You cannot reason someone out of a position that they did not reason themselves into. Most of the time they even think they are being logical and reasoned their way into their beliefs, but because they refuse to rectify their cognitive dissonance, they are stuck with contradictory beliefs which they haven’t accepted are incompatible.
This is a constant cycle.
Tech nerds invent new technology/platform>nerds flock to new thing>the masses hear about it and start flooding it>money notices a large user base that isn’t being complete wrung out for money>money destroys the new thing by making it unusable for profit>repeat
No thanks. We don’t need another go at company stores.
You load 16 tons, what do you get? Another day older and deeper in debt St. Peter, don’t you call me 'cause I can’t go I owe my soul to the company store
The mods will come very quickly. I’m sure there will even be a few on launch day. They took a long time to release the creation kit for skyrim which made making mods much more difficult, but the community still put out a lot just using modding tools from previous games.
YouTube is much harder to replace because the hosting costs of videos are so much higher than something like reddit.
I posted one very detailed negative review on apartments.com I think it was and it was deleted lol… not sure if my complex had a hand in getting it removed or what, but there was no valid reason to delete it.
Its just insane there’s no laws to help with these situations. They’re becoming extremely commonplace.
As far as I can tell in my jurisdiction there is no recourse for reporting them aside from suing for not upkeeping the pool because it isn’t something necessary like water, heating/cooling, etc. Suing defeats the purpose because I don’t want to move and win or lose I definitely wouldn’t be able to stay there after the case.
A tenant union could be useful long term maybe but it puts a target on your back just like suing does.
It didn’t used to be that bad. I moved in at $700/month back in 2015 or so and now its going to be up to about $1500. It used to raise $50 each renewal which was reasonable but then covid absolutely skyrocketed the prices of everything.
Moving may be the only option long term, but I’m not ready yet so I was wondering if people had techniques for dealing with these companies so that you aren’t just instantly dismissed.
I don’t want to move though. I just want a fair deal.
Pretty sure you’re in a very small minority. I’ve practically never gone to news sites. I’ve just found articles through reddit.
We shouldn’t have a system that you have to submit your ID at all.
Its all just a scam I’m afraid. There’s no real benefit to any of these ideas.
Hide your shame? Not sure who this appeals to.
