@realEstateTrent I get it. It's literally the first thing everyone sees as they walk into the building, especially in a place like NYC. $2K is actually short money for anything these days (assume there are a lot of people contributing).

I suggested that if each resident chipped in $2k toward a lobby remodel, our unit values would increase by at least 10x that.
The room erupted with uncontrollable screams, and one guy literally fell out of his chair in pure anger.
Welcome to HOA!
StripMallGuy@realEstateTrent
How can a Homeowners Association possibly be qualified to manage a $100,000,000 real estate asset? Reality is, getting involved with my HOA was one of the stupidest decisions I’ve ever made, and the entire HOA system needs to be completely overhauled from scratch. They especially can’t stand the real estate folks, and you make instant enemies for making an actual intelligent suggestion.

@unlimited_ls I've seen so many foolish people on those e-bikes. I'm sorry she lost her son but all too often it's no helmet, no respect for the traffic, and no trying to pay attention. Worst of all is the lack of lights on these e-bikes.

🚨NEW: Florida mother whose son died in an e-motorcycle crash is now pushing lawmakers to fully ban e-bikes and e-scooters for children under 14
Colton Remsburg, 13, was riding his e-bike when he was struck and killed by a pickup truck. He was not wearing a helmet and was not in a marked crosswalk
Colton’s mother, Ashley LaChance, is now urging lawmakers to ban these e-bikes/e-motorcycles for kids under 14
Since December 1, there have been 41 crashes involving e-bikes and scooters in Orange County that resulted in injuries
The Orange County Sheriff’s Office is finalizing a new e-bike ordinance that would allow deputies to issue citations and even impound them for repeated violations

@BoreGuru And staffed with family members. Was at a hotel near Allentown PA airport everyone, including the cleaning staff was Indian. Cleaning team was all senior citizens.

80% of the hotels in the USA are owned by Indians and it was done with US Small Business Association loans.
Oilfield Rando@Oilfield_Rando
Just tried to call a local hotel, not a chain. After a long hold, someone in India answers. Tells me I need to call the hotel front desk. Gives me the number I just called. Our country can’t survive without this, you see.

Maybe San Francisco would work also. But I'd much rather be homeless in LA than Seattle.

NEW: Spencer Pratt fires back at reporter after he was asked about his plan for the homeless, says they will all end up in Seattle. Reporter: "What are your plans for the over 40,000 homeless in Los Angeles?" Pratt: "Well, they're not homeless, they're drug addicts... These people have been bused in by scam rehabs, scam NGOs, scam homeless nonprofits." "These people, when I unplug them ... they're all going to Seattle, where the mayor will welcome them."

@DutchRojas Ran into this years ago when my son was having necessary but not urgent surgery. Asked "how much" they couldn't give me an answer and just said it's my deductible. No, "how much does this cost?" I finally gave up.

A Mom in Tulsa called 3 health systems last week asking the price of her son's tonsillectomy.
Health system A: "We cannot quote you a price."
Health system B: "Pricing depends on your insurance."
Health system C: "Our financial counselor will reach out after the procedure."
No other industry in America gets to operate this way.
Imagine ordering at a restaurant and getting the bill six weeks after dinner.

Now Ukraine is killing Russian wreckers recovering broken down or damaged trucks.
Pithing out battle damage and repair capability along with fuel trucks collapses truck logistics very quickly.
Ukraine is focused on the attrition loss rate curve like a laser.😍

There are now enough drones over the Russian land corridor to Crimea for operators to coordinate their actions for joint attacks on priority targets. Which is good.

Interesting point - growing up in Silicon Valley it was true that anyone who was smart, had a great idea, and worked hard enough had a shot at being wealthy. Or at least upper middle class.
Dr. Josh C. Simmons@drjoshcsimmons
Tech was one of the last paths into the upper middle class without family money, credential laundering, or nepotism. Now those jobs are disappearing too. That is why the layoff story matters beyond tech.

Lots of whining and bitching on the local town FB pages about the school system. Know what I'm complaining about? Hardly anyone shows up to SB meetings, only 20% of the voters showed up at town elections this year.
Whining is easy, fixing things is hard.

This is brutally simple and yet effective.

LA - is probably the only city in the world where creatives that like you can generate ads that go viral with millions of views - so good your opponents don’t even realize it’s not you they’re fighting anymore. @Hotshot_Movie, Pratt’s content director, has pushed back on the “AI” critique of his insanely viral campaign (and his hapless opponents…) - while @Rightanglenews details a clip of the Pratt team using pressure-washed stencils to drive home the ‘clean up this city’ point. Campaigns are hard. If this guy can run LA half as well as he’s running this campaign, the city is in luck. So is everyone in places like Canada who have lived with the grotesque urban decline from this corrupt ‘safe supply’ NGO grift - and had to watch, with their kids, the publicly-drugged slow-motion suicide of thousands with mental health problems. Here’s to the hope this Pratt campaign has ignited again that good ideas - well communicated - can prevail over really bad ones….

There is a lot packed in here. But this is actually great - and the newscaster now joining the SoS as a meme has handled her newfound fame with grace and humor.

Indian tourists in Thailand cause other groups not to go
I run a travel account. I can’t tell you how many people now say they’re going to avoid Thailand because of Indians

Making $50K/yr at Air Canada
Bought a G-Wagon.
$1000 champagne.
Ritz in Dubai.
🤣🤣🤣
Ya bro, something ain’t adding up.
JayGen 𝕏 er🇨🇦@JayGenXer
✈️ Air Canada employee Parmpal Sidhu is facing charges in a massive airport drug-smuggling ring. While working a warehouse job that pays around $50k a year, he was posting Instagram flexes from the Ritz-Carlton Dubai, flying business class, driving a Mercedes G-Wagon, sipping $1,000 champagne, and showing off high-powered rifles at the range. This is how drugs are allegedly being smuggled through Canadian airports — by insiders living like kings on the proceeds. The case is still before the courts, but the pictures don’t lie. This is what “speeds never seen before” looks like under the Liberals: record smuggling, open borders, and zero accountability. How many more insiders are on the payroll? Drop a 🔥 if you’re sick of this. #CDNPoli #AirportSmuggling #BorderSecurity #CarneyFail

Imagine being so tone deaf as Mayor to think you can run as an incumbent with such a poor record that a reality show guy is beating you in both the polls and the fundraising.

Spencer Pratt says all of LA is angry with Karen Bass's failures, and "we're done with this." At a recent campaign event, he added a BBQ station because "that's part of LA" and "we're never going to ban barbecues." "I would never make barbecues illegal, but what I would make illegal are vagrant fires under freeways and next to buildings because 84% of the fires are not from people's backyard barbecues," Pratt explains. He's "too pumped" by all the support he's receiving. from people who approach him, saying, 'Thank God for somebody who's fighting these people.'
