Some of the problem back then were the direction givers. Lots of people couldn’t read a map and assumed you couldn’t, either, so you’d get:

‘Drive south out of town for about 15 minutes until you come to where the old church used to be, then turn left at the second dirt road (not the gravel one). Keep going past where the general store used to be on your right, and look for the spot where Becky usually plants yellow flowers. The flowers won’t be in bloom yet, but keep going until you see a field with a goat. Not the friendly brown goat, but the angry grey goat that looks at you funny. Turn left and look for the yard with 8 white geese. We’re not that one – we’re the house with 6 geese and 2 ducks. If you pass the big rock with a dick drawn on it, you’ve gone too far.’

‘Dude, I can read a map. Just give me your address…’

‘No, this is easier. So, before your turn-off, there’s a fruit stand with an old guy playing guitar, but only on Saturdays. If it’s Sunday, he’ll be in church, and there might be a cow there instead…’

‘Please, I’m begging you, what’s your address?’

The guy who got brain worms by eating roadkill isn’t afraid of germs?!? No way.

They should be illegal. The literal only difference between these ‘services’ and the mob is they typically don’t break your knees.

But that’s not the only despicable thing about the mafia’s racket.

These people squeeze the last blood from people who often become homeless anyhow; whereas if landlords had souls, many people could at least keep their housing and not be so vulnerable to predators.

It wouldn’t surprise me if McConnell is in those files. That would explain his inexplicable protection of trump after he’d lost in 2020 and fomented an insurrection.

I couldn’t make sense of it at the time – he was handed a way to prevent trump running again on a silver platter, and there didn’t seem to be a reason not to since he was already on the way out.

And now thinking about it, ew. I need a shower.

Fuck this paedophile. He was bad enough before, when his quite close relationship with Epstein wasn’t confirmed. I hope he contracts acute lead poisoning.

I wouldn't be surprised if Miller also directed the decision to pardon all J6-ers since it fits a little too perfectly into his turn-ICE-into-Trump's-militia strategy.

100% agree. Also, trump never gives pardons away for free. He normally charges at least a couple of million each. No way it was his idea to pardon a bunch of poors.

Yeah, they’ve been talking about this for years. This is not a surprise. I was linking to articles – both here on Lemmy and back in the day on Reddit – pointing this out years ago, and especially before the election when the talk was about both candidates being the same on Gaza. Trump/Kushner’s plan was full speed genocide so they could turn Gaza into a Trump-based resort.

Roger Stone.

It’s absolutely insane how much Bargain Bin Penguin has ratfucked society for the past 50+ years. And he’s still doing it.

That’s all fine because she’s soft and purrs at you when you don’t feel good.

Wallace and Ladmo was a regional kid's show (Phoenix, Arizona) in the 60s to early 80s that did meta comedy in front of a live studio primary school audience. So underrated.

Annual reminder: you may have unclaimed funds that are being held by your state (US) or other government.

There are many reasons you might have unclaimed funds: abandoned accounts, unclaimed deposits, uncashed checks, misspelled names, estate funds, incorrect addresses, misplaced inheritance and trusts, etc, and your government is required to hold your property until you claim it.

They will not seek you out, and most people are completely unaware they may have lost funds or property being held by the state.

Every state in the US and most governments have an official website where you can check whether you have unclaimed property and submit a claim. There are typically no fees, and you shouldn’t need an attorney or solicitor to claim them.

Just search ‘[my state] or [my country] unclaimed property’ (or ‘biens non réclamés’)

Make sure you’re at the official site for your government and not one of the many scam sites trying to get a cut by doing this for you. The official sites are typically easy and should not require a 3rd party. There should be no extra fees.

If you’re in the US, check every state you’ve lived in. Moving state is one of the major reasons this happens, and your unclaimed funds will not move to a new state with you.

e: Here’s my previous year’s thread on this, with more discussion. This isn’t sovcit bullshit. It’s real.

Also note that you’re unlikely to find life-changing amounts this way. Most people report a few dollars to a few thousand. Large amounts motivate lawyers to seek you out.

e2: I wonder how much this could change a government’s budget if enough people started claiming these funds at once? Would that basically do what the run on banks did? The money is hypothetically there, but it’s not really there at scale.

 

Pack one for poor Claudia. My fingers were slippery with alcohol after I dipped her for cleaning, and now she’s gone. Several years of faithful service. She’ll be missed. :(

 

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting was dissolved Monday by its board of directors, ending its 58 years as the primary funder for PBS, NPR and local TV and radio stations.

The board of CPB, which was created by Congress to oversee the federal government’s investments in public broadcasting, didn’t have much choice. Trump and Republicans in Congress last year stripped the organization of its $1.1 billion in federal funding, which represented the full amount it was set to receive over two years.

Trump’s White House claimed NPR and PBS shouldn’t get federal money because they produce “woke propaganda.” But both are reputable news sources, and the reality is Trump simply wants to shut them down because they don’t report on him in flattering ways. Public radio stations are also a lifeline to rural communities, where plenty of Trump’s supporters are now being hurt by the loss in services.

The effort to defund CPB was led by Office of Management and Budget director Russ Vought, who has been downright gleeful about haphazardly slashing billions from federal programs.

In a statement, CPB board members said the combination of lost federal funding and sustained political attacks “made it impossible” for it to continue operating.

“What has happened to public media is devastating,” said Ruby Calvert, chair of CPB’s Board of Directors. “After nearly six decades of innovative, educational public television and radio service, Congress eliminated all funding for CPB, leaving the Board with no way to continue the organization or support the public media system that depends on it.”

Patricia Harrison, the president and CEO of CPB, said public media still remains “essential” to a healthy democracy.

“Our hope is that future leaders and generations will recognize its value, defend its independence, and continue the work of ensuring that trustworthy, educational, and community-centered media remains accessible to all Americans,” she said.
