I’m far from a “the free market solves all!” Type of person, but this is more likely due to government intervention, with zoning laws that restrict the density that can be built in certain areas, rather than a problem with the the free market run amok.

Like it’s insane that nearly 40% of the land in San Fran is zoned for single family. This is government doing, not the free market.

We need more housing to alleviate the problem. But what we also need is a mindset shift of the everyday person that they aren’t getting a 3k sqft house on an acre of land.

I don’t think I’ve ever heard this…I’ll probably check it out

The problem with this garbage type of reporting is that you can create any narrative you want. Social media is so big that it’s not hard to find a handful of posts, like what is being posted in their story, saying almost anything you need them to. Always going to be some insane person in some corner of the internet saying something completely batshit.

The article is really “we found some people on social media saying these things” and it’s being framed as “maga meltdown.” It’s fucking garbage.

I agree that social media has a large influence, but how does garbage journalism like this do anything other than add more fuel to the fire of “traditional media is now trash”?

I wouldn’t be surprised if they don’t, but I’m not as confident as you are, as the committee is split 5/5 and there are republicans calling for its release. Additionally, we’re two years out from any election, so they have a bit more freedom to act on their conscience rather than just bow before Trump.

However, none of this changes the fact that this article is about them meeting to discuss whether to release it. Something that is happening.

They are meeting to decide whether or not to release the report. This is quite literally something that is happening.

The mamas and papas make me want to punch myself when I hear them.

Maybe other than getting shit-faced and coming home at 8am, everything you describe has been something humans have been dealing with forever. We can make it work again.

I also totally agree with you, I don’t want to go back. . . I just understand that I have to pay for that privilege. lol

Your link is Clinton saying she won’t say before the primary is over whether she would support Sanders. It’s not even her saying she wouldn’t do it, let alone all liberals saying it.

The amount of disinformation spread here is amazing.

Multigenerational homes, or living with a bunch of people, was the norm until less than a hundred years ago. It was only a brief period of time of immense economic and technological growth that we saw people living independently in large numbers. We’re just watching a regression back to the mean. And I don’t know how we avoid it with a growing population, and not everyone wanting or willing to live in a city.

On Friday, Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson said he plans to request that the ethics panel does not release its report, saying that because Gaetz is no longer in Congress doing so would be a “terrible breach of protocol.”

This is the best part of the article, where Mike Johnson, a big supporter of the man who is all about breaking norms, all of a sudden cares about “breaches of protocol,” especially in a case where the guy obvious left congress to hide it, likely because he knew he was going to be tapped for this position.

This is the beauty of being a conspiracy theorist, it gives you free reign to believe anything you want.

Evidence comes out that someone you support has done something bad? “It’s a set up and/or manufactured! Where’s the proof!?” Same evidence comes out that someone you oppose has done something bad? “See! I told you so. When will people start listening to me!?! Of course it’s real because I think they are running defense for this person.” No evidence evidence exists for your theory? “((They)) are very good at hiding it!” Evidence that kind-of-sort-of-almost-supports-your-claim-if-you-look-at-it-at-just-the-right-angle-in-just-the-right-light (but not really, it just is vaguely similar) supports something you said earlier. “HA! i told you.”

You can always view/ignore the facts in such a way to confirm your position, if the facts are secondary to the narrative.

OP says everyone just wants to have a good life, you come in an intentionally antagonize people. It’s pretty clear who missed the point.

Regular doors with handles don’t fail open, there is just an Intuitive and common way to manually open them, which seems like the short coming here.

I thought it all came out in some deposition. Where did he brag about it?

I’m not sure why someone getting sick would disqualify them from the role.

It’s his batshit crazy conspiracy theories about vaccines, among other things, that disqualify him.

Y’all get infuriated (even if only mildly so) at some of the weirdest shit. This is just funny.

They say the same thing about the BLM protests.

The worst part about this is that it will take 20 years for the damages of this to become really apparent, and the dumb fucks who voted for trump will just blame whoever is currently in charge. Or claim that Democrats have some kind of disease gun.

Oh, I went full Jesus during the pandemic, with long hair and let my beard grow out. . .and it just never made up for the fact that I have literal bald patches throughout it. . .I almost needed a comb over on my beard it was so pathetic.

That, and I have seborrheic dermatitis, and growing a beard makes it flair up and it seems the only way to get rid of it is for me to shave when it happens. And then I just have a red face which is no good.

Better for me to just stay clean shaven. lol

Interesting…what do you think is better about the safety razor? I could never really get the hang of them.
