Dashcams matter. The Coalition Against Insurance Fraud says insurance fraud costs the U.S. about $308B a year. Louisiana showed in the “Operation Sideswipe” case, two New Orleans personal injury attorneys were convicted in 2026 in a staged-collision scheme, and the operation produced more than 50 convictions.
Evictions are not a means of rent collection. They are means to remove people who individually do not settle up their bills on time. In hopes that you can get a tenant in there that will pay you.
I’d like to see what alternative means the author would suggest? Seems to me that this article merely suggests that we should make it very difficult to get tenants removed. We have seen what these policies have created in New York City, Chicago and Detroit. They are not attractive investments. Money dries up and buildings just get foreclosed on and sit vacant. Do you think that will help
our situation?
🛑THE GRACE PERIOD HAS ENDED🛑
Hospitals: post your real prices and comply with federal law.
Patients deserve transparency. Hospitals that continue hiding prices will face consequences.
Pro-rollback crowd:
"Hogan hit 4-iron from where today's pros hit 7-iron."
The USGA studied this. The loft on a modern iron is ~2 clubs stronger than in 1950. The shaft is ~3 clubs longer.
They hit irons longer today, but according to the USGA, most, if not all, of that increase is because lofts are jacked and the shaft lengths are longer.
Hogan's "4-iron" is a modern-day 7-iron.
You shouldn’t have to disarm yourself in order to pick up your kids at school.
This bill could’ve been passed weeks ago but Senate “Leadership” decided it wasn’t a priority.
That’s why they’ve taken off for vacation. Only worked 2 days last week & zero days this week.
A man with no working truck convinced Wall Street he had built the next Tesla. His company hit $30 BILLION. All he did was push it down a hill with no engine.
> Trevor Milton founded Nikola in 2014, named after the same inventor as Tesla.
> The goal was to build hydrogen powered trucks that would make diesel obsolete. He had no trucks.
> In 2018 he released a promotional video called Nikola One In Motion. It showed a sleek semi truck accelerating smoothly down an open highway.
Investors went wild.
> What nobody knew was that the truck had no engine, no fuel cell, and no propulsion system of any kind.
> Milton's team towed it to the top of a hill, tilted the camera to hide the slope, and let it roll.
> He spent the next four years doing the same thing with words. On podcasts, television and social media.
> Investors were told Nikola could produce its own hydrogen. It could not. They were told the trucks were ready for production. They were not. They were told orders were flooding in. They weren't.
> In June 2020 Nikola went public. Within days the company was worth $30 BILLION, more than Ford.
> Milton's personal stake hit $7.3 BILLION overnight.
> A $32.5 MILLION ranch in Utah followed. A record for the state at the time.
> In September 2020 Hindenburg Research published a report calling Nikola "an intricate fraud" built on "an ocean of lies." Milton resigned within ten days.
> A federal jury convicted him of securities fraud and wire fraud in 2022. Sentenced to four years in prison the following year.
> He never went. He was free on $100 MILLION bail pending appeal.
> He and his wife donated $3.2 MILLION to Donald Trump's 2024 campaign.
> In March 2025 Trump gave him a full pardon. The pardon erased $168 MILLION in restitution to defrauded shareholders.
> Nikola filed for bankruptcy the following month, leaving thousands of investors with nothing.
The company never had a product. The only thing that was real was the $30 BILLION valuation, the $7 BILLION that landed in his pocket and the pardon that made sure none of it had to be returned.
@ijournal Plastics are heavier than air, correct? How did these plastics get there? I believe we are all a little bit worn out with “trust the science”.
In what other industry do we stifle innovation to protect legacy systems? It is dumb that the banks even have a say in it.
They need to update their current business models and compete. Instead, we just reward bad behavior with bailouts. Oh, if you get over leveraged, no problem we will just print a bunch of money. Create a massive amounts of inflation and you can all take bonuses. Sounds like a good plan with some really solid institutions. Good people.
