If you’re looking for a representation of America, it’s basically violence and apathy.

Back in time if you’re gay? Or trans? Or a woman? Or a person of color?

No thanks.

That’s a pretty narrow minded and incorrect view of the police.

I have never heard it described that way. It’s the last warm weather of the year before winter. It was something to look forward to.

You sound just like someone from Nazi Germany.

It’s like art, you know it when you see it.

It doesn’t make money to produce a product that kills your customer base quickly. Killing them slowly is what the cigarette industry does. Get the customer to purchase over and over again.

Buy medical debt. You can clear someone’s $150,000 debt for like $200.

How do you do this?

And if the landlord pays it you can be damn certain it’s gonna end up in your rent calculation.

Well obviously, they aren’t going to work for free.

At the beginning of a mortgage you’re really not gaining much equity if that’s that your prior comment was about.

So the 18k for the mortgage just disappear when someone else owns the place?

If it’s at the beginning of the mortgage, most of that is interest because interest is front loaded.

If you live in a place for 2 years and have to spend $18,000 on a mortgage and $20,000 on repairs, that’s definitely more expensive than just paying $24,000 in rent. Not everyone has $20,000 just laying around to fix stuff. They’d rather spend $20,000 over 2 years going on vacation, eating out, or having fun.

since owner wants to make money

You mean, earning money from their job (managing the property). It’s not free money, it’s their income. Just like other people get a paycheck from a regular job, landlords are just self employed. Running your own business might mean not taking a lot of pay (or no pay) some years.

Punish those who work hard. Reward those who don’t contribute to society. Let’s see how that helps!

Unfortunately, some people think their way is the only way and won’t open their minds to people wanting different ways to live (own, rent, etc).

There’s nothing wrong with renting but some people demonize it for no reason.

Why would people want to buy light bulbs? Are they going to throw them at people?

Is your cat declawed? Sometimes cats that are declawed might not want to use the litter box. It’s one of the problems with declawing.

Declawing cats is a horrible practice and should never be done.

I used to use RiF (Reddit is Fun). Then it died. I searched for an alternative to Reddit.

I’ve never been to India. Unfortunately I’ve heard mostly negative things:

• Rampant rape of women
• Too much garbage
• Smells bad
• Treating anyone non-Indian badly or will try to take advantage of them financially
• Overcrowded
• Poverty
• Low wages
• Culture that puts down women / treats them much lower than men instead of being equal

It’s unfortunate that the child porn has started to creep in.

Typically when you build with the existing frame, you don’t need to re-permit for the framing which will have to be brought up to existing code. So the cost would be less.
