Your recipes are a local string!? Are you storing duplicate recipes for apple pie in your Apple class and your sugar, flour, butter, salt, water, cinnamon, and lemon classes?

Yes, many at risk programs and housing programs and even Medicare and Medicaid provide phones and other devices to members and those device contracts with Google or via a cellular provider are for hundreds of thousands to millions of people depending on the state or federal program doing the purchasing. There isn’t a reality where those contracts will ever not be for first party devices. Even if we wanted to we couldn’t buy people one plus or other non-Google branded android devices and laptops in these programs because the companies selling them don’t meet various regulatory standards required by the programs.

These people are literally the most at risk and don’t get individual choice for their devices. The devices are being provided in the first place because too many modern systems require internet and phone access. Id.me, login.gov, MFA for your library app, your epic or Athena portals for healthcare, etc…

Where will you peer to once these laws are active everywhere. That’s where this is actually headed

To generate clicks. Outrageous headlines drive engagement back to their site. What percentage of us clicked through and ended up reading something else.

Otherwise Reuters is owned by the Thompson family via Woodbridge investment company. Woodbridge or the thompsons could be buying, selling, shorting shares of Costco or a competitor and are nudging the trading algorithms.

They never sold the product. This is Reuters being slimy. The headline and article have been corrected:

Aug 14 (Reuters) - (This Aug. 14 story has been corrected to say that Costco will 'not sell' mifepristone instead of 'stop selling' the pill in paragraph 1 and removes reference to 'stopping sale' in paragraph 2)

This is like being angry at a gas station for never selling prescription lenses because they happen to have sunglasses on a rack in the front. Like, yes people buy reading glasses, and the gas station sells other kinds of glasses. But people tend to go to CVS to buy them so the gas station doesn’t want to carry them and, most importantly, never has in the entire history of their company.

I’m not 100% certain what our attorney did to structure our trust but we were able to do this without the trust having to buy the house itself and still could utilize a CRA loan program loan from a traditional bank and avoid PMI at a lower down payment.

From experience, basically no banks take collateral on co-owned homes. You probably won’t run into problems like that specifically. You can also easily structure an agreement with a lawyer. In many states you have to have an attorney to buy a home anyway (CT, MA, GA, DE, KY, LA, MD, MI, NH, ND, OK, RI, VT, WV, WO). We used ours to write and tack on the equivalent of an HOA arrangement you’d see in a condominium for our shared rooms.

I do find it amusing we have redditors arguing landlords should be illegal and others arguing co-ownership is a bad idea. Yes, let’s build millions of single room houses for everyone who is single that span the entire continent.

In this case it is a bad idea though. Wheelchair bound cripples and dementia patients aren’t going to farm a single crop no matter how many of them you throw into the fields. They’ll die there and the crops will wither away and feed nobody and make no tax revenue
