This sounds like a recipe for being sued. You're maintaining a record based on potential libel and slander.

The same thing happened in the dot com days with sites like fuckedcompany where everyone unleashed against useless companies filled with aeron chairs and foosball tables as they crashed and burned.

Parts of LA just got snow recently.

Also bills for things that didn't used to exist: Internet, Cellphone, Cable/satellite tv, etc.

Not that those aren't luxuries, but for the most part they are considered to be part and parcel of modern living. California has free cellphones for poor people because it's considered a necessity.

Ethiopian finger food with a bottle of honey wine is one of the best meals I have ever had. A little bit of variety for everyone and a unique drink you don't find in bars etc.

So these apartments and condos don't have rules where you just complain to management and they kick you (the leaseholder) out?

All of the laws regarding noise, littering, loitering, smoking, etc. don't magically vanish. You have the same recourse against a renter as you would a tourist.

The same could be said for all foreign realestate investment where homes sit empty. (Granted that could be solved by a vacancy tax.)

But people already buy places and rent them out as income property. This puts a burden on renters and increases the incentives for builders to only construct larger apartments and homes. It raises the price for everyone and poor single people suffer the most.

Im not following how airbnb is worse than individuals who have profited off the community and neighbors since forever?

Klasky Csupo, the studio responsible for the first season of the Simpsons, did a gritty segment of animated shorts based on this.

Isn't there something similar in all Terms when loading something like Outlook Exchange etc. onto your personal phone with your work email? You basically sign over all privacy and content for them to do as they please with no granularity.

You absolutely are not the enemy. I've worked with tons of H1Bs who explained the hoops they had to jump through and ongoing citizenship issues they faced. The system is convoluted and it's difficult to have a discussion that doesn't descend into race-baiting garbage.

I feel the real threat to American workers as a whole isn't about individual (hard)workers rather entire departments being outsourced to overseas companies as a proxy to void the rights Americans are entitled to in order for some middle manager to show increased profits because the money comes out of a different 'bucket'.

H1B 'outrage' articles are just a distraction. The crap you guys have to go through to come here is insane.

Trader Joes used to have 2 machines in the late 80s which were Fresh Peanut Butter and Orange Juice. Both machines ground the ingredients fresh on demand. Peanut butter went into little tupperware like containers. OJ went into jugs. It seems all current commenters who might frequent TJs are too young to have experienced these things. The biting tart flavor of fresh squeezed OJ is often what is attempted to be imitated by homestyle or tart labels. Trader joes non pasteurized is still not the same flavor.
