Tea Party Cheers For American Credit Downgrade

[anunitu]

This is kinda cool. Watched a story about a couple that were being forclosed on by Bank of America,even though they had NO morgage,place was paid for in cash. They went to court to stop this action and won. The bank was told to pay their court costs($3,000), but didn't pay. Couple sued to forclose on the bank and did so..funny as hell to see the video of them pulling up to the bank with a foreclosuer team and the sheriff.

Awesome anunitu! Would this be the one?

Tables Turn: Deputies and movers show up at bank to seize property for homeowner

well - it was the attorney that actually went after the bank - lol
in a way, that's even more ironic
it's a damn shame that the end result wasn't more painful for the bank

I suppose and yet I doubt that 3,000 bucks is any problem for a banking institution of that size. I mean what else would you have had them folks do? Back in the late 90's early 2000's I got into flipping a couple homes that at the time I paid cash for, that is I bought one fixed it up then sold it took the money and then bought the second. I profited off of both nicely but what would I have done if when I purchased a home I got a letter that because of bank stupidity I was being foreclosed on? I would have first hired an attorney and then I'd have gone after them somebitches! Of course if I could get away with it I would skip the attorney and just go to the bank and shot the bank manager dead. :wink

you know the couple had a sense of satisfaction   :P

but, lawyers fighting bankers is always going to affect us in some small way
those guys never lose money

There are some other nice tricks to get income distribution back to normal, but that would be over the top for an assembly forum ;-)

Contrary to a politician, a lawyer or a CEO of a multinational company. An assembler programmer must understand logic.
When you program in assembler, you cannot talk your way out. You must understand the problem, as you must tell the machine exactly what to do. If it fails, is your fault, you do not go around and blame the machine. Even if the documentation is wrong, you make a work around (as blaming will not get you closer to finish your program).

The politicians and the Directors of corporations base their actions on appearance of value. Instead of trying to comprehend and solve a problem, a politician tries to make it appear that he is doing something, meanwhile planning who to blame in case the strategy do not work. It will be funny to see a programmer blaming the computer when their program crashes. Yet is the norm with politicians. Do nothing, appear you are doing something, and when it fails (and it will, since you are not trying to solve the problem, but jus appear to be doing it) blame someone else.

Corporations base their power on appearance of value and buying off politicians. There are many examples in which the best technology did not succeed. What is important in capitalism is appearance of value, not value. Corporations know it. They also know that politicians need money to get elected to their cushy jobs. And thus buy them off. Sometimes legally, sometimes illegally. But at the end is a buy off (someone that pays 30k for a dinner with a politician, wants something in return. And someone that bring a 100 of their employees each paying 30k per plate, really want something from the politician. Yet, this is completely legal.

Lawyers base their income on abundance of confusing laws. And is no surprise that the majority of politicians are lawyers.

Democracy fatal flaw is that the vote of an idiot have the same weight as the vote of a wise. Thus the only way to avoid stupid decisions in a democracy is to eliminate the idiots (hopefully by teaching them how to stop being an idiot).

NEW YORK TIMES POLL: TEA PARTY LESS POPULAR THAN MUSLIMS, ATHEISTS, 21 OTHER GROUPS

I love it! :bg

"The Tea Party ranks lower than any of the 23 other groups we asked about — lower than both Republicans and Democrats. It is even less popular than much maligned groups like "atheists" and "Muslims." Interestingly, one group that approaches it in unpopularity is the Christian Right."
