i knew something was off the moment i felt sympathy for a landlord, of course turns out the point was to "help paying off her mortgage or whatever while I went on vacation"

Isn't this basically how Israeli settlers work? They just take over a Palestinian's house one day and passive-aggressively and aggressive-aggressively live there amongst the rightful owners until they can't take it and leave.

is there any writing on what happens to neoliberal outsourcing when they get to The Poorest Country and what that would mean for practical labor power there? or I guess the shell game is to enter a cycle of impoverishment and outsourcing in perpetual loops around the world

It's kind of more amazing she got to the point where she was trying to rent out property and didn't know about it. Squatters rights is like a misunderstood legal meme on the level of the mcdonald's coffee burn tort reform nonsense. I think p much everyone has heard a "horror story" about greedy tenants that won't leave and trash the place at the landlord's expense.

Orvin posted:One of my coworkers had a two flat in Chicago, and did Air B&B for the second floor for awhile. He wouldn’t let anyone rent for over 2 weeks, as he didn’t want to come anywhere near the one month tenants rights thing. And that was like 5 years ago. The funny part is thats not how things work in Chicago and the second you have someone in an Airbnb there they can live there for free forever if they know what they're doing (no one knows what they're doing). The police/sheriffs will just say go to court about it we're not gonna give a poo poo Although the really aggressive ones eventually end up with criminal charges but I'm not sure how that actually goes down https://www.beverlyreview.net/news/community_news/article_d36c3ed8-a2cc-11e7-8acb-abf72f31d15d.html https://www.fox32chicago.com/news/second-man-convicted-of-felony-charges-in-squatter-scheme mastershakeman has issued a correction as of 01:36 on Mar 21, 2023 |

I would have said gently caress off . Eventually that guy moved out His new tenant is a hot hippie lady who keeps a couple thousand bees on the path and it's freaky to see them swarm

Speaking of timing the market poorly I've just been doing bland 401k target date stuff for a while but have enough money kicking around to start up a roth ira and contribute for last year + this year too now, seems like if rates keep going up number might be stagnant or unhappy, if rates taper off or go down though number might Got my vanguard setup this weekend thanks to advice from BFC so it looks like after waiting a day or two for initial deposits to clear this might be my first foray in feeling directly responsible for my investments.

I see this and think back to a few years ago when everyone was tripping over themselves to land the Amazon HQ 2 in their city and then the pandemic hit and no one went to the office. Now that the pandemic is declared over Amazon wants everyone's butt back in the office while simultaneously laying off tens of thousands of staff. Also remember how the lifted the base salary cap for most professionals by like $200k a year back.

Amazon stopped construction on their HQ2 in Virginia lol https://www.theverge.com/2023/3/4/23624965/amazon-suspends-hq2-construction-headquarters-virginia I hope they never start again and it rots into the earth like all those lovely speculative housing developments in 2008 Arizona.

It would be extremely funny if there were no clawback clauses on what they got to build HQ2 there and they just never finish it.

I don't remember where I read it, but someone suggested that Amazon got exactly what it needed out of that: vacuuming up free infrastructure information from the cities that were rushing to kiss Amazon's rear end for their new HQ.

Pittsburgh Fentanyl Cloud posted:Amazon stopped construction on their HQ2 in Virginia lol Um, so the Amazon HQ stuff is old-ish news, but regarding that speculative housing in AZ… most of it was completed (by the banks), sold by the banks (for a profit) or otherwise rented for awhile (at a profit) and then sold as the market rebounded (for a major profit), usually by the banks. Very little in AZ actually was left to rot, because the banks happily went after everyone’s assets where they could.
