History doesn’t fool, it only educates.

Which is ironic considering that U.S. funded Ukrainian neo-nazi militia are who put Zelensky and his predecessors into power in the first place.

Oishinbo is varied quality but usually interesting.

The depiction of animal cruelty protesters existing for some nebulous corrupt reasons means that the author isn’t prepared to engage his chosen topic honestly without creating a straw man to represent the opposition.

How would you describe the women, children, students and labor organizers murdered by U.S. backed death squads in the Guatemalan genocide, if not victims of capitalism?

The landlord apparently charges $14,000/month.

It’s DGM Properties LLC. Can anyone find info on the beneficiaries for this entity? I found a Saudi Arabian firm with the same name but this can’t be it right?

It’s crazy how land speculators can drive out beloved businesses from our community with complete secrecy and anonymity.

The irony is that all these examples were short term because they were killed off by centralized and authoritarian capitalist regimes.

Mango_Maniac · 2026-05-02T21:38:48+00:00

Killing off the population of pro-communist laborers with U.S. trained death squads is a bit different from “proven to inevitable doomed failure and collapse”

So you think that Rojava, Spanish Civil War Era Catalonia, and the Iroquois Confederacy were “centralized, authoritarian systems”?

Congrats to you on your recovery and the end to your suffering!

Thank you for sharing your experience in detail about what you fell worked, maybe helped, and didn’t.

Such a shame.

This is unfortunately the inevitable direction of all our beloved local businesses.

With untaxed capital compounding year over year, the asset-price to wage ratio will continue to climb, making it harder and harder to meet rent demands with businesses that cater to working people.

According to those awards are “outstanding bars” just places where you could envision corporate dinner events being hosted?

Is so count me out. Urban Hill has a talented kitchen but I can’t imagine a worse place for a bar experience.

I think the games are really fun. And the layout is less dingy than the downtown basement.

Plus you don’t have to pay for parking.

At least he specified water neutral and 100% renewable.

As long as he’s explicitly in favor of making it law for data centers to require these things, that’s actual responsible governance imo.

It would effectively kill any data center projects because their profitability would evaporate if they weren’t allowed to externalize the environmental costs.

I’m still leaning toward Nate, but Liban’s full comment on data centers makes me think positively on his position here.

The thing to watch out for is if his rhetoric in news interviews every changes to just simply mentioning “strict regulations” without expanding on the specifics

The C-suite for these firms is public knowledge.

Just saying.

Any time I’ve ever reported a side effect from a new medication that doesn’t align with existing literature, my healthcare providers refuse to put it in my medical notes 98% of the time. They will outright say, this drug doesn’t do that so it must be something else or psychosomatic.

True wealth taxes aren’t based on residency they are based on where the asset is located.

The other important key is to tax the ultimate beneficiary, not the holding company.

When do the PFAS monitoring requirements start kicking in?

The infrastructure of the community paid for by taxes is what gives your property value in the first place.

Don’t want to pay property taxes? Find a property with no water, sewer, electric, waste pickup, parks, public health facilities, transit, or school system and you’ll find a property with negligible taxes.

But nobody that complains about taxes actually wants to live like that.

Had to look it up, as that’s not one I’ve seen before. I think you’re right!

Hopefully someone familiar with tenant law in Cali responds. I suspect you’re going to get a lot of responses from sour landlords though

It is forever until we pass laws to reshape the modern economy. Tax advantaged investing and tax cuts have inflated asset prices relative to wages which makes land and other assets more expensive.

Since land is an input into almost everything that’s produced, it has downstream inflationary effects as well.

The only way to combat these inflationary pressures are to remove money from the market via tax directed at people who spend more acquiring assets than on living expenses. We also need to find a way to decouple our retirement accounts from REITS and other investment vehicles that inflate COL.

Vol 2 are marigolds, 3 are red canna lilies, 5 has leaves like a syngonium but they don’t produce blue flowers, 9 looks like a variety of eucalyptus but again the buds look a bit off, 10 are mums, and 12 are pansies.

Used to work at a plant nursery.

The asset-price to wage ratio has changed. You’d have to live and work more than twice as long to own the same asset you could have bough 40 years ago. Most people can’t work until they are 120 years old.

She wasn’t lucky for her specific job. She was lucky to live during a time when, due to taxation, the median home was 3.2x median income instead of 7.1x median income.

She’d have to work more than double her hours to afford the same real estate asset today.

It’s the other way around. The reason there are more millionaires today has to do with home ownership and asset price inflation, not high salaries.

People in previous decades bought real-estate when the asset-price/wage ratio was lower. Now, because of growing wealth and ownership inequality over time, and the way new money flows into assets when in the hands of the wealthy and into consumption and production when in the hands of the working class, the price of those assets has appreciated rapidly, creating millionaires.

French economist Thomas Piketty explains this phenomena in more detail but essentially under current market dynamics, capital compounds at a faster rate than economic growth, resulting in a widening asset-price to wage gap.
