
| XRevan86 | DaemonFC[m]: But you've probably heard of the Dimitry Bogatov case. | Jul 27 18:10 |
| scientes | kinda similar to what happened to Linus :) | Jul 27 18:10 |
| XRevan86 | He ran a Tor exit node. | Jul 27 18:10 |
| DaemonFC[m] | When I replaced XP with 98SE stripped down, I got an insufficient memory error because I had 1 GB of RAM. | Jul 27 18:10 |
| scientes | XRevan86, that's why you run tor exit nodes in hacker spaces | Jul 27 18:11 |
| scientes | that why the FBI shows up and you can explain what a tor exit node is to them when they can't figure out who to arrest :) | Jul 27 18:11 |

| DaemonFC[m] | Microsoft said in theory, 9x supported up to 4 GB, but 98 had a bug where if you had more than 512 MB it would say out of memory unless you manually constrained the vcache. So I yanked one module, booted and installed it, changed the vcache, and shut down and put the module back in. | Jul 27 18:12 |
| scientes | > | Jul 27 18:12 |
| scientes | But rather than acknowledge their mistake, the Investigative Committee (the main federal investigative committee in the Russian Federation), appears to be doubling down. When a judge initially ruled that the charges against Bogatov were not serious enough to justify his continued detention, the Investigative Committee added the second, more serious charge of inciting terrorism. Days later, the court upheld the additional charges, formally | Jul 27 18:12 |
| scientes | arrested Bogatov, and ordered that he be held until his trial date on June 8. | Jul 27 18:12 |
| scientes | sounds like Russia | Jul 27 18:12 |
| DaemonFC[m] | That's pretty typical for the US too. | Jul 27 18:12 |
| scientes | did you get the wrong person? Who care, we got *somebody*. | Jul 27 18:12 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They arrest you based on a load of crap and say you can confess now and if you can't afford your bail you can wait in jail for 6 to 8 months on your constitutionally guaranteed speedy trial. | Jul 27 18:13 |
| XRevan86 | scientes: There's an observation that when a case goes to court, a pardon is a practical impossibility. | Jul 27 18:13 |

| DaemonFC[m] | Sometimes asking for a bench trial is better. The judge has to make his finding and cote the laws he's applying. | Jul 27 18:19 |

| XRevan86 | There's a lot of talk about how Putin formally retiring Khabarovsk's region governor on "lack of trust" is completely illegal, but courts won't care. | Jul 27 18:19 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The jury is supposed to apply the law, but they aren't lawyers and, oddly enough, you can't argue the law in court. | Jul 27 18:19 |
| scientes | XRevan86, well yeah, it is pretty common knowledge that Russian courts work that way, as do the courts of most countries | Jul 27 18:20 |
| scientes | I mean, he is the head of state | Jul 27 18:20 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So even if the law literally says it's impossible that you brole the law, they'll just overrule and strike it if it's mentioned. | Jul 27 18:20 |
| scientes | the premise that the US *doesn't* work that way is a central part of its identity myth | Jul 27 18:20 |

| DaemonFC[m] | The police don't necessarily have to steal from you, but they do. | Jul 27 19:21 |
| DaemonFC[m] | <scientes "XRevan86, considering that the p"> The government finds all kinds of ways to siphon off your money. | Jul 27 19:21 |
| DaemonFC[m] | In Illinois, there are taxes on everything, including taxes that make it harder to buy food and medicine. | Jul 27 19:21 |
| DaemonFC[m] | When government has a choice to limit its own growth or raise taxes, it usually just raises taxes. | Jul 27 19:22 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Then it costs more to live, so businesses have to raise wages. Either on their own, or by law. They can't make as much profit as they like, and they start cutting hours and firing people and figuring out how to give their jobs to robots and software programs, even if it irritates people like my mom. | Jul 27 19:23 |
| DaemonFC[m] | First it's a "choice to enhance customer service" and then those people just disappear and you can feel however you want about it. | Jul 27 19:23 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Walmart is beta testing a store with no cashiers, and pretty soon it'll be everywhere. The payroll savings will be irresistible. Right now at most stores, there's cashiers but it's 1 or 2 check outs out of dozens that are actually staffed. | Jul 27 19:24 |
| DaemonFC[m] | You see people using them, but those people are getting older and older. | Jul 27 19:24 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Everyone else just goes to the self checkout and presses a few buttons and pays and leaves instead of spending all day in line so they don't have to figure out how to ring up a bell pepper. | Jul 27 19:25 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I wondered if the Coronavirus would put a crimp on the self checkouts, but people still use them. | Jul 27 19:26 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They still make you touch all kinds of things. | Jul 27 19:26 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's gross.

