sounds to me like they are trying to incite violence. and then respond with more violence.

also, they know they can lie without consequence. they have a prepared speech smearing the victim before even looking at the facts. the media attention is short... so before things get too hot on this victim they move to something else

wow. sorry to hear about your ex's. can't believe one embezzled 100k without consequences. that's nuts

I fully believe social security will be worthless when I retire, and am saving for retirement outside that. but when I retire the planet will be a dessert wasteland with a few billionaires controlling the oasises. like every dystopian scifi movie

Wow. respect.

how old are you and how do you plan to support yourself now?

someone I know was in a similar position. after a brutal 6 months of searching they landed a job. thankfully they had savings and health insurance to tide them through...

in my field there are enough high quality journals that are published by societies and non profit publishers that we never need to publish with elsevier again.

but people still do!

Academics produce papers and give it to Elsevier for free. Academics referee the paper for free. Elsevier sells the papers back to Academics. This has been their business model for some time... but now they've found another way to monetize you. They sell your data.
