To their credit, they have sold Student Prime, which at least has some potential of serving an actual paying customer. On the very least, certain aspects do play well to transfer students ;)

I’d sure like to know what was going through their minds. They’re trying to tap a market that has trouble with having actual cash.

Mormons have great records.

Not necessarily. My paternal 7th great grandfather was the progenitor of a large and far-flung group of descendants, some of whom became Mormon in the years leading up to the Civil War.

As a result, a whole lot of Mormons have created records for him in Salt Lake City due to having posthumously baptized him, or as some may know it rather derogatorily, he's been "dead dunked" multiple times. None of the "records" are accurate. Some have him here in NC in the mid-1600's. No. Some have him still in Maryland in the 1800's. No again.

By my count there are seven conflicting records there. Anyone attempting to research this line who relies upon LDS documents will be one very confused individual.

Why not - the poor get special phone rates, electric rates, cable television rates, pay no federal income tax and actually get tax money sent to them, and in Jersey get their property taxes capped after a set amount - all at the expense of the “rich” who pick up the tab - and then get excoriated as “free-loaders” by the likes of Moodbat Jerry Brown of California should they complain.....

Our disabled vets deserve whatever we can provide them regardless of their age! So tired of the best getting the least.

If Amazon can hold down theft they’ve got a winner. ( Boxes on porches in high crime rate neighborhoods are ‘seductive’ to lowlifes.)

My late Father lived in a Retirement Community in a Condo I owned. His only income was Social Security.

He gets a call from the local Social Worker who tells him he can help him get additional Government Benefits if he qualifies.

The guy signs him up for Food Stamps. I find out when I was over there and saw the Letter he was supposed to sign and send back in.

The Benefit was for $15 Dollars a Month. Yes, $15.

After I got done laughing, I sent the Letter back telling them to cancel it. For the next year, he kept getting Letters telling him he was Eligible and asking why he isn’t using it.

The waste of money in Postage alone was ridiculous.

Unreal. My father passed away last December, I bet he could have qualified also for that $15 a month. I mean what can you spend that on? As my Father would have said on that, well I can get a RC cola and Moon Pie.
