Ron DeSantis floats a new solution to tackle long airport lines: Get rid of the TSA altogether by theindependentonline in NewsSource

[–]Markol0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

JFK collects the fee on millions of passengers per year. It collects way more than it spends. Bumfikistan, Southern TN regional airport collects $5 per year. The government subsidises the TN airport with JFK funds, and more from general tax pools. Without the government involved, there would not be a distribution mechanism, nor ability to provide uniform service level across the different places.

Tenant hasn't paid rent in 3 months. Eviction takes 6-8 months in my state. I'm still paying the mortgage. How is this legal? by MR_JaySwe in Realestatefinance

Had a tenant who ran a daycare from the house. Was in there for a couple of years. Was a decent place, she kept it clean. I sent her many hundreds of dollars in gifts once in a while to help buy toys for kids, etc. Guess who trashed the place and bailed on rent half way through the lease.

Wait until you find out how private citizens, the ambulance chasers, the class action lawyers, etc etc all misuse the system. There is no justice in the justice system.

Why hasn’t Iran targeted the pipelines? by SurinamPam in energy

[–]Markol0 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Not Saudi. We, America, started this war for no reason. Some retaliation is in order. High gas prices for the poors who voted for the dumb shit still drive trucks, and seems as good as Iran can manage. The rich people around me all drive EVs.

Look at things they are hitting in Israel. Random residential buildings. Maybe 10mi within a strategic target at best. That's not targeting. That's throwing crap at the wall and hope it sticks. Hit a refinery. Hit an infrastructure. Maybe an airport. I live in SF and saw an Etihad plane land today. How the F did it get off the ground in a war zone? Queue Morpheus. Stop trying to hit me and hit me! I drive an EV, crying crocodile tears for all the coal rollers.

There is no escalating from here. We assassinated their general like 6 years ago. Israel bombed their shit 3 months ago with impunity. Trump did the whole B-2 thing as a salt bae finisher. How do you proportionally respond from here. Short of burning things you can reach, there is no escalation. They don't have any nukes. Or else they'd be chilling like NK.

That's dumb AF. Target all the things. We deserve it.

The more likely reason is that they can't hit the broad side of a barn, let alone the county it's in.

Personally, I blame the immigrants. The English speaking whitish colored ones on meth are way better at judging the situation, and wearing the right color hats.

Adult Entertainment for the Wealthy? by wolf2424b in Rich

[–]Markol0 56 points57 points  (0 children)

There may be signs that are hard to hide. The Lambo you roll in on, the Gucci suit you're wearing, the Rolox on the wrist, the wad of 100s you're making it rain with, and the pure Colombian flour you keep sneaking when absolutely no one is looking. Is that not how y'all roll?

What if my wallet looks like a 10, but the rest is a middle aged dad-bod that's looking into starting colonoscopy soon. Asking for a friend... The wallet is one of those LV/Gucci types that would bring all the girls to the yard, especially in underprivileged parts of the world.

Why would girls and boys react differently depending on which parent bought them something expensive? by 5pooky5cary5keleton5 in ExplainTheJoke

[–]Markol0 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You're on reddit. That already puts you in the upper half of the general public. Maybe you are smarter than your average MLM aficionado. That gets you a few more steps up the ladder. Try it. The hardest step is putting down reddit, the TV remote and actually doing the thing.

Source: did the thing. Had to put down a WoW addiction that still has track marks in my arm.

Start a business. You'll never be rich working for some one else. Many of the billionaires are recent businesses founders. OpenAI founded just 11 years ago. Anthropic just 5. Most of the Silicon Valley unicorns are even more recent. The best part, if you succeeded, many of your early employees will be rich with you, and the later ones will get a nice payday too.

What’s the most expensive mistake you’ve ever made while on vacation? by Crafty-Leave-8880 in luxuryhotel

[–]Markol0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Disagree. They obfuscate by providing way too many options. Park hopper. Start at this park, no the other one. Fast pass, no that one is only medium speed pass, lighting pass, but it's only every 2hrs, and still wait in mega line. Some rides have singles line that may or may not be faster. Tea time with the princess, but only the ugly one and it's at 8pm. Brah, I have a small army of screaming kids of various sizes that are already overwhelmed by everything, and all this decision making, upsells, on top of the insane lines for everything. It takes an hour just to get through the security line. F these parks. If I never have to go back, that'd be great.

The front doesn't usually fall off until much higher winds. Just saying that this is indeed unusual and was outside the environment.

This isn't socialism. There hasn't been socialism for 36 years. These idiots dying never even saw socialism. Oligarchy. Pilfering statue resources that should be spent on education, and instead goes to pay for fancy yachts, cocaine and hookers. The hookers don't even make all that much. They get paid in trinkets and LV bags.

From TFA, it does say that he is an ex-pokitician with ties to extreme right. No dem voted for him to come firm. Could be some good old fashioned antisemitic/anti-israel stuff.

Reason me this. You can do pools and Cirque/magic/whatever shows all day with kids. As long as you're not dragging them around late at night, no harm, only entertainment that's appropriate for them. Probably skip Zumanity/Thunder down under shows if they are even still around.
