Actually most of these companies don’t do payday loans anymore thanks to Obama regulations. They do short-term installment loans now, and customers have to have relatively fair credit and a good monthly income
Never heard of them. When will some big names crack?
That’s right. When it hits their pocket books they’ll change their tune.
Please, a God, let it happen.
I’ll be sending them the same message. Thanks for the tip.

A HERO amongst the business class.
Next....
The NBA is next.
I’ve paid no attention to the NBA since the Bird-Johnson days.
Very nice.... especially since I predicted this scenario almost exactly on another thread earlier today. I bet there are meetings going on right now with a few other marketing departments where the general thinking is “we got get out of this mess and so we may as well do it and try to make hay while we are doing it.”
Larry & Magic.
LOL!
You really think the Belgians would do that?
I just told Budweiser they can keep their beer and their other products.
“You really think the Belgians would do that?”
They will in a heartbeat when and if their revenues drop as a consequence of Americans not buying Boosh Beer!

Now the PCFL.
