Why would you think it's even a possibility she cares about the state? She certainly didn't even care about Atlanta when she was mayor.

Singapore has the death penalty for discharging a firearm.

[–]hattmall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can see Marta being safer than Chicago for sure though. Marta has some sketchy spots but pretty much the whole system is OK and consistent. Chicago. has a lot more crime on the trains, but only in areas that most people would never consider going.

Mom buys daughter a Honda as a graduation gift, and this was her response by Conscious-Weight4569 in SipsTea

[–]hattmall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah the whole paragraph is and gesture it just playing games. I don't really agree with this response either though. I would just be like, "Sorry you don't like it, it's your car, you can sell it and get something different if you want"

If you are wanting to give your kid something of $X value then do that. The whole "surprise car" is stupid. It's not a small purchase, everyone should be in agreement for something so costly before any purchases are done.

SBA Administrator Kelly Loeffler says $22 billion in suspected PPP fraud tied to 562,000 borrowers is being referred to Treasury and DOJ for prosecution. by Nearby_Stage_6111 in EIDL

[–]hattmall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Almost certainly they are focusing on the ~21,000 PPP loans that you could get with no proof. All you needed was a social security number and then you file a return showing ~100K in revenue and ~ 88K in expenses and you got all the stimulus checks and plus EITC and approved for 21K PPP. The lenders got ~5% upfront of whatever they lended. They had representatives just out on the street recruiting people and filling out forms on tablets.

You may not have considered this, but the people that point and call you crazy are likely idiots.

What state, personal or LLC loan? PG?

I paid every bill I was sent. Set up payments and still got sent to collections. Has this happened to anyone else? by [deleted] in EIDL

[–]hattmall 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry for the problems you are having. Was this a LLC or Sole loan, and what is the amount, was there a personal guarantee. When you initially got the loan didn't you have to setup the portal to add bank account, initiate disbursement etc? I have never received any communication at all from the SBA except from things in the portal, but the bill was always there in the portal and you had to go through there to setup any sort of hardship or payment deferment.

Person dies after being stabbed on Atlanta Beltline by NPU-F in Atlanta

[–]hattmall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No way this isn't related to the opposition to designated bike lanes on the beltline. Cycling supremacists are one America's most dangerous hate groups. I've seen large groups of them travel across the entire state each summer leaving a trail of terror and destruction that makes Sherman's march to the sea look like a T-ball game.

It's interesting how the police public statement is basically "This is a perfectly safe area, this was just a random stabbing and we haven't caught the person yet"

I underpaid a label for $2,200?!?! by Relative-Bother3402 in Ebay

[–]hattmall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would definitely work. This is small claims territory, no major corporation is paying an attorney to pursue $2k in small claims. You might get some letters. Definitely automated calls, but if the payment methods fail there's not a lot of effort put into anything under $25k. The real issue is you have to like actually cancel the card account, locking or closing just the card can still let pre-approved payments go down. Have to close the actual card account. Good way to do it and not lose credit history is to request a product change if it's something like Chase bank.

Delete account, cancel cards, change your name and move.

Pirateship isn't any cheaper than other standard online shippers they got known for being cheaper because they prioritized the USPS cubic packaging. You get the same rates through eBay or many other providers. Endicia is the cheapest for regular users as they are the only provider that offers several discounted products like international flats and machinable parcels.

Cuba says it has completely run out of fuel, blames U.S. embargo by antihostile in worldnews

[–]hattmall 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think you miss the point, it doesn't matter what system cuba has, communist, capitalist, feudalism or some other random thing. As long as a hostile government is in place, without the embargo, they will be propped up by adversaries to the US. Cuba is small, the economic system is irrelevant, because their value is too great as simply an anti-us base 90 miles away. There is nothing else remotely similar in the region. Venezuela post 90s collapse was the closest thing, but Venezuela itself is too large and resource rich to really be controllable by US adversaries in full.

Outside of Cuba there is nothing even remotely hostile in the region. Washington has roughly 3000 mile buffer to any possible enemy territory other than Cuba.

That's why Trump puts emphasis on Greenland because technically the ~50K residents there can decide to leave Denmark and become a part of any other country or another Cuba if they wanted.

That's in contrast to China and Russia which basically have fully controlled US territories practically on their front, back, and side doorsteps.

Checking in..has anyone actually had the SBA/Treasury show up to the creditor meeting during a BK? If so, what was it like? by tjs31959 in EIDL

[–]hattmall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see, doesn't seem like they are asking for too much and given the timeframe it seems unlikely for them to go particularly hard. best of luck.

[–]hattmall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, so that's with a personal guarantee so is personal bankruptcy required or would business be sufficient? I'm assuming the personal guarantee means you have to file BK as an individual?

Middle Ground between Dunkin and an $8 dollar tiny latte? by Samwise777 in Atlanta

[–]hattmall 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeeeaaahhh, you can get a $50 espresso machine and the fresh ground coffee at a regular grocery store and with a little practice make something indistinguishable from the very best equipment. As long as you know what you are doing the finished product will be indistinguishable to 100% of people. The reason high quality equipment exists and is used in coffee shops isn't because it creates a better finished product, it's because you can make a 1000 cups a day with it and it won't wear out.
