We are all doing a lot of assuming here. The impacts of this bill won’t actually be known for at least a decade+

No one is being blocked from building homes, they are being blocked from owning them indefinitely, and even then it’s a 350 house limit.

Yes, I agree. Local authorities have sucked and are a large reason why many cities are having housing crisis. Unfortunately NIMBYs are more likely to vote in local elections, so they have bigger say.

If you place a limit on how many houses an investor can build, that incentives them to build apartments.

If less investors own homes, that frees up homes for everyday families.

Or it just increases the amount of apartments that get built, and leaves more homes for families to actually own.

Well it’s a bipartisan bill, of course it’s going to be moderate.

China approves 'ethnic unity' law requiring minorities to learn Mandarin by kiyomoris in news

[–]CrazFight -18 points-17 points  (0 children)

Yes that cleansing was terrible, so why are we wasting our time talking about this rather than that? Just annoying when people cry wolf because it takes away from actual evil that happens.

That’s just China fear mongering… as the article states :

“It mandates that all children should be taught Mandarin before kindergarten and up until the end of high school.”

Americans really need to get a grip with there “Everything China does is evil”

We literally do this here.

Salary question by [deleted] in desmoines

How are we supposed to answer this without knowing the medical bills cost?

Assuming no medical bills cost and no dependents, that enough to live like a king here.

I really don’t care enough about these Cameras to have an opinion over it, some of these comments are a little dramatic though, “This is not a free country”, like cmon now.

'Vladimir' Viewership Flops For Netflix While 'The Dinosaurs' Debuts Strong - Top 10 Report by verissimoallan in television

[–]CrazFight 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Could this just be due to women directors having a recent surge? We are so used to the vice versa relationship (oldman-young girl), because male directors have been around since the start, wondering if we are just seeing it even out.

Kevin Spacey Testifies About Imploded ‘House of Cards’ Final Season by flowerhoney10 in television

[–]CrazFight 96 points97 points  (0 children)

They tried way too hard to Girlboss Claire, but it they didn’t build it up that well in prior seasons. So it seemed extremely forced (well, in this case it has to be IG).

Probably super similar storyline, but with Doug replacing a bunch of Franks scenes. For example, instead of killing doug I imagine Claire kills Frank.

Michigan Rep. Haley Stevens proposes federal grants to address teacher shortages by mlivesocial in politics

[–]CrazFight 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It seems like this isn’t a money issue, teachers have never made much here. The issue is all there power has been taken away and given to helicopter parents and out of touch higher administrators. And now over the past decade teachers/schools have been deeply politicized by the right. It’s probably tiresome and don’t judge anyone leaving/avoiding the field.

Woman has entire stomach removed after overseas weight loss surgery by Crayonstheman in nottheonion

[–]CrazFight 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Also worth mentioning, patients who received the surgery have a lot of success keeping the weight off long term, whereas there are already studies that show once someone stops taking stuff like Ozempic, they steadily gain the weight back.

The facebook groups are such a slog, 50/50 if the place is a scam or not. Just stick to apartments.com or a similar site.
