https://www.thedrive.com/news/27976/people-are-being-arrested-and-jailed-due-to-hertz-erroneously-reporting-rental-cars-stolen-reportquote:Reports of Hertz customers finding themselves in hot water after renting a vehicle from the Florida-based company are on the rise, and the culprit appears to be a faulty computer system and poor office management. The majority of the cases claim Hertz reported vehicles stolen to the police when they were actually being legitimately rented by customers, causing major issues for the renters and anyone unlucky enough to be riding with them. obv it's a software bug

i got this in the recommends: https://www.thedrive.com/news/27980/florida-manatee-orgy-near-tampa-bay-highway-causes-worlds-most-awkward-traffic-jam good job manatees  quote:Approximately a dozen of the creatures were spotted by commuters offshore of Courtney Campbell Causeway, reports Fox 13. The news channel says it received several calls from drivers commuting via the road—many of whom pulled over to watch the spectacle—reporting a possible whale in distress. On arrival, a news helicopter discovered the herd of manatees engaging in a rarely seen reproduction practice known as a "mating ball."

At the end of the argument he admitted all he really wanted was to not have to make small talk with the driver. 5 years later, uber changes the game with a "I prefer not to make small talk with the driver" button.

Sagebrush posted:i think in california this one at least triggers ellis act stuff and requires that they pay you 2 years of rent as a penalty afaik california doesn't guarantee you poo poo, at state level in los angeles, at least, landlords have the right to evict you at any time if they wish to occupy the unit themselves, or put a family member in there. so even if you have a 2 year lease or whatever, as soon as the landlord needs housing, you're out on your rear end i believe the bay area has similar local ordinances but lol so many muncipalities

ok so i looked it up and it's even worse than i thought the ellis act actually requires local municipalities to permit landlords to evict tenants for the sake of landlord occupancy a few municipalities (e.g. SF) require landlords to pay tenants a token amount, but i don't think landlords are gonna care about a one-time $5k charge to boot tenants when the alternative is living in the street

H.P. Hovercraft posted:remember how mad people got about the federal government subsidizing flood insurance when these stories started coming out there is a serious argument that the structure of flood insurance incentivizes rebuilding in flood zones, which is the problematic part. obviously you shouldn't use the flood insurance to push people out who can't afford to leave - but once a house is wrecked and you hand the family a check, if the area is sufficiently likely to flood you probably want them to take that check and build a house in a non-flood zone rather than in the flood zone again. that issue, of course, got mixed up in the idea of pushing poor people out right now and all sorts of other bad ideas
