He could, or he could do nothing. Both make him money.

Also I imagine renting to rich people is a bit more complicated than it is for you and I. A lot more real possibility of litigation than from us regular folks.

Why sell? They’re both appreciating in value. He’s made more money than most of us will make in our entire lives just letting those mansions rot.

Fun fact is that they did during the government response to Covid.

Same thing happened with the ACA Medicaid expansion and Obama’s HSR money for Florida and Wisconsin.

At least Alberta has some pretty mountains.

Laundromats suck. No argument here.

Some places in the US have what are called “wash and folds” where your drop off your laundry and they’ll do it for you, usually charging by the pound. You pick it up folded.

Even some dry cleaners will do this.

Obviously more expensive than a laundromat, but, as always, it’s a question of how much you value your time.

During the colonization of the American West, who did your laundry mostly depended on your marital status. Since laundry was “women’s work”, bachelors wouldn’t do it. But there weren’t a lot of women around during the early era of colonization, so you got Chinese immigrants (largely from Hong Kong) who would establish these commercial laundries to cater to all the single men who couldn’t or wouldn’t do their own laundry (it was also very time-consuming and arduous work). American racism against Chinese immigrants who held these jobs led to things like the avowedly leftist Chinese Hand Laundry Alliance, which was a labor organization that fought to keep these jobs legal.

The right-unionism is incompatible with the big-business base.

It’s the same reason Republicans will never do anything to completely stop visa-less immigration: they want downward pressure on wages.

If the question is “Will Kathy Hochul do something good?” the answer is “no”.

Maybe he did great things for New York’s bedbug population?

Sridhar spits fire all the time.

Depends on your definition of “historic”. Just because a building is old doesn’t mean it’s historic, and the bottom line is that no building is more important than unsheltered people.

PC Part Picker can give you an estimate of power usage. I just plugged in what you gave us + a random mobo and AIO and it seems to think 500W is probably too low, but if you’re buying anything pre-assembled it’s most likely calibrated correctly. Maybe they’re undervolting the GPU or the CPU, or they just have a less thirsty GPU than the random 12GB 4070 Super I picked but idk.

My instinct is that if it’s being sold as a complete system you don’t need to worry about it.

literal paypigs

Here’s what voting changes: who gets to control the graft machine.

You can’t give your buddy lucrative no-bid contracts if you don’t control the right levers.

They’re fighting very hard to keep themselves in their cushy jobs where nothing is expected of them.

In the Netherlands and Belgium they just have a sauce menu and you can order whatever sauce you like and it’s great.

Being a goofy goober.

yeah but think of the valuable parking they’re taking up!

Skillet!
