This is half funny, half infuriating, and unsurprising. My flawed solution has been to leave the country. Maybe when I'm 65 I'll return, but it sounds like I shouldn't get my hopes up. I hope you get your double payment back.

Thanks. I am confident that the letter will work.

BAD BAD move. Now you. Are subject of taxes and reporting requirements that our homelanders refuse to acknowledges, or worse, cheer over. Welcome to FATCA/FBAR and CBT.

Are they still accepting hand written addresses for domestic mail in the US? I can no longer use hand written addresses for packages to US and I’m not sure about for letter mail.

Medicare has a stipulation that allows individual states to recoup their payments to you once you pass away. Not all states do this but Missouri does, or did. The can and do seize assets of your heirs to cover the costs they paid out in Medicare if you had a condition that caused them to payout for. Criminal. More so in that it is not reported upon my our exalted media.

Can’t use hand written labels at all, even if in block style writing. Must first be downloaded from the USPS website and printed.

All of this works very well until the electricity goes off. I read that there is a solar even every 150 years or so that can do that. And we are due!

I just went through a hurricane in Jamaica that took down the grid.

They don’t care.

Funny, we had a power outage here on Friday. First I recall in Japan that was not due to an earthquake or typhoon. Have no idea what caused it. A bit of both a humorous and disappointing situation, my 11 year went to turn on the TV to see the news to find out why we had no power.
