Damage deposits are capped. It is not hard for an irresponsible renter to do way more damage than a deposit can cover.

Damage is what damage deposits are for, and Seattle allows pet damage deposits.

Can you cite what laws you are talking about. The one being discussed here does not seem to target small landlords, but big predatory ones. There aren't any additional fees or inspections and compliance is as simple as only charging on

Yes, absolutely. It isn't that every pet causes more damage as a rule, its that very frequently pets do damage that is quite expensive. Urine can require floor and subfloor replacement. I've seen dogs chew through walls, etc. Pets

To be clear: You don't think it is desirable to be able to do what you want with your own property? If you can't allow property rights then there is no way to steelman people exercising property rights.

I’m arguing against the practice of leveraged buyouts. You aren’t describing all of the steps of a leveraged buyout. You are just describing a buyout. Buyouts are fine. Leveraged buyouts are what I think is not. I cannot be more clear or ke

How would that be an example of what I described? If you are putting the debt on a shell company’s books, you aren’t putting debt on the buying companies books.

Is that not just a subset of this: > The steelman argument is that private equity is just property rights. If I build a business I get to decide what to do with it.

Private equity just means controlling a company outside of the public stock markets, it is incredibly broad, and covers everything from blackrock buying every vets office in an area, to a plumber buying out another plumber when they want to

That the buying company keeps the debt on their books instead of offloading it onto the company that they bought.

I don’t have a problem with privately owned clinics, but I do think it should have to be majority owned by the operators. What percentage of that 45% is just doctors that run their own office vs. investment firms.

Axon, formerly known as TASER did a reputational name change. Worth mentioning that they are also a flock competitor, but they are not in the headlines anymore.

I live near some storage facilities, and a significant number of them are rented by businesses. Go to one of theses facilities at 7 am, and you will almost always see a few contractors packing the truck with whatever they need for the day.

Recycling dropoff is normally free in North America. Waste that cannot be recycled is typically charged by weight for the cost of disposal at waste facilities. You can visit either as often as you like, but will pay to have your garbage dis

There's aesthetic reasons (I'm proud of my car, I like it to look nice), and practical reasons (Leaving mud, grit, salt etc, will wear and corrode my car faster). Where I live, summer rain doesn't really clean the car (if tha

The problem in the US is that the "photography in public" right, and expectation of privacy rules are deeply entwined with the first amendment. You have to deal with the practicality of what is most likely the most universally pop

The issue is that when conditions do not allow they actively increase fuel consumption through windage, maneuverability loss, air draft increases and extra weight. They also increase costs through increased maintenance needs and crew traini

Not in my memory has that changed, but many of these brands offer off the shelf stuff as well, its just that if you are spending that much money most customers would rather pick a fabric than have it picked for them. If anything, there is m

Ah. I thought you were saying that Canada's pivots outside the US were anti trump bluster. No idea about the EU side rhetoric, but it may not be bluster considering that Canada has huge potash and oil/gas reserves that could repla

by dghlsakjg 10d ago
Bluster has a connotation of empty threats and loudness for the sake fo loudness. Canada has been making real moves, and doing it quietly. In the past year non-US exports have grown by a record 11%. New trade and defense deals have been sig

I would argue that Ikea sells a spectrum of quality. Much of their cheap stuff is priced according to quality. Much of their expensive stuff is too. I have some of their more expensive solid wood furniture and it is really quite nice. I hav

Where do you live and what is "not cheap" to you? In the US there is Flexsteel, Stickley, Herman Miller, Hooker, Bradington Young and many more. Even La-z-boy makes decent quality. Expect a lower end sofa from these companies to b

Canada does not want to join the E.U. as a full member and that is not what is being offered. Canada very much is not “blustering” when it comes to Trump. A big majority of Canadians see sovereignty and less reliance on the US as a massive

Do you have any sources that aren’t right wing publications from a country whose right wing is actively working against Canada and the E.U.? US publications as a whole, and especially those on the right consistently miss the mark on Canadia

What they're describing is that TVs had consumable items in the circuitry. It isn't possible to have had a TV without tubes. Tubes were basically really fancy lightbulbs and had a finite life. No amount of quality could make consu

Something to be said for places like Costco that has an absurdly generous return policy (are they the only major retailer left that does this? REI used to, but they got rid of it). I believe Costco requires their vendors to eat the return i

I think a better term might be a “steered economy”. You see fierce competition in some very specific and preordained market areas. Lithium batteries, solar panels, electric cars, industrial and autonomous robots, AI. Now go look at the 5 ye

I’m not nearly that generous with my opinion. An alternate read is that the entrenched leaders want to slow down development of competitors. If Dario or Sam A wants to slow down frontier model development because they believe there is an ex
