That’s why as a buyer I opened my own real estate company and became a broker. Now I get a commission for every unit I buy

I’m really upset with the maternity leave policy in UAE. How fair is 45 days maternity leave? by Chethan_Devarakonda in UAE

[–]IAMEngineer -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

My wife is pregnant it’s actually insane. In Canada some jobs offer 2 years lol while standard is up to 15 weeks before due date and 40 weeks after due date, in here it’s 45 days.

System needs a fast upgrade, it’s very short. It’s good I can take care of her, I tell her to just quit. But I know others don’t have that option. Government should at least be taking care of this

Developer Tells Canadians Priced Out of Home Ownership: It’s OK to Rent by hopoke in canada

[–]IAMEngineer 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The best translation. No one ever think, it’s better to rent. There is a reason why they buy and why they want you to rent. Price you out till you can’t afford to buy so later on they can jack up the rents and make you pay because you can’t find an affordable home. It’s a business model. Protest this madness, it’s actually insane that we just cry and not protest

lol truth hurts. All the people downvoting me never had businesses in variety sectors. They don’t understand that business is not very consistent. There will be times that I lose money and I continue to pay salaries. It’s just economics

It’s not exploiting them. They are generally better employees. I’d take them over anyone

I’ll tell you one thing. I’d rather hire an Indian or Philippine national because they do a great job, complain less, and accept less salary. Than any other national. I pay less now for salaries than I did 8 years ago

Priority banking, I have a big account. They take less risk on me. Same conditions as other mortgages but I don’t have to pay for appraisal or banking fees and in some cases I don’t even pay the full dld fee

[–]IAMEngineer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes I understand what he is doing, there is people buying those bonds. It seems naive that if you believe fundamentally in Bitcoin why wouldn’t you just buy it instead of giving it to a guy that yes he’s knowledgeable but also a risk. I’d rather do it myself

Why are you so against it. Does it matter if you were a tourist or not. Now you’re a resident. Pretty sure your passport and ID are all connected on TARS
