Some of you may have access to my notes on the Farm Bill which I created for my upper division class on Farming and Agriculture. I have them backed up on flash drives in my apartment, on my old laptop (really old, needs to be recycled), and my newish laptop (bought 2014).
I might have uploaded the Farm Bill notes to a course website, and by then, Google was backing up all our computer interactions.
If you have somehow gained access to any and all of my class notes, powerpoints, and teaching materials, especially my Statistics courses, I ask that you credit me for the powerpoints and course materials. Creating them took a lot of work. Not citing me is like wage theft.
If I do get healthier, and when and if I untangle the mess that certain people have made of my finances and health care, I would like to use those PowerPoint for an Introductory Statistics textbook. Perhaps with Thompson punlishing.
You are stealing from me. In small ways and large. You accuse me of promoting products for gain, of being bribed, of working for the CIA. No. I get my Social Security Disability and help from family plus govt. benefits.
You made it difficult for me to deposit my Social Security checks, and you interfere with my phone and Internet so that I cannot apply for in-home care, food stamps, and housing assistance, all benefits that the Federal government and the State of Minnesota provide.
I am a New Deal Democrat. I believe that our tax dollars, and the money that I paid into the Social Security insurance program should be used to help poor and disabled people with health care, housing assistance, and pay for food for individuals and families.
When you make it difficult for me to apply for government benefits, you make my life very difficult, and you go against my fundamental political beliefs.
I have handwritten notes on all of the phone calls I made in 2018 and 2019, trying to get help with cleaning, trying to get help with food stamps or housing assistance.
As I begin this Hellscape again,this real life horror movie, I will not only write down date,time of day and who I called, I will also record the phone calls. But I will always ask the person on the phone if it is okay if I record the call. Which you did not do. Fourth Amendment.
@threadreaderapp If you are not too busy, could you please unroll.
