This is not about the XBox division, it’s about the console. Both the XBox and Playstation consoles are generally never profitable. They make up the losses elsewhere.

I think most people outside the video game fandom would be surprised that the consoles themselves aren’t profitable, based on how big the industry is.

That is World War 1 you are talking about.

This is like asking a doctor, who is supposed be testifying as an expert, to bring in their books that they learned the subject.

That’s why I hate one-note articles like this that reduce a much more complex issue to: renters = good, landlords = baddddd! My parents own a multi-occupancy home and rely on that income to pay their mortgage. Without that income, they cannot pay their mortgage. My parents are not rich, they are immigrants who were…

You’d be wise to consider what the repercussions of small landlords being forced to sell to large, multistate property management operations does to your rental situation. 

It’s hard to read that title and not get the impression that you’re implying being the landlord automatically makes you the bully in any dispute.

I guess I am an “evil landlord”. My company transferred me to a location where housing costs are insane, I could never buy a house I would want to live in. I did have a house in Old Location (a rural area in Washington State) which was about 2/3 paid off. It’s near a military base and so tenants are mostly military. I…

Does anybody know if the Public Health Service Act in fact gives the CDC this power? Or are we just going to shit on a judge for doing their job?

I own and operate a bar with 2 apartments above it. I bought it 2 years ago with my entire life savings. Covid-19 shut my business for 3 months and cut sales by 30-40% for the next 10 months. My tenants worked essential jobs with overtime the entire time, and have been 4-5 months behind on rent the entire time. But…

Shifting the burden to the landlord doesn’t fix the problem, either, because many landlords rely on the rental income to maintain ownership of the property (even large, corporate landlords that have financial covenants in their loans, both individual property mortgages and business lines of credit). Both the landlords…

A Washington D.C. U.S. District Judge named Dabney Friedrich—by parents who must have known he would grow up to act like a Victorian villain

My mortgage company allowed me to not pay my mortgage for up to one year (requested and approved in four three-month increments). Which is great because I own one home and it is rented to a tenant. I use her rent to pay my mortgage. As of July 1, everyone has to play catch up and if that means I have to evict her,…

Not to sound like my tinfoil hat is on too tight but this ultimately comes down to the banks and investors holding mortgage paper, right? If there had been a some kind of moratorium of mortgage payments, landlords and and renters wouldn’t be pitted against each other during a worldwide public health crisis that…

She’s a woman. Put in place by trump, ofc.

I don’t think this it’s really fair to shame landlords either. Yes there are large real estate firms who manage buildings that can afford to wait for payment, but there are also just regular people who maybe renting out basements or a 2nd property that are struggling without that source of income. 

“when the progress comes on the terms of the wealthiest men in history, like Gates, we have to assume that progress benefits the wealthy more than anyone else.”

Gates does not have an “ongoing” friendship with Epstein, because Epstein is dead. Gates also, according to the article you linked to, cut off personal contact with Epstein in 2014, never entered into business with him despite Epstein’s repeated pitches, and stopped allowing his employees to entertain those pitches in…

Things are changing though!

I feel like a full 90% of the Jezebel pieces I read are just introductions to a larger piece that doesn’t exist. The conclusion seems to be that the division between suburbs and city are arbitrary and invented, which I can get behind, but is the sex-obsessed suburban woman really a myth then ?
