95% of new built apartments last year in Ireland were bought by investment funds.

Our neoliberal government encouraged this market led housing solution by giving the same investment funds 100% tax breaks on rental income from newly constructed residential properties.

And yet hundreds of them are unoccupied, some high profile luxury developments not even 50% occupied. They aren’t affordable due to being rented at amounts that would cost the entire salary of a single person on the average wage of a full time worker.
This has gotta be loving happening in Seattle, too. Developers keep insisting that "the only way we can be profitable is to build luxury apartments," and the city keeps loving believing them. It's loving ridiculous.

not everyone wants to eat a 1200 calorie burger you goons

McDonald’s and Burger King are objectively better options to the gargantuan 1/2 pound butter toasted potato bunned slab bacon covered duck fried artisan burgers you wash down w a Tripel IPA Hopghazi.

Hating on fast food is tired, but claiming that it's in any way "healthy" is just about the gooniest thing possible.

Well it’s true for the developers. Investors don’t want to invest in construction unless it’s office blocks or luxury housing. It’s like they’d rather book imaginary profits by not renting them but keeping the price high. On the other hand they could rent them at lower price and book lower but actual profits.

Between this and all the unicorns that are losing money it doesn’t seem like investors are actually good at investing money.

This is already happening in Sydney. Freshly constructed buildings are needing to be evacuated a whole lot more frequently than should be acceptable. Thanks to a stupid real estate market that doesn't change the prices so it's going to keep happening.

HR just sent out an email for the yearly physical and with it something I didn't realize

If you go in for a free preventative screening and they find something it instantly becomes not free and now you have to pay for it. The example they gave was a colonoscopy that finds something. Now it's not your free preventative screen but instead a diagnostic scan and you have to pay up

it's called human resources because they treat humans like bulk resources. You don't pay for a (trans) dairy cow's colonoscopy, and since killing humans costs too much they're gonna do the next best thing.

Yeah, you don't get into HR if you actually care about people. The position exists just to protect the company. If you go to ours to complain about something happening they just forward your email directly to management without taking out who it's from. So while it's supposed to be a way for you to anonymously complain about poo poo happening in the office it actually just gets you pushed in front of the bus

In my organization that’s half of what the HR department does. The other half is when you need a Karen to deal with the insurance company.
