You're right, it is a problem that extends beyond just the indigent. In particularly the elderly are less likely to be familiar with and use smart phones and some of the other recent tech advances. They tend to feel more comfortable with the tech they used when they were younger. I recall trying...

There is nothing you can do before your son dies or becomes incapable to care for the children that will guarantee you'd get temporary or permanent custody of them. Your son may express his preference in the will, a durable power of attorney, or some other document, which may help you, but in...

That's what I see private parking lots around here starting to use. A popular one here has QR codes on the signs for each space. You scan the QR code which registers the time you started parking, and then enter the license plate number and payment info for the amount of time you want. Then the...

My city still uses physical parking meters but now augmented with the ability to take credit/debit cards for payment in addition to using coins. The meters even have little solar panels on the top to power them. But my city is also one that, like a few other Western big cities (started, I think...

One of the problems I've observed, even with myself, is that most drivers are terrible at estimating their speed while behind the wheel. After getting my car engine and electronics package upgraded due to factory recall (which really was a customer service move to provide free upgrades as...

Then hopefully that carrier will be hitting retirement age soon. It sounds like he/she no longer enjoys the job (if he or she ever did) and will probably bolt the job the minute he or she hits retirement eligibility. Until then, keep documenting the mail problems and encourage neighbors to do...

Apparently (based on Foamback's response) NYC is different from every other city in which I've lived. In every place I've lived there is no grace period whatsoever. If you've used your hour (or whatever the time was) you've overstayed your spot and may be given a ticket the instant the time...

Have you ever actually talked to the carriers that handle your route about the problem? It seems to me you are talking to everyone but the people actually delivering the mail and who are responsible for which apartment box the mail goes in. For example, in my building I often get the mail of the...

The problem is that once it filed Chapter 7 bankruptcy the bankruptcy code determines the priority of payment. A Chapter 7 bankruptcy for a business is basically just an organized sale of assets to pay creditors in the priority set out in the bankruptcy code. You would have had to file a proof...

It's amazing to me how many people think that running a business is easy and that they and just about anyone else are capable of doing it. Starting up your own business involves a lot of work (a lot more than a 40 work week at a desk job), considerable risk since there is no guarantee the...

Correct, that's the list of crimes that have no statute of limitations (SOL) in Colorado. But unless the DA can link Kessinger as a party to the murder itself, any other crime she'd be charged with out of this incident would have a SOL, perhaps as short as three years, assuming a felony charge...

The longest period for a Chapter 13 plan is 60 months. But if you can pay off the entire debt before that, the court may enter an order for a shorter plan. If you can pay all your debts in less than three years you might be able to negotiate payment arrangements with each of your creditors that...

I think the OP is considering the "case" as including both of them. And in the investigation phase, the police case would be about seeking out evidence and building a case against everyone thought to be involved. But when it goes to the DA and the court, there is a separate case against each...

The civil claim would be for wrongful death. Under Colorado law, in the first year after the death, only the spouse of the victim may sue for wrongful death. If there is no spouse, then the children of the deceased may file the action in that first year instead. After the first year, who may sue...

Of course it's the job of the courts to ensure that agencies follow the laws set for them by Congress. That's never been in dispute. I don't know how closely every federal agency follows the APA, but at the IRS we had a separate review process to make sure the APA requirements were met. It was...

The real win here isn't really providing money to Amazon customers for past purchases, especially since the damages would vary from one buyer to another and would be speculative, but rather forcing Amazon to change its practices of recommending the deal that makes it the most money to something...

The Chevron standard is, and always has been, a decision that only applied to the deference give to interpretations of federal law by federal agencies. The states are not bound by that decision in how their own state agency decisions are interpreted. They may instead apply their own rules as to...

I'd have have to see the post and what this person said to have any idea of whether the person might have a shot at winning a lawsuit, but just from what you stated here, it'd be a real long shot. If you made false statements of fact about that person, he/she may have a good defamation claim...

From what I see from the Illinois Revenue Department, the form is one that is completed by the seller and filed with the state (preferably electronically). I don't know if a copy of the form is required to be given to the buyer or if the dealer is just deciding to do that itself. The copy should...

Actually, the government does have that right. When there is a limited resource, to provide fair access to it to those interested in participating in it, the government may need to restrain the overuse of that resource by a few high producers. Getting good data is part of the process of...
