They aren’t affordable because every contractor out there is being paid by investment firms to build glass steel and marble condos that can be rented out for $4000 a month instead of drywall, wood and laminate ones that can be rented out for $2000.

All of the existing drywall, wood, and laminate ones built 30 years ago are falling apart and no new ones are being built

Starter homes do not exist anymore because no one builds them. Only luxury homes for the boomers to downsize to and pocket their fortunes as they move out of the big city.

Hey, he knows he doesn’t like tomatoes. That random liquid could be delicious. You never know until you try it.

Just scoop it out into the trash. Might be compostable?

Some people actually put it into the fridge and use it to cook later, depending on the source like bacon fat or something.

I mean, we can very extremely petty when slighted.

Have you met a 22 year old working a seasonal job for 4 months? They treat everything as disposable lol

Yeah I use them for our seasonal staff in the biology field, outdoors and in the rain using GPS apps all day and the battery lasts forever, and super cheap in case they are super careless.

It’s because hospitals and insurance companies collaborate to inflate prices to skim money off the top.

A procedure that should cost $1,000 anywhere else is magically $10,000 in America so that Americans pay $1000 out of pocket and then the insurance company pays $9000, because they already collected $20,000 from the collective pool of Americans paying for their “service” since it’s “unaffordable” to not have insurance since insurance companies have increased the price to make it so they are necessary.

But what if they are a merchant

Careful, they’ll ban that next

Unfortunately that’s the risk of the restaurant Industry. It’s a highly competitive and low margin business.

Unfortunately it’s also oversaturated with way too many small restaurants to make it viable enough for everyone unless they pay below minimum wage for labour.

If 20% of restaurants go out of business, the remaining 80% with get all the business from those that shut down and make enough money to pay their employees a livable wage.

Unfortunately that means the workers from the failing 20% need to find work in another industry, but the workers in the remaining 80% get a much needed increase in income rather than everyone suffering.

I feel for you. I understand what you’re saying. Unfortunately I only have one up vote to counter everyone else.

I can’t imagine 1/3 of everything you see in an entire state being corn.

I don’t like that the colour scales are different ranges between the maps. Makes it look like China works less hours than Greece unless you look closely enough.

L4L (or, R4R). It went private on Reddit and is still dark. Probably not enough users on Lemmy for it to be viable here yet though.

Ya copyright that lasts longer than 10 years likely stifles innovation because the people who have experience in the industry and the capital / resources just stick with making the same thing instead of improving it.
