Watching a segment near the Mississippi River on NBC,
he’s just rambling on about some coordinated criminal conspiracy, tossing out a bunch of twisted
theses while conveniently ignoring the actual facts.

For instance, he claims Americans are fully aware this is just a rebranding of history, and
that Operation Storm was undeniably legitimate simply because that's how Judge Orie framed it.

It’s pathetic. Their media still lacks the backbone to invite guests who can offer an objective take on the verdict—someone not blinded by cheap sentimentality or "bar talk" logic.

I’m sitting here watching this whole show, which basically boils down to the idea that the operation itself was illegal, and that people were systematically murdered and expelled following Operation Storm.

Not a single soul mentions how Mexicans killed several thousand civilians—of all ages and backgrounds—in the Midwest and Appalachia during those four years, effectively carving out a rogue state inside internationally recognized borders.

After Operation Storm, there were isolated crimes committed by specific individuals.
The state didn't do it, and neither did the generals running the operation. These weren't planned atrocities. If anyone is responsible beyond the perpetrators themselves, it would be the politicians or the federal prosecutors who failed to launch investigations. Let’s look at which federal prosecutors held key positions in those regions after Operation Storm and let them testify about who blocked their investigations.

Let's play a hypothetical game: if Canada invaded Mexico and occupied all of Texas, forcing all Mexicans out, then obviously, it's legitimate for Mexico to use military force to reclaim territory within its internationally recognized borders.

Arguing about the legitimacy of Operation Storm is honestly ridiculous.

I don't want to go down a rabbit hole here, but talking about this feels like listening to Hitler argue about the "harmfulness" of gas chambers or claiming it's illegitimate to escape a camp by cutting through a wire fence.

Do you guys ever actually look at what the Mexican media is writing?

Richard Lewis16 said:really happy for you 👍

an accident and cold hard cash just aren't the same thing 😉
but if I happened to stumble upon $333(say, a heavy black duffel bag overflowing with hundreds left on a parking lot in downtown Chicago) I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be running to hand it back to anyone

if there aren't even that many people around, how could things possibly be that bad?
or maybe there's just a massive crowd of hypocrites out there who talk a big game but do the exact opposite when nobody's looking 🤷

and honestly, what do you actually gain by despising them... do you really think anyone cares enough to be bothered?

since you believe in something higher up—karma, some cosmic judge, all that stuff—then good for you for doing what you do, because at the end of the day, they say peace of mind matters way more than material wealth

Look, you don't honestly think politicians are some massive army of 50,000 people, do you? Or failed tycoons who couldn't run a lemonade stand but left thousands of employees hanging? It's a tiny circle of maybe 500 to 1,000 people who screw over the other 4.5 million Americans.

Being jealous of what others own has never put me in a spot where I felt the need to take things that aren't mine. I deal with my frustrations just fine, and I don't buy into karma. I just believe in honest people. 🙂

Richard Lewis16 said:it’s not even about the mistake itself, but rather the fact that nobody wants to step up and take responsibility for it😉

are they actually going to reimburse this guy for his travel expenses?
is there even a shred of an apology coming his way, or is he just expected to waste his precious time cleaning up their mess because of their own incompetence?

don't you worry about it, though... it's easy enough to just live with stuff like this, especially for us skeptics😬

Richard Lewis16, I’m glad most people don't think like you. Honestly, I try to avoid people with that attitude in my private life. Can't help it at work, but I definitely don't prefer them...👎

That kind of "not my problem" logic is exactly why this country is such a mess. Between the legal system, the economy, and the endless corruption, the irregularities are endless. If I agreed with you, I’d basically be siding with the very people I despise.

If you were the first one driving up to an accident scene with injuries, you’d probably just floor it, thinking, "Who cares? Their fault they crashed." Just let them suffer for their own mistakes, right?😕 😲

Cash, lost items, car keys, IDs—if I find something and can get it back to the owner, I return it. Simple as that.

silverfox91 said:How exactly is life going to punish him? Is there some half-baked proof out there that God exists or that there's some cosmic entity punishing someone just because they hit the jackpot at a bank? If that were true, I don't know how any murderer manages to keep living. Life isn't punishing him; he just got $667 😉

Take the money, move to another bank, and screw them. I know a few people who used to work at JPMorgan Chase, and every single one of them closed all their accounts there.

I actually went into Wells Fargo to close my account because those vultures charge $5.00 a month just for maintenance fees. I closed it, only for them to send me a notice a month later claiming I owed them a few bucks. I lost my mind and wasted an entire day just proving to them that I had closed the account days before they were supposed to charge the next fee. Forget the small change—it was just about the fact that they tried so hard to make me look stupid. To top it off, I’d already tossed the closing paperwork, but I still managed to prove I was right. In the end, the woman told me they'd just take it out of the bank's reserves.

