Happened a lot after Katrina. It’s not as if they should have done anything to prevent it happening again. /s

You’re right. It’s the sixth paragraph after the preface.

Probably one of the best book intros in English Literature.

[Dr. Sivana]

The intro in "Tale of Two Cities" is better known, but I agree as an intro "Bleak House" is better. The best, I believe is Jane Austin's "Pride and Prejudice".

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.

In one line, the subject matter and the tone of the book is set up perfectly. "Bleak House" is a phenomenal study of human nature, with even minor characters like Mrs. Jellyby and Skimpole being near caricatures, but actually very much like people we have all known.

America needs a purge and do-over at the Revolutionary War level. Trump can be our Washington. The bloody bastard Brits will be the DNC and treasonous Republicans.

[Trump Girl Kit Cat]

The dead will also be voting!!!

[P-Marlowe]

As an attorney I find the intro to Bleak House just a brilliant comment on the state of the judicial system. It hasn’t changed. Justice is not something the justice system serves. It does (thankfully) serve the legal profession well. 😎

Don’t worry. They will take it back. If you remove it from the account they will demand it back.

[Robert DeLong]

And that’s before they vote, they get another 2,400 after they vote.

I lived in Rockford, Illinois for 15 years, and frequently passed by an office building featuring the “Dodson Law Office”. I wondered if Esq. Dodson was descended from the evil but effective attorney in “Pickwick Papers” (of Dodson and Fogg), or if he even knew how his name was used in literature.

>>>Americans should be ashamed that the Congress voted to spend these trillions

What about the President, who proudly demanded his signature be on all of the checks?

[ldish]

I am on SS and my wife works and we filed a joint return.

Daughter is in college and is 22 and paid fed taxes and had separate return.

NONE OF US HAS RECEIVED SQUAT!

[ldish]

BTW Why is it all the dead vote for DEMS?

[Kickass Conservative]

Too bad the Casinos are closed. That way we could see where all the money ends up going.

This giveaway is the biggest Legalization of Fraud known by man.

[trebb]

Yep - someone didn’t execute the will/estate properly....maybe a money laundering scheme?

My grandmother had to return the social security check for her daughter when she died June 29. I guess it was the July check I suppose. From that moment on, I always thought they should not pay for following month but the past month so that if someone dies they don’t have to payback because it was the last check when they were alive.

Distribution can be fast or accurate, not both. It happens with every big program.

If it was to be done, this should have been used under the auspices of modified unemployment (Companies know who they laid off, with some provision for the self-employed).

Not a few folks are still working, and some are working a lot of overtime. Why should they get these checks?

[lepton]

His grandmother died in 2018 and still has an open checking account? Wonder if anyone has notified SS about her passing...

I’m guessing it was a joint account.

They’re still voting too if they live in a Democrat voting district.

It was an estate with trusts and LLC. Should have been easy. Siblings hated one another and two are really mean. Those two threatened the corporate trustee who had to hire an attorney to cover his behind. The accountant made a $400,000 error that had to be fought for. Everything took looong time to process due to complications- most of which originated with the siblings.
