Most of them will accept slightly lower rents to keep the property occupied constantly.
They might, but Demand is high enough in California they’re still raising rates. Demand doesn’t change because of this. Supply doesn’t change. But the amount of available cash that a rents has will have changed, which means the market will change accordingly.
If people aren’t living lay heck to paycheck, afraid of where the next meal comes from
You’re not solving the problem of the UBI being eaten up by what they already have to pay for as everything just gets a bit more pricy.
You have this VERY strange idea of what a landlord is. A landlord’s needs are already met, that’s why he has multiple properties.
… and it’s not a trivial difference. A Stimulus check is NOT UBI, it’s limited in who gets it, and it’s a one time payment, so it’s quickly spent whether on needs or wants, and then it’s gone. UBI is a ongoing payment meaning that the market will adjust to the new money everyone has every month. So you can’t compare the two. well you can but you just look foolish… which you’re doubling down on.
It’s not pedantic to point out that one time payments and continual payments change everything in different ways, but absolutely change the market in different ways… If you think that you might need to go back to school and get a basic economics class.
And you burn bridges pretty quickly.
Listen, I get the modern mentality of “If women don’t want to date you who cares if you scare them away.” but having friends is more important to dating someone so maybe building a social network is better than just rushing to date every girl you meet. Besides if a guy has no female friends, probably
If the other person thinks it’s just a friendly hang and you abruptly context switch into a sexual/romantic thing,
Yeah the key is you don’t treat it as a sexual/romantic thing at first, if you’re both interested, there will be SOME clue or at least get to know her first., rather than trying to date her immediately. This isn’t a speed run competition, you can take some time to get to know people.
There was 8 years where I “tried to be clear”… guess what, I ended up with 1 female friend because most women don’t want someone who tries to date them to hang around with them. And that was long before this whole incel/friendzone shit was popular. If you meet a girl and immediately try to date her, that’s the biggest of red flags.
But go do you, just don’t be surprised that “Being direct” keeps biting you in the ass.
“No it’ll be so people can go be artists, and be writers and be…”
There are legit people who believe that.
And it’s not like this money appears magically the government will need to find ways to pay for this, we still haven’t solved that problem but even if we did, we’ll see that 1000 doesn’t change everyone’s situation. Stupid people will still be poor because they spend too much money. The rich will save their money, but the middle class and lower middle won’t change much because ultimately, 1000 dollars will eventually be factored into the new price of everything.
more people spending money overall helps the economy
The idea behind this only works IF more people are spending. If Rent jumps that money goes to the landlord, who may (but probably won’t) spend the extra money, and it doesn’t benefit everyone.
I forget the term, but there’s an idea that talks about how many people/businesses touch money. So if you create a dollar into an economy (you can’t create money with out causing problems but let’s pretend it’s magic) if that money goes into a person’s bank it’s probably a bad thing. If that money goes through 10 people’s hands, you’re getting taxation on it in every place which is a good thing (for the government). Problem is landlords are usually well off (at least well enough to own more than one property). They might not be “mega rich” but they almost certainly will save that money, rather than spend it.
Besides which stimulus checks are a one time payment… not exactly the same as UBI.
If there was no external stimulus, they would have a slam dunk case. When every gas station jacks the price up 20 cents because the price of oil goes up, it’s just the market.
Put 1000 dollars in everyone’s pocket, every (smart) landlord will react and change their prices accordingly. That’s not “Collusion”, and the DoJ will never be able to make a case. That’s just landlords paying attention to what happened in the world.
Or are you saying that Landlords are ILLEGALLY colluding with one another to ensure Rent remains high?
No… I’m saying that a Landlord can read a paper and know that people have an extra 1000 dollars, so they can raise their rent 330/660/ or real dickbags 1000 dollars since you now have extra money.
Ok dude… I’m going to go back and time and tell 15 year old me what to do. You can come and listen if you want.
"First off, let’s not rush shit. You always rush shit, so you need to play it cool. Don’t say date… even if it’s a date, don’t say date. You asked two girls you liked as friends to go to see a movie you wanted, and one got mad you asked the other one first because she thought it was a date. So you gotta be cool.
