You make an excellent point! Companies should not be allowed to use complex chemical names on food labels and instead should be forced to use words that consumers can recognize and use to make better informed decisions about the products they're consuming.

It doesn't expire but clearly the vacant homes/units need to be taxed harder so sellers can't just sit on them forever.

Given the G7's relatively isolated site and few access roads it could turn into one hell of a murder mystery!

Imagine being able to afford doors in this economy

Tech bros always re-invent trains but worse.

Climate bros always re-invent trees but worse.

Crypto bros always re-invent MLMs but worse.

It's like carcinisation.

I mean they've been fucking with us for years, it's just finally being done in an open way that can be understood by enough people to affect change.

Caller ID is notoriously unauthenticated. It's getting better but I can still set my caller ID to be anything I want on my softphone.

Weird, I could have sworn Babcock was illiterate.

Yeah I guess I just meant in theory.

Not an American, so honest question here: Is this a valid target for civil forfeiture since it's proceeds from crime?

You know, instead of the usual $300 cops usually find suspicious in someone's wallet.

New path to a balanced budget is a lot of doublespeak though.

Makes me think he's about to privatize something.

The floor plans are also straight up bizarre. I was in the market recently and I saw two en-suite bathrooms in a 2-bed 3-bath. Kitchen/living/dining combos that could barely serve any of those purposes. Dens that were 4sqft corners in a kitchen, or slight recess in a wall. Interior glass walls to compensate for no window in a bedroom.

Then there were just absolutely strange finishing design choices, like a wall mounted intercom in the entrance you had to kneel to read the screen or reach the keypad. I'm not that tall. Some of the UGLIEST post-modern tile work I've ever seen, bar fridges masquerading as kitchen fridges, shallow tubs, low shower heads (again, I'm 5'9 this is not usually an issue.)
