Yea it’s totally insane. You’re letting them lend out your money, paying is crazy

Use the water pressure to power a turbine generator, then use the electricity from that generator to run a window AC unit
Short term rentals would be fine if companies like Airbnb weren’t getting a cut. Like they existed on Craigslist and as actual bead-and-breakfasts way before airbnb et al existed.
Only if he claims it’s an official act though! Don’t forget that part! Write “official act as president” on everything!
You guys don’t iron clothes?
I’m a millennial and I iron my clothes, how do you get the wrinkles out??? Teach me your secrets
I don’t like it when underprivileged people get the short end of the stick. It sucks.
But trains are awesome, and it is IMPOSSIBLE to create the infrastructure we desperately need without some people being inconvenienced.
They’re fixed rates, maybe that’s a good idea!
lol how tight would it be if I could buy my own mortgages off of the bank for a discount
I have a setting and characters but no story. And I have stuff that could be part of a story, but I don’t know how to put it together. Like an arranged marriage, and jealousy between someone born to power and someone who fought to earn it. I just don’t know how to make a story that fits all of them in there.
It mentions that the right wants to limit immigration in response, but is that a non sequitor? Like the article doesn’t say anything about the crime being done by immigrants or their descendants. Like is that true? Who knows, the article doesn’t address it.
Oh no not a drone
Compare and contrast to the crewed Russian surveillance airplane shot down recently
What’s wrong with potato salad?
No that’s why I clarified foreign spending instead of domestic
How about a wealth tax for people with over $10 million dollars of assets
How about tripling the size of the IRS (or more) so that the government actually gets what it’s supposed to
How about cutting foreign defense spending
How about increasing the corporate tax rate even just a little bit
Or only paying social security to people who need it
Or getting rid of insanely wasteful farm subsidies
But yes, I think we actually agree, that people who come here need to be paid a fair wage. That was really my point. When people talk about immigration to fix labor shortages, they almost always mean minimum wage or thereabouts (or even lower like for farm workers).
Yes exactly, thank you.
Why do they need immigrants? There are people here now who need jobs, they can do it.
If I hear “immigrants will accept lower wages” one more fucking time I’m going to lose it, that’s just an intentional creation of a lower class, it’s feudalistic and coercive. Same thing with farm labor. Pay a reasonable amount and local people will do it.
Ro Laren though
But on npr this morning they said wage growth has outpaced inflation
The truly rich would be fine. They don’t pay income tax, they live off of capital gains.
That’s just punishing people at the top of the working class. Doctors, lawyers, etc.
Similar experience. The food was amazing, the louvre and notre damme were crowded, musee dorsay was great, streets were gross and grifters everywhere.
Then I went to Kyoto. It was everything Paris is supposed to be. Absolutely amazing place. Incredible French food actually, wasn’t expecting that.