| DaemonFC[m] | Yeah, Rick & Morty, the Unity episode. It took a planet over and assimilated them into a hive mind. Then Rick came and messed it up with drugs and people started to regain their own consciousness, and it turned out that the world was full of child molesters who wanted a race war. | Jul 27 19:34 |
| DaemonFC[m] | That was one of their funnier episodes. | Jul 27 19:34 |
| scientes | the fundamental problem is the insistence that rent-seeking behavior is OK, which is very non-Christian | Jul 27 19:35 |

| DaemonFC[m] | I've never seen anything like this that used humor to point out the depravity of the world we actually inhabit. Lexx as almost sort of a prototype, but while it aired in the US, it didn't have a huge fan base. Of course, I've seen every episode several times. Stanley Tweedle was basically to Lexx what Jerry is to Rick & Morty. We're all like Jerry or Stanley Tweedle a little bit sometimes. In over our heads. Try to | Jul 27 19:40 |
| DaemonFC[m] | impress people anyway, even though it rarely works. Run screaming from danger but occasionally display heroism that we didn't know we were capable of. Then, just as quickly, it's gone again. | Jul 27 19:40 |
| DaemonFC[m] | There was subtext to Stanley Tweedle choosing to keep his "Security Guard Class 4" uniform. Even though he (accidentally) destroyed a system that was subjugating him and keeping him alive for its own wretched amusement, and which would have killed him along with everyone else to feed the "gigashadow", it was still a system that represented order, so he clung to it subconsciously, even after it was gone. | Jul 27 19:44 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I think that this is actually a pretty good point in light of recent events. The America that people grew up in is dead and gone and replaced by some sort of Evil Empire that's still fashioning itself with the same name and title. Still, people stupidly wave their flags around and cling to something that is long gone because they remember better days. | Jul 27 19:46 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So, I mean, even I'm a Stanley Tweedle if you look closely enough, I suppose. | Jul 27 19:47 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Just a series of random accidents along the way have meant that my enemies get it worse than I did. | Jul 27 19:48 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Nobody expects Tweedle to pull one over on him because they look at him and go "This guy is a nobody. Are you serious?". That's also why Jerry wins sometimes. | Jul 27 19:48 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The episode of Rick & Morty where Rick screws up and accidentally turns everyone on Earth into "Cronenbergs" with a genetically modified flu, and Jerry picks up a shotgun and turns into Rambo. | Jul 27 19:50 |

| DaemonFC[m] | One of the funny parts is that Stanley actually performs his task as a Security Guard to the letter, obeying all of the orders he was given. (In the Pilot episode) The result is that he pisses off an incompetent superior and gets punished with a sentence of having an "arm, leg, eye, kidney, and testicle" removed. | Jul 27 19:54 |
| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR: When something is outrageously expensive and someone asks me how much, I've been saying, "Oh, you know.... Standard really. Arm, leg, eye, kidney, testicle....." ever since. | Jul 27 19:55 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The metaphor goes deeper. The system punishes people who actually do what they're supposed to by stripping them of everything that they don't strictly need in order to live and keep doing their task. | Jul 27 19:56 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Or, more succinctly, "No good deed goes unpunished.". | Jul 27 19:58 |
| MinceR | :> | Jul 27 20:03 |
| DaemonFC[m] | If you file bankruptcy and actually don't have anything, they'll just let you go. | Jul 27 20:06 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I ran into an article that suggested that Congress make "consumer friendly bankruptcy reforms". | Jul 27 20:07 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I said, "They already reformed it in 2005 by granting a wish list that the big banks made to the Republican Party. They are altering the deal. Pray they alter it no further!". | Jul 27 20:07 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The bankruptcy system we did have was a response to the Great Depression, actually. | Jul 27 20:08 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Congress was deeply concerned back then, that if people couldn't wipe out their debts that the economy never would get going again. | Jul 27 20:08 |
| DaemonFC[m] | With the Republican bankruptcy law, we've now had two very bad recessions without any sort of recovery, and Trump is sending out his people to tell a really big lie that a recovery will be expected immediately in the third quarter of this year. | Jul 27 20:09 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Also, my mom a few hours ago said Obama was an idiot and that he was "worse than what's happening now". Talk about delusional. | Jul 27 20:10 |
| DaemonFC[m] | She just refuses to see anything wrong happening while some racist jerk she voted for is in office. | Jul 27 20:10 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Indiana is just really messed up. It's one of the least democratic states in the country. There's virtually no turnover in the state government. | Jul 27 20:11 |

