| DaemonFC | Seems that some cable companies are starting to bill customers who own their own modems a $7 a month "support" fee. | Sep 11 08:07 |
| DaemonFC | Which is the same price of renting one of their modems. | Sep 11 08:07 |
| DaemonFC | I give up. You can't win with these people. | Sep 11 08:07 |
| JimmyCarter | respek da monopoluh | Sep 11 08:09 |
| JimmyCarter | actually you shuld report them to the better business bureau | Sep 11 08:09 |
| DaemonFC | Like they care. | Sep 11 08:09 |
| DaemonFC | If being voted the worst company in America didn't scare Comcast, why would the BBB? | Sep 11 08:09 |
| DaemonFC | :) | Sep 11 08:09 |
| iophk | Have you seen how the BBB has handled M$ complaints? They just gloss over them. | Sep 11 08:10 |
| DaemonFC | I'm not buying a cable modem because I hope that there will be another company doing business here before I'd recoup my costs. | Sep 11 08:10 |
| JimmyCarter | theres a BBB in every state | Sep 11 08:10 |
| DaemonFC | Metronet says they've been trying to get my apartment complex to allow them to service the tenants here. | Sep 11 08:10 |
| DaemonFC | Comcast doesn't know that I'm not allowed to go to Metronet, so I just call them every six months and threaten to. | Sep 11 08:11 |
| DaemonFC | Then Comcast knocks $20 a month off my bill for another six months. :P | Sep 11 08:11 |
| DaemonFC | Windows is pretty much considered a fact of life just because it comes preloaded on nearly every new computer whether you want it or not. | Sep 11 08:12 |
| DaemonFC | So people have just gotten used to dealing with it. | Sep 11 08:12 |
| DaemonFC | It's not catching on with devices because Android and iOS were already there, and people think of Windows as that thing that already fucks up their PC. | Sep 11 08:13 |
| MisterE | you should report that to a slew of agencies | Sep 11 08:13 |

| MisterE | type it once and send it to everyone | Sep 11 08:13 |

| DaemonFC | I pay $7 a month to rent a gateway. | Sep 11 08:17 |
| JimmyCarter | not macs DaemonFC | Sep 11 08:17 |
| DaemonFC | It would take 16 months to break even if I bought one. | Sep 11 08:17 |
| DaemonFC | I'm kind of hoping that I won't have to do business with Comcast by then. | Sep 11 08:17 |

| MisterE | I'll be buying a fiber modem soon | Sep 11 08:18 |
| DaemonFC | Another reason I want to switch to Metronet is because they're a small ISP that hasn't been coerced into joining Six Strikes. | Sep 11 08:18 |
| DaemonFC | Comcast has a conflict of interest there. | Sep 11 08:19 |
| JimmyCarter | although apples markup strategy is sadistic | Sep 11 08:19 |
| DaemonFC | The ideal ISP deals with DMCA complaints by forwarding them to the customer and not revealing who had that IP address at that point in time without a valid court order to do so. | Sep 11 08:20 |
| DaemonFC | Comcast has been doing that in some cases, like with porn trolls. | Sep 11 08:20 |
| DaemonFC | But not when it's the RIAA/MPAA. | Sep 11 08:20 |
| DaemonFC | A lot of copyright holders never follow through with individual lawsuits because they know it's unlikely that they'll get a big payday. | Sep 11 08:21 |
| DaemonFC | That's why Six Strikes came about. | Sep 11 08:21 |
| DaemonFC | If thousands of pirates just get disconnected from the internet, the problem goes away without spending the big bucks taking people who will file for bankruptcy to court. | Sep 11 08:22 |

