Written like e-filing is new in federal courts :lol: CM/ECF has been around for like 20 years.

Instead of continuing to throw darts at a board every 5 years, why don’t the insurance carriers just show their math on how they calculate premiums and we can target legislation towards the areas that are increasing premiums at a higher rate?

Hard pass on that.
One of the big hangups in Laura claims were that people couldn’t get shingles that matched their old shingles when their roof needed to be replaced. Insurers only wanted to pay for damaged parts and homeowner’s wanted to get roofs that didn’t look like shite. The policies were somewhat ambiguous as to whether getting matching shingles to the undamaged portions were covered under the policy. This looks like SF trying to make it very clear that you’re only getting matching shingles if you buy the matching coverage endorsement that you posted.

If you don't want high interest rates, don't be a high risk borrower.


But this isn’t actually the case when it comes to credit cards. The rates are attached to the card applied for rather than the specific borrower’s risk profile. I have an 800+ score, have never missed a payment, and am in a high tax bracket and I’d get the same CC rates as others if I applied for a low level card like CapOne Quicksilver. They’re not using interest as a function of risk with most of these cards.

I’m not saying I agree with capping interest rates, but I don’t think this argument holds water in the current CC environment.

I really like my traegar/blackstone combo
I don’t doubt that they’re facing opposition, but the idea that it wasn’t possible to tell this wasn’t the full file is dumb. All that file dump had was flight logs and a Rolodex. Any dolt with a law degree would be able to tell that a criminal conviction of that magnitude involved more than 2 exhibits just from what was admissible at trial much less what they had in their possession. It’s a pretty big cop out to act like they couldn’t have known this wasn’t everything.
The only substantive difference is that she’ll receive a W-2 instead of a 1099 now.

My fever got up to 103*. Definitely kicked me in the arse for a few days :lol:
You’d think people would’ve lost respect for big pharma after it was confirmed beyond any semblance of a doubt that they purposefully unleashed the opioid epidemic on us. Instead, it took a politicized virus for people to wake up to that racket.

Can you argue why the military has done to justify the amount of money currently being spent? They haven’t passed an audit in years so fiscal efficiency is obviously a concern.
They will likely respond by lowering credit limits which, honestly, this country needs. The concept of lending people money just to buy stupid shite they don’t need should die.
I don’t know if they did it officially or not, but you think we’d have heard something about a new one by now if it had any legs.

It’s funny reading that his America is the one of Barack Obama and NASA (literally sequentially) considering Obama is the one who largely defunded NASA :lol:

This is the only reason I can see for not releasing it. I don’t agree with it, but I see it. Epstein was a sick, evil frick so I could absolutely see him planting fake names just to take the entire world down with him if it came to it. He had to know, whether it was true or not, attaching someone’s name to him would destroy it once he was figured out.
I don’t know about bias, but you’d definitely look like a dork.