| DaemonFC[m] | Well, that incident on the Enterprise where he ignored orders and ended up merging his consciousness with the ship's computer, which eventually grew so large that they had trouble putting him back in his body, might have damaged his reputation a little bit. | Jul 27 20:38 |
| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR: Star Trek beats a lot of tropes to death though. | Jul 27 20:39 |
| DaemonFC[m] | "Blinded by logic" The Vulcan or Data arrive at a logical conclusion, which will result in more death and destruction than an emotional character who just takes a chance that everything will blow up and then it doesn't. | Jul 27 20:40 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Extreme logic should guide decisions that are purely based upon calculated risk. However, at times, it's an emotional decision that carries a bigger implied risk, but works out better than the "calculated" one. Of course, we don't see the correct "percentage" of times that things completely explode where a logical decision would have at least mitigated the damage. :) | Jul 27 20:42 |
| DaemonFC[m] | In facing criminal charges, I was left in such a predicament. I could have shouted "Damn the torpedoes!" and gone to court, and there might have been a 17% chance that the whole thing just went away, or I could make the "calculated risk" decision where 90% goes away for sure and 10% of the punishment sticks. | Jul 27 20:44 |
| DaemonFC[m] | If this was Star Trek, Jim Kirk would just have an outburst and everything would work out okay, even though 83% of the times he did it, the ship should have blown up. | Jul 27 20:44 |
| DaemonFC[m] | In reality, Spock would have made a better captain, with cold logic. | Jul 27 20:45 |

| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: The Federal Reserve and Congress are essentially forcing us into a banking crisis that might end in sovereign default as well to try to hold things together a bit longer. | Jul 27 23:17 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The national debt going up 50% in a single year is something that has never happened, even at the height of the second world war. | Jul 27 23:17 |

| DaemonFC[m] | It's very horrific and the news keeps downplaying it, even though our central bank is financing fully 70% of government spending for the year to date because nobody wants Trump's worthless Treasury Notes and the Fed is essentially a captive audience. | Jul 27 23:19 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The law essentially says that the Fed can't profit off of its Treasury Notes. The government pays interest and the Fed is only allowed to deduct its actual costs of servicing the Notes, which is quite low, and then the money essentially goes right back into the Treasury. | Jul 27 23:20 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So that should point out how utterly ridiculous this is, but it can keep going for a long time in a bad economy where most people can't afford to buy much. It's a liquidity trap that Japan ended up in to try to stop deflation from setting in. | Jul 27 23:21 |

