A little off topic, but your laundry should never be in a condition to allow mold growth. Stuff should be allowed to dry out if it got wet (if you don't intend to wash it soon) and washed laundry should be promptly dried. If you are doing that and it still happened, you might have a mold problem in your home. The shirt might not be saveable, but this might be the lesson to avoid more expensive mistakes in the future.

Yes

Methinks some folks need to go out and touch grass for a while.

Out of curiosity, can you specify the topics or give specific examples of this shitty behavior you speak of? Without examples it is impossible to determine if you are discussing behavior that is straight-up pathological (e.g. name-calling) or people having a different opinion.

Neat, just remove actual facts. Very nice.

Let's gooooo!

Lol okay. I am apparently a bad actor for simply adding information to the discussion that always rapidly devolves into simple "eat the rich" rhetoric. Sure, go on with your sanctimonious lecturing, I'm here all day.

Jfc, you are angry.

I point it out because most people here don't seem to understand how it works when announcements like this are made.

Important to point out that their wealth is largely unrealized gains, that is, only exists in theory. If the stock market / bond market / whatever market crashed, this wealth would largely vaporize. Stock prices are essentially a mass agreed-upon hallucination, as they can be extremely divorced from real assets like industrial machines. It does mean that by controlling these stock etc assets, other people have a harder time getting into this slice of pie and they can do dumb shit like buying Twitter and summarily running it into the ground.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. This could have the makings of constructive dismissal. Relocate to a place with vastly different legal protections or be fired? Hmm. Since it also would possibly disproportionately affect female employees, I wonder if some discrimination could also come in to play?

Not a lawyer, just spitballing ideas.

The risk of being a landlord is exactly why I don't do it, and invest elsewhere.

I applaud you fighting back against the hive mind. I have been working on it as well when I have the energy to engage. Thanks for making this point.

Thank you.

Ok, you gonna go build your own house then?

Oh ffs, being a private landlord owning a few houses for rent is not a risk-free endeavor and not purely parasitic. You typically have to fix up the properties first (an investment), do work to vet renters, manage the property (maintenance effort/time/cost), and absorb the risk of bad renters destroying the interior. The landlord has to invest their own time and money to provide a livable shelter to others, who exchange money for not having to deal with all the above listed. That livable shelter is a big freaking deal, or why else would someone choose to spend money on it?

Companies developing monopolies on rental markets is a very different scenario, and I don't think it should be legal. Small private landlords? Yes.

All these commenters completely unwilling to consider the details of what you said. Got a slice of REIT in my retirement fund for exactly what you said.

Well, they're wrong.

The USA isn't a Christian government though, so I'm not sure I follow your point.

If you haven't read it, this is JK Rowling's essay in question.

A lot of people haven't read the essay that created such controversy.