| DaemonFC | It's rare to get a DMCA complaint. | Sep 11 08:22 |
| DaemonFC | I've gotten exactly ONE of them and I've been using file sharing since Napster. | Sep 11 08:23 |
| DaemonFC | The one I got was from a porn company. | Sep 11 08:23 |
| JimmyCarter | torrents are p lame | Sep 11 08:25 |
| JimmyCarter | 1 hop indirection could foil current trojan peer based enforcement | Sep 11 08:25 |
| DaemonFC | The individual lawsuits failed because their goal was to pop up at random and attack a few people in the hope that it would scare everyone else. | Sep 11 08:25 |
| JimmyCarter | I2P filesharing perhaps popular next | Sep 11 08:25 |
| DaemonFC | Individual RIAA/MPAA lawsuits were effectively a form of terrorism. | Sep 11 08:26 |
| JimmyCarter | some people really believe in intellectual property, ask musicians | Sep 11 08:27 |
| JimmyCarter | ad copyright | Sep 11 08:28 |

| DaemonFC | The people that they expect to shop there no longer have any disposable income. | Sep 11 08:28 |
| DaemonFC | As long as people are financially strained, the non-essential spending has to stop. | Sep 11 08:29 |
| DaemonFC | Cable TV is losing a million customers per year in the US at this point. | Sep 11 08:29 |
| JimmyCarter | good riddance | Sep 11 08:30 |
| JimmyCarter | comcast wont last forever | Sep 11 08:30 |
| DaemonFC | People see they're spending $100 a month or more on something that they really don't need and it has to stop because their real wages are going down. | Sep 11 08:30 |
| JimmyCarter | i remember when i praised comcast because it was ridic better for internet than monooly it displayed: SBC | Sep 11 08:31 |
| DaemonFC | I used to have SBC. | Sep 11 08:31 |
| DaemonFC | AT&T bought them. | Sep 11 08:31 |
| DaemonFC | The DSL service available in my area has not improved at all since 2002. | Sep 11 08:31 |
| DaemonFC | The price has gone up. | Sep 11 08:31 |
| JimmyCarter | so comcast offering cablemodem was a lot better than alternative | Sep 11 08:33 |
| JimmyCarter | but its all relative. many years later. comcast nothing compared to google fiber. and theyre charging you 7$ for cablemodem you own | Sep 11 08:34 |
| DaemonFC | I'm saving up for a newer car, so all the spending that could be cut has been cut. | Sep 11 08:40 |
| DaemonFC | I got rid of my cable a couple of years ago and have not been tempted to get it back. | Sep 11 08:41 |
| DaemonFC | It just seems so ridiculous that they can charge those prices for what they deliver (mostly reruns and very old movies). | Sep 11 08:41 |

| DaemonFC | The dome lights wouldn't shut off so I had to pull a fuse, which also caused the radio, the power mirrors, and the power door locks to stop working. | Sep 11 09:03 |

| DaemonFC | Someone broke off one of the door lock knobs on the rear passenger side, so that door doesn't open. | Sep 11 09:05 |

