Florida Attorney General Issues Subpoenas Against Russell Simmons’ RushCard, Other Prepaid Card Issuers, Over Hidden Fees

A little overdue I  think. Prepaid cards are convenient and the only form of “banking” many people have access to. The hidden/excessive fees associated to some of the cards has been known for a while now to those who use them. There are prepaid cards however that do not have as many fees and that is where doing some independent research on the ‘net comes in handy.

The news of the swelling of the Missouri River has been a featured story in the national news. It affects me personally because I live in an area bordering the river. I have spent the past two or so weeks volunteering filling sandbags. When I spotted this article, it brought the situation into a whole new light for me. This is a  heart wrenching story. Prayers to Pinhook, MO and everyone else hit by this event.

Alexander O’Neal-Criticize

One of the best shows on television is TV One’s “Unsung.” Each week the show focuses on a notable & legendary R&B or Rap artist. This week “Unsung” focused on Alexander O’Neal. If you are from my generation, you probably jammed hard to his music. Catch “Unsung” every Monday at 10e/9c. From his 1987 album Hearsay, this is “Criticize.”

I endorse the Consumers Union action but in the end the responsibility to monitor children’s access to social media and the internet resides with PARENTS.
