No, he posted an article without comment, and the thumbnail of said article has that symbol. He didn’t post the symbol itself like the title suggests.

And to further your point, the OP of this very thread did the same damn thing.

Not sure why ‘not the onion’. Seasoning a pan is the classic solution to sticky pans.

Never had anything in my apartments maintained by the landlord, always had to maintain everything myself at my own expense.

When is the last time you bought a furnace, a water heater, or a new roof for a property you rent? Ever?

It isn’t that the owner isn’t maintaining it, it is that they aren’t maintaining it do the standard you would prefer. And that absolutely is an issue. And it is one of the primary benefits of no longer paying a landlord and instead buying a property and maintaining it to your own standards. You will almost certainly end up with a maintenance standard you like as you will be the one dictating and implementing it.

Absolutely, a problem that is improved by increasing housing supply (thus lowering costs). We need more government investment in building homes and to remove barriers that prevent or slow homes from being built. Simply outlawing rentals, as OP suggests, would do the opposite, it would take out a huge chunk of people who are building homes, drastically lowering supply and exploding housing prices.

Biggest plusses people argue in favor is not having to maintain the property yourself and being able to move much more easily. If you are one of the people who would prefer to buy, I highly recommend you do so. Maintaining your own stuff is quite nice, as it lets you keep it up to the quality you desire.

Owning a house isn’t that expensive. It’s so much cheaper than renting

The good thing is, people who don’t want to rent can buy. I highly encourage people to do exactly that.

You’re charging someone for you doing nothing

Go talk to someone who manages a rental, ask them specifically what they do. What do they do when the tenant leaves? What do they do when the tenant doesn’t pay? What do they do when things break? What do they do when there is a squatter? What do they do when there is a bogus complaint to the local government? What do they do when a unit sits empty for an extended period?

The answer to all those questions is most certainly not ‘nothing’.

The higher the supply the lower the prices; we need higher housing supply. We need to reduce barriers to building homes and increase government investment in building new homes.

Buy instead, you clearly have the money. Don’t contribute to a landlord’s profits.

You can charge HUD twice the going rate

You cannot just charge whatever you want. They aren’t morons. Often times the government offers below market rate in exchange for the guarantee you will be paid, regardless of what your tenant is doing.

Buy a home, don’t contribute to landlord’s profits.

How is it legal that people buy property and rent to those who want to rent instead of buy? My question to you is why wouldn’t it be legal?

human and civil rights aren’t “politics”

You will agree that human and civil rights, such as the right to keep and bear arms, is not politics? If you disagree, why is your preferred civil rights not politics, but other’s preferred human and civil rights are?

I believe the deal was NATO or nukes. And, with the US shitting all over Ukraine now…

Yeah, people are overall pretty comfortable right now. I’m not sure why we should expect a revolt.

‘You specifically bring up European colonists settling in America. How did that turn out for the Indians?’

Seriously, this is probably the worst example to push for illegal immigration I can think of.

That’s because this chart doesn’t even include the largest spending categories: Social Security, Health, Net Interest, Medicare, THEN National Defense, in that order.

I can’t wait to see what the US does with this new front of the meta and how they will defeat everything with the application of more and more accurate scissors. You have a rock? Well, we will just defeat that with the correct scissor. Enjoy your day, i-rock!

In the larger meta: The enemy attempts to hard-counter with air-defense? Uno-reverse, hard counter the air-defense with air!

How do they pay for the service?

Free VPNs are simply a bad idea.

What are they getting from you that allows them to pay for the ‘free’ service? It certainly isn’t a monthly sub, and there is only one other thing you are sending them…your data.
