Why not? I own a house and I want to keep it to myself. I don’t want to deal with problematic tenants.

8%? Who came up with that? It’s at least 20%

A bit harsh but hey, respect their laws.

Italian family owned business. Ran the business like a mafia. Also people are just desperate for work during that time.

We need to take a closer look at China born Chinese that grew up in China. They are very likely Chinese nationalist. It’s complicated but a lot of these younger generations in China are so brainwashed to the point they truly believe they owe CCP/China.

They come to the US/west for economic/academic reasons. They might want to stay in the west but their heart and mind still loyal to China/CCP. They are so dumb that they can’t differentiate China!=CCP.

I think similar with their houses. While most houses in the US can last up to hundred years. It is common in Japan for houses to depreciate to worthless in a matter of a decade. So it’s common there to buy old house, demolish, and rebuild from scratch. Repeat after every 10 to 20 years.

The problem with Japan right now is that it’s in and heading toward decline. They can’t even sustain. Wage are low, price are high. They seriously need to relax on the immigration policy.

Crypto has no value…it’s pure speculation and hype. Coming from someone who owns bitcoin, eth, and others.

So there will be duplicate of the same subs? For instance, I found two personalfinance in two different instances. I found it counter effective having multiple subs of the same name.

You are not alone. This will be a road block for user growth.

Can someone explain what instance mean? Why are there different instances?

Native Americans were almost wiped out…not saying those who now came illegally and on welfare is cool.

Meta lost $40 billion in Metaverse. I wouldn’t call that smart. Facebook rebranding kept Facebook as a sub product of Meta. Elon should have done the same with Twitter by keeping Twitter as a product under X.

This happened back in 2012 when economy was suffering from the 08 market crash. I worked for a third party utility company. The kind that signs you up and rates go sky rocket high. Anyway, the firm hired a lot of data entry folks including myself. It was an interesting time because there were no jobs for many years. We have teachers, a chemical engineer, a stock trader, college students, personal trainer working at this dead-end minnimum wage job. There’s got to be 20 of us sitting in rows. The supervisor would sit at the far end facing us like how a classroom is set up. Like teach facing a bunch of students.

So they fired people for random things. One dude was fired for standing up to stretch his legs and decided it was better to stand and work at the same work. One lady was fired for using company internet to browse her class materials. And a lady for eating fish for lunch. She ended up causing a scene, and cop was called. She kept emphasizing how the boss has a small genital. One day, this dude under me sensed it was his time. He’s been warned by the supervisor for not sitting up straight. And also he thought him being black and the previous two ladies fired were black meant he is next. So next day, he didn’t show up. I stayed for a while and left without a job prospect in line.

My old schedule were wake up at 7:10. Out the door by 7:40. Be at the office by 9:00ish. The most painful part if not the 90 min train ride but the 25 stops… I counted those stops for 5 years.

They are here but no sign of life.

Just like X will never replace Twitter. That was a weird rebranding tbh. Meta at least makes some sense.

Doesnt sound like you know the outer boroughs that well if you think we need cars in Broolyn. Brooklyn as a whole is very well covered with subway and bus lines. You simply don’t need a car in Broolyn. Queens on the other hand is different. Although majority of the population in Queens has access to subway, a good chunk of the territory has limited access to subway lines. They can rely on public bus but that’s not always convenient. For those parts of Queens, I agree, you MIGHT need a car. Even staten island has its own subway line and busses. Most people on Staten Island has a car because it’s just more convenient to get out of the island.
