I don’t want anyone to lose access to housing (or food, or healthcare), but I’m much more worried about renters ending up unhoused than landlords.As it stated, most are charging reasonable prices at or below market price. Meaning they are one tiny dam blocking hundreds of thousands of people who can’t afford to live in that city from being homeless. It’s one of the biggest takeaways when you read the article.
Most landlords, the large majority, are essentially people who decided to put their savings into equity rather than tossing their money into a big giant pile for the rich to make themselves richer, aka, the stock market. Sometimes you toss it somewhere and just lose it.
Their price to pay for that equity are taxes and upkeep. Their payoff is selling it when they retire or giving it to their children or grandchildren. I don’t think I’ve ever rented from any suburban or rural landlord that wasn’t in one of these two positions.
These people aren’t megacorporations buying up land from potential homeowners. They’re people in their 60s and 70s now realizing that their investment more often than not was a poor one. They subsidize their tenants allowing them to live in cities and areas they normally wouldn’t. And when they die, the homes are going to children to either sell for a quick buck to fund their own kids college or moving into them when they’re house is now too big since the kids just moved.
As always, the gamut of possibilities is way too wide for such anti-human extremist propaganda that gets pushed then eaten up by people who should know better.
I saw a social media post that sounds true so it must be… I did something good for myself! Now lets keep ego/doomscrolling social media.
I could find none of it via google except maybe the clenched jaw. The vast majority of which are from sketchy health clinics pushing dumb shit to fleece rich people from their money.
Put your tongue wherever you want, keep your posture moving and in a comfortable position, and if you clench your jaw so hard you grind your teeth, then you have Bruxism, which is something entirely different you slack (relaxed!) jawed sheep lol.
Want better stress relief? Quit doing coke. Quit drinking alcohol. Exercise. Eat better. And most of all, get sleep. If you can’t do any of those on your own, go to a doctor and get help for it.
Almost all my inside phone batteries I’ve had in cheaper knockoff phones have been replaceable. It’s not as easy as pulling the back cover off and instantly swapping it, but it’s not THAT much harder. It’s doesn’t exactly require microsoldering. Which is the reason why I know my last three have been replaceable despite being in-house.
Manufacturers really just need to make better and more secure charge ports. Having to resolder my last two blu phones and a Samsung because the charge ports go bad is just annoying.
Never had issues with a battery in all my years of using smartphones though.
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.
Thank you. Shou Tucker was a misunderstood genius.
We really need to make a sub that’s designed to counter MoarJpeg by posting the original high resolution images to any image macros that have been artifacted to high heaven.
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.
Well you’ll be pleased to know that more and more young Latinos actually like LatinX every year. Especially when it comes to college populations where Latino people are an ever growing population.
However, a majority of those surveyed in a Gallup poll – 57% – said it didn’t matter how they labeled.
FWIW I was not lazy and found my old comment if anyone wants sauce. It’s absolutely 100% grade-A BS from a scummy lawyer group cherry-picking data that doesn’t include ‘Pizza delivery’ or any conventional ‘delivery driver’ that aren’t big rigs or siilar.
Yeah they get immediately stuffed into their corresponding drawers. They rip half them out anyway.
As for when they get older for school… Their shit is getting rolled just like mine. Way easier, more compact, and able to see what’s what immediately after opening your drawer. They’ll be helping the whole time.
It’s because they get distracted like above or just use it to ‘relax’.
Tubs really need to be larger so people can lay in them. Even then, it still takes about 15 gallons of hot water to submerge someone. If I ever get even marginally richer, it’ll be one of the first things I do. A properly sized tub you can lay down in. Making your knees hurt from having to stay bent or having your entire torso stick out of the water sucks.
People shit on Shower bath shower, but Faye had the first 2/3s right. Get the quick gross shit off, plug the drain. Let it fill while you shower then fill the rest if need be. The water will stay hot longer and you can actually lay back and relax.
Edit: The main thing is people feel like they use less water when they shower. But it does nothing when you stay in that long. Seeing a tub full of water is way more visceral. I just invite people to plug the tub next time you start showering and see how much you actually use up in those 30 minutes.
Most low flow shower heads are 2.5 gallons per minute. It’ll only take about 15 minutes to fill your tub enough to submerge yourself.
Meanwhile women also like their showers at roughly the temperature of the surface of the sun to scrub away all that self imagined sin and yuck so it’s like 3:1 gallons hot to cold vs 2:1 for normal people.
