Pro tip: wait for someone to show up before you argue with them. It looks less crazy that way.
Fun facts: crime was down last year, it's up this year. This year is 3 months long. A small sample still.

Just the concept of spending days to interview at this garbage company only to be laid off by them anyway? Just wow, no thanks, I'm not that dumb.

CPI includes housing.
Fair enough? It was a tangential outrage comment I threw out there, but it’s absolutely relevant. Monopolistic price fixing and artificial scarcity is occurring in the housing market and that is causing inflation (CPI increases if you prefer).

So they determine that with dice or darts? Are you sure they don’t determine that with market rates?

Yes but I didn’t know names, just half remembered the Washington Post article about the investigation. ProPublica does real good work.

I’m uninformed to cite an obscure antitrust lawsuit regarding rent increases nationally? Sure thing. You can just argue on the merits, but this is Reddit I suppose.

Lots of companies put themselves out of business for short term profit. But that’s not the case here.
Casual and entry level PC gamers have moved to laptops and used gear from crypto and one of those is temporary. Hell, Intel is entering the market from the bottom!
But also the top end of the market expanded as people found a new way to show off. Just like cars and TVs and houses etc. There’s no issue here. Different, not worse.

I think the key is that larger places are being sold as luxury condos, not rented.

Reply to comment by Gundea in Activation Lock is a great feature, but needs a rethink as 2020 Macs are turned into landfill by hugglenugget
Oh sure they can. Is it based on individual two factor authentication though, so a laptop for someone who was dismissed can’t be unlocked? I would assume that’s the issue for the M1 and newer laptops with fingerprint scanners. Can’t invite fired employees back to unlock, or remote employees, not worth the cost. They should resell them, but most won’t and in fact will pay to get rid of them securely, and to avoid corruption of an in-house team handling merchandise, basically.

Reply to comment by eatwearnest in What is the best close-ish city to visit for the first time? by MajesticBread9147
NYC I love for the food, the museums (natural history on the train line and the aircraft carrier) and Lady Liberty. Getting around is a real chore
Philly has a great car museum, some American history stuff and is doable for a day trip or on the way back from NYC so I would do both.

You do have to opt in, otherwise how would they push it?

I'm not saying I know everything about this situation - I don't care to spend time to research a product I don't own.
But if you're getting email/text notifications it's not secret.
