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.
Okay but now I know what I want to do of I get rich?
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.
Donating $10 buys $1,000 of medical debt. This is real, it works, and we’ve done it ourselves. You can too.
if anyone was concerned it seems real!

Okay, this looks delicious and easy so I wrote it down including metric conversions:
Chocolate Beet Cake from 1966
- 15oz (425g) can of pickled beets
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1 + ½ cups sugar
- vanilla
- 3 eggs
- 2 cups plain flour
- 1/3 cup cocoa
- pinch salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda (bicarb soda)
Blend the can of pickled beets, including the juice.
Whisk the oil, sugar, vanilla and eggs together vigorously.
Add the blended beets.
Add the flour, cocoa, salt and baking soda (bicarb soda) to wet ingredients.
Place in a bundt tin and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 50 minutes.
Ganache:
½ a cup cream
4oz (113g) chocolate (dark?)
Melt cream and chocolate together over very low heat, just until the chocolate melts and everything is smooth. Spread over the cake.
Beets are very sweet and add their own natural sugars into a recipe, that already has a lot of sugar. Also a lot of moisture in the pickled beets to keep it a moist cake.
the Indiana White Meal
yes, that’s supposed to be a sandwich
Hoosiers: “Behold, a sandwich!”
this is just what Indiana is like
I fail to see the issue with the patty being the size and shape of a map in a fantasy novel
You gotta roll initiative against that thing and if you lose it eats you.
This cauliflower and mushroom casserole is delicious and easy to make! Pair with chicken, fish or a side salad!
There are only 9 restaurants in the United States that are certified by the Kobe Beef Association in Japan to carry real Kobe Beef. Every other restaurant with the word “Kobe” in their menu is misleading their customers and serving a knock-off product. – WTF Fun Facts
