While your right that the way past it is to literally push through and get the numbers up to break their margins, that's hard to do when the system is rigged to make it so difficult to vote it might require you taking an entire day off to do it. So many people are living paycheck to paycheck that they can't afford that, and the people with disposable income and time to do that are the old and the rich who typically vote republican. Which is the point.

Yeah, software dev disappearance I feel like would result in a slow Jenga game of things becoming more unstable until they all fall down at once. Unless we figure that the world will got completely ballistic at the prospect of multiple millions of people just vanishing, then the knock on effects won't really matter.

I love you and greatly appreciate the potentially smelly and possibly unsafe work you do.

Yeah, the more I look at this, the more I feel like it's obvious their priority was to maximize land usage to get more units in. Unless they went hard into the tiny home methodology when they built these, the fact that there is a second story makes probably 1/5 of that ground floor into a stairwell with under stair storage that may or may not be effectively implemented, and another 1/5 or so of that upper floor minimally usable open space.

That's still not affordable. Average cost/sqft. In San Antonio Texas is $160. At that rate this house would be $105,760. The location of this home is a tiny strip of land with a dead end road slammed up against a pair of drainage ponds, and the houses are packed in tighter than sardines, and look nothing like the clearly rendered picture to advertise them. A nearly 60k markup for a shit shack is still not affordable. This is preying on desperation.

There's a YouTube channel I saw a while back where the guy films the process of cutting slabs. When you take into consideration the sheer size of trees that have to be used to make a slab, and then the size of the equipment that has to be used, and the weight, it's easy to see how the cost of even a clean grained slab can be through the roof, not to mention something that has artistic or desirable figuring in the grain.

As well they should, but nothing will change until Qualified Immunity gets re-examined, and cops that engage in criminal activity while wearing a badge are actually treated like criminals instead of being shielded from consequences by the police union and precinct transfers.

Bold of you to assume that's going to the servers and not straight into the owners pocket.

How dare you suggest that anything other than generational indenture be used to produce veggie num-nums

The short-term is that reddit is scrambling to try to maintain the appearance of normality. Calling for volunteer moderators (Always Were.meme), and talking about their decreased financial stream show this. The rest is gonna be longer term knock-on type effects.

Ultimately though, as many others have said, I'm here and I'm not going back, so while the bad news is a little cathartic, I mostly don't care. Will they completely die, probably not, but they are dead to me.
