Just crowdsource answers from the sub. It'll be fun. Like mad libs. You can credit r/maine in the acknowledgments and post a pdf for us.

Snowmobile trails often exist due to the generosity of private landowners whose land they cross. You'll probably be fine, but there's always the possibility that you could lose access to your land.

This is correct. They're not the billing department of your healthcare provider, they're a debt collector. They have no idea what specific services you received that led to the debt, all they know is that it exists and that they own it. You should want your provider to not provide your medical history to a random 3rd party.

You can ask for proof of the debt (which is not necessarily an itemized list of costs) and verification that they are legally entitled to collect it. If they cannot provide that then they cannot collect. You can offer to settle for a lesser amount. You can ignore it and hope they don't bring you to court. Medical debt sometimes doesn't affect your credit rating as of this past July although I'm not up to speed on the specifics of that.

So let them invest in index funds. Less than one percent of Americans are active traders. Active trading isn't necessary for financial security, and the thing people have issue with is "insider trading" (used colloquially) like members of congress buying stock in specific American chip manufacturers before they vote to give the industry a subsidy.

Plus members of congress get a pension and lifetime health insurance, in addition to a generous salary while in office. You're either making your argument without knowing how members of congress are compensated or you're being disingenuous.

Couple things. The two perspectives ("this is a great company" vs "I just listed") seems like you're trying to pretend you're a neutral consumer of the product but you did so incompetently. I don't know anything about baby formula so maybe the name makes sense but it sounds to me like a chinese seller on Amazon with the super long item name trying to hit a bunch of keywords. Foodgie sounds like a chinese company trying to come up with a name not already in use as well - thats just how I perceive it. When I think Maine-made product I don't associate that with buying it on Amazon, so the Amazon link rather than the company website or something is suspicious. "Give it a look I just listed" isn't quite proper grammar so it makes me think the post is by an esl speaker which is common in scams.

Hope this helps.
