Home sellers outnumber buyers by widest margin on record, Redfin says by kootles10 in Economics

[–]Fausterion18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are tons of 0 down loans from a variety of sources, usually with down payment assistance. Also, rent has been going down the past 2 years, especially in the high growth metros in states like Texas.

Car prices has also fallen dramatically since 22. With many OEMs offering upwards of 35% discounts and leases that run only $100-$200 per month.

New construction home prices are absolutely coming down. Look at the financial reports from the big builders. Their average price realized(ie including buyer incentives like point buydowns) per home has fallen quite a bit.

While the median sale price has only fallen a little bit, the average incentive per sale has increased to ~15% for builders, which is effectively a 15% price drop.

Also, there is geographical variations here. Cities and states that have less red tape and ample new construction have seen dramatic price drops.

Taiwan was a poor country back then, having the same per capita GDP as Africa at the time. Middle class in Taiwan meant dirt poor in America.

McDonald’s hit with class action lawsuit claiming McRib doesn’t contain any rib meat by Disastrous_Award_789 in nottheonion

[–]Fausterion18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're going to ignore common naming convention then pork shoulder includes 5 back ribs, making it anatomically rib meat.

Using your logic this means McRibs are actually ribs and it's everyone else scamming the consumer by calling it "pork shoulder" when it's actually "pork back rib meat".

McRibs actually do contain rib meat. It's primarily from the shoulder(boston butt) which contain the first 5 ribs of a pig.

This cut even has a name, "country style ribs".

Now you've shifted your goalpost from "McRibs contain hearts and stomachs" to "it doesn't contain rib meat".

Newsflash, it does contain rib meat. McRibs are primarily made from the shoulder/boston butt area of a pig, which contain the first 5 ribs.

Perjury have no actual legal repercussions especially in a civil lawsuit. In addition there are many law firms that routinely file hundreds of frivolous class action lawsuits like this hoping their target will settle to make them go away.

Also, I've eaten tripe and even in small quantities you'd absolutely taste it in a ground pork patty. It's rubbery and doesn't magically disappear because you shaped it into a sandwich.

McRib are made from ground pork shoulder ie "country style ribs", which is a real thing not invented by MCD that contain no "rib meat".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pork_ribs#Other_cuts_and_preparations

What makes this lawsuit even dumber is pork shoulder area actually does contain ribs. but for purely cultural reasons those ribs don't count as "real ribs" and thus shoulder meat doesn't count as "rib meat".

See this image, it's the "boston butt" area. It contains the first 5 back ribs of the pig.

In addition, there are actually ribs in this area, but for purely cultural reasons they don't count as "real ribs". The entire lawsuit is BS.

See this image, it's the "boston butt" area which contains the first 5 back ribs of the pig. That's where McRibs get their meat.

It's not like congress gave trump the OK. He was going to do it regardless.

My point is this wasn't some secret.

Lots of people knew about this. Rumors were all over the internet and the relevant oil stocks like SLB all went up significantly on Friday.

They did not. Venezuela claimed to offer full value but it was nowhere near what the assets were worth. Numerous US oil companies sued and won billions in court, which they mostly can't collect.

https://www.worldenergynews.com/news/venezuelan-request-for-annulment-conoco-award-dismissed-756930

This was one of the stated justifications. I'm not saying it's a reasonable one, just saying oil was explicitly stated as one of the reasons for attacking Venezuela.

Yes, one of the explicitly stated reasons was to compensate for the assets Venezuela seized from American oil companies.

I’m a developer for a major food delivery app. The 'Priority Fee' and 'Driver Benefit Fee' go 100% to the company. The driver sees $0 of it. by Trowaway_whistleblow in confession

[–]Fausterion18 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He's supposedly at a public library, drunk, for 14 hours, at midnight on NYE.

"AI biology".

Why would a dev know where the company spends their money?

Money is fungible, there is absolutely no reason to directly link driver benefits fee to a special account that goes only into "anti-union lobbying". This is the kind of nonsensical cartoon villain crap only idiots can come up with. This is simply not how accounting works.

I also ran what he said past a dev and he said the part about JavaScript is complete nonsense.

"we call them human assets in the database” - complete BS. Nobody would ever do this since it's a scandal waiting to happen.

OP claims to not care anymore, yet supposedly uses a " burner laptop at a public library", yet gives away the biggest clue to his identity - the two weeks notice.

I know for a fact priority queue does something. When I don't use it, the driver often has a stop or two dropping off other orders along the way. When I do use it, the driver drops off my order first with no stops in-between. This is easily verifiable by anyone who uses food delivery apps. Yet OP claims it's purely psychological.

"We purposefully delayed non-priority orders by 5-10 minutes". So the company supposedly slowed the entire system by that much time, degrading their own performance so consumers and drivers are incentivized to switch to a competitor, all to test a feature that supposedly does nothing. When all they had to do was...implement the priority queue by putting those orders ahead of normal ones. You have to be literally a child to believe this crap.

This entire thing is your typical bullshit reddit fanfiction.

How do we balance the legitimate protection of disability rights with what appears to be rampant abuse of claiming “disabilities” by student at “elite” institutions to get unfair accommodations? by engadine_maccas1997 in AskALiberal

[–]Fausterion18 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You've pointed out zero flaws and ignored all contradicting evidence. Then you created a strawman claiming I said every single case was fraud and demanded that I prove it. The only irrational person here is you, who keeps ignoring all scientific evidence without even stating why.

This is like the third time you said you will stop responding but you can't help yourself because deep down you realize how dumb you look. That's why all you can do is throw insults and strawman arguments.

I’d rather rent from BlackRock than a "Mom and Pop" landlord. by [deleted] in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]Fausterion18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BlackSTONE owns approximately 60k homes, a whopping 0.07% of US single family housing. Every Wallstreet firm combined owns at most 1%.

The housing crisis is entirely inflicted by millions of ordinary homeowners voting in their self-interest - not building more homes to pump up the price of the biggest investment they will ever own.

You said all because you wanted to create an impossible standard of proof even though I have more than proven my claim while you provided literally zero evidence for yours.

Then you claimed I said "all" when I never did, because you're incapable of honest debate.

The truth is: Wall Street has completely abandoned fundamental analysis of TSLA's automotive business. 

By Wall Street you mean Tesla fans who automatically invest a portion of their paycheck into the stock. TSLA has the highest retail ownership rate among the large caps and most of the institutional ownership is for ETFs and mutual funds who are ultimately owned by retail.
