11 Laws You Could Be Breaking Without Knowing It
America has more laws on the books [& more people in jail] than in any other nation...
Seriously? Fibbing about
the weather is a crime? This and other little-known legal traps await the
unwary.
You’re an honest, upstanding citizen. You pay taxes. You obey
traffic signals. You don’t even jaywalk.
But there are federal and state laws that you may be breaking
without even realizing it.
See if you’re guilty of violating any of these laws that follow.
Some can carry fines or even jail time.
Gambling
No, you don’t have a roulette wheel in your house. But if you
play a friendly game of poker or other gambling games — even at home — you may
well be breaking the law in some states.
Notes the website HomePokerGames:
“Some states explicitly allow home poker games, some states
explicitly prohibit them, and some states don’t have a stated policy towards
them (which means they are illegal by default). About half of all states allow
‘social games.'”
Your best bet when gambling at home is to keep the stakes low
and make sure everyone is there for social reasons, according to
HomePokerGames, which offers more guidance and resources. The effect of the
game on neighbors, whether it is advertised and the number of players involved
are other factors that can draw attention to a home game.
2. Hosting a movie night
Do you know that dense wording about copyrights that flashes on
the screen when you play a DVD? It’s important.
One thing it says is that if you play the film, television show
or other recording in public, you’re violating copyright laws.
That means if you play the video for your neighborhood group,
co-workers or swim club, you could face fines of up to $150,000 and other
penalties — even if you show it in your backyard where others can see it.
If you show a film outside your home, do it safely. The Motion Picture Licensing Corp. explains the rules
and issues licenses that allow sharing a recording with others.
3. Sharing your Netflix password
You may be surprised to learn that sharing your password for
Netflix, Hulu, HBO Now and similar services was deemed a violation of federal law in
2016. Regardless, some bigger services, including Netflix, previously have
taken a relaxed attitude about password sharing.
That may be changing, though,
as competition among companies intensifies. Recently, Netflix announced
it’s cracking down on password sharing, and it
plans to charge customers in some countries (not the U.S., at least for now)
more to share their accounts.
Wired magazine gives several options,
including using a password manager, for safely sharing passwords.
Companies’ rules vary. To be sure you are on the right side of
the law, read the terms and conditions on your streaming service’s website
— here are Netflix’s, for
example.

POST SCRIPT
10 Steps to Take Immediately When SHTF
Every emergency response organization in the world, whether it
be military, police, fire departments or the Red Cross, has written contingency plans that detail
what to do when everything goes wrong. There’s a good reason for that; it’s
because our brains tend to stop functioning at that time, as adrenalin floods
our bloodstream as part of the “fight or flight” response.
That’s how we end up with people running out of a burning
building, rescuing their parakeet, while forgetting their child or hiding their
wallet in their boat that’s sinking. They’re just not thinking.
A written plan is different. That plan can be written out when
there is time to think things through calmly and thoroughly. We can go back,
taking a look at something over again, to make sure we didn’t miss it. We have
the luxury of time to weigh the pros and cons of different options, ultimately
deciding what will work best for us in pour particular situation...

Uses for Borax
Borax (also known as sodium borate) is a naturally-occurring
mineral found in soil, plants, and even our own bodies. When I was growing up,
my mom used it as a laundry booster, which is what most people use it for. In
my twenties, I learned to use it as an ingredient in homemade laundry
detergent. Then in my thirties, I was surprised to discover over 30 other
things you can do with borax!
Granted, most of these uses have nothing to do with survival.
But what I love about versatile items like vinegar, baking soda, and borax is
they eliminate the need to store lots of cleaning supplies.
One four-pound box can be used to clean almost anything around
the house and it takes up very little space, leaving you room to store more
important things, like food. That's why I recommend adding borax to your
survival supplies...

Health Ranger shops at a dollar store to reveal inflation, prepping strategies
Hyperinflation has begun in Germany, with food prices spiking up
to 50 percent today. Hyperinflation is coming to America as well, and food
prices are estimated to be on track to double this year.
Over
the weekend, I went shopping at a "dollar" store in Texas to find out
if bargain shopping is a viable strategy for prepping and covering basic needs
at a lower cost.

We live in a Nanny State where our masters create so many laws in order to subjicate the natives; AND, the fines generated by courts & bureaucrats add more cash to their coffers!
I can think of some laws I's like to break regarding the socialists/communists infecting our government!
Does anyone know if Joe Biden realizes he's a lawbreaker?
