It isn’t just food. The hardship that was imposed upon landlords during the COVID eviction moratorium, combined with the massive migration of migrants from the large cities of the north, who are fleeing lockdowns and high taxes, is affecting rents in lower cost areas of the country. For example, South Florida is seeing skyrocketing rents.
Even here in North Central Florida, rents are rising. In the area where I own my rental, there isn’t much to rent. What there is, is becoming more expensive. I am renting out my three bedroom, 1,900 square foot home with a fenced in yard and two car garage for $1,700 a month ($0.89 per square foot). That rent includes lawn maintenance and a washer/dryer.
A new apartment complex that is nearby recently began renting a three bedroom 1,000 square foot apartment for $1,600 a month ($1.60 per square foot), and that doesn’t include a garage or washer/dryer). They are fully rented with a waitlist at that price.
My current tenants have been living in my rental for two years without an increase. In that time, my costs for insurance, property tax, and lawn maintenance have increased by about $120 a month.
What this means is that I should be increasing my rent by at least $200 a month. I could probably get $2,000 a month. The tenants would have little choice- it isn’t like they could go anywhere else and find a better deal. My wife and I have discussed it, and we don’t want to do that. At the same time, we have a business to run. We decided to compromise and will be raising the rent to $1,800.
Let’s say that you run one of the largest school systems in the world. Now let’s say that the science shows that black and Hispanic students are not as smart and talented as other kids. How can you trust the science when the science is races an sheeit.
China is launching technologically advanced missiles that orbit the Earth before reaching their target. The US President can’t straighten out logistical issues because he is a senile grifter who cares more about becoming rich by selling out the nation, and meanwhile the Transportation secretary is on family leave.
Way back when I was still in the military, I was once home on leave and attempted to buy beer. At that time, if you were in the military and stationed outside of Florida, your driver’s license was renewed by mail. Instead of a picture, the license read “Valid without photo.” I presented that license, together with my Military ID, to the clerk. He looked at them, declared them to be fake, and refused to sell me anything. He also called the cops. The arriving cop had never seen such a thing, put me in cuffs and called his sergeant. When the sergeant arrived, I was let go with an apology. I accepted it and went on with my life.
To bad this woman couldn’t. This wasn’t racism and it didn’t happen because she is black. It happened because she was an E6 at only 22 years old. Admittedly, I was in the service a long time ago, but the fastest I saw anyone make E6 was six years. That same guy made E7 in just less than nine years.
Apparently this diversity hire managed to join, make E6, graduate college with a 4 year degree, then attend OCS and become an officer, all before the age of 23.
If that isn’t a free ride because she is a minority female, I would be surprised. And yes, that last comment sounds racist because it is. Being a black woman is the only way to earn a 4 year degree, attend 4 months of OCS, and still earn 5 promotions, all in 5 years. The minimum time in service to make E6 in the army is supposed to be 84 months.
I read about an injury on the set of America’s got talent. It was an escape stunt where the stunt man was suspended between two swinging cars. The man needed to escape in order to not be crushed by the cars.
My opinion is that the so called stunt man was an untalented amateur who had no idea what he was doing. The people in charge of that show are no better. The situation is perfectly summed up by Penn Gilette.
I believe it’s morally wrong to do things on stage that are really dangerous. It makes the audience complicit in unnecessary risk.
Stunts like this should carry the APPEARANCE of danger, but not the reality. This is how a professional does it:
U.S. Capitol Police officer Jeffrey Albanese, a 14-year veteran, said his role on Jan. 6 was to make sure all emergency personnel who needed to be in the Capitol could enter.
But what haunts him is having listened to radio calls from officers in distress.
This is pure emotional manipulation. They want people to feel sorry for the Capitol police.
Let me warn you now that what I am about to tell you is not pretty, but I am going to describe what happened in detail, because the only way to fight evil is to understand the evil that you are facing. The events that happened in that school were verified with DNA evidence, and the boy was arrested.
A high school boy in Louden County, Virginia put on a skirt and claimed to be “gender fluid,” meaning he can decide from one minute to the next what gender he identifies as.
On May 28, that boy entered a girl’s restroom at the Stone Bridge High School, where he found the 15-year-old daughter of Scott Smith. Over the next 15 minutes, he forcibly placed his penis into the mouth and rectum of that teenaged girl, brutally raping her for a quarter of an hour. After being sodomized, the girl was examined in a local hospital, where DNA confirmed her story. That teenage girl will be psychologically traumatized for the rest of her life by the events that took place in that school bathroom. Months later, in late summer, the boy was arrested and charged with two counts of forcible sodomy, one count of anal sodomy, and one count of forcible fellatio.
As far as the school district, all that they did for discipline was transfer the boy to a nearby high school, Broad Run High School in Ashburn, Virginia, where on October 6, he attacked another teen female.
On June 23, the school board of Louden county was having a meeting, where they were to vote to allow students to use the bathroom of the gender that they identify as. Scott Smith was there to speak in opposition to that proposal. During the meeting, school superintendent Scott Ziegler flat-out lied to those assembled when he said, “The predator transgender student or person simply does not exist. We don’t have any record of assaults occurring in our restrooms.”
When Scott Smith got up to speak in disagreement, he was confronted by a pro tranny activist named Jackie Schworm. She shouted Mr Smith down, and threatened to dox him and eliminate his livelihood. It was then that sheriff’s deputies took sides. I will let you watch what happened next:
They tackled and arrested him. Just watching this video makes my blood boil. These cops are actively supporting rape for political points.
Other parents who were present spoke up, so the cops declared that the entire meeting was “an unlawful assembly” and ordered all of the parents to leave or be arrested for trespassing.
Then the school board association declared that Mr Smith was a “domestic terrorist” who was deserving of having the full power of the Federal government brought to bear upon his head.
If ever there was any question of who the police will support, you see it here. I know what some of you are thinking, “My buddy is a cop. He is a good guy, and would never support this.” Bullshit. If you ever get crossed with a cop, your buddy will side with that cop EVERY time. He will choose his fellow cop and his pension over ANYONE, possibly even his own mother, wife, and children. Don’t think for one second that your cop friend will side with you.
This is policing in America- arresting people who want to redress their grievance over policies that allow trannies to ass rape their daughters.