| DaemonFC | Indiana now says it will expand the Healthy Indiana Program instead of Medicaid. | Sep 11 10:09 |
| DaemonFC | Truth is, they're both crap. | Sep 11 10:09 |
| DaemonFC | HIP is an overglorified Health Savings Account that can only serve about one in every ten people that should otherwise qualify for it, and Medicaid is even worse. | Sep 11 10:10 |
| DaemonFC | Medicaid has been completely hollowed out. It exists in theory, if you can find a doctor who will do a well-child exam for $6 or a dentist that will fill a cavity for $30. | Sep 11 10:11 |
| MisterE | anything short of a UK style DHS single-payer option is an insult | Sep 11 10:11 |
| DaemonFC | Since none of them do, people on Medicaid use the ER like people without any insurance do. | Sep 11 10:11 |
| DaemonFC | The only part of Medicaid that functions like it should is the part that pays Medicare Part B and D premiums for very low income people. | Sep 11 10:12 |
| DaemonFC | People don't realize what the Obamacare Medicaid expansion really is. | Sep 11 10:12 |
| MisterE | nor did they realize what Bush's prescription drug scam was / is | Sep 11 10:13 |
| DaemonFC | It takes worthless pretend insurance that's meant to provide the illusion that poor and very sick people aren't left to fend on their own, and expands that. | Sep 11 10:13 |
| MisterE | totally unfunded handout | Sep 11 10:13 |
| DaemonFC | Now four times as many people can have insurance that doctors won't accept. | Sep 11 10:14 |
| MisterE | heh | Sep 11 10:14 |
| DaemonFC | The program is chronically under-funded. Most of what it costs to run it is the Medicare Savings Program that helps low income people pay their Medicare premiums. | Sep 11 10:14 |
| DaemonFC | I had an ex that was so poor that he qualified for Indiana Medicaid. This was almost 10 years ago now. | Sep 11 10:15 |
| DaemonFC | They considered his application to be an "emergency" since he was between the ages of 18 and 21. | Sep 11 10:15 |
| DaemonFC | So the first thing that happens, is that we're at the dental clinic to get x-rays and cleanings (they do them for much less than a dentist's office would). | Sep 11 10:16 |
| DaemonFC | While we're there, they do his x-rays and find one small cavity. | Sep 11 10:16 |
| DaemonFC | So I take him to a dentist in Fort Wayne that accepted Medicaid. | Sep 11 10:16 |
| DaemonFC | The dentist turns on the nitrous oxide, and when he comes to, he has FOUR new fillings. | Sep 11 10:17 |
| DaemonFC | Why four fillings for one cavity? | Sep 11 10:17 |
| DaemonFC | The Medicaid reimbursement rate is so low that the dentist drilled and filled three healthy teeth so that Medicaid would pay him something. | Sep 11 10:18 |
| DaemonFC | He gets away with it because it's his word against the word of some poor people that nobody cares about. | Sep 11 10:18 |
| MisterE | jesus | Sep 11 10:18 |
| MisterE | I have all my dental work done at dental schools | Sep 11 10:18 |
| DaemonFC | The one in Fort Wayne only does cleanings and x-rays. | Sep 11 10:18 |

| DaemonFC | Yeah. If the public had access to something like the VA, they'd be pissed at how badly they've been treated for all these years. | Sep 11 10:22 |
| DaemonFC | Politicians try cutting into the VA all the time, but they never quite get away with it because it's "for veterans!". | Sep 11 10:23 |
| DaemonFC | There's basically three groups of people that can get help from the government without taking any public shaming for it. | Sep 11 10:24 |
| DaemonFC | Veterans, old people, and children. | Sep 11 10:25 |
| DaemonFC | Now that they've blown all the money and the Social Security bills are coming due because of the baby boomer generation retiring, the government is trying to cut into Social Security. | Sep 11 10:27 |
| DaemonFC | Well, Carlin did say that they'd get it back sooner or later. | Sep 11 10:27 |
| DaemonFC | Paying out Social Security benefits that are due is going to hinge on the government being able to continue borrowing, and hopefully at low interest rates that are not guaranteed to continue. | Sep 11 10:28 |

| DaemonFC | I just saw one of those JD Byrider commercials. | Sep 11 12:51 |
| DaemonFC | Those are really annoying. | Sep 11 12:51 |
| DaemonFC | (Bad credit car dealer) | Sep 11 12:51 |
| DaemonFC | They have this jingle "You get the credit, you get the car! JD Byrider!", so I started singing "You get the lemon, we trash your credit! JD Byrider!" | Sep 11 12:52 |
| DaemonFC | They're pretty much infamous for selling cars that break down on your way back home with them and doing lots of repossessions for various reasons (including the ever popular "The car didn't even make it home and it needs $2,000 worth of work. Come get it!" one...) | Sep 11 12:54 |
| DaemonFC | The guy that started that company actually had some new car dealerships before that. One of my aunts bought a new car from DeVoe Chevrolet. She kept having problems with the driver's window motor. They'd keep "fixing" it (and getting the warranty money from GM) and then it would stop working again a few days later. | Sep 11 12:57 |
| DaemonFC | She finally went to one of the technicians and said "You're never going to fix this, are you?" | Sep 11 12:57 |
| DaemonFC | He said "Well, I'm not allowed to tell you that." | Sep 11 12:58 |