"So basically say “want to go to the comic book store?” She likes comics she’s going to say yes. Heck don’t specify a specific time, so when she asks “When?” you know she’s interested, work out a time. Even if she asks “like a date” say “what ever” with a smile, she’ll think it’s cute. Play it cool dude!
"Second do a little research, find some place to eat that’s cool. If it goes cool at the comic store, suggest going to grab a bite. Don’t choose anything too pricy, casual just two friends chilling out. If she thinks it’s a date, it’ll work, if not it’s just a hang out. Great. Then play it by ear. She might suggest “What do you want to do?” She might just want to go home and even if she doesn’t want to eat that’s not the worst thing.
"Now dude, I’ve given you the plan. Let me tell you the other side. You’re a fucking idiot, you’re going to flub that, but don’t freak out. If you say something stupid it’s not the worst thing in the world. You’re a nerd, but if she’s the one for you, she’ll like that about you. Just don’t rush shit… You got this.
“Good luck Young Kinglink” ( Spoiler, never worked, didn’t find my first girlfriend until I was 24… ehhh now married and happy so you get there eventually ). And good luck Chris, but take it easy my friend, and don’t push the date aspect too hard unless she’s given you signs, and I’m guessing she hasn’t… yet.
Others are saying make it clear it’s a date, but if you do that, it’s binary. She wants to date you and says yes, or she doesn’t (and that might hurt your friendship)… she probably doesn’t know you well enough to date you yet otherwise you’d know for sure if this was a good idea.
Oh but to answer your question. For the right girl? A comic store date would be perfect, especially if you know she likes comics.
As far as I read/understand, nope. But if it does limit the assistance to 28 miles an hour, that might be required if the bike goes above that speed. (Note: that’s only the point where the power would stop assisting, not the fastest speed the bike can do.)
Umm that’s not exactly what they’re saying.
It would update a 27-year-old law to create three new classes of electric bikes based on the type of motor and how fast they can go.
Hell the ACTUAL statute is just defining what a e-bike is. You can see it here: https://olis.oregonlegislature.gov/liz/2024r1/Measures/Overview/HB4103
It does say class 1 can be operated by anyone, but 2 and 3 can be limited to 16 and older. Yes that’s more restrictive then the past, but really it’s “Defining the e-bikes” because they were poorly defined based on an almost hundred year old law.
That being said it does limit the top speed of an e-bike to 28 miles an hour, I assume above that it’s now a motocycle, and honestly, that might be a good thing, because at that speed they no will come out of no where (hell at 20-30 miles an hour they still will)
This is hardly as bad as the title.
“Well we clearly need to make it even more illegal then” -The Government
(Although technically was 16 year olds not allowed to ride e-bikes? If so then this is more permissive, because it says 16 year olds can ride class 1 bikes)
I have ADHD, and probably some minor form or Autism. (Just too old for it to be called that back in the day). A big part of all these things is learning how to cope with it. It’s what makes you different, but like I said, figure out what is a fulfilling life to you first, and then try to strive towards it.
And I don’t mean this as a negative but consider therapy if you can find a way to do it. It sounds like you might need to talk to someone about this and that can be a great help. That can take time too, it took my daughter 3-4 therapists and almost a year to find the right person for her and it’s definitely helped her.
Probably depends what level of autism you have or rather what type… But sure, just like you can live a good life with ADHD, having one leg, or just being an asshole.
The trick with it is managing whatever traits life has given you on your stat sheet. If you’re autistic understand your limitations, figure out if there’s anything you can do and work on it. If you have trouble in social situations, work on that. If you anxious at times, work on that. Don’t be afraid of using medication to help with your symptoms if you can, and working with a therapists to improve the quality of your life (if that works, not going to say there’s a catch all solution). Find people who understand and accept you as well. Not everyone is going to like you… and I say that outside of this. Not everyone will be your friend, and that’s ok.
