Lemmings continue to vastly underestimate who landlords are.
In fact, fewer than one-fifth of rental properties are owned by for-profit businesses of any kind. Most rental properties – about seven-in-ten – are owned by individuals, who typically own just one or two properties, according to 2018 census data. And landlords have complained about being unable to meet their obligations, such as mortgage payments, property taxes and repair bills, because of a falloff in rent payments.
Individual investors owned nearly 14.3 million of those properties (71.6%), comprising almost 19.9 million units (41.2%). For-profit businesses of various sorts owned 3.7 million properties, or 18.8%, but their holdings totaled 21.7 million units, or 45% of the total. Entities such as housing cooperative organizations and nonprofits owned smaller shares of the total.
only about half of individual landlords reported net income in 2018, with the rest losing money on their properties. Such losses can, under certain conditions, be used to offset other taxable income.
By the power of distribution issues by not ordering more dogs from Texas… We have… Feel good headline!
Seriously. At least 3/4 of the dogs at every shelter I’ve been to in the Midwest have been from Texas shipments. At least you occasionally get stuff that isnt a Pitt mix that way.
It sure sounds like the cases you’re talking about are landlords who are building mechanics, accountants, and living just as paycheck to paycheck trying to stay afloat just like all of you.
Indeed. Iirc I contributed heavily to that thread with sources and it’s simply not true almost any way you slice it.
The closest proximity is using accidental vehicle deaths but it completely discounts the fact delivery drivers mostly deliver in town where speeds are low.
Unfortunately there’s no good data tracking for gig work yet which would be the nearest parable.
E: I was not lazy and found my old comment for sauce.
No, you had it just fine. You’ll find that an abnormally large amount of ND people hang out on Lemmy though. So many angry comments from people who used to reddit but they’re just angrily agreeing with you the whole time. Like… K lol.
I mean I’ve already shit my pants once this year… It’s gotten better after curbing the drinking but once you hit near 40s farts are almost universally untrustworthy.
E: Not to say every fart is a shart. But every time I’ve shit my pants the fart felt safe lol.
I was going to use more jpeg.com but it couldn’t do webps. I didn’t want to convert it on my phone somehow so I screenshot instead. However it made me curious and my file manager was able to convert it easily by typing in jpg for the type. So I uploaded that instead and it worked.
Let’s no kid ourselves. Raccoons definitely prefer eating trash, drowning dogs, and rabidly attacking anything despite being calm as a mouse up til they’re right next to you.
They’re one of the worst non-bug pests you can have.
