Obviously he needs to sue the bat soup dude who started us down this path.

Nobody told grandpa to get a variable rate mortgage because the rona. He did that shit all on his own.

Wait. Rates were at an all time low and he got a variable rate loan? Maybe he does have a case. Against himself

Its the only way that the mortgage could be going up unplanned. The interest rate is x + fed rate. He got greedy and burned himself.

Wow, and I thought I was regarded when I lost 700K in the market listening to the wrong suggestions instead of my gut feeling to buy Google at IPO.

Ooof. My bookkeeper offered to get me and my dad in to bitcoin (like walk us through how to set it up) right after the pizza for bitcoin transaction. šŸ˜… We didn't do it. I often wonder how life would be if we had.

Same. I'd like to think I would be island hopping on a 45ft catamaran sailboat never caring about anything but my next beer and babe.

This is not a joke. It is not the fault of the bat soup dude. The bat should be held accountable. That bat intentionally flew around when he was infected, knowing full well that he would be soupā€™d that night. That bat kamikazeā€™d himself in the manā€™s ā€œsoup batā€ trap which proves malicious intent. Too bad the police didnā€™t do their job sooner and catch him before the act. Whatā€™s worse is our ā€œsuper heroā€ spy - the bat man dark knight - who we sent to protect us from such attacks failed miserably.

That's what caused his issue. He signed up for them to be able to change his interest rate. That's not wise.

Heā€™s not suing any innocent guy who enjoys bat soup, heā€™ll be suing that one Chinese chap that fucked a pangolin.

Ahh the infamous bat soup that was made right next to the largest coronavirus lab in the world..

I'm not discounting the possibility, but do consider that the OG one (SARS) also came from wet markets, as well as the 2013 avian flu. China was blasted for allowing wet markets, and so they banned wet markets but secretly started allowing them when the public outcry died down and then we have another one with covid. Also remember that coronaviruses account for 15% of the common cold so it was really just a matter of time.

No I think he should go talk to a lawyer. I want to see the lawyer respond, so take video.
