interesting how bigger players are able to negotiate discounts/preference when arguably they are more suited to not need the discount - whereas 15% could be the difference between bankruptcy and breakeven or ramen profitability for a s

absolutely this. whenever our PMs come to us with tenant requests for discounts and we (upper management) take a single look at their ledger of on-time and online payments, we immediately do a back of the napkin calculation of the cost of a

to give some context (depending on your rent) but anytime a landlord/PM has to place a new tenant, there are leasing fees/commissions (usually) that equate to between 1/2 to a full month's rent. so if your rent is $1000&

If I were a renter right now and in an urban area with a lease renewal coming due, I'd 1000% call the mgmt co's bluff. Context: my firm provides back office services to 50k+ rental units across the nation and unless you're in

"fake" is a subjective term and what I meant by fake was either substandard or direct knock offs of authorized manufacturers. we've been offered plenty of substandard "KN95" masks at <$0.10/mask. btw, any of

yeah, this is really tough. regardless of the merit of the claim, just having to defend against a suit sucks not only resources but just everything. the best I could do was get as much liability insurance I could to protect the LLC I create

what folks don't seem to understand is if a shipment gets stuck in customs (china or US), you're effectively out whatever that batch cost. a fellow importer has 300k masks stuck in Shanghai customs for over a month already...

by taylorhou 6y ago
there are lots of manufacturers in China that are producing for small children but none are certified. this is an area we are looking into sourcing for but due to there not being any sort of standard, it's very non-objective.

this has been extremely hard. there are a handful of testing labs in the US but they require 35 masks to test. outside of that, they require a 2+ week lead time and aren't local. if there are any engineers out there able to come up wit

ditto. we were importing masks from an FDA authorized manufacturer: Suzhou Sanical under their private label: Maskin Model 9015 and literally after delivering thousands of them, the CDC put out a PSA about FAKE Maskin masks. The boxes were

Trump 2020 only since it seems not enough people think we haven't learned sht and hell, think we are somehow a better country because of him. Let it burn and maybe AOC can start with a clean slate in 2024.

I feel like there are many more folks that would vote for Trump in spite of Biden "winning" the Democratic nod. 1000% agree that the next president is going to be left holding the bag of sht and get blamed for everything so might
