Imagine getting to the store and suddenly tomatoes are out of your price range.

Even if people do have money, it's useless. The country can't import much because you can't get dollars out to foreign sellers. The country can't sell bonds because they're blocked from participating in financial markets until they get out from under their IMF deal and, even when they do, they've basically leased their future to the Chinese in some weird currency swap that will end up doing more damage than good.

They may as well put a "for sale" sign on that country and turn off the lights.

> Biden’s lawyer made a statement that no classified documents were found.

Fair enough. How about "the FBI took for further review some materials and handwritten notes that appear to relate to his time as Vice President, but no documents with classified markings were found."

Is that better? I mean, that statement from Biden's lawyer was checked and was corroborated by at least one senior law enforcement official.

So does that mean the FBI was looking for handwritten notes to review? They knew Biden had handwritten notes and, rather than ask for them, decided to search for them?

Unbiased enough?

I think the decision had a lot to do with multiple bans in multiple counties in multiple states and countries that made it less profitable to produce styrofoam AND paper cups for stores that could only be a few miles apart. Kind of makes for a logistics headache

They are required by law to provide you with an itemized receipt of the damages.

>If the landlord keeps the security deposit to pay for damage, the landlord must provide an itemized statement of costs. The statement must include supporting documentation. The landlord may provide an estimate. If an estimate is provided, the landlord must notify the tenant (in writing) when the repairs have are complete. This notice should include final invoices for repairs. If the final cost is less than the amount of security deposit withheld, the landlord must return the excess to the tenant. The excess must be returned within 30 days after the repairs are complete. 

So they can't just claim a number. And when they provide an invoice - it should have receipts attached for the replacement carpet and installation. Not just what they say it cost - but an itemized cost.

Also - The landlord can only charge for physical damage beyond ordinary wear and tear. This is a common sense rule. For example, if the carpet is worn through proper usage, then this is ordinary wear and tear. If a rug is stained with ink, then this is not ordinary wear and tear. If there is no visible damage in photos, then they can't claim otherwise.

Finally, if the landlord withholds any part of the security deposit, the landlord must send to the tenant, by first class mail, to the tenant’s last known address, a written list of the damages the landlord claims, together with a statement of costs the landlord has actually spent to make the repairs. If the landlord fails to do this within 45 days after end of the lease, the landlord loses the right to keep any part of the security deposit for damages.

Back in the day, I would have suggested the Palace 9.

Now, depending on your career path, it's never a bad time to start a path to waiting tables and bartendering by getting some experience busing tables and being a bar back. Waiting tables in your teens and early 20s is way better than hourly minimum-wage employment

Do you know what's wrong with it? If it's something like the compressor you're better off saving the cost of the repair visit and just buying a new one.

Source: paid $75 to find out my compressor was bad and would cost more to repair than replace.

If you have insurance, check your insurer's website for doctors in network. If you don't and you're paying cash, just find a doctor specializing in internal medicine online and make an appointment. Have your doctor send over your file in advance of the appointment.

It is a bit fishy that they don't seem to care about whether or not a doctor accepts insurance or if a doctor is in their network, or really anything other than "I need my pills!"

If it's legit and insurance isn't a factor, then finding a doctor who will diagnose and prescribe a prescription based on a referral from their doctor is pretty simple - esp. if they're paying cash.

Oh sweet child. Find a coffee shop. The county isn't going to do shit.
