Woke up to no hot water, so that derailed some plans, but going to try to get out in the garden (both to take advantage of the weather and to creep on the open house happening for the other half of our duplex)

You talk about how noble it is to defend "the weak, the children" ... I hope you understand that that's exactly what pro-life people think they are doing.

I understand that you and your mainline MDiv friend and some Reformed Jews have a different ontological position about what constitutes a human life... But my conservative MDiv friend and Orthodox Jew friends disagree with you about what a fetus 'is' ... Even if you don't believe in the Bible at all, you might consider that a fetus is a person and be concerned about that life being snuffed out.

I bet that "nearly $1,400" doesn't include the required payment of water, sewer, trash, security, and sometimes pest control fees. Listed "rent" is not what people actually pay in many apartment "communities."
Most people expect to pay for electricity, internet/cable, and gas (if present) separately. Not including the other fees in the listed rent price, especially those which are a set-amount monthly fee (not based on usage) is just false advertising to make the rental price appear lower than it is.

When people include these required fees when they talk about how much their apartment costs to rent, they aren't telling lies, they're telling the real truth.

Bass players! I’m clearing out some gear that I just don’t use enough to keep. Let me know if you want to see any pics, prices are negotiable.

GK Neo 212-ii $450 8 ohm / 600 watts RMS

Ampeg PF-800 $550 Used in a practice space, never really pushed hard.

Schecter Omen Extreme 4 in Black Cherry $450 Looks great, plays great, but I play 5 strings and already have too many.

…what?

Rightist Trumpian nonsense? No dude, i’m saying giant corporations are destroying the housing market, and they’re deliberately buying propagandist opinion-piece writers to say “corporations aren’t really the problem, people are scapegoating!!”

Pretty sure Trump (and every facet of the capitalist power structure) is pro-corporation. Also, don’t ever post an opinion piece calling it an article

I grew up in the Richmond area. I don't read any of the journals or surveys people are referencing. In the 1970s and 80s Richmond was a black majority city. Beginning in the late 1990s waves of people started moving here from NOVA and NY. Today Richmond is no longer a black majority city. Coincidence???
