All of small-town Indiana is like that. I lived in one of the smaller communities for 10 years and every other week there was some huge meth bust going on. A couple of houses caught fire down the street and we were told it was meth-related. Hell one of the girls I went to school with, a pretty and intelligent career-minded cheerleader back in the day, ended up getting arrested for cooking meth in her house with her kids at home, fucking idiot.

It’s horrific how much violence humans inflict on other species out of our pure selfishness. This sentient animal lived in loneliness for 45 years because some people wanted to make money and keep ourselves entertained. 45 years of forced captivity in stead of a family and the whole ocean she could have travelled in. This really needs to stop. We really need to be better.

>While paying 18.9% interest back to you, right?

Damn, that should be a law! Like how when you put power back into the grid via solar or such, and the power company has to pay you at the same rate they charge you for it.

If your Credit Card is in negative balance, then the credit card company should legally have to pay the same interest they charge on it.

Edit: After further reflection, they'd just probably cut you a check the second your account hits negative. Wishful thinking though.

I've seen this. My husband is Mexican, I am white. Had the house appraised twice over a 2 year period for reasons. The one where I was home alone was a good appraisal. The one where my husband was also home was a good $100k under value. Market was going crazy the last 2 years but my house only increased in value by $35k?

The guy had a chilly attitude toward as well, that the first guy did not have.
