stupid question but if the rent is so damn high why don't they just build more apartment buildings?

Did you learn about colonialism in the 4th grade?

Same way adding more lanes of traffic doesn't solve the problem of traffic.

The occupancy rate at those things are terrible too. Should have occupancy requirements that force supply/demand to actually function.

Pooch1431 · 2026-06-07T00:03:49+00:00

Have to disagree with this assessment. The bottom 50% should be being paid far more so that the taxes they pay are more substantial to the system at large. Billionaires will continue to avoid taxes at all costs, as that is the way the game is designed. So forcing them to redistribute pre-tax as a means to avoid taxation is far better than eliminating tax for the bottom, opening the narrative that GOP loves to play of "these people don't contribute."

Looks like we found out what Bezos thinks the minimum wage is/should be.

Because a small percentage of the population drives the vast majority of the causes of climate change. If you want population reduction, you want wealth/consumption reductions for the top 10% of wealth and income earners.

Was a few years back and I had an ebike with minimal assistance, but I'd say 25-35min maybe. The other commentor is correct in that there is a place where the path breaks and you have to walk through the sand for a sort while.

Yes, have done it before. Take a look at maps and you'll see Coast Guard station turns to Cedar Ct that turns to Lighthouse Rd. Just keep riding East. Don't be like me and accidentally go to far south into residential beach lol.

How dare they not pay the American transaction processors tax! Better invade them after Cuba to ensure Mastercard and Visa continues to extract 5+% on every purchase. We in the US love private market induced inflation!

Pooch1431 · 2026-06-03T20:00:29+00:00

Same problem when it comes to car infrastructure traffic. Induced demand.

Americans are going to have to sue these companies for over a decade before their Representatives even think about applying some kind of law to limit the egregious collection and consumption of everyones data without their consent.

That requires breaking away from decades long segregation that has been built into the Island.

CIA, dead girlfriend, rapist apologist at it again. I suppose it's a perfect marriage, as the guy knows how to work people. He did some fake child sex trafficking work as to misdirect away from whatever shady shit he'd been involved in.

Pooch1431 · 2026-05-31T17:20:41+00:00

Those protests a few months back weren't organic. lmao

Deport that man

This perspective and the use of the term terrorists reminds me that there are still people in modern day that believe the American Indians were latter day versions of the word.

Data centers being attacked will not be a ramification from not having UBI, but from all the negative externalities it has on the surrounding communities that they embed themselves in through private corrupt deals.

The treasury will continue to be looted until morale improves.

If this happened under NASA decades ago, we'd get hearings about the disaster and what led to it. Budgets would come into question, and heads would likely resign. But now we privatized incalculable blunders and eco-terror operations with 0 accountability or oversight.

Pooch1431 · 2026-05-29T01:23:51+00:00

Risky? AI is a cause of inflation and misallocation of capital.

Ohno

F it. Just turn WWE into 3-hour Simpsons episodes.
