I've rented from quite a few people and one of the first who went from lower middle class to multi-millionaire's policy was to lower the rent and have his pick on who he wanted to rent to. I rent extensively, much, much more than most people (apartment, corporate rentals, vactions and then some) and I could save money and haggle over shit, but working with a good landlord is phenomenal and there's nothing better than a good tenant/landlord relationship and positive word of mouth.
One of my landlords I loved wasn't able to show her property, but I happily showed it to people for her as I was moving out and both the renter and landlord loved me for it. I had the opportunity to drink for free many nights from the new tenant when he was bartending, but he was such a great guy that even if he wasn't charging me I was going to tip it and then some.
Keep pretending you know shit and counting every fucking penny. As the saying penny wise/pound foolish.
There are people that aren't worth renting to and I don't blame landlords for not being careful. Let's lower rents and get better tenants, win/win for both parties, instead of trying to get the most and getting someone that defaults.
They revised it when they started testing so many people. I think last summer they were doing the 10 to 1 number and have revised it down since. It's pretty much over with the end of cold/flu season and deaths below a 1000 for the last seven days.
They definitely are. It's the same folks behind the takeover that started over at Reddit. The other day instead of using one their's preferred pronouns I called him a stinky dick licker and he's been downvoting me ever since.
This is probably far better news than the abortion law. Housing prices have been shooting up ridiculously as short term executive rentals can bring in a ton compared to normal people with normal jobs. I just worry for whatever state Hollywood goes to next as they never really invest in those states, who give them a ton of tax credits and ultimately lose on the deal.
I think it's be design and not conservative wide. The optimists don't want to be around whiney pessimists and concern trolls and this sites traffic has been plummeting as more and more toxic and racist shit gets spammed here every day. I am optimistic for the future, but please don't look to this site as a barometer for much any more as it's not the same place it once was.
It's more contagious. The 38-60 million cases is based on estimates of how many people will get it based on how many people test positive for it as 10s of millions don't actually take a test that comes back as positive for the flu in the USA each year. The CDC has had numerous models for estimates on how many people have actually had it and it's been like 20, 12, 10, 8 and 6 times more than who tests for it, so if we used the same methodology as they do for the flu you'd see many more people having it.
And even then this is a weak argument: "....and you think I'm the crazy one?". Neither you, nor the person you're talking to has to be crazy. I feel like the stats have been so ignored and manipulated that simply sharing them opens a ton of people's eyes.
For one these survival rates are incredibly skewed and young people in no way have a 1 in 500 chance of dying with this disease and probably not until you get up into the 50s will you start getting close to that, but the amount of co-morbidities climbs as well too with age.
No. He wanted them higher and pushed for them to be higher and then when Corona slashed them to nothing to slow the stock market's collapse. I don't believe there was any real strategy in slashing it, but he was right to have increased it before Corona hit. Now we have so much debt we need to print more money to cover the interest so I don't know what makes sense.
