The people at the Church will help you.

I have never seen more Christian bashing than I see on this site. Now I find it shocking that people are telling this woman who need money to pay her rent to contact St. Vincent's or other churches for help.

Sorry. Had to vent.

ACA tax return fines.

http://money.cnn.com/2015/02/05/news/economy/obamacare-tax-refund/index.html?iid=Lead

Deana Ard wants her tax refund as soon as possible. She says she files her return in mid-January every year and receives her refund within two weeks.

This year, Ard said her refund is taking longer -- and she's blaming Obamacare.
Ard, who went without health insurance last year, doesn't mind having to pay a $160 Obamacare penalty as part of her 2014 tax return. But she says her $7,124 refund is on hold, and the IRS won't tell her why.=snip=

The fine is only $160.00 out of $7,124.00 tax refund

Anybody else going with the fine over getting health insurance?

Driver less taxis and buses.

http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2015/01/27/how-ubers-autonomous-cars-will-destroy-10-million-jobs-and-reshape-the-economy-by-2025-lyft-google-zack-kanter/

I have spent quite a bit of time lately thinking about autonomous cars, and I wanted to summarize my current thoughts and predictions. Most people – experts included – seem to think that the transition to driver less vehicles will come slowly over the coming few decades, and that large hurdles exist for widespread adoption. I believe that this is significant underestimation. Autonomous cars will be commonplace by 2025 and have a near monopoly by 2030, and the sweeping change they bring will eclipse every other innovation our society has experienced.

They will cause unprecedented job loss and a fundamental restructuring of our economy, solve large portions of our environmental problems, prevent tens of thousands of deaths per year, save millions of hours with increased productivity, and create entire new industries that we cannot even imagine from our current vantage point. <snip>

Thousands of small electric driver less taxis that you contact and pay with a app. I've been telling young people for years that technology is killing middle class jobs and it's only going to get worst.