| DaemonFC[m] | The 10 year Note is only paying half a point, so people hoard cash instead. Uncertain of what the future brings. We could still have a deflationary spiral if things get worse. Do you think anyone will spend money when the Republicans cut $400 a week from their unemployment? | Jul 27 23:23 |
| schestowitz | [23:17] <DaemonFC[m]> The national debt going up 50% in a single year is something that has never happened, even at the height of the second world war. | Jul 27 23:23 |
| schestowitz | wait. | Jul 27 23:23 |
| schestowitz | catching up with this, where does 50% come from? | Jul 27 23:23 |
| schestowitz | it would have to go to like 33 trillion by year's end | Jul 27 23:24 |
| schestowitz | did something new happen today? | Jul 27 23:24 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It will. | Jul 27 23:24 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Wait and see. CARES 2 is going to cost between $4-6 trillion and it was already sitting at $27 trillion. | Jul 27 23:24 |
| schestowitz | ah, I see | Jul 27 23:24 |
| schestowitz | another CARES? | Jul 27 23:24 |
| schestowitz | yes, makes sense then | Jul 27 23:25 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Now throw in normal government spending and what will happen when the government "rescues the banks". | Jul 27 23:25 |
| schestowitz | I saw debates about CARES extension | Jul 27 23:25 |
| schestowitz | I suppose it's moving forward | Jul 27 23:25 |
| schestowitz | helps Trump tuck in his belly another 100 days | Jul 27 23:25 |
| DaemonFC[m] | $4 trillion is with the $400/wk cuts to unemployment which will drive down consumer spending. | Jul 27 23:25 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So there's where the deflation trap kicks in. | Jul 27 23:25 |
| schestowitz | it has been weird here also | Jul 27 23:26 |
| schestowitz | the gym/spa is a ghost town | Jul 27 23:26 |
| schestowitz | rianne went back for the first time today | Jul 27 23:26 |
| schestowitz | I went 2 days ago | Jul 27 23:26 |
| schestowitz | nobody there almost | Jul 27 23:26 |
| schestowitz | my friends there cancelled/froze their memebrship | Jul 27 23:26 |
| DaemonFC[m] | As people have to cut spending (not a choice anymore) and more people stop paying their bills, and stop paying the rent (why would you if your landlord can't throw you out until March?) and file bankruptcy.... | Jul 27 23:26 |
| schestowitz | just the water and electricity bills alone would cost a lot | Jul 27 23:26 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Consumer prices start falling and people hoard money as it becomes an investment. | Jul 27 23:27 |
| DaemonFC[m] | If you cash buys more the longer you wait, you sit on as much as possible. | Jul 27 23:27 |
| schestowitz | assuming the banks allow payout | Jul 27 23:27 |
| schestowitz | there might be policies like the cypriot ones | Jul 27 23:28 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The stimulus checks are a one off event that buys us about 2-3 weeks until people have to tighten their belts. | Jul 27 23:28 |
| schestowitz | where they limit withdrawal and tax savers | Jul 27 23:28 |
| schestowitz | if you are superrich, you already stored the money away in some island, illegally but "touch nose", so that would not impact THEIR savings | Jul 27 23:28 |
| DaemonFC[m] | People went straight to Walmart to buy TVs and cheap laptops with the last check. | Jul 27 23:29 |
| schestowitz | US has too much debt | Jul 27 23:29 |
| schestowitz | Europe's Greece | Jul 27 23:29 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Now they're the same ones whining that they owe 8 credit cards and a car payment that they could have gotten rid of and negotiated in bankruptcy. | Jul 27 23:29 |
| schestowitz | Italy might be next BTW | Jul 27 23:29 |
| schestowitz | They also relied a lot on tourism | Jul 27 23:29 |
| schestowitz | this is the season Italy typically gets many tourists | Jul 27 23:29 |
| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: Bankruptcy makes a lot of sense right now. | Jul 27 23:29 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Get rid of bad debt that you have no chance of paying back and negotiate car loans down to the value of the car, or just send the car back and zero that out too. | Jul 27 23:30 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Or in my case, stick John with it. | Jul 27 23:30 |
| DaemonFC[m] | After 2 years, the car is worth half what you paid for it, but you have about 3/4ths of the loan left. | Jul 27 23:31 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So if you file bankruptcy, the finance company people can choose whether they want a car back that will get them pennies at an auction or if they would rather take fair market value. | Jul 27 23:31 |
| schestowitz | hang on | Jul 27 23:32 |
| schestowitz | I have a task at work | Jul 27 23:32 |
| schestowitz | bbiab | Jul 27 23:32 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The bank will come back at you and try to say something like they did with my ex. | Jul 27 23:33 |
| DaemonFC[m] | "Well, at a dealer lot, we could get $11,000 for this." | Jul 27 23:34 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So he says "I'd like to have it appraised." So the trustee appoints someone to appraise it, and it has undeclared damage from when he hit a deer and didn't have car insurance. | Jul 27 23:34 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The trustee tells the bank "Well, it's damaged and the appraisal says it's worth $4,400." and the bank wouldn't accept that, so Michael said "Fine. Take it." So the trustee finally gave the bank relief from the stay, but they still had to find it and repo it. | Jul 27 23:35 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So Michael started parking it behind an abandoned bowling alley. A little over 2 months later, it wasn't there anymore. | Jul 27 23:36 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They find the car eventually. But in that case, they lost over $15,000 and he drove it for 9 months without making payments. | Jul 27 23:36 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Why would you have a car repaired if the bank is after you and they are going to get it back? | Jul 27 23:37 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So for 6 months after he hit the deer, he just drove it around with the front end smashed up. | Jul 27 23:38 |
| DaemonFC[m] | He said he sprayed out as much of the deer as he could but there was still fur lodged in the grill and stuff. | Jul 27 23:39 |
| DaemonFC[m] | He had me laughing so hard I couldn't breathe. | Jul 27 23:39 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I told him about the Impala and what a piece of crap it was. The drains at the bottom of one of the doors plugged up and it flooded the interior. | Jul 27 23:41 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I didn't want to buy a wet dry vac so I drove over and used the free vacuum at the car wash that said "Don't vacuum liquids." and pumped about 15 gallons out of the car. | Jul 27 23:41 |
| schestowitz | only 7 reported dead from covid19 today in the uk | Jul 27 23:43 |
| schestowitz | 600 or so new cases | Jul 27 23:43 |
| schestowitz | this sounds good | Jul 27 23:43 |
| schestowitz | 600... compared to 2000+ in Spain | Jul 27 23:43 |
| schestowitz | 2000+ in Israel also.. tiny country | Jul 27 23:43 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Like 60,000 more in the US. | Jul 27 23:43 |
| schestowitz | so I think we've managed to contain the spread for the most part | Jul 27 23:43 |
| schestowitz | the deaths, I've heard, are still mostly very old people | Jul 27 23:44 |
| schestowitz | vulnerable and on the verge to begin with | Jul 27 23:44 |
| schestowitz | 300,111 cases confirmed here since it all started in January | Jul 27 23:44 |
| schestowitz | US does that in 4 days :-) | Jul 27 23:44 |
| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: The stupid idiots on Twitter going "It's jut a flu! MAGA!" then they get it. | Jul 27 23:44 |
| schestowitz | Twitter is shit | Jul 27 23:45 |
| schestowitz | it also got a LOT worse | Jul 27 23:45 |
| schestowitz | twitter banned many qanon nuts lately | Jul 27 23:45 |