| oiaohm | DaemonFC: there is worse. | Sep 11 13:00 |
| oiaohm | Wait until you have a car failure needing auto elect + mechenic + locksmith. | Sep 11 13:01 |
| DaemonFC | I did lock myself out of my car once. That sucked. | Sep 11 13:05 |
| DaemonFC | Thankfully it was a small town and I flagged down a police officer and signed a damage waiver. | Sep 11 13:06 |
| DaemonFC | He managed to get the door open. | Sep 11 13:06 |
| oiaohm | DaemonFC: can you work out what fault I am refering to that requires all those there at the same time at your car to fix it. | Sep 11 13:06 |
| DaemonFC | My car alarm was going off until I managed to reach in and grab the remote. | Sep 11 13:06 |
| oiaohm | DaemonFC: you know the rfid detector in the sterring to detect the new keys. | Sep 11 13:07 |
| DaemonFC | Ever since that incident, I've always had a spare car door key in my wallet. :) | Sep 11 13:07 |
| oiaohm | DaemonFC: you need all three to be able to remove and replace it. | Sep 11 13:07 |
| oiaohm | DaemonFC: until is fixed cars don't go anywhere. | Sep 11 13:08 |
| DaemonFC | I like to do my shopping and stuff at night. Around 2-3 AM when nobody else is out. | Sep 11 13:10 |
| DaemonFC | I hate getting stuck behind other people. | Sep 11 13:11 |
| DaemonFC | There's always the guy that goes 5 MPH through the light and makes everyone else miss it, etc., etc. | Sep 11 13:11 |
| oiaohm | DaemonFC: I am in a backwater. No 24/7 shopping. | Sep 11 13:11 |

| oiaohm | Serousally its the only thing here you can buy any hour of the day. | Sep 11 13:12 |
| DaemonFC | I think it is safe for most people to stop fucking now. The world obviously has too much redundancy if I keep getting stuck behind that guy. | Sep 11 13:12 |
| DaemonFC | I think MinceR would agree. | Sep 11 13:12 |
| MinceR | indeed. | Sep 11 13:13 |
| oiaohm | DaemonFC: really is a lack of redundancy because if there was enough redundancy you should be able to avoid his path. | Sep 11 13:13 |
| DaemonFC | There is no avoiding "that guy". | Sep 11 13:14 |
| DaemonFC | Unless you can get away with driving at night, when "that guy" is asleep. | Sep 11 13:14 |
| DaemonFC | The thing I haven't figured out yet is why I always get stuck waiting on a train no matter what time I leave the house. | Sep 11 13:15 |
| DaemonFC | If they're booking it, I just put the car in park and wait. | Sep 11 13:15 |
| DaemonFC | If they're creeping along, I put the car in park and shut the engine off. | Sep 11 13:16 |
| DaemonFC | Gas is too expensive to get 0 MPG. | Sep 11 13:16 |
| DaemonFC | I've seen them take over 15 minutes to clear the road before. | Sep 11 13:17 |
| oiaohm | DaemonFC: that 0MPG problem is where hybrids are good. | Sep 11 13:17 |
| DaemonFC | People around me keep their engines on. Each one of them probably wasted $5-6 waiting for the train to pass. | Sep 11 13:17 |
| MinceR | EVs are even better at that :> | Sep 11 13:17 |
| oiaohm | MinceR: I am in Australia I need millage at times. | Sep 11 13:17 |
| oiaohm | EV still have horible millage problems. | Sep 11 13:18 |
| MinceR | ic | Sep 11 13:18 |
| DaemonFC | MinceR, Well, if you have $37,000 plus Indiana sales tax, plus title, registration, and license fees, plus the $800 delivery surcharge just sitting around, I'd love to have a Chevy Volt. | Sep 11 13:18 |
| oiaohm | DaemonFC: reason why you get stuck by trains is poor road design. Lack of railway under/over passes. | Sep 11 13:18 |
| MinceR | sounds more like a range problem | Sep 11 13:19 |
| oiaohm | DaemonFC: trains don't run to a perfect time table. | Sep 11 13:19 |
| MinceR | isn't the chevy volt just another power split hybrid? | Sep 11 13:19 |
| DaemonFC | I think it has a gasoline engine, but it doesn't use it for in-town driving. | Sep 11 13:19 |
| DaemonFC | You have to deplete the battery or go more than 40 MPH for that to turn on I think. | Sep 11 13:20 |
| DaemonFC | So you're still looking at some savings. | Sep 11 13:20 |
| DaemonFC | Assuming you have the money to buy the car in the first place. | Sep 11 13:20 |
| DaemonFC | That's a problem for about 85% of the American public right now. | Sep 11 13:20 |

