It’s goes back to who is the leader of Cuba and what sort of government they have. The leader is basically a dictator. If leader would resign then things would change. Do I agree with how it’s being handled? No. But it is the reason.

Cuba is backed by Russia and Cuba is on the door step of the US. The Cuban missile crises created a major problem. End of that, Russia agreed not to put missile there and the US agreed not to go into Cuba. And Cuba sits in the middle dying. Yes I worded that poorly but you get the idea.

Russia would love to expand their presence there. Honestly I’m not sure what a realistic answer is, but if there were actual fair elections there things would change. But they are too close to the border to allow Russia in there.

Which country? What happened when they tried?

Typo there: you said “slaves” I think you meant slavers.

Changed the service? No

Changing things in life? Yes. On a side note honey, you are off the service plan. Also we are getting a divorce.

True. I miss typed that. There are blue and red dots in that area.

How is Minneapolis/St. Paul Minnesota a high risk area? I’m seeing blue dots in that area.

I’m curious what definition of “cracker” are you using?

While I understand your thought process, that in some way, people who actually destroy priceless works of arts and or historical sites. I understand your desire to beat the shit out of them…. OK, that wasn’t worded quite as well as I planned, but I think you get the idea. I understand somewhat of where you’re coming from, what I would ask for you to do is to read the article and just look more carefully because they didn’t destroy anything. The painting is covered by glass. they made a mess. Yes, probably destroyed part of the wall and may have stained it, which is obviously destruction. I will admit that. But the painting itself was unaffected. It’s covered completely. The protesters knew that before they ever threw anything at it.

There was no actual destruction of the painting there.

I do still understand where you’re coming from that people who do destroy priceless works of art, I do understand where you’re coming from, on wanting to beat the crap out of them.

And I’m rereading what I just typed throughout this and damn my ability to type and speak coherently sucks today. Guess it’s just one of those days for me.

You don’t?

That’s the part people like to forget. The cost

Absolutely. Could even have special flavors. Pumpkin spice lead, for the hunter that feels like throwing and shitting lead.

It would freeze to your hand. Although you would not lose the bottle either. What we need is to use a natural substance. My vote is lead.

100% agree. If they want to fuck around let them find out.

The reality is this will only affect the mom and pop landlords. The large corporations it won’t have any affect on. Will ten dollars kill them? No. But if we keep adding things like this where the landlord can’t recoup their costs then it will. The large corporations will negotiate a deal for the individual large corporations but the mom and pop operations won’t have the bargaining power.

Again I’m not saying ten dollars would kill them. It’s the idea of adding fees that a landlord can’t recoup that I’m against, because of who it will affect.

Yes I know the landlord can just up the rental price to recover the loss, but a ton of landlords run on a shoe string budget. The corporations can weather that storm easier. One fee probably not a problem. Keep adding fees and limit the ability to raise rent beyond a certain percentage and watch what happens.

In order for the landlords as a whole to get that kind of bargaining power would require the mom and pop landlords to unionize. Does anyone think that kind of union is a good idea?

Take a look at certain areas and see which type of landlord is getting out of the business and which type of landlord is buying more and more land.

I’m not saying this is the only reason for that but it doesn’t help.

I think assumptions in this case is a bad idea.

If the landlord has a realistic way to control the price then that’s one thing but I would want to see how they control that price. Or if they even have any say in it. If the landlord has no say then the landlord should charge exactly their cost.

Maybe I’m misunderstanding.

This is a cost to have your rent showing up on the credit report, correct?

How would the landlord have any control over what they charge?

The only thing I would change is that the landlord is allowed to ONLY charge their exact cost. But otherwise yeah this is a good idea (having your rental payments show or affect your credit score).

Damn.

The petition forms were faulty. Be nice if we were told what was wrong with them
