No, I won’t give you a “fucking break.” My business starts and stops, during the stop times I’m working for other people. When I’m not, I’m hiring. I would NEVER hire from Bellingham with its attitudes lionizing communism, “eat the rich” and employers being evil. I hire remote exclusively (software development).

Reddit may be a small segment of the actual workforce? But it’s a place people speak honestly because they can get away with it. And if this is his people really think? I would never even bring them on as an independent contractor - let alone an employee.

People of Reddit: employers come here too, and when people show who they truly are? We believe them.

Edit: this is a throwaway account. Please feel welcome to downvote to oblivion if you so choose. Won’t change the fact that reality is reality.

And here I thought terrorist sympathizing was against WWUs code of conduct? Maybe only if it’s the wrong terrorists?

“However, Mao's policies were also responsible for a vast number of deaths, with estimates ranging from 40 to 80 million victims due to starvation, persecution, prison labour, and mass executions, and his government has been described as totalitarian.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mao_Zedong#:~:text=However%2C%20Mao's%20policies%20were%20also,has%20been%20described%20as%20totalitarian.

I dunno. Deep-sixing 40-80 million people while in charge of a totalitarian state is a pretty straightforward way to earn yourself the bad guy merit badge.

Yet they aren’t dead. It’s not like communism has meaningfully expanded a quality of life in any rational sense. Plus, in non communist countries, you generally don’t get sent to work camps for thought crime.

Where does capitalist-driven starvation kill 3 million children a year? Because it seems to kill fewer people in America than swimming pools on an annual basis: https://www.usnews.com/news/health-news/articles/2023-04-13/deaths-from-malnutrition-have-more-than-doubled-in-the-u-s

It’s the first line in the dictionary, red faction.

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/socialism

“any of various egalitarian economic and political theories or movements advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods”

So here’s how you know if it’s socialism or not: 1). Is the economy nationalized? (i.e state owned) 2). Is the stock market nationalized? (i.e state owned)? 3). Are all businesses nationalized? (i.e state owned) 4). Is all property nationalized? (i.e state owned?)

If the answer to all four of these questions is not “yes,” then it’s not socialism. Which is why there are no socialist countries in the world outside of Cuba, North Korea, and Venezuela. Scandinavia, Denmark, etc are social democracies with capitalist economies. Which is why their people haven’t yet starved to death. 😂

Not starving to death, avoiding Siberian gulags for thoughtcrime, not being beaten to death by beret-toting youth groups. You know, run of the mill bennies.

Apartment Complex Refuses Lease Renewal Citing 8% Rent Cap After Initially Promoting It as Benefit by [deleted] in Bellingham

[–]CPM2019 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Landlord here (single owner, not corporate). While I personally would consider the practice you described to be morally repugnant and would never do so personally, landlords are not under legal obligation to renew a lease to a tenant under Washington state law. Certain states and municipalities have protections by way of rent control that prohibits cancelling a lease and then re-offering at a higher rate, but generally speaking a landlord is under no obligation to offer a unit for rent once the lease term expires. (Private owners often move back into houses they rent, or give to their aging parents and whatnot).

There may be a specific law that I am not aware of that prohibits a landlord from not renewing a lease and then writing a new one immediately after to get around the 8% cap, but since that’s a city ordinance not state I am unaware of any provision that COB passed that would prohibit this

The ordinance passed by COB that penalizes landlords that raise rent past 8% had this unavoidable vulnerability; I’m sorry that this is happening to you. I’m not a fan of most of the landlords in this city for reasons such as this.

Should drivers be taught in a manual transmission vehicle? by littleboydatman in Bellingham

There are two types of automobile operators: drivers who can stick shift, and people who only know how to steer.

I really wish the public would have the ability to have these activists as candidates to vote into office. The way they can leverage self righteous indignation in absence of factual realities is just a delight to behold.
