So landlords can enter your place without notice if there's an emergency. Makes sense.
Today got an email that there was a leak in the basement of our apt. bldg. And using their emergency powers they entered ALL our units including those of us on the second and third floors?!?!
Is THAT legal?

In my 'hood, a government shutdown hurts everyone, not just federal workers.
And in case I've failed to mention it in the last ten minutes:
***Congress keeps getting their $174,000/year.***

They Shine Washington’s Shoes and Pour Its Drinks. A Shutdown Would Hurt.
Once again, the florists, bars, gyms, cafes, dry cleaners and other small businesses that serve federal employees in the District of Columbia and its suburbs are bracing for an economic blow.

The Supreme Court is hearing a case next week about who can enforce the Americans with Disabilities Act
It's been flying under the radar, and I think that's a big mistake

In Acheson Hotels v. Laufer, the Supreme Court could further undermine this country's already shoddy system of civil rights enforcement.

Scarcity is created on purpose. This country is full of empty homes and food thrown out and destroyed rather than given to the needy.

Gen Z is putting more disposable income toward debts than other Americans because of higher borrowing costs, slowing wage growth, student loans and more. Experts worry could it derail their intentions to buy homes and save for retirement.

It’s insane that Donald Trump said he wants to execute the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and persecute his critics in the press — and it’s, like, not even that big of a story?
Zero Republicans in Congress have condemned him? And aren’t even being asked to by the press?

I like the Only Posts feed but every time my mind jumps to Only Fans and thinks... oh, I didn't come here for porn what was I doing? And then I process (again) that it says Only Posts and (re)remember that it's not a porn feed and THEN click into it... 🤷♂️
Not that porn feeds are bad by any means.
