  • I feel like, due to these fires, a lot more attention is going to be paid by the wealthy to climate change and all the small ways the little guy gets fucked when you don’t have money or assets.

    A lot of these videos are showing people who have had their homes for 20+ years so they have not been directly affected by price gouging and other factors that affect the everyday person trying to rent. Now it’s a rude awakening because they’re thrusted into a system that has been fucked for a decade or more and NOW they’re asking where the regulation is to prevent shit like this.

    Edit: to be clear I am not boohooing them having a home, but it’s more of a “it didn’t affect me so I didn’t have to worry about it” , into now they have to deal with the shit so they’re like WTF









  • But they aren’t just preferring cheaper sources, they’re funding production houses that crank out music cheaper than it would cost to pay a single artist, and then putting that “mass” produced music on playlists that they themselves promote, allll to avoid promoting actual artists and paying them potentially more than they’re paying the production house.

    It’s in terribly bad faith because I myself am an artist that distributes through Spotify, not only because I can reach the widest audience, but I’m hoping on some level Spotify is promoting my new music to people outside of my own purview. But they aren’t. They’re flooding the market with cheap music and only promoting it.





  • Similarly if you get a hotel downtown, anywhere really, and they advertise it as $125 a night. Ends up being $140 a night after the $45 fee for parking, then $150 a night while they hold a $30 deposit for “incidentals”, and then whatever BS fees to get it to almost $200 a night.

    And this is after you paid the $125 online expecting to get your room, but they won’t give it up until those things are paid. This scenario happened to me almost to the letter last year.

    My question is: how long will it take to enact this rule,and can it be repealed easily by the incoming administration once Hilton/Marriott/La Quinta complain about making $1 million less from fees.
