In summary, thinking things through instead of being impulsive and taking the path of least resistance... Who would have thought... oh...

Some people abuse the system. They get caught, are fired. New rules are made to make life hard for all the others that had the discipline to behave, because this must not happen again. Can't we just stick to firing the persistent abusers? (or put them on patrol jobs)

Cool, I bet if you use billions of cells, the computer can do AI! It may demand a beer at the end of the week though.

On YouTube... Well, at least he wrote the idea down on a t-shirt ;-)

Touche. Not many black people around, then.

Was talking to a kid a while back. He did not understand how we dared to go out without a cellphone in the nineties. Easy... if we were in trouble, we'd ring the doorbell of the closest house and asked if we could use their phone. Try it. Be free again.

That is rather binary thinking... ;-)

I do not think this is limited to dumb people. It is like covid. It is an infectious way of thinking that is spreading.

I guess brexiteers will weasel out by saying it would have been worse if they had remained in the EU? There is always an excuse.

Let's conclude landlords are as oranges and apples. They can be very different.

Once some company sent a book to me. If I kept it, it meant I bought it and would have to pay. I could send it back for free.
Checked the law. It was covered. I did not have to pay or return anything.
Looks like chatgpt got inspired by the wrong people. Should have checked their plan with chatgpt. Pretty sure it would point out that the plan is bad.

No. He is offering affordable housing to people who can't buy a house. Haters will hate of course.

My dad is a landlord. He (through inheritances) owns 3 houses that he rents out. For one couple he did not increase the rent for decades. They were friends, they also took a bit of care for my grandmother who lived next door.
When my grandmother died, he rented out her house. A group of 4 Polish people moved in. He did not know them. They work in Belgium because the pay is better. He helped them out with getting official work permits. Noticed that the employer in Belgium was employing them illegally which meant that they were not covered by our social security system. He made a point of getting them a legal contract. Phoned the company, phoned their legal department. Their employer fired them because of my dad's actions, he got them a new job that payed better and was completely legal. (He was retired by then, he made this his hobby). He has some political connections. Employer's company was paid a visit by the government to check out the work permits.
The other house? Renter had trouble paying because she lost her job. He suspended her rent for a few months until she got employed again.
Whenever inflation kicks in, he gets moody. Do I increase rent yes or no? It is in the contract that he can. Sometimes he does, sometimes he doesn't.
He just likes people and people like him back. This is pretty normal for his generation in my experience. (Early babyboomers)

Plumber is also a good choice.

Paranoid... Psychiatry is trying to destroy you... Sounds a bit paranoid, no? What if they are right? Take care!
