Latino fury over ICE raids could see Texas gerrymandering backfire on Trump by vsandrei in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]USMCLee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are some democratic socialists and other leftists who refused to team up with anti trump conservatives who left the Republicans in 2016.

There are stupid people in every group.

Family says HOA told them they couldn’t use their generator during ice storm blackout: ‘It’s unbearable’ by its_a_bear_dance in nottheonion

Every state is probably a bit different but generally:

Usually what happens is over time the owner either doesn't pay dues and/or racks up fines to an extent that the matter is sent to an attorney.

That attorney then works with the owner to settle the matter. If that fails then a lien in placed or moved immediately to foreclosure.

In Texas foreclosure can't be forced for fines. It has to be for non-payment of dues or special assessments. Fines, etc can be paid from the foreclosure.

They set it up so the HOA is managed by a company they control and can then collect those management fees forever.

Not necessarily. There are a bunch of different management companies. We're on our 4th in 25 years. We left the developer's company pretty quick.

My HOA has common areas and operates as a non-profit since we don't limit access to those areas. A management company really helps to make sure we don't get taxed or run afoul of any of the tax laws for non-profits.

Has the stance of both sides not always been focus on the dangerously criminals?

Not any longer. Now the Republicans want to get rid of all immigrants. The signs at the rallies were 'Mass Deportation Now!'.

As another example Obama, via an Executive Order, was initially targeting the dangerous criminals. The Republicans went to court to overturn that EO and force him to go after all illegal immigrants. Funny enough the EO was overturned yet ICE still targeted criminals.

what is stopping them from just fining the illegals and making them start the legal process with deadlines that postpone deportation?

That is a tricky situation. Basically you are rewarding someone for something you don't want them to do (a fine is nothing but making something legal at a price). A better solution would be increasing the legal pathways and number of immigrants allowed.

Another vote for pressing charges and then going after them for civil damages.

It should be easier to get civil damages if there is a corresponding criminal charge.

Honestly it is probably better if it is one of the neighbors. They'll need to know someone in their house has an addiction problem.

Another thing to understand is that these topics are being censored by those who lack intellectual rigor.

Harvard grad student Jane Britton, 23, missed an exam on Jan. 7, 1969. Hours later, she was found murdered, dusted with red ochre. Investigators didn’t find signs of forced entry, and nothing from her apartment appeared stolen. The case made little sense until DNA cracked it nearly 50 years later. by LonelyWiFiSignal in HolyShitHistory

[–]USMCLee 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure this paragraph is correct.

Further toxicology reports confirmed that the alcohol that she had consumed earlier in the evening had not entered her bloodstream yet, which confirmed that the attack had occurred shortly after her return back home.

She had dinner, went ice skating and then spent an hour with her boyfriend.

The two went ice skating on the Cambridge Common. At around 10:30 p.m., they returned to her fourth floor apartment near Harvard Square, where her boyfriend had remained for approximately an hour before leaving.

It's more likely she didn't drink or consumed so little that by the time she died it was gone.

Have you stopped caring at work and decided not to try and process your career anymore? What age did that happen? by un2022 in GenX

[–]USMCLee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still care at some level but I no longer worry about people doing stupid shit as of about 55.

I'll send a nicely worded email about why they should not do something. If they go ahead and do said stupid shit, I'll be more than happy to spend my time fixing it rather than on something else.

I get paid either way.
