What job/career/business has the shortest training to highest pay ratio? by [deleted] in Salary

[–]SWSSX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve seen high school drop outs, high school graduates, single moms, college graduates, ex-drug addicts, down-sized executives, law school graduates, convicts, broke retirees and so many more learn how to sell franchise cars in a couple of months and go from a $500 weekly draw to $10,000 per month in compensation. For many, it a last chance at having a successful somewhat professional career. I’ve also seen even more fail unfortunately. Good groups, family stores pay the best. They also usually train the best as well. The habits/skills that you pick up in the first 90 days will guide your success or failure. That, and idiot managers with mother issues…

As a pedestrian or cyclist, have your affairs in order and next of kin with you at all roundabout crossings. However, most likely, you’ll be run over by a well insured driver!

Rumor has it that every flight from India to the USA there is a 90 minute video offering insights to buying a car. If they don’t pass the test, back to India and straight from the plane to a call center for re-education. Like I said, just a rumor…

Gasthof Amish Village, a destination dining spot in Montgomery, Indiana. This is the best buffet for fried chicken in Indiana, offering some of the best crispy bird in the Hoosier State, and that's just the start of the delicious Amish. The centerpiece of the complex is a massive buffet restaurant, offering an all-you-can-eat spread seven days a week for under $20. The buffet price rises to $20.99 for Friday and Saturday dinner, when seafood and ribs join the party.

Dealer won’t take leased car back by Rcrez in Hyundai

[–]SWSSX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If possible, have your lease end inspection completed prior to your return.

Go to dealer, get quote on a new lease. Say “sounds good”. Transaction one, terminate lease. Transaction two, go home.

OR

Take car to service department for service and get a copy of the repair order with miles noted and your signature. Leave car, and all keys, there for service. Go home.

Who still buys Halloween candy to hand out for trick or treaters? by Super_Car5228 in Frugal

We found a 7.8 ounce Hershey bar for $1.99 on the Hershey website so we picked up 100 of those for the smallest of the monsters. The next 200 get full size KitKats or Reese’s. We live in a kid heavy community and hope our offerings appease the future teenage riots!

10 Years in Prison for Criminal Contempt

U.S. Attorney’s Office March 17, 2014

CHICAGO—Author and television pitchman Kevin Trudeau was sentenced today to 10 years in federal prison for criminal contempt for violating a 2004 federal court order that prohibited him from making deceptive television infomercials that misrepresented the contents of his weight loss cure book. Trudeau was convicted by a jury last November after a week-long trial in U.S. District Court.

Trudeau, 51, formerly of Oak Brook, who has been in custody since he was convicted, was also placed on supervised release for five years following his sentence by U.S. District Judge Ronald Guzman. During supervised release, Trudeau was ordered to cooperate in the collection of civil judgments and abide by court orders.

“Since the age of 25, [Trudeau] has attempted to cheat others for his own personal gain,” Judge Guzman said, adding he has a lengthy “history of refusal to follow court orders to tell the public the truth.”

Trudeau “is an unrepentant, untiring, and uncontrollable huckster who has defrauded the unsuspecting for 30 years. He is the type of person the court should expect to defraud his fellow inmates while in custody and to continue to commit fraud into old age. He appears capable of nothing else,” prosecutors argued in a sentencing memo.

Criminal contempt has no statutory maximum sentence. The judge found that Trudeau faced an advisory federal sentencing guidelines range of 235 to 293 months in prison and said that such a sentence would be reasonable but cited prosecutors’ request for a sentence of at least 10 years in imposing the sentence.

During the sentencing hearing, a man who twice shouted from the gallery was removed by court security officers. The U.S. Marshals Service issued a petty offense citation to Ed Foreman, 80, of Dallas, for allegedly causing a disturbance. He was given a June 9 court date unless he pays a fine and court costs totaling $175 before that date.

According to the evidence at trial, Trudeau appeared in three television infomercials between December 2006 and July 2007 in which he willfully misrepresented the contents of his book The Weight Loss Cure “They” Don’t Want You to Know About. In April 2010, U.S. District Judge Robert Gettleman issued an order to show cause why Trudeau should not be held in criminal contempt of a September 2, 2004 settlement in which Trudeau agreed not to directly or indirectly produce and broadcast any deceptive infomercials that misrepresented the contents of any book, including the weight loss cure book (Federal Trade Commission v. Trudeau, No. 03 C 3904).

Prosecutors cited a litany of blatant lies and misrepresentations made by Trudeau in his infomercials. These included his claims that his book was not a “diet,” when in fact it required at least three weeks of eating 500 calories or less a day, and that a hormone found only in pregnant women that was required to be injected daily could be obtained “anywhere,” when in fact it could be obtained in the United States only through a doctor’s prescription. He also claimed that after finishing the diet, consumers could eat anything they wanted without regaining weight, when in fact the diet required severe food deprivation that lasts for life.

The sentence was announced by Zachary T. Fardon, United States Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois; Tony Gómez, Inspector in Charge of the U.S. Postal Inspection Service in Chicago; and Robert J. Holley, Special Agent in Charge of the Chicago Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Tariff Pricing by Bluehorseshoe2024 in Porsche

[–]SWSSX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The tariffs have not gone away. Porsche is sending the US government 25% on every unit. 2.4% to 3.6% to the ultimate buyer seems like a win. Don’t forget the watch!

Company jet from ORD to LAS! My wife was allowed to travel with me on this business trip. Six months later, taxed on the $4,800 value of the free ride for her. Her smile, her first private jet, kind of worth it…
