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.

full fucking offense but schools should automatically pass all students right now idgaf about nerd feelings like there's a rule that if a disaster falls on the school like a fire or an earthquake then all the students pass well i think a global pandemic that threatens and destroys the physical emotional mental and financial aspects of people's lives kinda fucking counts as a disaster

Hermione Granger would be so traumatised with the situation. I mean they had a serial killer coming into the school pretty much every single year and exams kept happening, and now for one virus they’d be closing...

My friend just sent this to me and said "you will appreciate this" and she was VERY correct

Christians: We can still hear its voice Hebrew language: QUIT TELLING EVERYONE I’M DEAD!

Some ppl act like voting defines them 100% and if they can’t vote for who they want they’re gonna just let Trump win, this is still happening…. FUN

Also, I’m begging Americans, please learn the difference between the primary and the general election. You can still vote for Bernie in the former
