ParticipantActually, car parts and new car prices SHOULD go up when disaster cuts output. And plywood prices should go up when a hurricane threatens, and food prices should go up after a drought, and tech goods prices should fall after every advance, and….etc.
That is just free markets working. Higher prices signal producers to bring more to market, eventually dampening the rise. They also ration a newly scarce item when consumers voluntarily decide whether to buy or not.March 18, 2011 at 6:43 AM in reply to: OT: Inflation redux….Hope you folks weren’t waiting to purchase a car… #679082EconProf

ParticipantI believe NPR tries to be balanced, and generally succeeds.
But since they are staffed by MSM liberal types, they sometimes slip up and show their true colors.
Nonetheless, all the well-founded criticism of their mild tilt to the left has forced them to do their best to present all sides fairly. Not a bad outcome, given that they delve into issues in great detail.EconProf

ParticipantYou have a crappy landlord who will always be a crappy landlord. He is the type that gives all of us landlords a bad reputation.
I’d suggest you go one of two routes:
1. Since he will always be a pain in the ass to you, or any future tenant, fully enforce your legal rights and become a pain in HIS ass. It sounds like you have so many rights being violated already, you can start giving him written demands immediately to provide you with a safe, habitable place to live for your rent checks. First, read thoroughly your rental agreement.
Or,
2. Move out. You took over a place with certain advantages, which you mention. You perhaps got an extra good rent in that voluntary transaction. Many crappy landlords offer lower rent and hope minor faults are thereby accepted by the tenant. Many tenants actually prefer the lower rent along with the faults. So its your choice. BTW, didn’t you see a lot of these problems and red flags before you moved in? -