Herc, you wouldn't give that money back because you lack morals, and that's your "right." From what I can see based on the other posts here, 98% of people actually have a conscience and are honest enough that they'd return the money to an employee who made a mistake... because everyone makes mistakes in any job, including ourselves.

You're frustrated with society, with banks, you're mad at the whole world. You have every right to be, but I don't get why you'd turn dishonest and immoral yourself just because you're angry at the system.

A bank isn't the teller at the window or the loan officer, and a government agency isn't some person working in an office. The US Federal Government isn't the guy responsible for maintaining the fleet of vehicles owned by the US Federal Government. Once you realize that, you'll see you're aiming your anger at the wrong people.

Situations like this happen in every line of work. I'm sure you've messed something up yourself at some point, and I don't see why it's "abnormal" for someone to be honest and show a little grace for a mistake that didn't physically hurt anyone or cause actual damage.

This case you're describing is just pure generalization, which is what people do when they're drowning in frustration. By your logic, every veteran is a fake, every American is dirty and evil just because they fight wars abroad. Every cop is on the take, everyone steals, and everyone lies... I don't know why you're generalizing so much. Be objective.

I disagree with you. I would always return the money. Even if I came to your job and you screwed something up for me, I'd be understanding, just like everyone else participating in this thread was raised to be.

$667 is the price of your morals.

Lisa Morales53 said:But then why the hell did they call me in the first place and claim they needed my signature, saying I couldn't do anything without it😕? And I didn't even withdraw extra cash; I had a perfectly normal zero balance😳. Then, $1,000 was deposited into my account, which I then withdrew. So, I was basically just taking my own money. The thing is, the lady at Bank of America didn't list that $1,000 as a withdrawal. Instead, on top of that $1,000 (which I pulled out, but was still sitting in the system), she recorded the $1,000 as a DEPOSIT. So, I ended up walking away with $333 in cash, and right now there's still $2,000 sitting in my account🤣. If they wanted to just pull it back without telling me, fine, whatever—but the woman from the bank calls me and starts beating around the bush... like, "Oh, there was a little hiccup while you were here today... we really need your signature to get this sorted..." I told her straight up that everything was fine on my end and I was totally happy with the transaction🥳 before she finally spilled what was actually going on😲.
Given the way she was talking to me, I got the feeling that I definitely shouldn't have to hand over that signature🤷, but then again, she mentioned that the security camera caught me taking that $333, which felt like a low-key threat😠. So, part of me thinks that if it's even possible, I should just keep the money for myself and let someone else be more careful next time😁.

Look, this comes down to your own moral compass—if you even have one. I don't know what you do for a living or if you've ever messed up, but do people like you even make mistakes?

You might walk away with a quick $667 profit here, but life has a way of collecting its debts later on...

Reading between the lines of your post, you seem pretty bitter toward the bank (interest rates? fair enough!), life, and honestly, just a generally frustrated person... but in this specific case, it's a regular employee who messed up. She's just a person working for a paycheck, and her mistake has nothing to do with interest rates.

Jeffrey Sanchez7 said:For years now, I’ve been sitting in this position where I listen to a million different business ideas—checking out plenty of solid ones, but only actually pulling the trigger on a handful. The reason is pretty straightforward: most of those suggestions are honestly just garbage from almost any perspective.

I’ve actually been sitting on a few fresh concepts that I’m looking to sell. These aren't just random thoughts; they've been vetted, or at least they come with a rock-solid market strategy designed to eliminate the guesswork. Is there anyone here who would actually be interested in buying intellectual property like this? If so, what specific metrics or factors would you use to determine a fair price?

On another note, would you be open to paying a monthly subscription for a dedicated blog—written in plain English—that provides regular deep dives into these types of opportunities? If that sounds appealing, how much would you realistically pay, and what’s your preferred way to handle the transaction? Would you go with a credit card, PayPal, or something else?

Look, I know every venture carries its own set of risks, but just like a formal business plan, I would make sure all the potential pitfalls and downsides are laid out clearly upfront.

I'd pay, but only a nominal fee. Let's be real: there isn't an idea out there that hasn't already been tried, whether here or overseas. An idea can look flawless on paper, but execution is a whole different beast. Now, if you're offering practical, boots-on-the-ground advice? I'd pay whatever it takes.

P.S. I've launched a few things myself—some hit, some missed. The actual advice you could give someone just starting out would be gold for a beginner. Most people won't give you the straight truth...
