Sylink posted:Nah it's more about saying they did something about lazy government workers. The richest Republican areas in Ohio have tons of remote work and they don't really want to get rid of it either. Yeah, Columbus became a huge remote worker hub during COVID since it's a huge supply chain center (10 hour truck drive to both NYC & Chicago) and theres also a huge amount of brain drain from the chuds in power doing chud stuff I don't see them loving the only real avenue for growth in the state & tax population (remote workers fleeing more expensive cities)

I had a $15k tax bill and she became a slumlord off a $7k tax credit. There's no justice in the world.

Rip Testes posted:Why does she think she needs 35 rentals? Pittsburgh Fentanyl Cloud posted:these things are all made up. they're completely fictional. they're there to make people think anyone can succeed If you guys haven't read Evicted by Matthew Desmond, you really should. In an effort to understand the kind of people who rent out to the working poor, He follows another woman who basically took this path. In a lot of low income neighborhoods, you can buy up properties for very little money and, if you're able to fix it up, it can be pretty lucrative. The buildings are so cheap compared to the rents (and you're dealing with tenants with few options) that once you know how to get the necessary renovations done, you can just keep buying up properties and making more income. You make more money than you can with a normal 9-5 job. The landlord in Evicted ends up spending tons of her time in housing court pushing through evictions and it's just a part of life for her. The parts of the book dealing with what life is like in trailer parks made me pretty mad.

Consolidated Ed posted:-in most states, it's legal for your boss to fire you for any reason or no reason, with no notice. the only exceptions are things such as cases of racial discrimination that the employer somehow wrote down on paper and it came up in court, refusing to commit an illegal act, etc. being in a union can modify the principle of at-will-employment, but only ~6% of the private sector is unionized. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/At-will_employment https://www.ncsl.org/labor-and-employment/at-will-employment-overview

The rest of Amazon is a dumpster fire since becoming ebay so it's ironic that the very first thing Amazon was good at (online bookstore) is now fully enshittened too I was looking for a lat pulldown bar, something that is extremely simple as it is just a tube with a tab with a hole welded on so you'd think there would be dozens of options, but they're all either total dogshit garbage (many of them break down into three parts with push pins??? Why the gently caress would you need this? Also they're made with thin aluminum that would fail the instant you used it, not to mention they're super short) or they're $100+ dollars. Ended up buying a good brand directly off the brands site for a reasonable price. Everything on Amazon now is made as cheaply as possible in ways that are questionable, and also made as small as possible. I saw a treadmill on there that photoshopped someone running on it to like 50% their normal size to make the treadmill look larger. In reality it was so small you'd need to walk/run one foot in front of the other else risk stepping off the belt. Justin Tyme has issued a correction as of 14:40 on Jun 28, 2023 |

There was a long Behind the Bastards segment analyzing all the AI-generated children's books flooding Amazon. It doesn't make you hopeful for the future of the human race. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8HWQXotK1DU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VWD9TVSQ-g

School Nickname posted:Article is paywalled, but where in the gently caress was she living to buy a house for four figures and how bad is the neighborhood? You couldn't get a shitheap pile of rubble in Ireland for that much. The cost of the land alone would eclipse what she spent on the first house. There’s a good number of places like that in the US, even if the land is worth more by its own because it costs money to demolish and haul away the condemned building so that’s factored into the price. Anyways LOL at bitter goons eager to discredit the POC girl boss single mom who bootstrapped her way to a better life

You couldn't get a shitheap pile of rubble in Ireland for that much. The cost of the land alone would eclipse what she spent on the first house. Didn't someone just share a link earlier in the thread about a woman who was able to get a derelict house for 1 GBP in Liverpool? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7-Qq-41M7Q I didn't catch that she was an online dominatrix until others in this thread brought it up.

it's not really economics although job related but i think there is a very clear generational divide where people under around 40 simply do not answer any message that isn't a text or slack dm i see people complaining on LI about recruiters and hiring managers not answering intro messages and i think it's due to this because everyone doing said recruiting and hiring has the emotional maturity of a toddler
