@adjusterjack puts it perfectly about wanting the money back - and to add - trying to recover as much of it as possible. Motives likely include leverage for legal maneuvering. Even when terms of an agreement may be clearly stated, it doesn't mean people will abide by what many may feel is...

We have COVID-19 mask mandate issues in my building. Regardless of whether the building is a co-op, condo or rental, nobody is likely to give you any firm opinion as to the legality of mask mandates until a court actually rules on such a case. I have heard the opinions of several landlord...

As others have mentioned, this is likely a fact specific case since probation terms are unknown to us and may be specific to your case. In New York, reckless driving is presumed for speeds that exceed 30 MPH above the speed limit. You were very close. Even assuming your probation officer...

Not surprising. It appears to be a larger carrier part of a major ISP. However, there are many fly by night companies that have been notorious for this in the space. Very happy to hear it was resolved and thanks for letting us know.

I don't blame the OP for wanting the time and effort required to enforce these agreements and probably deserves it and perhaps might receive some extra compensation via customer support. I'm not sure what went on here but all too often these delayed payment offers are little more than a scam...

Nigel - great question. If mere inspiration was protected, there would be no ability to create as we create based upon a product of our experiences. My general feeling on this issue can be expressed by the artist who named their work of art "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds". Anyone confused that...

All good answers. This has now happened near me a couple of times. Unfortunately , there is virtually no scenario I can see where it makes sense for you to expend further efforts to recover the money as your investment will likely exceed the $100-200 return, if that is what you charged. Best...

This is an understandable anxiety. In the past year I have been completing work related to technology management where so many human functions are replaced by machines, computers, robots, etc. and there is a question of what is the net overall loss - is it fewer jobs available or fewer of...

You've got me curious. I'm going to have to pull the case. I've always had a difficult time with some of these cases, especially pop songs that aren't especially complex, e.g. My Sweet Lord, etc.

While not the same cat, pretty remarkable survival story: Cat missing in Florida condo collapse found alive

This was my initial reaction - government being perceived as the deep pockets to compensate when the primary actor responsible cannot. The government was not a co-conspirator or involved in any way with the initiative by the perpetrator. The government happened to be just one of several...

Not knowing all the facts makes it difficult to comment on whether the failure and oversight should make them responsible, especially to this level.

Wow. Thanks for the article and had no idea that this was an animal rights advocate. Unfortunately , someone I met briefly who is friends with sevearl of my colleagues was confirmed found. Barring miracles of people returning from a vacation while being disconnected from the grid, it seems the...

The issue wouldn't be your dumping on city land, etc. It's more about what rights you may have as a result of another land owner's 'trespass' and the terrible publicity that a council would probably prefer to avoid. You can read a number of similar disputes here between neighbors, such as one...

A senior citizen who was hoping to save her cat from the Champlain Towers South condo being demolished in a control demolition, saw her petition denied. Woman's bid to save pet rejected before remaining condo razed Apparently firefighters couldn't save the cat and others weren't willing to...

I wasn't sure and was under the impression that he feels it should be considered illegal under existing law, not that the legislature should render this practice illegal. Regardless, we'll find out. :)

I'm truly very sorry and sympathetic to your plight. It's an awful feeling to be scammed and be left without the money. Thank you for kindly sharing all those resources which could possibly help others, hopefully searching online and finding it first and being forewarned. Unfortunately it is...

Here is a post by the Associated Press which specifically discusses the issue of businesses being able to ask proof of vaccination status. It's complicated and I've heard variations even with regard to what a co-op can require from its shareholders.

There are states that have specific restrictions on them, such as California below. Generally they are to be enforced in favor of the employee, so that anything unduly harsh is not enforceable. (Unfortunately I know this doesn't give employees peace of mind they need since no one wants to have...

There you go - that's what it could very well be and I have learned not to understimate what awful acts people are capable of performing. Could be a scam, e.g. "send me XXX bitcoin to this address / wallet and the intrusion will cease." Now if you're hearing this person repeating what you say...
