Yep, it certainly is, but hardly anyone ever talks about it, especially not in mainstream media. Why? Because the ones doing it, i.e. the corporations, own the media. They’re not going to tell on themselves. Instead they’ll gaslight and lie about supposedly “rampant” retail theft that is nowhere near as widespread as they like to claim and constantly report. And gullible people believe them because it’s on the news, it must be real, right?

I wouldn’t be surprised if FB/Meta tried to just settle out of court and pay them off.

Has he been to an office before? Just because you’re in an office doesn’t mean you’re “working hard.” Lots of people do random web browsing, online shopping, etc., while at work and on the clock. Typical belief of old timers. They think your presence at a desk is somehow a magical indicator of a hard worker.

Born 1969, he might as well be a Boomer, cause he sure acts like one. The early Gen X cuspers, of which he is one, are basically just younger Boomers IMO. Or Xoomers if you prefer. Dude sounds like a giant POS and can GTFO.

True, though usually they mean the sane thing in listings.

Musk is such a dumbass. He thinks all he has to do to rename it to X is change the logo, do a domain redirect, and change the name in less than 1% of the places it needs to be changed. Most large companies would have all this in place before going live with it.

Unless there’s more shown than in that photo, that’s a not a 1 BR, that’s a studio. And a crappy and overpriced one at that.

I mean if they got everything they wanted, that’s great, but I think the country as a whole would, in the long term, benefit from them striking anyways. Why? Because those in power think they’re immune to consequences for their actions. They think they hold all the power and can do whatever they want whenever they want. The only way other than a revolution to take some of that power back is for a massive general strike unlike this country has ever seen before.

National median rent is something like ~$1,500-$1,900 depending on what source you use. Every place I’ve rented required 3 times rent to qualify. That means you need to earn $4,500-$5,700/month gross or $54,000-$68,400/year gross or ~$26-$33/hour if working 40 hours/week. Federal minimum wage is still $7.25. I believe the median income is around $66,388/year, so while some can afford it, yes, many can’t, 2/3rds of the country is living paycheck to paycheck right now.

Yes, percentage wise there’s not a lot of people on minimum wage compared to those who aren’t, but this doesn’t account for people who make more than minimum wage but still don’t make enough to afford rent. People shouldn’t have to live with family, friends, or random roommates to afford housing.

That’s not how society is supposed to function. We make individuality a big thing in this country yet we refuse to let a portion of society be individuals by pricing them out of things like having their own place. Society is supposed to make things better for everyone, not a select in group and then fuck everyone else.

Also artificial scarcity is a thing. Those who can provide more goods or services choosing not to to drive up prices.

Searches for things online by typing it as a post on social media instead of using a search engine as in: “Google what is the weather like today near me?”

Wait, you’re telling me grass doesn’t look this way naturally?
