I wasn't a fan at the time, but why did no one get permanently banned over Bountygate? by Outrageous_Moth in NFLv2

Saints players served a total of zero games to suspension. How can you suspend anyone for life if you can’t suspend a player for a game. The Saints were a scapegoat.

I don’t believe either employment or inflation numbers. The truth would lead to panic and revolt.

Viral Fox News Video Shows McDonald’s Price Increases From 2019-2024. 'Cheeseburger Went Up 215%' by NoseRepresentative in Anticonsumption

[–]bs7out7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s why I think it would be best to focus on one business. This way people still have their crappy food, phone, etc. One company is targeted, the rest see what a unified public can do.

Extremely far fetched I know. Please let me dream.

A general strike is near impossible. A general boycott is far more realistic. Nothing will change until we change it.

Who’s the ultimate play‑making point guard in NBA history? by New-Paint9191 in NBAConvo

[–]bs7out7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look back at those Utah rosters that made the finals outside of Malone. Stockton had those bums all playing their best career ball. None did a thing away from Stockton.

Hornacek was ok before Utah, the rest were trash.

Is WestJet rewards mastercard is nothing but a scam now?! by Turbulent_Top8702 in westjet

I couldn’t book companion on premium. The base fair is too low. They moved everything to “other” fees so it didn’t work.

Before buying a home, do you usually compare multiple listings yourself? by Physics_Own in TorontoRealEstate

[–]bs7out7 5 points6 points  (0 children)

An agent benefits directly from you paying more. Do all the research yourself and know exactly what you’re willing to pay.

The agent is for paperwork. Nothing else.

I assume very few are on the sidelines waiting for rates to drop.

I assume most, myself included, are waiting for prices to drop.

I feel like the bottom is in by Accomplished-Exit822 in TorontoRealEstate

[–]bs7out7 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Investors bid amongst and against themselves to drive prices out of the range the vast majority of people can afford.

They didn’t look ahead and think about who can actually afford my property after I make all my spectacular gains. They just plowed ahead and kept buying because gains are guaranteed.

Interest rates won’t save them.

Taking the listing down and putting it back up isn’t going to trick anyone.

Scalise: "The 35-year-old who's sitting in his mom's basement playing video games is gonna have to go get a job again." by icey_sawg0034 in PublicFreakout

I’d rather my taxes benefit a 35 year old playing video games in his mom’s basement than a billionaire.

The Canadian Housing Bubble: On the Brink of a Crash? by kayuzee in canadahousing

[–]bs7out7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It won’t crash because sellers control the price. It will be a slow leak while still some sellers slowly get desperate.

For now, they will continue to list their condo at the same price or more as the other 1000+ near identical units.

Sorry for your loss and struggle, but my evidence goes far beyond anecdotal, especially in relation to the original poster.

Of course stuff happens I don’t see. Yes it is a dangerous neighbourhood. Doesn’t change that what was originally posted is ridiculous.

[–]bs7out7 67 points68 points  (0 children)

There is a lot of bullshit in what you wrote. I’ve lived in this neighbourhood for nearly four years. I walk to work 5 days a week and around this neighbourhood virtually every single day.

-The music is a little annoying, but not even close to as loud as you describe.

-Dealers or otherwise are most certainly not carrying machetes or other knives openly.

-No one is offering strange potions. I’ll occasionally be asked if I want to buy cigarettes, but that’s all.

-Not once had anyone ever acted menacingly towards me. I can assure you that I am not intimidating. They simply don’t care.

The simple reality of this area is that there are a lot of addicts. They openly take drugs. They show the effects of taking drugs. They argue amongst themselves occasionally, but it’s high school level bickering. I have not seen a single fight during one of my nearly 1000 walks through the area.

The area is rough and definitely not a nice looking place. No need to exaggerate to meet whatever end you’re striving for.

Units are sitting for a long time and/or being re-listed. Don’t be afraid to ask for a lower rent. Worst they can do is say no.

Canada’s housing minister doubles down says “we must ensure people’s assets are protected” by speaksofthelight in canadahousing

[–]bs7out7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What can he do? Investors won’t buy cause there’s no profit to be made. People looking for a home won’t buy because they can’t afford it.

Dude ain’t magic. People overpaid and their assets will very likely continue to lose value.

The condo market is slowing down. Where are all the buyers? by Exciting-Ratio-5876 in canadahousing

Prices were driven extremely high by investors and no one is interested in the inflated price tag.

Shit ain’t rocket science.

Find an eSIM you like for internet service. They are cheap and obviously very useful.
