I rent out the spare garage rooms in my house and KNOW I could get a lot more for it than than what I charge but my tenant is an elderly lady on a fixed income, is an ideal room mate, stay quiet, cleans up after herself and doesn't give me any poo poo. I know right now I could increase her rent but, basically, I'm not an rear end in a top hat and who knows what kind of renter I might get if she moved out? In short, I think my basic sense of decency and humanity is costing me money but she's the perfect person for the space I rent.

BetterToRuleInHell posted:Similac is also the #1 formula used across hospitals in the US. CuddleCryptid posted:One thing to also add onto the baby formula shortage is that Abbott's baby formula, the Similac line, is the go-to for parents with babies with delicate stomachs. We just finished formula with my son when the recall hit so we didn't get affected, but we know people who have kids who will literally poo poo blood if they don't get the correct formula, and a lot of the other formulas that will work for them require a prescription and are *very* expensive even by the already expensive formula prices. This isn't just a matter of spinning up a new factory to make rotgut formula, the product lines are necessary, and if corporate negligence causes this to go on for a while it is going to be a big problem. Yeah, the Politico story went into that, too--and how many babies need special diets with certain amino acids. Meanwhile, desperate parents are resorting to DIY mixtures with corn syrup. In a country less broken than ours the government could & would have done something--anything!--to help speed along production, Psaki's psnarking about storehouses aside.

The BLS calculates rent for the CPI by asking people who live in their home how much they think they would rent their home for. They also ask some renters how much their rent is. Unfortunately the OER has 3x the weight of actual rent data. Zillow has better housing data because they survey 100k homes each month. Redfin is also not too bad.

I think it's a serious criticism even if you 100% fully believe that the Democrats as a majority want to do all those things but just need more Democrats in office. If voting is the answer they can still be doing more to convince people to vote and to make sure they have the ability to vote while facing powerful voter suppression. If you want people to vote for you and they don't believe in you or voting that's not a personal failing on their part, that's a failing on the part of the people trying to earn votes. FlamingLiberal posted:'You can't do politics in politics! That's not right!' -the media lol yeah. I even get their complaints in the sense that yeah, a lot of politics is glad handing and building an image. But Fetterman does that, he just doesn't do it for them.

Do people honestly believe that if the Title 42 order is lifted that the people being removed under it will be allowed to stay? Here something that isn't mentioned very often, if someone is removed under Title 8 and is caught re-entering the country they can be put in prison for up to 2 years. If you are removed under Title 42 you have have not been convicted of a crime and will not face any additional penalty for re-entry. The group that is most directly targeted by Title 42 removals is single men. Families are generally processed under Title 8, are given a court date, and allowed to stay in the country. Though this seems more appropriate for the Immigration Policy thread rather than the CE thread. https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3848439&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=35 Also, migrants who are processed by the CBP are offered the Covid vaccine, though they are not required to be immunized to stay in the US. However, people wishing to legally immigrate to the US must show proof of vaccination. prospect.org posted:Another source described to the Prospect that, after learning that Russians were crossing the southern U.S. border at higher rates, Rice realized that alongside them were also Mexican immigrants. She then organized additional screenings to detain and expel Mexicans without furthering a plan to address the rise in Russians. “Rather than making moves to address the swelling Russian population, Susan discovered that a high number of Mexicans were copying that influx. She deployed asylum officers to do extra screenings at a higher threshold to make sure that they could be expelled,” the source said. This part doesn't make any sense either. Everyone the CBP catches crossing the border is taken to a CBP station, processed, and assessed under Title 42 or Title 8. I don't know what "additional screening" could be applied.

I can't vote harder. My state is solidly blue. I can't do poo poo. I'm held hostage by the rest of the states in the union. What is the expectation there? Even more, what is the reward? I'm voting as hard as I can, I'm still suffering due to a failing federal government, so what are/can the Democrats do to protect their people as the federal government falls down? If we're on the verge of losing to an enemy who does not follow the made up rules than what are the contingency plans from the Democrats for their base when those rules fall apart? Do any of them have an answer for when "vote" gets taken away as an option? So far it doesn't seem so, voter suppression is only going to get worse.
