AB 478 continues
I was catching up on the Pioneer Loan Center blog when I read the item about why Babs has been able to push this bill through.
They are trying to protect our military and their families, a commendable idea, but totally useless, because Congress already dealt with the problem, and federal law trumps state law.
It seems that the Nevada State Legislature doesn’t have enough toadies to research any bill they decide to enact.
I’m quite certain that in the case of the section referring to the military, someone read and old article on how some other state had done this, and rather than spend a few minutes searching online for military interest limits, they proved once again that they are incapable of original thought, and simply took someone else’s idea, and ran with it.
Heaven forbid, they should research anything they propose. This and a general lack of common sense are among the reasons that our legal system is such a mess.
Did you know that, while we are forced to wait for an Attorney General’s opinion on so many things, the opinion given is just that, merely an opinion, that carries no more actual weight in court than the opinion of the average street person.
On an entirely different subject. It seems that the Pioneer Loan Pawnshop took in a fake Rolex, Submariner.
This link will take you to some pictures and a short piece on how to spot a fake on their website.
If I had been taken like that, I’m not sure I’d admit it.
Two men, one with Texas ID, have taken at least 7 shops here in town with these fakes, and are probably still at large.
In a world filled with gold plate, gold filled, completely fake, low carat stamped 14k, and faux watches being advertised all over the net and in thousands of unsolicited emails, people in that line of work would be up to date on such things.
Such is the price of carelessness.
