GA Folks. Car buying today. Gone are the days of walking in, playing the wait game while everything moves at a snail's pace. Phone and internet with preapproved financing are the way to negotiate now. Show up with payment, sign the papers and drive away.

Steak n cheese, ice tea.

the last two for my wife, this was the way.

On my truck, I was leaving a grocery store and saw a dude loading groceries into it. I said "Nice truck". He said He needs to sell it because of a divorce and only wanted the payoff. The payoff was $10k less than NADA so I got it.

CG, the practice of law is getting harder as there is not the same collegiality as there was when I started in 1978. I still enjoy being in the courtroom, though.

I do not practice constitutional law. Most of what I do now involves businesses, real estate, some personal injury work, and some trust and estate work. It keeps me busy. I’ll hit 50 years in DC in ‘28, 50 years in Virginia in ‘29. I’ve only been admitted in Maryland since 2000. Sometimes I think I’ll retire. But I have to hit 50 in DC and VA first (or die trying!).

If you had to pick the Top 5 in DC via firm or personal, who would you pick for your own family?

As a multi generational caregiver, it was getting worse before c19, but degrading even faster since. Somebody will have to explain how massive private, for profit, insurance companies seem to have preference over "The People" is well beyond my pay grade. Boomers are aging out so it will reach crisis level soon. All generations after will face even bigger walls. Just do not get it, and how it got this way in the USA.

FWIW, not a fan of single payer, and not a fan of all private seems the solution is something else but neither party in their current incarnations will go against the money and lobbyist to actually do what is best for "The People"

If you want to discuss privately, how can I email you?

I think media has it all wrong as usual

To me boomers are more like 38' to 58', especially in the USA

Previous generation
World War I
Spanish Flu
Great Depression
Dust Bowl
World War II

Wanted to spare their kids all the crud they went through so were a bit soft on them. In the USA I think you go to born but not developed. A kid say born in 38' in the USA would be too young to remember World War II but would benefit from having parents in the previous generation that would have spoiled them inadvertently.

It would depend on what my issues were. I am not sure I’d go with a national or multi-national firm for anything over a well respected local firm.

This is not something a law firm can resolve, it’s for the legislature.

See previous response. The legislatures of the states and the congress are the ones who must change lobbying laws. Some of the lobbying practices are no longer allowed, but there are many loopholes yet to be closed.

People can talk all they want, but the only way to make changes is with the vote.

ETA:

I decided to make this post more readable

That is the problem, we are a 3 party system

Democrat
Republican
Apathetic

National media and lobbyist distract all 3 while the first two blame the other side and the 3rd opts out entirely.

White beans with ham and smoked pork loin diced in them. I also added all of the required, or traditional seasonings. began soaking yesterday, put it on at 6:30 am.

Notice I didn't say 6:30 am, in the morning, like those retards do? 6:30 am is always in the morning.

I have been blessed to have wise legal counsel over the years.


I have tremendous respect and gratitude for all of them.

Integrity first, other things after that.

You remind me of them.
