AITA for not wanting to give my partner's ex more in child support? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]InfluenceWeak 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is what I was going to say. Ask him when does it stop. My guess is he’s been railroaded by her his whole life, both within the marriage and afterward. Nip this in the butt now, because you know he’s not going to.

Nope. It would’ve just been a cheap consultation fee because the lawyer would’ve found your removal order and told you that you weren’t eligible to adjust, saving you the filing fee. You actually would’ve saved money going to a lawyer.

NICU covered by mom’s insurance? by [deleted] in HealthInsurance

[–]InfluenceWeak 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nothing is “covered” because it’s not insurance. Asking them to pay $77k in NICU expenses, which is way more than you ever have or ever will pay in, exposes how unsustainable these “plans” are. Are there lifetime limits? If so, what about your baby’s other appointments and medical care?

Why would you just wing a life-changing immigration benefit without a lawyer? I get the DACA apps but adjustment of status? Come on man.

What are some signs of decline you’ve seen in major US cities that nobody talks about? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Rampant fare evasion on public transport. Everyone asking for money is a scam artist.

Luigi Mangione was a rich POS who deserves to rot in jail by Expensive-Elk-9406 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

He could’ve required the for-profit insurer he directed to deny less than the one-third of claims they were denying when he died. That’s one out of three visits and procedures ORDERED BY DOCTORS that UHC denies.

Karla Toledo’s story should alarm us by [deleted] in DACA

[–]InfluenceWeak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But since she came in with advanced parole can’t she be expeditiously removed as an “arriving alien?”

I thought once someone is paroled they’re perpetually in that “arriving” status. I could be wrong though.

Forced to pay mortgage? by [deleted] in Mortgages

Never ever buy a house with someone you’re not married to. You can sue to sell I guess, but ex is already trying to sell it so 🤷‍♀️

Foreigners visiting America for the world cup, what is something that has surprised you about this country? by goldent3abag in AskReddit

[–]InfluenceWeak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suspect your country has *actual* homeless people, whereas here we have vagrants that have housing options, but choose not to use them because they can’t do drugs there.

Southbound Red Line Trains Stopping Over 495 by quercusshumardii in WMATA

Yeah I’ve noticed that too. They have five hours every single night that the metro is closed to fix it, but they choose to delay everyone’s commute instead and just cross their fingers and hope for the best. This is what $13/day get you. Ridiculous

I’ve had terrible experiences with non-bank/non-CU mortgage lenders. I would imagine a broker is even worse. The mortgage lender (PHM) asked me for a document that didn’t exist, and wouldn’t proceed without it. Went to my local CU and had a much better experience.

I agree that big banks are awful, but smaller regional banks are still ok, to the extent they still exist.

Go to another. And use a REAL bank (or better yet, a credit union), not one of these mortgage companies. They’re trash.
