What's up today (bullchiting) thread.

How about you go to the corporation that employs the plow company, and state your case. The company might even have a simple form to file and they'll just pay for the repairs.

The answer is always no unless you ask.

 

Horkin is right You can always ask

 

You can try...losing battle though...if you can even find someone to take your case.
Same when a government owned vehicle crashes into you...your insurance pays.

I read further in that article. Looks like in injury cases, then there's the open door for a case.

 

Sun was out today. Warm enough to melt the ice on the tar, so I went out (wife drove) to go sign my income taxes. The good news is I didn't have to pay in, and that I have enough taken out so next year looks good. I don't understand how some retired folks don't have to file income taxes. Even when they don't have to pay, I would have assumed that they at least have to file. I follow the rules on taxes, nothing to claim so it is fairly obvious that I am not trying to hide anything. One of the reasons I have my taxes professionally done by a well known tax service.
Anyway, it is always nice to have them done and out of the way.

 

Yup, still an uphill battle though.
If it were easy to sue the government, every joe shmoe looking for his next handout would do it, taxes would be 100% and government still broke...not a good idea.

 

Ummmm….

At more that 22 trillion is debt, I'd say its broke!

 

I would contact the municipality and see if it was one of their plows. Where I live I’ve had my mailbox taken off the post by the town plow. The first time they sent a crew out and they replaced. A couple weeks ago they knocked it off again and I wasn’t going to wait so I just had to reattach it to the post with a $5 base.

 

It’s not easy to like this one, and I’m curious as to why there was no recourse for the family?

I just read the other posts and I believe counties and states have liability insurance, or they are self insured. Seems totally unfair. I feel for that family.

 

For those that don't have any income besides SS, or make very minimal $$ on top of SS, the law says they don't have to file Federal ($$ amount depends on if single or married). Those that aren't retired also have a $$ threshold before they have to file. Of course if they have taxes taken out, then it would be to their advantage to file and get a return.

 

I'm talking local, not federal...

 

And that's about all you'll get out of me on this discussion before it goes down that wrong railroad track!

 

Yes, it's looming....

 

Chest freezer? .........Oh!

And I was wondering why the heck they put their TV into the book shelves when they had that nice white entertainment center right there!
