Man Legally Changes His Name To Beezow Doo-Doo Zopittybop Bop-Bop - Family Diplomacy | A Collaborative Law Firm

A bullet to the knee for the employee who skimped on this guy's guac seems like a rational response to me. Shooting him in the head would have been an overreaction.

In general it's not great to go around pointing guns at people but I think the world would be an overall better place if everyone who took sefies in public had a healthy fear that it could lead to them getting shot.

A payday loan is a short-term loan for a small amount, typically $500 or less, which the borrower will repay when he gets his next paycheck. At least that's the idea. The California Department of Justice website says, "The average annual percentage rate for payday loans is 372%. This is a much higher rate than most other loans or credit cards. Payday lenders often don’t consider whether you can repay the loan – because they are able to just cash your check or access your checking account. This means you may not have enough money left to pay for other expenses, forcing you to take out another loan." I get the feeling the payday lenders would like to be able to raise the APR to 5000%.

I guess that's good, but I have questions. Like if there's protection, why can they charge ridiculous rates? And what does the industry want? It's already highway robbery. And how are the conservative justices in favor of any regulations?