| DaemonFC | Obama is talking about tougher CAFE standards as if people can just go out and buy a new car. | Sep 11 13:21 |
| oiaohm | MinceR: petrol goes to generator. | Sep 11 13:21 |
| oiaohm | MinceR: so only thing connect to wheels in a Chevrolet volt is the electric motors. | Sep 11 13:21 |
| DaemonFC | Completely ignoring the reality that MOST people are driving something that is very old and are just barely able to keep patching it up so it will work well past its expected useful life. | Sep 11 13:21 |
| DaemonFC | I'm sure that Ford did not design my car to be running 20 years later. | Sep 11 13:22 |
| MinceR | i thought only the concept vehicle version of the Volt was a series hybrid | Sep 11 13:22 |
| oiaohm | MinceR: Chevrolet Volt is a EV with means to do lots of millage. | Sep 11 13:22 |
| MinceR | and then they turned it into a power split hybrid for mass production | Sep 11 13:22 |
| MinceR | but then again, that article could have been entirely wrong | Sep 11 13:22 |
| MinceR | (the one i read that in) | Sep 11 13:22 |
| DaemonFC | I see lots of people driving cars that are way older than 1995. | Sep 11 13:22 |
| DaemonFC | I saw someone driving a 1987 Chevrolet Celebrity the other day. | Sep 11 13:23 |
| DaemonFC | Lots of people driving really old cars. | Sep 11 13:23 |
| iophk | Gasoline must be almost free there. | Sep 11 13:23 |
| DaemonFC | Bumping up the CAFE standards today won't have much of an effect for the next 10 years. | Sep 11 13:23 |
| MinceR | gasoline is still very cheap in the usa, afaik | Sep 11 13:24 |
| DaemonFC | Nearly $4 per gallon. | Sep 11 13:24 |
| DaemonFC | When I started driving, it was only like $1.60-$1.75. | Sep 11 13:25 |
| DaemonFC | Something like that. | Sep 11 13:25 |
| oiaohm | MinceR: Volt in mass production is a hybrid in prototype was a hybrid because batteries that stored enough power could not be made. | Sep 11 13:25 |
| oiaohm | MinceR: and still has not been made. | Sep 11 13:25 |
| DaemonFC | So in a little over 13 years, it's more than doubled in price. | Sep 11 13:26 |
| MinceR | i don't think i understand you | Sep 11 13:26 |
| DaemonFC | wages haven't | Sep 11 13:26 |
| DaemonFC | So gas prices are having a real drag on buying power. | Sep 11 13:26 |
| oiaohm | MinceR: yes the volt first idea was to be a EV. Problem was batteries. Early docs say it going to be a EV. | Sep 11 13:26 |
| iophk | $4 per gallon is about $1.06 per liter | Sep 11 13:26 |
| oiaohm | MinceR: basically if we had better batteries the Volt would be a EV. | Sep 11 13:27 |
| MinceR | ic | Sep 11 13:27 |
| oiaohm | MinceR: your confusion comes from what the volt idea was. | Sep 11 13:27 |
| oiaohm | MinceR: not what the prototypes were. | Sep 11 13:27 |
| MinceR | there's also that series hybrids are also described as extended range EVs or something | Sep 11 13:27 |
| oiaohm | MinceR: ie the combustion engine was included in the prototypes to make up for the missing battery caps. | Sep 11 13:27 |
| iophk | That's about 0.80 EUR per liter if I did it correctly. | Sep 11 13:27 |
| DaemonFC | I think it's unfair to overlook what's happened in the last 10 years. | Sep 11 13:27 |
| oiaohm | MinceR: volt is a extended range EVs | Sep 11 13:28 |
| DaemonFC | Many people have seen their wages cut in half while the price of things has doubled. | Sep 11 13:28 |
| DaemonFC | 10 years ago I didn't really stop to worry about how much gas was going to cost. | Sep 11 13:28 |
| oiaohm | MinceR: extended range EV's have the one common feature the fuel motor with no connection to drive train. | Sep 11 13:28 |
| MinceR | indeed | Sep 11 13:28 |
| DaemonFC | I just went wherever I wanted to. | Sep 11 13:28 |
