“Market prices for this new housing are likely to far exceed the already high prices that existed in Lahaina before the fire. For renters, the old housing stock that was destroyed provided opportunities for reasonable rents,”
I think this is the issue. Poor folks live in older buildings. Can’t rebuild new old, run-down cheap neighborhoods.
Article: The phrase “Rich men north of Richmond” is a cleverly disguised antisemitic trope
The guy that wrote the song: “It was funny seeing my song at that (Republican) presidential debate. Because I wrote that song about those people"

Calling everything racist isn’t helpful. This song is a poor man’s cry for economic justice, and instead of saying “yeah, that’s the 1% we’ve been complaining about, come over to our side,” the left calls it racist because it has Southern imagery in it.
Metal AF
Mind you, I’m not putting my fingers near that thing, but I like it from over here.

Once upon a time, Republican leadership were smart but evil people who fed lies to their base but understood that they were lying. Since they weren’t actually delusional, they could choose the most politically useful lies and abandon the ones that didn’t poll well.
Enough people believed their lies that the new generation of Republicans are True Believers. They’ve lost the ability to tailor their message to the political climate because it’s no longer seen as just a bunch of crap to please the base, but TRUTH. Except that it’s not actually true, so their policies fail.
This is the inevitable result of governing through falsehood. Objective reality can not be gaslit, and abandoning it never works out well long-term.
Let’s keep it civil
Oh, in that case I don’t have a comment on the American healthcare system.
I want the actual reviews so I have at least some chance of figuring out if the reviewer is a bot, a shill, a customer, or is reviewing the UPS guy instead of the product.

My guess is they’re cartel, and their boss didn’t like the idea of someone shutting down their trade routes.
It’s totally different from wow. Wow is a real-time mmo. BG3 is a turn-based fantasy RPG (think Divinity:Original Sin or Wasteland 3).
Mr Struk … actively pursued a ‘pro-Russian position’ in the last week by 'communicating with the Russian Federation
Actively supporting an invading force during war isn’t “having a different opinion,” it’s treason.
It can force those who disagree with defederating to find a new instance that has access to all the communities they want. It also makes onboarding new people significantly more complicated, as their choice of instance will drastically influence their feed.
To be clear, I’m not arguing against defederation, just pointing out that it causes issues that need dealt with.
Firing people will surely ingratiate himself to his base.
it’s possible that he was offered some kind of deal
It’s been reported that Lukashenko (of Belarus) brokered a deal. I haven’t seen any further details.
I know my personal experience isn’t statistical proof of anything, but I’ve known a couple of people who started using meth, then their life fell apart. I don’t know anyone whose life fell apart first and started using meth later.
“Only” a third on meth? Jfc that’s high.
There are a lot of reasons people end up homeless. One specific drug being involved in a third of cases is huge.
We believe that the state usurps the natural safety and freedom of individuals and communities to impose its own order.
I’d argue that “natural safety” is pretty dangerous, and safety is the main argument in favor of ceding freedom to the state.
Nice writeup btw.
It is a 4th amendment violation, but some shit judge ruled otherwise at some point so they get to pretend it isn’t.
Ukraine is attacking military targets. That’s the big difference here.
