DaemonFC[m]schestowitz: Only 600,000 tests in the whole country today.Aug 18 00:36
DaemonFC[m]It was 850,000 last Monday.Aug 18 00:36
DaemonFC[m]Surprise....Only 38,000 cases.Aug 18 00:37
DaemonFC[m]You just get rid of 30% of the tests and there you go 10,000 less cases. Aug 18 00:37
schestowitzwho needs to stop covid anyway?Aug 18 00:37
schestowitzit's just "impeachment hoax"Aug 18 00:38
DaemonFC[m]They don't want to know so they're cutting testing and then having the fake news report that it's dying down.Aug 18 00:38

schestowitzDaemonFC[m]: credit reportAug 18 01:49
schestowitz=debt historyAug 18 01:50
schestowitzdebt prospectsAug 18 01:50
schestowitzand hardly as positive as that soundsAug 18 01:50
DaemonFC[m]Yeah, a lot of good their model did with me.Aug 18 01:50
DaemonFC[m]Told them I had a 1.5% chance of going bust in the next 5 years.Aug 18 01:51
DaemonFC[m]schestowitz: About the only thing it does seem to do is tell them how to stay away from people who owe everyone and don't ever pay their bills.Aug 18 01:51
DaemonFC[m]It's not a good predictive model of risk at higher score levels. It just means someone knows how to get higher scores and open lots of cards.Aug 18 01:52
DaemonFC[m]Eventually something bad will happen to them and then they'll only have the cards to turn to for money.Aug 18 01:52
DaemonFC[m]That's another chance to make money. Most won't qualify for Chapter 7 bankruptcy.Aug 18 01:53
DaemonFC[m]Even if they do file under reorganization, you'll make more than you loaned to them, most likely.Aug 18 01:54
DaemonFC[m]schestowitz: Instead of fighting off each individual debtor, the bankruptcy code only presumes abuse if you file sooner than 90 days after racking up a debt.Aug 18 01:55
DaemonFC[m]Most lawyers recommend waiting about 6 months though.Aug 18 01:55
DaemonFC[m]A creditor can open an adversarial motion after 90 days, but the burden of proof is on them.Aug 18 01:56
DaemonFC[m]So if it's egregious and they figure you have assets, they might. Seems to only happen in about 1 in 50 bankruptcies though.Aug 18 01:56
DaemonFC[m]Just because they file an AP doesn't mean it's going anywhere.Aug 18 01:57
DaemonFC[m]If they open one the court can declare that it was frivolous or abusive on their part and then they owe you compensation for your cost to fight them off.Aug 18 01:57
DaemonFC[m]I found the GDP bankruptcy. Apparently, the guy running it, Michael Pratt, was being sued in his individual capacity by 21 Jane Does.Aug 18 01:59
DaemonFC[m]They filed an AP and the judge ruled that he was abusing the bankruptcy code and dismissed the whole case.Aug 18 01:59
DaemonFC[m]They should have been able to prevent him from fleeing the country.Aug 18 02:03
DaemonFC[m]He had been selling all his stuff and transferring the assets to New Zealand for months.Aug 18 02:03
DaemonFC[m]Seems New Zealand is protecting this guy from extradition even though he acquired US citizenship and is a child pornographer. Aug 18 02:04

schestowitznz has weaponsAug 18 02:18
DaemonFC[m]He tried to file bankruptcy against his lawyers.Aug 18 02:19
DaemonFC[m]About $213,000 in unpaid legal bills.Aug 18 02:20

schestowitzgreed of law firmsAug 18 02:21
DaemonFC[m]he paid his bankruptcy lawyer $4,400. That was a total waste.Aug 18 02:21
schestowitzthey should charge $20 an hourAug 18 02:21
DaemonFC[m]They demand payment in cash up front.Aug 18 02:21
DaemonFC[m]schestowitz: Oh, there's a flat fee on Chapter 7 most of the time, but it may or may not include representation if someone files an AP.Aug 18 02:21
DaemonFC[m]Most of the lower priced lawyers specify you owe them hourly for fighting off APs if anyone files one.Aug 18 02:22

DaemonFC[m]No, he paid them $9,400 schestowitz Aug 18 02:23
DaemonFC[m]$5,000 retainer and then another $4,400.Aug 18 02:23
DaemonFC[m]They got him for $9,400 to file some papers and about $500 to file it and the bankruptcy was tossed out of court.Aug 18 02:23
DaemonFC[m]So all the bankruptcy did was make $10,000 more of his own money disappear.Aug 18 02:24
schestowitzwhy does this case matter to us??Aug 18 02:25

DaemonFC[m]schestowitz: New Zealand did brag.Aug 18 02:27
DaemonFC[m]Then they let in all those billionaires from countries that were in the process of being overwhelmed with it.Aug 18 02:27
DaemonFC[m]I wonder if that had anything to do with it.Aug 18 02:27