| DaemonFC | Of course, the car insurance companies really lay into you when you're 18 years old. | Sep 11 13:29 |
| oiaohm | Funny enough petol to generator to drive electric motors can work out more effective than having gear boxes and junk. | Sep 11 13:29 |
| DaemonFC | My premiums were about $100 a month then and $24 a month now for the same coverage. | Sep 11 13:30 |
| oiaohm | DaemonFC: you have to allow for how stupid 18 year olds can be. | Sep 11 13:30 |
| oiaohm | DaemonFC: 18 year old with cheep insurance lot of payouts would be coming. | Sep 11 13:30 |
| DaemonFC | I think they just exaggerate that as an excuse to gouge. | Sep 11 13:31 |
| oiaohm | DaemonFC: I have had the fun of working for insurance brokers. | Sep 11 13:31 |
| DaemonFC | Such a scam. | Sep 11 13:32 |
| oiaohm | Sorry they are not gouging that much. | Sep 11 13:32 |
| oiaohm | From an insurance point of view they would like for no one to drive on the open road before 22. | Sep 11 13:32 |
| oiaohm | between 16 to 22 is the most likely time for you to be in an at fault acciedent. | Sep 11 13:33 |
| DaemonFC | I guess I should probably carry more coverage, but I just don't because I have enough to legally drive the car without being hit with major fines, jail, and license revocation. | Sep 11 13:35 |
| DaemonFC | I just keep the minimum amount. | Sep 11 13:35 |
| DaemonFC | My car is a big pile of shit that's not worth very much and I guess I'm feeling lucky. | Sep 11 13:35 |
| oiaohm | Some cars the insurnace is the in bank balacne. | Sep 11 13:35 |
| oiaohm | I have had a few crap cars only worth 1000 dollars or so. | Sep 11 13:36 |
| DaemonFC | There's a couple of states where you don't have to carry car insurance. | Sep 11 13:36 |
| DaemonFC | New Hampshire doesn't require it at all. | Sep 11 13:36 |
| oiaohm | Yes it suppirsing how cheep a car can be when its missing all the insides bar the drivers seat. | Sep 11 13:36 |
| DaemonFC | Virginia doesn't make you carry it, but it's cheaper if you do in most cases. | Sep 11 13:37 |
| oiaohm | Car insurance here in Australia is part of car rego for the basic third party. | Sep 11 13:37 |
| DaemonFC | If you don't, you have to pay $500 a year to the state, which pays out claims from a fund. | Sep 11 13:37 |
| oiaohm | Ie no rego stick of you have no third party insurance simple. | Sep 11 13:37 |
| oiaohm | None of this crap of having paper to cart with car. | Sep 11 13:37 |
| DaemonFC | So the state ends up becoming the place to go when nobody will give you affordable insurance. | Sep 11 13:37 |
| oiaohm | DaemonFC: our rego payment and our insruance are linked in Australia. | Sep 11 13:38 |
| DaemonFC | Having a car worth more than a few thousand dollars is almost always a Big Mistake. | Sep 11 13:38 |
| DaemonFC | If you do, you'll end up needing all kinds of insurance, maybe a car loan. | Sep 11 13:38 |
| DaemonFC | You'll be watching it depreciate rapidly. | Sep 11 13:39 |
| oiaohm | Car loan intergrated insurance here. | Sep 11 13:39 |
| DaemonFC | They actually have this thing called gap insurance for people who buy new cars. | Sep 11 13:39 |
| oiaohm | The loan provider for car also agrees to insure it for life of loan. | Sep 11 13:39 |
| DaemonFC | Because if you wreck it when it's only a year old, the car is worth an average of about $6,900 less than what you owe on it. | Sep 11 13:39 |
| DaemonFC | How's that for a terrible investment? | Sep 11 13:39 |
| oiaohm | DaemonFC: Australian law is a techical mess. | Sep 11 13:39 |
| oiaohm | DaemonFC: if you have a loan on a car do you own it. | Sep 11 13:40 |
| DaemonFC | Here. Invest this much money and I guarantee you'll lose a third of it by this time next year! | Sep 11 13:40 |