Two things. Don’t let that be a crutch. Autism might be how you help people understand what you’re going through but don’t say “X is ok because I’m autistic” because you can always be better at certain things, it’s just that certain things may be harder. And always try to improve yourself.
Also don’t take someone else’s definition of a “fulfilling life” If you want to enjoy video games instead of going out to a bar or drinking, and you’re happy with that choice, do it. If you want to be social instead of playing video games, and you’re happy with that choice do it. Just like there’s no one form of Autism there’s no one form of a “Fulfilling life”. Find a way to be happy… similarly there’s no such thing as a “Normal life” there’s a life you want to live, and strive for that.
And besides we’re all weirdos on this planet, most of us just hide it better. You got this.
It’s almost as if people pointed out that raising the minimum wage will result in higher costs for everything and thus raising the cost of living.
Hey you get a hundred more bucks a week? Guess what your rents going up fifry dollars a week.
Sounds great but groceries rise cost twenty more a month because they are paying their people more. Gas goes up… And everything else costs “just a bit more” because of rising costs for the new minimum wage.
Maybe the solution isn’t to get more money but stop acting like everyone who decides to move to California deserves a charmed life. In the supply and demand metric for jobs California seems to be fine with increasing the supply of workers with out realizing that has caused most of the problems we have. Sorry but just like the game industry until people stop wanting to come out to California with out a job lined up ultimately there’s going to be problem.
Btw I’m definitely not talking about immigration with this I’m talking about someone from Kansas deciding to come out to California for what ever reason, something not working and then bitching that they can’t stay here on a minimum wage salary and afford a single room apartment.
Maybe if that’s the case going back to Kansas which has a better cost of living is a better choice than trying to live in a city or state with the highest cost of living?
Not everyone has to leave to fix this but until at least some people leave the scale will continue to tip against everyone in the state because the surplus of people only raise the supply on people looking for jobs, raise the demand on housing which increase rent and this will continue until this idea that there’s a guaranteed perfect Californian life exists for anyone who comes out here is dead
A big part is always going to be stabilization, when you’re using the machines you don’t need to focus on those muscles, so I usually recommend people doing free weights. It’s a similar story to doing chest flies. But the big benefit of the machines is they’re designed to conform to the “optimal” range of motion, and somewhat less chance of injury
Excellent point that’s absolutely true. It means “Marketing worked” (at least early on)
I agree, I just was making a joke. It’s a conspiracy until you realize it’s a fact. MK-ULTRA, Government spying on you (which time? ) , Big tobacco hiding that cigerettes cause cancer, Stacks of ET games are buried in New Mexico, even dark stories like the Tuskegee Syphilis Experiments were all conspiracy theories at one time. Sadly they all turned out to be true.
It’s no longer a conspiracy when it’s proven true.
Using the same bar every time, it’s the same weight, you don’t need to know what’s on it. Olympic bars (and most bars) are 45, so I just use that. It doesn’t on the smith machine because there’s a counter weight on it (to stabilize it)
But let me give you another idea. WHO CARES? Yeah I know we all like to track progress when weight lifting, but at the end of the day did you lift the weight and bring it back down? Did you do it multiple times? Did you do it to exhaustion? Great, you’ll grow. If you truly care then ask "When I used that same machine could I do it with more weight? Could I do more reps with the same weight? The machine itself doesn’t change so just use that specific type of machine as the metric.
I’ve found weight machines are NOT comparable to Free Weights, Which are not comparable to even smith Machines… So ultimately… Compare apples to apples.
Another example? I would consider a Chest fly to a chest fly from a different manufacturer… THOUGH I’ve seen a few times when this is just bullshit. I also think Calf raise machines are just phony weight at times. (Though remember when doing Calf raises, and Calf Raises sitting, your entire body weight is now missing) … Which can be true for many machines…
So ultimately compare apples to apples… AKA compare a machine (or a machine type) to that same machine type, and try not to confuse “Free weights” with “machine weights” because there is a correlation but it’s not worth figuring out.
… If only there was a reason like everyone getting an extra 1000 dollars a month… Oh wait.
