Don't call her that!
OP is a troll for saying go vegan on an animal cruelty thread huh?...ok...
In the book "Highrisers", which is about the Cabrini-Greens housing developement in Chicago, there's a short section talking about how certain buildings were turned over to the tennents in a management capacity. It didn't fix all of the problems, and it didn't save Cabrini-Greens, but it did have some measure of success over beurocratic management by CHA, which was a joke. (FWIW I read this several years ago, so take it with a grain of salt)
That model has stuck out in my mind since. Why not have a simple budget for each building and let the work of maintenance be managed by the people who live there, with resources from the appropriate housing authority. The US is so fucking paternalistic about poverty and the people living in it. We build huge beurocracies incapable of truly scaling that then result in obsene waste like shown above. With some management some of that could be put on tennents, with them keeping some of benefits as well.
Cricket shill here. I've had cricket for years, it's affordable and has good perks like free roaming in Mexico and Canada. It's just an MVNO of ATT last I checked, so if ATT went down cricket would too.
It seems like with that level of militancy they've got some pretty powerful class consciousness.
I don't get it either. I always had standard electric in places where I lived until now. My first gas stove: 1. Often smells of gas which implies a slow leak which is scary 2. Isn't vented at all, so it's spewing who the fuck knows what, even when it's working properly. Give me an induction surface and a big air fryer and I'm happy.
As a non programmer, isn't visual basic for Excell scripts?
Just looked it up, looks like it's still Amazon. Could be missing something though.
They're both genocide supporters, don't worry
She's not blonde🤔
The other commenter is comparing FSA to HSA which is right I think. I think FSAs work for some people (I never understood who though) but there's literally no downside to an HSA. It basically can end up as another tax sheltered investment account, if you have enough money/luck to be able to pay off your healthcare costs out of pocket.
Like everything in the US, it's amazing for people with money. Less useful for those that don't. But at the very least it provides a buffer for the insane deductibles that US persons need to pay to keep living.

In our healthcare system they're talking about refusing non emergent treatment for people without insurance until they get Medicaid, which can apparently take a month. This would save about 20million, which is strikingly close to what Propublica reports the system pays in executive compensation. In other words, if the money is THAT important, we have a way to save that money without literally denying cancer care (time is a factor). But reduction in executive expenses isn't on the table. Fuck these high earning sociopaths.
