You dont have to be rich to do a bit of this actually

RIP Medical Debt is a charity (and therefore takes donations). They buy the rights to medical debt and then forgive them. So far they’ve forgiven over 1B in medical debt.

So a little ray of hope for someone out there today.

Okay but now I know what I want to do of I get rich?

Oliver then proceeded to detail how with $50 and knowledge of the law he was able to successfully apply online to create a debt buying company named “Central Asset Recovery Professionals,” or as Oliver put it, “CARP” named after “a bottom-feeding fish.”

After setting up a rudimentary website for CARP, the satirical, but still real company was offered a $15 million package of medical debt for $60,000.

Oliver explained that the debt was out of statute, which means it is the kind of debt that a collector can only continue to collect, but not sue the debtor for.

Then, instead of chasing down the 9,000 debtors in the debt package as a normal collection agency would, Oliver decided to stage the largest one-time giveaway in television history and work with the nonprofit RIP Medical Debt to forgive the $15 million with no consequences for the debtors.

The perfect video game pitch: Easy Flight Simulator ⊟

Not even a joke, this title got my attention immediately when I saw it in the weekly downloads press release. I had never considered how much I would want something like this, but: of course! Not to mention the pleasing Simple 2000 “the title just says what the game is” vibe.

Flight simulators are fun sometimes because they’re complicated, but just because it’s difficult in real life doesn’t mean it can’t be made more accessible or simpler in video game form!

I haven’t played Easy Flight Simulator to gauge the quality of the execution, but I cannot fault this concept.
