Gas stations actually make almost all of their money on things other than gas that people buy while they are at the gas station. It’s true that people wouldn’t come to existing gas stations nearly as much if they weren’t buying gas but they could make as much or more from users charging.
The real problem from their perspective is how infrequently users may need such especially if they charge at home and the cost of charging infra which is always in addition to gas not instead of
The rate of burglary is 271 per 100k per year in the US but nobody doubts it exists. If the rate of weasels ripping off deposits was 1 in 20 which is incredibly high and you sampled 10 instances the chance of getting zero is 0.95^10. That is to say the chance that someone would rent 10 times in such a market and not have someone try to rip you off is ~60%. Your sample size isn’t meaningful even if it were random.
Always makes me wonder what other people do to their houses to fuck them up so bad.
You figured people must all be doing damage to lose their deposit. Lots of people don’t understand what their rights are or what to do to protect them because the poor are habituated to the reality that they don’t have much in the way of rights.
If you are on the bottom of the food chain there are basically no good things compared to other developed nations. I would shred my citizenship docs for a better choice.
Here let me help you. Landlords vary wildly in quality and decline quickly as you go down in price furthermore being ignorant of your rights or lacking in options due to money are both easy routes to getting fucked. Not understanding that people pretty regularly get fucked out of their deposits because you haven’t is like wondering why other people get raped when you have avoided it.
hey aren’t really incentivized to return it to the tenant
Yes lots of landlords here just steal it as a matter of course. The US is basically a garbage country with a great military.
You have a right to speak but not a right to an audience that doesn’t want to listen to you. I think certain groups are accused of harboring pro Putinistas because in fact they do actually feature them.
Most users prefer to defederate from socialist instances because “tankies”.
To the degree that people bother to defederate from anything (most users don’t) I would assume its because apologists for Putin and China are about as odious to talk to as MAGAs
Nobody cares. If we could make it free and easy enough it would stop being useful at suppressing the vote and Republicans would lose all interest and Democrats already don’t care.
Anything which requires action in all 50 states and the government giving up a source of revenue and overhauling complicated systems couldn’t be completed this century. While we are at it though I would like a hardware security key handed out with your ID as a second form of ID and required for any sort of large purchase like a car, or opening a line of credit.
Because Harris is both Black and Indian heritage and curry and fried chicken are the two foods most stereotypically associated with each aspect of her heritage. It’s not like he picked two random foods.
Did the motherfucker forget to add watermelon to the list? It’s amazing that even when he isn’t trying the racism just flows out like spit dripping down his lip
A: I feel like an actual fascist takeover of America would open the door to more direct bribery like wire transfers of large amounts of funds. If you transfer 10M to him he gets the entire 10M not half.
B: I think people buying it either believe in the theory of utility you outlined or are betting on others perception of the utility more so than direct belief in real value as is common with meme stocks. There is also probably a non trivial percentage which have no reasonable theory of value whatsoever which are making an emotional decision as to investing comparatively small amounts of personal monies.
This is a basic misunderstanding of reality. It’s shitty and useless even for him. If he wins he wont need it.
That is the great thing about hate it doesn’t really require specific knowledge. Most of the people who lynched black folks in the south didn’t have a lot of specific understanding of the cultures or history of the people they hated they had a sort of diffuse hatred based on nothing real. Assuming that historical issues aren’t a root of anything because the rabble doesn’t specifically understand why they are supposed to hate someone is just a basic misunderstanding of how people work.
It’s like thinking the smell of shit doesn’t come from the turd because the people smelling it can’t actually see it.
The United States actually paid reparations to slavers. We paid slavers in DC the equivalent of $9000 per slave.
It’s a social media company with very few active users which loses piles of money and takes in a pittance in return. It is worth less than nothing. If he holds it when it goes to zero than he loses all possible profit. Of course he’s going to sell.
You are acting as if it were actually complicated. Requiring no duty to retreat makes perfect sense in your own home. The law most sane places says you have to be in a situation where a reasonable person would be in fear for life or bodily injury.
Note “reasonable person” is a common legal standard. A reasonable person doesn’t think someone outside is automatically a threat. People who shiit then ask questions go to jail.
At least 44% are liable to vote for a literal hitler figure. At least 1-2% will vote a protest vote instead of voting against a fascist who would plunge America into darkness for a generation. Pretty sad for our educational system.
She can effect the outcome of the election even if she can’t win it this should be obvious.
untrue
There is actually a lot more extra help granted to white people especially the well off than will ever go to black people. There is a higher proportion of white people in Harvard now who wouldn’t have made it purely on merit than any other race. In a less shitty environment maybe being colorblind would actually make sense. In actuality it decreases fairness.
The actual aid that is available to families is largely a joke
You actually largely can’t you would end up living with the hobos on the cardboard if you without any disability decided not to bust your fucking ass.
80 years ago isn’t today. 80 years ago jobs that paid 50k didn’t require 100K in debt while houses cost $400k.
You are basically a KKK member without a hood.
