I used to love going here, it was very nostalgic but the donuts, breakfast sandwiches, etc. were good.

Glad to hear it will still be donuts, at least. Luke's is pretty decent and it has the same sort of traditional vibe as the Whole Donut. The brightly colored donut places with the funny or punny names can be good too. But I like the "this is a simple place to get a donut or greasy breakfast sandwich" atmosphere more than the trendier "this is a place to get a whimsical treat" atmosphere.

I almost hate using the word conservative now because that isn’t even what they’re doing anymore. They claim to love the constitution yet they cherry-pick which amendments to protect.

And before anyone says that the left wants to ban firearms I will confidently say that NO mainstream democrat has even proposed banning all firearms and that’s a fact. They simply want common sense controls so violent criminals can’t have weapons of war and use them against citizens and the police (one would think a party that claims to be so pro-police would support this but we all saw how they really felt on January 6th)

The same can’t be said about so-called conservatives and their war on free speech, thought, and expression. It’s been like this for 50 years but now they’re just more brazen than ever.

Thank you. If the back up guardian set up a trust and the parent got an inheritance could the parent just say No, put it in the trust? Or could the inheritance go to the back up gaurdian to put it in there? Or does it gave to be the old sick person revisiting the lawyer to do this?

Certainly any inheritance that someone would want to go to either of those people should instead go into a special needs trust for their benefit.

A special needs trust is an irrevocable trust designed to hold assets for a beneficiary, allowing them to benefit from their needs-based state program AND benefit from their inheritance WITHOUT the state being able to recover from the inheritance.

The person who needs to do that type of planning is the person who plans on leaving an inheritance behind for someone on a needs-based program like Medicaid. They would set the terms of the trust while they’re alive, but it would stay empty until they’ve passed, at which point the inheritance would go to the beneficiary’s special needs trust, rather than the beneficiary as an individual.

It’s difficult to say what an attorney would charge for this work. Depending on what is needed in the planning costs would likely start in the low thousands. A consultation with a trusts and estates attorney should allow the attorney to give them a fee quote, and it’ll likely be a flat fee instead of hourly.

just sitting in the home depot parking lot and watching people try to fit large purchases into their car is pretty entertaining

Low income parent of adult disabled person who if they come into a little cash, whats the best way to put it in a trust or something so it could be available for the special needs person without the state grabbing it because parent and disabled kid have both been on state insurance and had to sign documents stating they would pay back if they came into money. And how much does the lawyer take. And what about inheritances, should it be mentioned to go directly to special trust so parents amount isnt taken before it can be transferred. Thanks . I know they need to go talk to someone but you said AMA. :)

Seeing enormous food prices will dissuade people from eating out and tank the industry. If we're to get rid of tipping, which I'm (mostly) in favor of, they should add labor costs to the bill. And I agree with it being optional, despite it being people's jobs, some do really go an extra mile for you and it would be nice for them to reap an unexpected reward.

Server wages should be raised to be somewhat commensurate to an average if what is typical after including tips, and then tipping should be fully abolished. Tipping is a perverse system that puts undue social pressure/burden on patrons and servers. It also makes it very difficult for servers to qualify for loans (cars, homes, etc.), since they don't have verifiable income, which this would solve.