| oiaohm | DaemonFC: low milage is rare in Australia with second hand. | Sep 11 13:50 |
| oiaohm | DaemonFC: ok you might have a recondudioned japan engine in the car giving it a low millage engine. | Sep 11 13:51 |
| oiaohm | DaemonFC: but japan engines are hell due to all the extra envormental control parts on them. | Sep 11 13:51 |
| oiaohm | When I say japan engine. I mean a engine that was designed for use in japan. Not a japan made one. | Sep 11 13:52 |

| DaemonFC | You're getting the satisfaction of knowing you got duped into paying another $15 for your oil change. | Sep 11 17:21 |
| DaemonFC | That's what you get for the extra money. | Sep 11 17:21 |
| DaemonFC | You shouldn't use that because your car has a lot of miles. You'd only use it to cover up problems that your engine already has. | Sep 11 17:22 |
| DaemonFC | Minor oil leaks caused by bad seals and rings, sometimes smoke coming out of the tailpipe. | Sep 11 17:22 |
| DaemonFC | It's not a magic elixir that turns a shitty car into a new car. It's something you'd use once....when you're trying to unload it onto someone else. | Sep 11 17:23 |

| DaemonFC | ZOMG PINK PONIES says: | Sep 11 18:18 |
| DaemonFC | Most of the jobs being created remind me of that scene in that James Bond movie with the unnecessarily slow laser that will cut him in half while the villain says "No, Mister Bond! I expect you to die!". | Sep 11 18:18 |
| DaemonFC | Anyone who has ever worked for an abusive low wage employer should appreciate that. The longer you work for those people, the poorer you get, the more things you fall behind on. | Sep 11 18:18 |
| DaemonFC | We often hear about seniors on Social Security and Medicare having to choose between food, rent, medical care, and groceries, but millions of people between ages 18-65 have those problems and more (many have no guaranteed income and no insurance at all). They're right. That is a terrible choice that nobody should ever have to make. People I used to work with at Walmart were trying to feed their children healthy food, while they subsisted lar | Sep 11 18:18 |
| DaemonFC | gely on ramen noodles and peanut butter sandwiches themselves. Everyone wants better for their kids, but the truth is that for most people there's not a hell of a lot out there now, and it's only getting worse. | Sep 11 18:18 |
| DaemonFC | Low wage jobs leave people ripe for exploitation by the flip side of the poverty coin. Things like payday loan sharks, rent-to-own, check cashing for a fee, and "buy here pay here" car lots that double the fair market value of vehicles and then finance them at the kind of APR you'd get on the credit card from hell. Collection agencies calling about medical bills that are unpayable...... | Sep 11 18:18 |
| DaemonFC | Well, luckily the bastards haven't managed to shut down Planned Parenthood in Indiana, yet. | Sep 11 18:20 |
| DaemonFC | They run what's possibly the largest poverty relief program there is. Sterilization at a sliding-scale fee. | Sep 11 18:21 |
| DaemonFC | People who are trapped in poverty have kids, and those kids cause them to sink further into poverty. | Sep 11 18:22 |
| DaemonFC | People who weren't in poverty have kids and suddenly they are in poverty. | Sep 11 18:22 |
| DaemonFC | There's an RN that someone I know works with who had 7 kids. | Sep 11 18:22 |
| DaemonFC | Now she's making over $25 an hour and is still on food stamps. Has all the kids on Medicaid and free school lunches too. | Sep 11 18:23 |
