If the price of junk food that you don't need is going up in price, then don't complain about it, just stop buying it. You'll be better off in the long run and you'll save money during the process.

Had some good storms last night. Started my day today with a phone call from my buddy asking to borrow a fridge from my work. Turns out lightning struck the tree in front of his house, the strike exploded the roots, trenched his driveway to the lamppost, blew that apart, then followed the electrical line into his house. Blew his front porch lights, an outlet in the kitchen and fried his nice side by side fridge. The neighbor that saw it happen at 3AM lost a dryer and it blew out a window in his house. Debris from the yard and landscaping flew over 100'.
My phone continued to ring all day with tv and internet issues at our rentals. Tally so far: 3 TV's toast, 2 internet modems fried and 4 cable boxes smoked. I managed to get equipment in a dozen more houses to boot back up after a reset. Oh yea, and our elevator at the other location cooked it's batteries somehow.
What a day
And the wife got her debit card info stolen and some fraudulent charges showed up. Pretty odd that both of our debit cards were compromised within 24 hours of each other.

Breaking news: Boebert was a paid escort and had 2 abortions. If true, holy smokes...
Doubt it. Sounds like a smear campaign hit piece.

It's definately released as a smear campaign. We'll know in due course.
According to The Muckrakers PAC, IncLooks like they don't care if it's true or not, they are just trying to tank her campaign.The activists who helped submarine far-right wing representative Madison Cawthorn’s reelection efforts in North Carolina are setting their sites on performative Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert.
Insider reports that the American Muckrakers PAC, which was responsible for posting video of Cawthorn naked in bed and horsing around with another man, has launched the website fireboebert.com. They are searching for damning video, documents or photos that can be used to stop Republican Boebert from serving a second term in the U.S. Congress.

Not really, about the only place where we both usde our debit cards at the same place would be Amazon. Otherwise, we rarely use our cards at the same place.
Yeah, what a pain in the ass. Disputing the charges, canceling the card, going to the bank to get a new card, changing everything that the card is attached to for autopay stuff.
I'm thinking that I'm going to dedicate one credit card to use at POS at stores and stuff to try and cut down on the potential fraud of losing my debit card info. Seems to be a lot easier to dispute fraud charges with a credit card versus a debit card. The credit union has put holds on the pending funds in both mine and the wife's accounts until the charges clear. Then we have to call them back, dispute the charges again, then they give a 'provisional credit' back to you and forward the fraud report to their fraud department. The rep told me that the credits can be reversed if the fraud department doesn't agree that fraud occurred.
At least with a credit card, there aren't any funds that are held by the bank, just pending charges. And the few times I've had to dispute things with a credit card company, it was actually pretty easy. And then with using a credit card, I can just pay off the charges once a week so a balance doesn't accumulate, since the money would have been coming right out of my bank account anyway if I had been using my debit card.

Great point.
It sucks because I'm really careful where I use my debit card, I try and insulate myself against using it as much as possible. About the only place I actually use my physical card is at stores that don't take Google Pay. I almost never use it at gas stations since I have 2 special debit cards from 2 stations that insulates against getting my bank info and at the other stations I go to, I use their mobile app to activate the pump and pay right through the app, no physical payment method used at all. I'm just so confused where my info was stolen at.
It's a mystery! On a closely related topic I would love to know how spammers got my permanent Australia mobile number.
Same way they get financial info, everything is in an online database somewhere with all the various companies people do business with.It's a mystery! On a closely related topic I would love to know how spammers got my permanent Australia mobile number.
