No, they're mad that someone who bought property is exercising their right to use it in the way they want.

Then it's incumbent upon the owners of the building to get it into a condition where it can sell to someone else who will use the property. Church Brew Works came about because someone purchased the building and poured money into it to turn it into what it is today. It didn't happen by accident.
If they're closing because they can't fund almost $2M in renovations, it's not likely that they're gonna throw on a fresh coat of paint before the For Sale sign goes up. So the responsible thing to do would be demolition, instead of letting it sit there, rot, and become an eyesore that Bloomfield needs to deal with.

I hope it does get torn down. It would be a nice ending to this chapter of "people are important, not places" and "Catholic churches are a reminder of childhood sexual abuse for those who suffered it."
If the church closes, it's someone else's problem to deal with, and I'm not keen on any amount of public money being spent on preserving a religious building.
Tear it down, move on.

It's not a scam, but a sales tactic that still works wonderfully well here, considering we have a large population of elderly people/redditors.
Can't be scammed if you never open the door!

That itchy rash you have under your armpit is because you won't admit that you love a good Papyrus sign on the living room wall.

Their methodology is weak because the conditions they're claiming to research aren't present by the very nature of their test.
Running an engine for 100 consecutive hours isn't "carbon buildup because fuel is present in the cylinder after the engine is off" which is the entire reason detergents were invented.

Is it, though?
The one I'm looking at, right now, was purchased from a Home Depot within this decade. Right from the rack, not in an alley.
I'm super happy for everyone who can breathe a sigh of relief, I guess, but this is kinda like learning that your favorite font now has a sans serif variant.

No one should EVER "thank" a gig company like Uber. There are far worse things that can happen other than being "fired" by a company that doesn't give a shit about you.

I drove in high school and my place refused to deliver to anywhere that wasn't a hotel front desk. No homes, no businesses, nothing other than the 5-ish hotels in the area. Best delivery gig ever, because they were all within eyeshot of each other, gas was cheap at the time, and people on vacation tip well.

You're a gig worker commenting about the exact conditions that allow you to make a wage, and you feel bad - but not that bad - about it?
If you're not cool with the possibility of race dictating how quickly someone's pizza is delivered, then maybe don't deliver pizza?

I kept an 88 Ford Taurus with well over 200k miles on it alive for years, and never once had a fuel issue. Back in the 90s.
With the amount of complaining people do about gas prices, I'd wager they'd do the same thing if a particular gas station's brand was known for causing the damage you're trying to avoid. I don't see these news stories. I'm not saying it doesn't happen, but you clearly drank someone's Kool-Aid.
BTW, your article is a study done by AAA (a for-profit enterprise) and published in Consumer Reports (also a for-profit enterprise) - if you'd like an honest and unbiased paper, read something from a scientific journal. Consumer Reports is a literal advertisement rag that is willing to shill for whoever pays. There's a reason it's on your Nonna's coffee table.

So the Milwaukee Fastback knife that I've been using for years has been illegal? It's got a tiny lever on the side and moving it slightly makes the blade spring open.

This is gonna sound dumb, but is the single thing that made that knife illegal the button that released the blade?
Because I've got a workbox full of these things, so I'm really not sure what the excitement is about.

Ask a minority that's been evicted on this basis if it's ever been enforced, because yes it most certainly has, especially when a shitty landlord can't figure out another way to get someone kicked out.

Describe what you need and what you're expecting by "renting" plants, because, to be honest, my house is full of them, and this autumn I was talking about renting space to keep them all.
