Got turned down on a piece about ICE in Chicago for an international news org because they believed I couldn’t be objective about my neighbors getting kidnapped. And well, guilty as charged I guess.

A single person making $82,000 a year should not need a subsidized apartment. A family making $117,000 should be able to buy a home.
We need to build more homes until median rent is less than 30% of median monthly income and median home prices are less than 4x median annual income.

Slow bankruptcy rather.
Prop13 wouldn’t be entirely evil if it was just for a human persons life, had a max benefit ffs, and got applied evenly.
I know folks who inherited $4M So Pas mansions who’ve seen way under 1% since ‘80, while others in modest homes get a straight 1.95% every single year.

Some triple secret security stuff
We can’t do it currently cause of infra limitations. Ie each notification is a manual email right now and can’t include screenshots etc… that’s shifting to a new system. Hopefully in the new year. Until then users can write in and we send them back the text of their infraction for individual posts.

When will his role as front man for nonprofits that ran line-of-credit scams ever be investigated?
Also, the HHS Secretary sold cocaine in college and was a heroin addict for 14 years so it is RICH whenever they go after people for old drug offenses.
Even if you don’t care about people who use drugs - you really should care about other people - they will still just lie that you are a person who uses drugs when they want other people not to care about you

it's not that i ever doubted that being a barista was a skilled position, but my year-long effort to try to produce a half-decent latte at home has convinced me that a good barista is easily more skilled than virtually every c-suite executive on the planet
