My landlord raised my rent $340.
I asked why.
"Market rate adjustment."
I googled my landlord.
He owns 34 properties.
Manages them through 3 LLCs.
Lives in a $1.3 million house.
Has never fixed my heating properly.
My rent increase is his mortgage payment on preperty number 35.
I am not a tenant. I am a revenue stream who gets to sleep here.
@Bran_nwn@Ma_WuKong The country lead by the Chinese Communist party is right wing economically? Do you just say an economy is right-wing when it is doing well? or is there an actual thought process behind this statement? Last time I checked communism was the furthest left economic system.
Ya se van notando las políticas de Milei en Argentina 🇦🇷
Así se ve ahora la ciudad de Rosario, tras 2 años y medio de libertad.
Los zurditos, calladitos 🤫
@kirawontmiss My grandma had to pay $750 out of pocket for the cheapest prescription glasses she could find because her capitalist insurance company wouldn’t pay for it, and the capitalist glasses company knows they can get away with charging whatever they want.
BREAKING: Iran has delivered its highly anticipated "10-point" response to the US' "15-point peace plan."
Iran's 10-point plan includes:
1. Guarantee that Iran will not be attacked again
2. Permanent end to the war, not just a ceasefire
3. End to Israeli strikes in Lebanon
4. Lifting of all US sanctions on Iran
5. End to all regional fighting against Iranian allies
6. In return, Iran would open the Strait of Hormuz
7. Iran would impose a Hormuz fee of $2 million per ship
8. Iran would split these fees with Oman
9. Iran to provide rules for safe passage through Hormuz
10. Iran to use Hormuz fees for reconstruction instead of reparations
President Trump's "deadline" for a peace deal with Iran is 25 hours away.
@ZaTk_21@HotSotin@JMilei Capitalism kills around 100 million every 5 years and that is actually accelerating. As people start starving in the global south it will be entirely because of northern capitalism that stole their resources and polluted their environments.
@GrindeOptions We have already declared victory like 25 times. It means nothing. Iran will fight this for years. They are quite literally prepared for a 10+ year war. We will either give up or go bankrupt fighting it.
Iran will lose war, U.S. will declare victory.
Oil will drop to around $60/barrel.
The Dow will surpass 50,000.
The S&P 500 will surpass 7,500.
Interest rates will be cut 3-4 times.
The 10 year interest rate will fall.
Unemployment will drop below 4%.
Republicans will win mid terms.
@cogatonline@UNDP Why is Israel, a nuclear armed country, worried about people accessing engine oil? Are they going to enrich uranium out of that engine oil?
If you’re going to make up lies like this then at least say they are smuggling bombs or something.
Humanitarian aid? Or fuel for terror?
Today at Kerem Shalom, security teams intercepted hundreds of bottles of engine oil,a restricted dual-use item, smuggled inside @UNDP crates.
Engine oil is a restricted dual-use item due to its documented exploitation of aid for terror purposes by Hamas. Until a full investigation is undertaken, all UNDP shipments are suspended effective immediately.
When we say security screening is necessary, this is why. We provide the corridors; we will not provide the cover for smuggling.
@FurkanGozukara We actually surpass them in many fields. For instance, we have significantly more school shootings and homeless people than they do. And our drug use rates blow them out of the water.
@ChickadeeChai@SawyerMerritt As a Tesla owner, I likely will never buy another new Tesla.
1). I am very disappointed in charging speed
2). I think their approach on FSD subscriptions is insane and I won’t pay a high monthly fee to use the things that my car can already do.
NEWS: BYD today unveiled its second-generation Blade Battery with "Flash Charging 2.0"
• LFP
• Peak charging speed: 1,500kW
• 20% to 97% charge in under 12 minutes, even at -20°C (-4°F)
• Charges 10% to 70% in 5 mins
• 5% higher energy density
• BYD has increased the guaranteed capacity retention rate by 2.5% and promised a lifetime warranty on the battery cells
• Delivers a driving range of up to 1,006 km (621 miles) on the (optimistic) CLTC cycle, an improvement from the ~600 km (373 miles) range in the first-generation Blade Battery. The new battery would likely mean a 450 mile range if tested on the EPA cycle.
• Ten BYD models will be the first to feature the battery
• The Yangwang U7, equipped with a 150-kWh battery pack, "achieves a pure electric range of 1,006 km, while the fully electric Denza Z9GT have a range of up to 1,036 km" on CLTC cycle.
BYD also aims to expand its "Flash Charging" network to 20,000 stations by the end of 2026, including 2,000 on highways. The company had built more than 4,000 stations as of March 5. However, keep in mind that in the past BYD has been slow to roll out promised ultra fast charging infrastructure expansion.
⚡️ Attack on Dubai: Explosions near Burj Khalifa
An Iranian missile landed in a prestigious area on the artificial Palm Jumeirah island.
The area is home to luxurious hotels popular with Russian tourists. One of them caught fire.
@wholemars Waymo just added 4 new cities in a single day without operators in the drivers seat. Meaning they are fully autonomous in 10 cities. I have fully lost hope in the Tesla Robotaxi.
