Relative got a $500 check from US Treasury and a shocking letter full of lies signed by Trump and ending with "May God bless you". Basically a pre-electoral bribe. News reports say they're sending almost a million of these. Full text in alt below. (I told him to cash it quick before it bounces.)
![Dear [name],
For years, the Biden Administration overcharged you to fund the operation of HealthCare.gov. That money belongs to hard-working Americans, not the Government, and now, I am returning it to you!
With this Historic Action, my Administration is taking the surplus funds that accumulated from the Obamacare ''Premium Tax" and issuing a one-time $500 REFUND to Americans who use the HealthCare.gov platform to purchase their health insurance, but who do not receive Taxpayer Subsidies to help pay for their Coverage. You have paid into this flawed System, and now you are finally getting something back.
Healthcare Dollars should benefit Patients, not Insurance Companies or Government Bureaucrats. Since returning to office, I have fought to lower Healthcare Costs, increase Accountability, and Put Patients First. Through TrumpRx, we are delivering massive discounts on Household Prescription Drugs, and my Most-Favored-Nation Pricing Agreements have already saved Americans more than 1 Billion Dollars on much-needed Medications. We also secured an unprecedented 50 Billion Dollar investment to transform Rural Healthcare, expanded access to Health Saving Accounts for millions of people on Obamacare, and restored Pnce Transparency, all while roofing out the Waste, Fraud, and abuse across our Healthcare System.
I am proud to return your money to you, and I will never stop fighting to put the American People FIRST, restore Affordability, protect your hard-earned money, and lower the Cost of Healthcare.
May God bless you, and may He continue to bless the United States of America!
Sincerely,
[signed]
DONALD J. TRUMP

![OC ReMix #4945: Friday the 13th "You and Your Friends Are Dead." by Juan Medrano
https://ocremix.org/remix/OCR04945
Trick or treat!!! It's a bit of both, as I've outsourced this year's Halloween writeups to the community-at-large, who came through in spades! (If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go as a team!) A tremendous THANK YOU to gravitygauntlet, Chimpazilla, minusworld, The Vodoú Queen, WiFiSunset, and Argle for taking time out, which has easily made this the biggest Halloween ReMix release day in OCR history! Enjoy this magnificent seven of vampire-, haunted castle-, hellride-, dystopia-, greedy-capitalist-, blood-drippingly-, hack-and-slash-appropriate VGM arrangements! :-)
Rounding out our treasure trove of macabre offerings is rock GAWD Juan Medrano with a lil' John Carpenter/Halloween influence on a DASTARDLY NES game, Friday the 13th! We've got Juan, we've got John, and now [/shrieks] we've got JASON! :-O I HATED this game as a kid, not for being bad... for being SCARY and stressful as shit! I could NEVER keep the kiddos or the camp counselors alive, ugh. Well, at least Juan says he had fun:
"Just a remix of the Friday the 13th cabin theme I started several years ago. Wanted an atmospheric, spooky 80s horror film sound with modern, heavy guitars. Pretty simple. Spooky rock/metal/whatev. As always, had a blast playing around with those vintage synth sounds."
The fun Juan had taking on this dark, forboding, earworming theme was noticed by judge prophetik music:
"opens with bells and some distant strings. big prototypically evil bass synth comes in soon after as well as some limited kit with loads of verb on it. [...] guitar comes in at 1:25 and sounds great, as expected. 2:18 the drum rhythm changes a bit and is more intense which is nice [...]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:jn5szaglfl73gxdp2tqxjrht/bafkreigafmlhs5t2okrhziri6qnzbgppssdklwk6q3t2pkbyms3te44bpy)
