Even then, they still own the housing stock as assets, which they can hold indefinitely. Their financial backing and ability to weather financial storms is much higher than the average American family. The goal is to remove ownership from the lower classes and ensure the plebs can only rent. It's more about control than anything.
Realistically, the loss of women's income would lead to a housing crisis as millions of families are unable to pay their mortgage, but it's naive to think housing prices will plummet. Plenty of vulture capital firms and the like will happily scoop those houses up to rent back to us in perpetuity.
I paid for the lifetime pass maybe, 10 years ago? I dunno, it's been a very long time. It's still my primary. I've been trialing Jellyfin, but there are still enough quirks that my wife (non-techie at all) won't put up with, so yeah. That, and Plex makes it too easy to share outside my house, not sure where Jellyfin is at with it. I appreciate Jellyfin for what it is though, it has a lot of potential.
While I can't find the specific ordinance at the moment, I'm about 95% positive that LA County has a law on the books prohibiting open carry, even unloaded (including replicas), even with a CCW. There are exemptions for law enforcement and while filming a permitted movie/tv show. Typically, local ordinance will supercede state law in situations like this here in CA.
That all said, I wouldn't be trying my luck against the LAPD/LASD lol.
No worries. If it's going about day to day errands with some music in your ears, the DAC dongle is probably your best bet in terms of keeping what you have to carry compact.
On a side note, I always figured the Bell Riots that were supposed to be back in September of our timeline were just a hair delayed and slightly miscalculated.
Its Texas, therefore it's god's will.
