Renting a house is like renting a car except unlike a car the property increases in value constantly and every time it's time to renegotiate your terms the owner wants more money not less.

Buy a house for $200,000 renovate and fix it up make it multiple family building for $150,000 more then then rent out 4 apartments for $1500 each per month.

Frankly lots of companies just buy that house fix it up enough to call it livable and rent it out for $2000 a month.

That means someone works for 3 weeks and hands the wages to the landlord then survives off the scraps.

Idk he did the biggest crime possible in the us.

He stole from the rich.

You sell computers for $300.

You spend $200 on the computer.

So you make $100 per computer.

You sell 10. So you made $1000.

You drop price to $250.

You sell 30 computers now.

You made $1500 this time.

Companies find the point where their product maximizes profit. You can't sell for less than $200 or you make $0. But if you sell more than $300 almost no one buys any so you make no money.

Some companies will try a loss leader which is a product sold for a loss but you end up buying other stuff when there. Like if McDonald's sold a 8 piece nuggets for $.50. They might lose money but they are getting most people get fries and a drink while there as well so they make money.

For computers and computer parts most items are way cheaper at the OEM level. Dell pays significantly less for parts than you will pay. Things like windows 11 will cost almost nothing to them compared to retail purchasers.

No one wants to see your feet.

And it's unsanitary for you.

Also if this is about indoors it's to protect you from stuff on the floor. If s small shard of glass is on the floor you might cut your foot and then it's super unsanitary for everyone including you.

Just don't be barefoot outside areas you should be barefoot.

The effort put forth seemed pretty minor which is expected since Spanish flu was ravaging the planet and this all happened during/right after world war 1. No one wanted to actually war with communist right after fighting Germany for 4 years.

I work at Amazon.

There is a big automation push. It's expensive. Buildings are getting multimillion dollar automation lines that won't see a "break even" in terms of investment for years.

Like 15 workers get replaced by a 2 million dollar retrofit.

That's when you say ok nationalize any assets in the name of national defense.

Make sure you guys in Winnipeg buy your gallons of gas and put sugar in them early

Does that mean I'd I change the colors I can claim it's the puerto Rican flag ?

It's going to be purple.

Yea but most of us not only don't have that kind of money but couldn't even get that amount in a loan.

If I sold everything I had maxed out my credit cards and made applications for a few more I doubt I'd have 100k.

Doesn't help phones are just the worst interface for gaming.

Your hands. Cover the screen and it's never accurate enough.

So send them back armed. There is no fucking way the entire border is being watched.

Eh they are causing these issues because they are shorting the lines.

Odds of surviving that have to be low.

Birds don't have this issue because they only sit on 1 line. If they could hypothetically reach over to one of the other lines you would have fried bird

The us should just bomb them.

It's their property. They own it

Call forth bomb king and tear out the new raider

Is this the plant scientist think was used as birth control ? Amazing if so

Iirc in peasant times all these were paid holidays basically.

The average person who works 40 hours a week works significantly more hours a year than they would have as a peasant.

Salt makes the melting point of water/snow lower.

So salt water needs to be less than 32f/0c to freeze.

You put salt on snow to melt it because cold water is less dangerous than snow.

You do the same icecream makers on the outside with ice. This is because it's better to have the colder than ice water than ice which has air pockets between the ice and the bowl

The event horizon is the edge of a black hole.

Black holes exert gravity.

The move gravity in an area the slower time travels.

Technically this means if you could chill out next to a black hole for a few days you could come back to earth but it will be years ahead here.

Uh like an actual circle jerk?

It's when a group of people form a circle and masturbate. This also includes when a group of people form a circle and jerk the other person usually to their right.

Circle jerking on reddit is usually the phenomena where reddit comments will breed reddit comments agreeing if it isn't countered quickly enough. You see this a lot in terms of fanboyism or random hatred

Example is how everyone on reddit is hostile to Fortnite, ea games, and Activision. Going so far as to make stuff up about these games and companies.

The circle jerk there is how everyone joins in and beats the dead horse.

Lines weren't even long.

The longest line we stood in was 1 person deep. Walmart we literally walked to self checkout and was done in a few seconds because we only had a few things.

Yea people spout the same shit on reddit repeatedly about black Friday but it is objectively the cheapest time to buy a lot of different things.

I bought some gaming stuff for the cheapest prices they have ever been. And I did my yearly purchase of a year supply of shampoo and body wash that I like. 12 bottles for $80.

Because Amazon has everything.

I work at an Amazon and honestly it isn't half as bad as people say but I don't work in a fullfillment center which I hear is worse

They aren't paid enough but frankly the job is near brain dead and while it is physical it's not absolutely balls to the wall physical like construction jobs can be.

They should get paid more though but the entire delivery part of Amazon bleeds money. Which is why they are pushing automation so hard now. They need to cut huge percentages of the work force to make money on that aspect of the business.

It won't happen but I hope the automation means less workers but they get paid more. Frankly their biggest waste on money is how many managers they have tracking other people or metrics or dumb shit like that. My building had like 50 people working. But there was like 8 managers and 3 PAs not including the safety manager and HR person.

This also doesn't include the other portion of the business my building does where they load vans, get returns, etc.

They could probably cut half the managerial force if they cut all the bullshit metrics and crap they do.

Like get this. They are allocated hours worked for different tasks. So if something happens like, the dock runs slower than it should. They can't just add inductors/loaders to bring it up even if the people are there. If stowers aren't going fast enough in a certain lane they can't send more people over to help, they have to switch them out. Because they don't have the hours allocated.

The dumb part about that situation is if the stowers are doing great and dock is slow they can't drop a stow worker and send them to the dock because they aren't allocated hours for that. So someone will twiddle there thumbs in stow path rather than be allowed to help the dock.

It's a constant battle to add and remove people. It's a constant battle to labor track. It's a constant battle to do the weird crap managers do "insta cleans, 5s projects" and crap like that.

I told the managers yesterday they should grab a bag and start inducting packages by hand to get done early for Thanksgiving. I knew they couldn't but it would have gotten the job done even faster so everyone could go home even earlier than they did

Ap is one of the better news sources I doubt fox or most other media would fire journalist for the story.

If only covid wasn't a road map for easy to do mail in votes.

You should get your vote form in the mail. Check a few boxes for who you want. And put it back in your mailbox.

That is how voting should be. The only other step is you should be able to check online that it was accepted and look at what your vote counted toward.
