A lot of the articles in the earlier link have links within to additional sources many of them are links to court documents but some are needs stories like this one. https://www.newsweek.com/orgies-harassment-fraud-satanic-temple-rocked-accusations-lawsuit-1644042 obviously Newsweek isn’t great but I’m on Mobile atm and it’s the first one I found, I’m sure you can find more and from better sources in their article or a search and a lil time
Because TST is shit and can’t follow through on their promises and use the courts to go after dissenters.
Plenty of reading at https://queersatanic.com/articles/ but a pattern becomes visible pretty quickly.
City officials said they will continue to monitor the situation.
Great, that’s helpful. /s
Thanks for the link! Incredible
I’m going to need some reminding
Yay more ragebait from Washington Post editorial/opinion pieces!
That’s an assumption. 1 these aren’t all houses, some of these are small rooms. Looking the place up I’ve actually been there, some folks end up there for PT or hospice and I can tell you the place aint swank. 2 They could afford the 1.3K monthly fee they expected, sheeeet that’s about what I was paying for a one bedroom in the city in not a particularly great area and I didnt have the assisted living aspect that River Glen provides which I assume is the biggest cost. it’s not a surprise that they couldn’t handle it going up to $6K a month. can you handle your rent going up 300%? Also you gotta keep in mind these are olds. They probably bought their house back forever ago and with housing prices here, and from what it sounds like damn near everywhere, the value of their houses have just been going up like crazy. That doesn’t necessarily mean they have money, they probably sold their house or whatever and that’s how they managed to get that hefty down payment.
In the end in both scenarios they sunk what they had into a thing that was supposed to last them to the end, the didn’t have much left after that and now the terms of the agreement have changed and they can only pray the terms of the agreement don’t change further. I get not wanting to side with perceived rich people and prices vary by region. you can feel different about that if you want but they aint all that different of situations
Same area, st Charles and Elgin are one town apart. It’s been a while since I checked but I think $100k-200k would be the average house price in the area. I’m a little closer to the city than those burbs and tiny foreclosures that aren’t even up to code can be 200k.
So yeah that might be rich compared to some areas but for this area it’s not but all surprising.
This news are actually quite similar. You’ll find in both people investing heavily, most of their retirement savings, to establish themselves and then the management company or property owner jacking up the rent to the point where people can no longer live there and have to abandon their investment/retirement fund. Not too complicated of a comparison really.
Sam Zell was doing the same shit in the '00s (and still is) and even in the same area https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-2007-05-27-0705260052-story.html this one ended up with my grandmother losing her retirement plans she financing.
There’s always scams and they often target those most vulnerable who can’t fight back. You’d think there should be some protections or safety nets but gods of capitalism require blood sacrifices
That works. The local L trains running along side the highway in Chicago got me, seeing 5 trains roll by while barley moving in bumper to bumper gave me the final push to covert to public transit
That’s really fucked up, hopefully he’s not a teacher anymore
Had to find this post again to say thanks! I hadn’t heard of this one before but I’m now caught up and current. Great world building! At points it felt a little like shifting from one Shyamalan event to the next but it’s starting tie the various threads together and feels like a big payoff / culmination in the works. I haven’t consumed the most or much cyberpunk media but I do like the lack of sugar coating compared to the little else of the genre I have seen.
There are no humans on the internet
This reads like a highschool newspaper written by a reporter that hasn’t seen financial statements before and think they found a “gotcha”
gotta make the water hard too, doesn’t work without hard water
