The only link between organized retail crime and any other illicit activity is money. If a group is into organized retail crime, chances are they are into other illegal money making schemes, as well. That doesn’t mean the different activiti

I’m worried about the 10,000,000x version which may emerge organically at some point in time.

If this is not worth it for you (maybe it is because of amenities), couldn’t you just buy a place closer to where your parents live?

As a TSA-precheck member, I’ve never felt like part of the ruling class until today. Bow before me and tremble!

You are correct. The parent’s home plus some assets of two other individuals probably totaling a max of $5 million but nowhere close to $250 million - which was a stupid amount to set in the first place. Either require a reasonable bond amo

Idk, this article seems hopelessly naive. So, the author would essentially like to go back in time to a less morally ambiguous internet when people (i.e. techies and nerds) had engaging, thoughtful, and respectful conversations where each e

I don’t believe the goons would be operating on the principle of your moral right to the furs, rather they would be taking the more practical approach of believing you can provide them with a better quality of life than the next guy (and th

If the bodyguards had the ability to expropriate greater quantities of wealth, they wouldn’t be bodyguards.

Sure you can overpower me and steal everything I have - once. Or you can join me and I’ll provide you a better living than those others for the rest of your life.

As a group expands in size, don’t the opportunities for an individual to amass wealth, and then translate that to power, also increase significantly?

My peasants do net fairly sizable tax revenue (largely in sheep, some gold as well) but I would hardly call that “passive”, what with all the galloping around the countryside with my pikemen and all!

Aka, let me introduce you to why the Democrats are going to get pummeled in the upcoming midterms.

Yeah, I can imagine if it’s for a legit reason (especially in a hot market like the other poster pointed out), the seller would probably try to work something out. I would feel like a jerk if I took someone’s $10K and then turned around and

This would simply drive rents up across the board. Unintended consequences are the primary result of punitive tax measures.

But you’re sacrificing the flexibility of renting. While I agree the benefits of home ownership far outweigh long term renting, there are some trade-offs.

It is not a fundamental human need to live in a super cute townhome in a hot walkable neighborhood near lots of other people you’d like to socialize with. If you want free housing, it’s out there, just not where you want it.

If you’re waiting for a progressive zoning plan which incentivizes enough building to naturally bring down housing prices in Toronto, you will be dead before that reasonably priced home becomes available.

You can still back out of the deal but you will typically forfeit your deposit or earnest money (sometimes in the $10’s of thousands). But I hear you with the seller’s market - we just purchased a couple homes in the Austin area, bid signi

Reminds me of my first year in college. A big group of us all thrown into a wild party town, on our own for the first time, learning about ourselves and each other. Only it wasn’t centered around alcohol, it was centered around crystal meth

That’s why they should consider annexation by Maryland.

The only people who say this are Democrats who want another (presumably) safe democratic state in DC. My city doesn’t share the same “identity” as the city next to me, but nobody’s clamoring to break up the state.

Well, she’s not a communist but her ideas about the federal government taking over and centrally directing all fiscal activities would make Hugo Chavez blush.

I’ve asked myself this about many Biden appointees. He seems to be using identity politics to select political appointees rather than any sort of experience or qualifications.
