Read the wiki, this has been discussed ad nauseum, summer-dude. There's a welfare program, and there's a retirement/paid disability program. Chris is receiving the second. Chris is dipping into the program where you pay into for your retirement benifits. It's supposed to be for widows and children, but a lot of people have argued for a very long time that it's being abused.
Not that he deserves anything, but if Bob earned it and the money's there, then it's legal for him to withdraw it. I could go on for years about how our social net is exploited by shit ass users yet unavailable to people who truly deserve a hand up to get back on their feet. For example, if you are female and have not had kids, in many states you cannot get any kind of assistance no matter how fucked you are. Getting disability if your body doesn't work takes at least 3 years of lawyers, no matter how sick you are, and if you don't have someone to pay your way in the interim, you are going to die. As far as retirees, I think one reason people tend to join the AARP when they hit fifty here is for the collective bargaining power and access to group insurance etc. It's a giant fucking mess and I hope I can work until I die because otherwise I'm going to be in a broken down van by the creek.
I understand that she makes him cosign her loans and shit. If his name were not on them, then it would be too bad, you cannot legally inherit debt unless your name is also on the loan/mortgage/etc documents. But since she makes him sign, that fucks him.
I’m guessing that at some point collection agencies are going to get much more aggressive about collecting Barb’s (then posthumous) credit card debt because he cosigns, and since Chris doesn’t have a wage to garnish and the money has to come from somewhere, Tugboat or I don’t know what is the only option for payment.
The biggest thing in jeopardy is the house.
Well this won't be a shit show or anything. Bahahaha. All set for major sperging!
Let the Great Blockening begin anew.
Couldn't Chris plea that he was corerced into co signing and thus get out of inheriting nothing but debt from Barb? Generally speaking of you're pressured into signing something under threat of abuse or suicide (given Barb's history of doing that to get the boys to do what she wants) doesn't that mean the contracts are null and void?
imagine knowing nothing about Chris and reading that goddamn bio holy shit
Rip, I estimate he’ll have another Soft Exile Saga in seven days.
It seems so! Chris just has a natural talent to anger people.
Manifesto or possibly the long anticipated killing spree
