I'll assume you never heard Homestead strike. Maybe you would have if he only built 2508 libraries. You see, when you have unlimited wealth you can also buy unlimited PR to whitewash the fact that you were once a mass murderer. No one should have unlimited wealth.

it should be illegal. That's what kings do. One person shouldn't have the power to shape the direction a society leads, that's the job of government. The fact that we let companies skirt antitrust law for generations then allow the heirs of those companies to dictate societal changes is disgusting. If they want to create a charitable trust let THE PEOPLE decide where that money goes and who's name goes on it.

Read up on what that scumbag Walton family does with their billions. They use CLATs to shelter their money from taxes.

The basic operation of a CLAT is as follows. The donor gives property to
a trust. The trust then pays the charity a certain amount each year for
a certain number of years. When the trust terminates, the property is
then transferred to the donor's heirs.

This is a modern kingdom. Not only has this scumbag family spent the last 30 years sending all of our manufacturing and trade secrets to communist China but they never had to pay a dime in taxes while they were selling out the U.S.A.

We are working with the manchester office. I am wondering if I can start going up the chain and start emailing peoples bosses to see If I can get an ETA on at least the next step.

Its hard becuase I know its a government job and there is no way someone could get fired for basically anything. So if I piss someone off they can basically blacklist me and I'll just be in limbo forever.

That’s interesting, sorry to hear that. It definitely felt slow to us but overall was probably less than 2 months from finishing the classes. The slowest part was always the fingerprinting.

I’m guessing they’re understaffed, because working at DCF sucks. What office are you working with?

We are waiting on a homestudy from DCF. We completed the classes last year in June. The case worker only talks to us once every few months. Its weird, I really don't think its suposed to take this long because the things we've submitted in the begining are about to expire (Physicals, Dog rabies documentation, etc...)
