whether or not

Yeah. Go ahead and breathe in that cleaned air running through that engine. Also the OEMs are the ones that make the SUVs so trying to make them sound like an innocent party isn’t going to fly. Yes people buy them, but make no mistake, OEMs love to provide them. It’s well known they’d rather sell you a CUV or SUV with…

Actually I was a manufacturing engineer for a number of years, so yeah, I have an idea of how this stuff works. I also heard the per part price was going to work out to 10x what market price was. However, I think that source didn’t really know how many parts the contract was for. Since the article above didn’t provide…

Does this mean the federal government gets to dictate the price of the contract? While it costs a lot of money to retool a factory, $1 billion seems like GM and Ventec are trying to use this as a get rich quick scheme.

How about you charge a reasonable rent and we’ll talk. Every landlord uses their properties as a get rich quick scheme and it keeps tenants in a position where it is impossible to weather conditions like this without help because they can’t save enough money for emergencies. Rent is a person’s largest expense by far…

Because you’re in the business of providing a home and you have capital. There wasn’t a moratorium on providing apartments and livable conditions, just rent. However, there was also a moratorium put on MORTGAGES. That should free up some money to provide services despite not receiving rent revenue. Try sharing the…

No one cares about landlords. You have the upper hand and can figure out what your procedural options are yourself. You have capital and options and regardless of what happens, you have a place to live. Not always the case when tenants have issues. Tenants are usually at a disadvantage and get taken advantage of way…

Dude, you replied to the wrong message for this bullshit. I proposed a reasonable way to make up back rent. No one is getting anything for free here. The entire economy and workforce has been utterly screwed. No reason the landlords shouldn’t shoulder some the load by simply allowing back rent to be paid in a…

Oh wow. Your experience is the only one. Oh wait, I went to two in-state schools which I did because they are affordable and I still have debt and am still paying the loans off aggressively with a very well-paying job. Just like you. However, the government didn’t shut your job down for an indefinite amount of time…

Believe it or not, some people work hard and simply just graduated and are just years behind in the same process you pride yourself so much on. Times change, bud.

Exactly, what about you. The only advantage you had over someone doing the SAME EXACT THING YOU DID just years later, is time. However, you had the advantage of not having to stay home under government order and not make any money. Good for you. Now sit down and think fondly about the years of uninterrupted income you…

Dude, there are people out there that try very hard to pay off their loans in a timely manner and don’t buy things. You weren’t the only person who thought of this. Jesus. It’s like you think that anyone who has student loan debt is wasting their money on other things. What about people that are only a few years out…

What about all of the people that dump all of their money into their loans and still haven’t paid them off? Shouldn’t they be assisted? I’m sure you remember clearly that you didn’t have any money to spare when you were doing the same thing. However, you didn’t have the disadvantage of a worldwide pandemic risking…

That’s not what blogging is. This is a blog.

Lol! Good for him. He had parents that paid his way. Lots of people didn’t. We didn’t ask for that and now student loans are a lot of people’s largest expense. In my case, it’s much higher than my rent.

And if they aren’t going to forgive, there has to be very specific ways in which landlords can demand the back rent once things go back to normal. No making the back rent due all in the same month and then kicking people out once the eviction bar is lifted. Landlords are 90% POSs that would pull that garbage. That and…

I know right? It’s like the people that wrote the bill don’t or never have rented. Oh wait...

OK. Maybe that’s enough. How long though? Also, what are the conditions that landlords have to adhere to for non-rent paying tenants? What is the recourse for a landlord that, although he cannot evict someone, decides he’s not going to keep up the maintenance on the property or otherwise retaliate because he’s not…

I see there is nothing in there about rent to landlords... Sure, the landlords get to stop paying their mortgage, but you better fucking pay your rent.

Cool. Let’s support the franchises that destroy quality independent gyms with artificially low membership rates and replace those gyms with a luke warm offering of gym equipment. It’s different because someone local is enabling the planet fitness cancer. If they wanted sympathy, they should have at least partnered…
