This is indeed broadly true of rent-stabilized landlords in NYC when they lobby against things like rent freezes or low proposed annual increases. “Rising costs” in general audience stories about this almost always describe those as, like, maintenance or wages. But it’s mostly debt-servicing.
"owners of residential buildings pay most of their rent earnings not on maintenance or operations, but to service their debts to their creditors...they borrowed too much to buy...based on an expectation that rents would rise faster than they actually did." www.phenomenalworld.org/analysis/aft...

In Elmo’s World, behind the door that opens up to Mr. Noodle and his family, is a portrait of Elmo when he was three years old, and though Elmo himself has stopped aging, the portrait continues to fade and record every one of his sins.
It’s not a plot hole that Elmo has been 3 years old for 50 years. He was bitten by The Count, willingly. Elmo asked for the Dark Gift

Incredibly bold move, considering that Casey’s defense is such an obvious lie but what will happen when more files are released and it shows, like it has for every person who has claimed to have no relationship with Epstein, that it was more expansive than they said?
"LA28 says that with help from an outside legal firm, it conducted a review of Wasserman’s past interactions with Epstein and Maxwell, with Wasserman’s full cooperation: 'We found Mr. Wasserman’s relationship with Epstein and Maxwell did not go beyond what has already been publicly documented'"
LA28 board backs Casey Wasserman after Epstein files stir scrutiny

Ring’s national expansion closely tracked Amazon’s own established growth strategy: ignoring near term profit to secure platform dominance. It did this by subsidizing the devices through police-driven distribution (literally free giveaways for people willing to download its neighborhood snitch app)
They badly bungled this. There are many applications of this technology (Missing child! Missing dementia patient! Abusive ex-husband kidnapped the kids! Dzhokhar Tsarnaev!) that most people would likely support if they trusted the company not to abuse the tech. 1/2

Just seen a woman walk past with the beautiful Jil Sander wool coat that I wanted. She had it belted. Curly hair bouncing as she strode through the crowd. She was magnificent and it looked gorgeous on her. I was filled with so much rage and envy.