DaemonFC[m]What do you think about this big government push for flu shots?Aug 18 02:28
DaemonFC[m]The CDC ordered 9.2 million doses for the uninsured this year.Aug 18 02:28
schestowitzand I think the people get confidence, seeing many diners indoorsAug 18 02:28
DaemonFC[m]Normally it orders 500,000.Aug 18 02:28
schestowitzyou get discount only if you eat inAug 18 02:28
DaemonFC[m]The media is hammering on about getting the flu shot.Aug 18 02:28
schestowitzflu shots are effectiveAug 18 02:29
schestowitzunlike that crap they push using media FUD for covid-19Aug 18 02:29
DaemonFC[m]Do you suspect that the flu season will really be that bad given that there's nobody letting Americans come back and forth all that much?Aug 18 02:29
schestowitzcan the flu shot have any indirect effects on boost for covid-19 immunity? Doubt itAug 18 02:29
DaemonFC[m]Also, with the COVID-19 mitigations, for whatever that's worth.Aug 18 02:29
schestowitzmaybe it can awaken the immune system somewhatAug 18 02:29
DaemonFC[m]My mom always skips her flu shot.Aug 18 02:30
DaemonFC[m]Says it causes Alzheimer's.Aug 18 02:30

DaemonFC[m]schestowitz: Pelosi has incentive to make Americans miserable and pissed off so they boil over.Aug 18 02:41
DaemonFC[m]Who is going to get the blame? Trump.Aug 18 02:41
DaemonFC[m]If she can dial it up right before the election she can move the needle maybe.Aug 18 02:41
DaemonFC[m]More people blame him than Democrats because typically people blame the President and reward the opposing party when things are bad in an election year.Aug 18 02:42

DaemonFC[m]schestowitz: In every election I'm aware of, the worse the economy was going into the election, the more the incumbent president's party suffered in the election.Aug 18 02:43
DaemonFC[m]Bad economy is the only sure way to end a presidency.Aug 18 02:43
DaemonFC[m]"not so very positive to say"Aug 18 02:45
DaemonFC[m]Did you mean "things to say"?Aug 18 02:45

DaemonFC[m]Other than that, it looks okay.Aug 18 02:49
schestowitz[02:45] <DaemonFC[m]> Did you mean "things to say"?Aug 18 02:50
schestowitzyeah, I noticed thatAug 18 02:50
DaemonFC[m]schestowitz: There's only two reasons why testing would go down. Aug 18 02:50
DaemonFC[m]Either fewer people are getting so sick that they need medical attention -or- the states are deliberately rationing tests to fake lower numbers.Aug 18 02:50
DaemonFC[m]The number of positives has gone up in Illinois, as well as the percentage, on the same (roughly) number of tests in the past two weeks.Aug 18 02:51
schestowitzthanks, fixed Aug 18 02:52
schestowitzyou caught 2-3 things I missedAug 18 02:52
DaemonFC[m]So I don't believe that the numbers are going down dramatically and rapidly in 4-5 states, all Republican governors, who don't even have a mask law.Aug 18 02:52
DaemonFC[m]It's test rationing to fake people out.Aug 18 02:52
DaemonFC[m]Is it going to increase the spread? That brings us to another great talking point.Aug 18 02:53
DaemonFC[m]The news said today that half the tests are so backlogged that by the time they come back they are of no possible use in trying to contain the virus.Aug 18 02:53
schestowitz[02:53] <DaemonFC[m]> Is it going to increase the spread? That brings us to another great talking point.Aug 18 02:54
schestowitzyes, because people who are carriers without realising itAug 18 02:54
DaemonFC[m]If you're contagious for about 2 weeks after symptoms begin and you get a test and it takes that test 11 days to come back....Aug 18 02:54
schestowitzlike stopping all HIV testingAug 18 02:54
schestowitzthat would obviously help it spread widelyAug 18 02:54
DaemonFC[m]It does nothing for contact tracers if there even are any in your state.Aug 18 02:54
schestowitzthose are uselessAug 18 02:54
schestowitzthey MIGHT work when the cases are very fewAug 18 02:55
schestowitzlike tracking one carrier who entered your airportAug 18 02:55
DaemonFC[m]Yeah, HIV testing only serves to keep a lid over it to an extent.Aug 18 02:55
schestowitzand even then it's hard to know who caught it and who did notAug 18 02:55
schestowitzlike, what?Aug 18 02:55
DaemonFC[m]We're still dealing with a scary number of people who don't know they have HIV and don't want to know.Aug 18 02:55
schestowitzyou're going to contact every train passenger?Aug 18 02:55
schestowitzand then test all those passengers? Aug 18 02:55
schestowitzor force them all to stay home for a month?Aug 18 02:55
DaemonFC[m]That's never going to work.Aug 18 02:56
DaemonFC[m]And in New Jersey, they found that about half the people they talk to just hang up the phone on them.Aug 18 02:56
DaemonFC[m]This is the only time in my life I'll say this, so listen.Aug 18 02:56
DaemonFC[m]Do what Kentucky does.Aug 18 02:56
DaemonFC[m]They don't want to sign a quarantine, put them on monitored two week house arrest.Aug 18 02:57
DaemonFC[m]Kentucky has been acting more aggressively than Tennessee and has probably saved hundreds of lives because their quarantine isn't a suggestion.Aug 18 02:58
schestowitz[02:56] <DaemonFC[m]> This is the only time in my life I'll say this, so listen.Aug 18 02:58
schestowitzYou make it sounds like some pearls of wisdomAug 18 02:59
DaemonFC[m]Well, normally you don't say do what Kentucky is doing.Aug 18 02:59
DaemonFC[m]About anything, really.Aug 18 02:59
DaemonFC[m]Anyway, mom is skeptical when I use words and phrases she doesn't know.Aug 18 02:59

DaemonFC[m]Microsoft still dumps its products (charging too little or nothing) when it suits them, even though it cannot efficiently maintain such a practice.Aug 18 04:47
