Surely we can specify #Trump, #MAGA, #Republican government. #Democrats have been releasing good information.

I'm guessing that factoid was generated by AI and a sloppy junior editor didn't bother to think about if anything can be more than 100% less than anything else.

Partly because #Trump keeps saying he's going to bring #pharmaceutical costs down by 800%, 1200%, etc.

#Forbes is turning into a rag.

I'm guessing the #Trump administration thinks our word carries the same weight now as in 2016. They think if our official press releases or diplomatic channels and #US corp media say #Ukraine is doomed, #Europe will say "oh well that's that, then."

They know better.

Yeah straw manning is fun!

Sure, that's my instantaneous impulse as well. But the reason we don't let cops immediately shoot clearly guilty people is the same reason this person should be immediately removed from their post & go through whatever termination process exists. In a union utopia it will probably involve a hearing.

I forgot the first rule of the internet: people will always focus on the worst possible interpretation.

This person probably deserves to lose their job. But if we're going to protect workers from abuse we have to protect all workers, even shitty people. If there's a process, they should follow it.

everybody in the back has access to food prep hardware of various heft & sharpness.

People are talking about 2 diff scenarios:

1) Current reality. Yes obviously this person should be immediately fired & frog marched out.

2) Union Utopia. Doesn't mean the worker gets to stay there hurling slurs.

I've missed the background drama here but there are options between "stay customer facing and use all the slurs you want" and "immediately fired and kicked to the curb" such as suspension with pay or restriction to work in the back. Lots of options for a manager to use while any process plays out.

This article is kind of confusing but does eventually get to the point. Even with rent "down" most people who want to rent an apartment are young & relatively poor, so they can't afford to pay much.

Large apartment blocks really aren't comparable to single family homes along many categories.
Apartment rents drop further, with vacancies at record high
A good supply of new multifamily units is coming online at a time of much weaker demand.

Apartment buildings are way, WAY more expensive to buy than even a pretty big single-family home.

Also corporations are building & operating apartment buildings. I'd wager the corporate vs mom & pop ownership on apartment buildings/complexes is even higher than 9%.
