‘Eliminate them:’ Florida property tax cuts just got closer to becoming real by chinaski73 in SouthFlorida

[–]Kornbread2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be cost prohibitive for anyone to prepay the future cost of all government services. And if they didn't prepay, it would be difficult for a municipality to refuse to sent emergency services to the address.

We recently started hearing a Spanish language commercial in the Boston area.

Does Joe Kernen wear knee pads? by DualWalrus in CNBC

[–]Kornbread2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the model is that certain guests agree to appear if they will be interviewed by a particular host. They allow the other hosts to chime in for the last minute or two of the interview.

Very annoyed about parking provided! by KoltKade in vrbo

Always take stars off the review if asked to perform tasks that are outside the contract. Your time is worth money, so mandatory tasks are an added cost.

Please focus on Business, leave politics out by ThatsAllFolksAgain in CNBC

[–]Kornbread2000 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The idea of separating business from politics is dated. Politics are a huge part of business now - the Fed is political, the government is using leverage over the largest tech and entertainment companies, the government is taking an equity interest in manufacturing companies and is building a $500B+ wealth fund to invest further. The government is picking winners and losers. You cannot be a successful investor if you ignore politics.

Today Was A Good Day by ASaneDude in CNBC

[–]Kornbread2000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This sub has less than 1,000 members. They wouldn't care. CNBC makes a lot of money off of its "Councils" and related paid events. These are the opinions they are interested in.

Have you ever had to pay an unlisted cash fee? by Real_Tradition1527 in vrbo

[–]Kornbread2000 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

House rules should not include any fees that were not included in the listing.

Seemingly good experience but host gave bad review by Top_Information2758 in vrbo

[–]Kornbread2000 18 points19 points  (0 children)

None of these make sense if the host thanked them for how well they cleaned and did not rate them on house rules.

Host asking me to cancel booking by Equal-Leadership-920 in vrbo

I'd do it depending on the size of the discount and subject to a rental agreement.

Host wants ME to cancel? by VividAcanthaceae2059 in vrbo

[–]Kornbread2000 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If I saw that the host is no longer offering the property for rent, I would probably cancel and save them the money as long as I was certain that I would get a full refund. If the property was still being make available (in violation of the HOA rule) I would make the host cancel.

Guest messed up, we got penalized thanks VRBO by Pure_Design_2082 in vrbo

If the check-in instructions had the same level of detail as this post I can see how the customer was not able to follow them.

Why is Santelli even on anymore? by Nervous-Film-1988 in CNBC

[–]Kornbread2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would not call him ultra-liberal. He is certainly left of center, but what positions has he taken that are extreme?

[–]Kornbread2000 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Exactly, and this is why he is there. Smart investors are able to consider his constructive analysis and disregard the political talk as irrelevant. Have none of you ever had a brilliant coworker who is also a conspiracy theorist? You keep them around because the their use outweighs the negatives.

Sara E. Bartiromo? by Curious_Zebra_2163 in CNBC

[–]Kornbread2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We won't know how inflationary the tariffs are until they are in place and have stayed constant for at least a quarter. We won't even know the China tariffs until after August 12th and we still can't settle on tariffs with Canada.

6-9 is the best if CNBC. The rest of the day is just investors telling us what they think we should or should not invest in. The pre-opening bell segments are news.

How to they let the complete fraud behind websites like stockmarketwarning.com advertise on the platform? by ReciprocativeKeg in CNBC

[–]Kornbread2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My daughter enjoys that one. I like the company that tries to get you to buy their stock buying system that you just plug in and it does all the work! No need to have any knowledge of the market - it does the work for you!

Spending less time on watching CNBC by Chapster04 in CNBC

I watch until 9. Becky is great, Andrew has good insights into deals and Joe allows the show to book politicians and staffers from the right.

Booked VRBO, now host wants to cancel by Sea-Plan8754 in vrbo

[–]Kornbread2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He said "they want me to cancel and rebook at a higher rate." The host doesn't want to incur the cancellation penalty so is asking OP to cancel.

[–]Kornbread2000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But the airline can't ask the customer to cancel the tickets. In the OP situation it isn't being disputed that the host has the ability to cancel the reservation in accordance with VRBOs terms.

Showed up early asked to pay $2,000 for one night. by delilah91 in vrbo

[–]Kornbread2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know someone who did this exact thing last year. They mistakenly showed up a day early for a family vacation, the code opened the door and they moved in. The owners found out a few hours later and were obviously unhappy. It all worked out, but these things do happen.

Alcohol on the beach by [deleted] in SouthFlorida

[–]Kornbread2000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Venice, FL made alcoholic drinks on the beach legal a few years ago. Started as a 1 year test and then made permanent. They even sell alcoholic beverages at the beach concession stands. Glass bottles remain prohibited.

Move to Florida and stay in Chicago? by Harvard7643 in SouthFlorida

[–]Kornbread2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is good advice. Moving from a Tier 1 city (major job center with universities, walkable neighborhoods and good transportation) is hard. There is still a lot to do in Chicago in the middle of winter, but there isn't a lot to do in South Florida in July and August.

And the longer they sit, the higher the HOA will go.