| schestowitz | I made this some days ago | Jul 27 23:45 |
| schestowitz | took me some time, but conveyed many things I've long had in mind | Jul 27 23:46 |
| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: I told mom "Well, you liked Steve's post about how 98% survive and to just get over it, and now his whole family is very sick with it.". | Jul 27 23:46 |
| DaemonFC[m] | "Will you unlike that if one of them dies?" | Jul 27 23:46 |
| DaemonFC[m] | We haven't had a weekday lately with less than 90 bankruptcies in IL-ND. | Jul 27 23:47 |
| schestowitz | FB is a virus | Jul 27 23:47 |
| schestowitz | tell her, delete your account | Jul 27 23:47 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's ticking up again but it's not near where it's going to be. | Jul 27 23:47 |
| schestowitz | for giving you bad advice and spreading it | Jul 27 23:47 |
| DaemonFC[m] | These are just the people that are getting it out of the way before the shit hits the fan. | Jul 27 23:47 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Oh her, workplace has this ridiculous policy now about how you can either wear a space suit (basically) while their air conditioner is broken. | Jul 27 23:48 |
| schestowitz | 180,000 tests in the UK this past day | Jul 27 23:48 |
| schestowitz | 685 positive | Jul 27 23:48 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Or you can bring scrubs in and change in one of the public bathrooms. | Jul 27 23:48 |
| schestowitz | that's like...4 in a thousand I think | Jul 27 23:49 |
| schestowitz | and they don't pick a random sample | Jul 27 23:49 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I told her "You mean scrubs that you washed with the clothes you had when you came in, and you have to change in a restroom that's just as likely to be contaminated as anything else?". | Jul 27 23:49 |
| schestowitz | I hope this is true and they're not manipulating the stats | Jul 27 23:49 |
| DaemonFC[m] | She's like, "Yeah, it's ridiculous, but those are the rules.". | Jul 27 23:49 |
| schestowitz | she might already be a carrier | Jul 27 23:50 |
| schestowitz | meet her in hazmat suit | Jul 27 23:50 |
| schestowitz | Mexico about to have more total deaths than UK | Jul 27 23:51 |
| schestowitz | India also getting there | Jul 27 23:51 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Well, that's what you get for hiring nurses who don't know how to do math, believe in "witchcraft" interpretations of Christianity, and spread COVID-19 conspiracy theories on Facebook that they got from Trump. | Jul 27 23:51 |
| schestowitz | Nations that encourage and reward stupidity perish | Jul 27 23:51 |
| schestowitz | we have our own clown now, Bozo Johnson | Jul 27 23:51 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I remember at one interview, she had my dad sitting there passing answers to her at the agency. | Jul 27 23:52 |
| DaemonFC[m] | He was pretending to read a book and he was writing the answers down in the inner cover. | Jul 27 23:52 |
| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: They're so desperate to hire nurses that they'll hire anything. | Jul 27 23:52 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The one that was in the ER last time I was there (in Chicago) was just fucking trash. All tatted up, didn't give a shit. | Jul 27 23:53 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I mean, like why would you? You've seen 1,000 people a day come in with bullet holes, you've seen it all. | Jul 27 23:53 |

| schestowitz | Chicago seems like the next Detroit, with nicer buildings | Jul 27 23:58 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The reason the city is so fucked up is because the police are scared to even go into those neighborhoods and do anything, so it's already CHOP down there. Worse than CHOP. | Jul 27 23:58 |
