Properly understood, private property – whether it is in the form of land, wealth, possessions, or ideas – is an extension of the person. It guarantees his freedom to act, to express his will, and to exercise his rights under an equitable system of civil justice. Joseph Broadus
Professor of Law, George Mason University, 1997

New York is listed as the second most expensive city in the United States to live in, a mere one point under San Francisco. Rudimentary common sense argues against attracting chronic welfare mothers and children to a city in which life is tough, crime high, dope especially tempting as it is for those who seek escapism. It is surely Mayor Giuliani’s point a) that welfare can’t be unlimited, and b) that no compassionate purposes are served in attracting the indigent to a city where unemployment is higher than the national average and the cost of living as unattractive as the winter weather.

Never click on “unsubscribe” links in email that is spam – e.g. unsolicited email that you did not request.

Leave a comment

I get a ton of spam email. Some of the most notable ones are from the following where the corporations are incompetent and unable to verify an email address prior to creating an account. You should never click on any link in an email unless you are 100% sure that you know the sender and it has not been faked. 

I suspect that many of these are legit that someone were created by someone who didn’t know their own email address. They may be or may not be, there is no way to know.

Why shouldn’t you unsubscribe? Because you never know if the link you are clicking to “unsubscribe” is an actual unsubscribe link or a link to a zero-day exploit which will then compromise your device – your iPhone, Windows computer, Mac, Android device etc.

You should only hit the “spam” or “junk” button for any email that you didn’t subscribe to. Even if it could be a legit company, don’t risk it.

Here are some of the ones I get the most junk from:

oceanstatejoblot.com – continual receipts etc (email@emailoceanstatejoblot.com), webteam@virginmedia.com – continual bills from the UK, imports@email.pier1.com, harborfreight.comMidwayUSA@email.midwayusa.com, @groupon.com, dallasnews.com, TalbotsCustomerService@e.talbots.com, cargurus@mail.cargurus.com, petrescuers@email3.homeagain.com, Ashley.Sommers@eleadtrack.net, redlobsteremail@em.redlobster.com, nytimes@e.newyorktimes.com, tdelong@drivecoyledeals.com, MazdaofFortMyers@s1.eautodealerhub.com, dv8@email.dv8fashion.com, rvera@familypowersports.com, noreply+b65178c684193384@formstack.com, enroll@aiuniv.edu, rai@email4.camel.com, batonrouge@pigtailsandcrewcuts.com, blakely@drivecoyledeals.com, Chevrolet@delivery.chevrolet.com, argurus@mail.cargurus.com, JulieParker@drivecoyledeals.com, tdelong@drivecoyledeals.com

Credit Karma incompetence

Leave a comment

So someone fraudulently created an account at creditkarma.com using my email address.

  1. CreditKarma.com does NOT require email verification prior to creating an account and then starts spamming.
  2. There is no way to notify them of the error.
  3. CreditKarma “support” is incompetent: “We need your birth date in order for me to pull up the right account and assist you better. Please provide the needed information in order for us to proceed with the process. “. “please also provide a physical mailing address”.
  4. Given someone is using only my email address, none of my personal information will help them.

So, please beware of CreditKarma, they do not seem very competent.
