Participant[quote=deadzone][quote=FlyerInHi]Look up the property records and contact the owner directly. You have be right to do so. If you can’t get a phone number, write to the owner.
I’ve had a situation where the property manager of the unit above mine wasn’t properly addressing a leak.[/quote]
Yes I have contact information for the owner and he is ccd on many of the emails I deal with the PM but he is not interested dealing with anything directly. That is why this is frustrating. The property manager is incompetent and becoming borderline hostile.[/quote]
Most likely owner is not reading the emails if you’re just cc’ing him. The mindset is that it’s just a courtesy copy and he has the PM to deal with the situation.
Try communicating/emailing the owner directly. Telling him you know your rights and specifically what needs to be fixed. Or you’ll fix them yourself and deduct that from the rent. Money talks.
Perhaps a leak or two in the house with the mold issue and a complaint to the health department will get their attention.
ParticipantSounds like you need a deep cleaning. The dental hygienist should be able to tell you the depth of the pockets between your teeth and gum. If they are in the 4-5 range then that’s bad. Inflammation on the gum is a good indication that there are some deep pockets in there. If that’s the case you’ll either do a deep cleaning or floss/brush/rinse more regularly. I think the change in diet may help, but flossing daily and brush/rinse at least twice a day will probably produce better results.
ParticipantIf your renovation did not violate any of the building code then why not just let them inspect and they’ll be on their way? If you’re going to play hard-ball with them, then be prepared if they return the favors. I am sure just like the vehicular codes there a plenty of things that they could find is wrong with your unit from the outside.
Participant[quote=FlyerInHi]Stock market crash and depression are not the solution to inequality. Too much suffering and iddle productive capacity that retard human advancement. No economist would advocate that.[/quote]
If anything, a depression will widen the wealth gap even more. The richest will still have plenty to eat and still have plenty left to hoard up even more assets on the cheap.
Participant[quote=flu][quote=joec]Maybe some people are supporting Trump purely for his tougher sounding immigration stance. Some folks I spoke to know co-workers say that they are supporting Trump because they work in hospitals and am sick of all the free healthcare and lack of gratitude from illegals.
At the end of the day, I’m guessing a lot of these people just don’t care as much about all the other downsides of a Trump presidency, but want to shut down the thing that affects them the most.[/quote]
This is really ironic. Because if it wasn’t for the demand of ER care, the same folks complaining about those people would probably be unemployed from lack of demand.
It’s like people who complain about a bloated government but then work for a defense company or the government itself.[/quote]
No difference than the complaints about manufacturing jobs going overseas and at the same time wanting everything to be cheap. It’s really a catch-22.
How much more are people willing to pay for products that are made here instead of in countries across the pacific?
Participant[quote=FlyerInHi][quote=bearishgurl] Other countries reserve their best jobs for their own natives and there is nothing wrong with that. It’s as it should be.[/quote]
You would be wrong. Companies and countries that strive for excellence hire the best people.
That’s why Americans work as “experts” around for the world, more so in past decades.
The difference now is that we have globalization of education, and many foreigners are better than us so our best companies want to hire them.
For example, you have plenty of Americans working at Emirates and Etihad, some of the best airlines in the world. Americans work for big foreign oil companies, and on large infrastructure projects everywhere in the world because the natives are less qualified.
Global companies need a global workforce. Simple economics (BTW, I didn’t say that economics is everything. A social agenda is needed. But economics are necessary to build wealth).[/quote]
I have to agree with BG, here. In Germany, and I can only speak about germany, pecking order for cushy jobs are more or less as followed: Germans, white western europeans, eastern europeans, asians (japanese, koreans, chinese, … in that order). Unless, you’re a genius, your ethnicity is more important than your skills in getting those jobs. Foreign consultants is just an anomaly to what reality is.
Participant[quote=enron_by_the_sea]Talking policy is much better strategy. But wait what are policy positions of Trump/Cruz again ?[/quote]
trump: I am rich. I am self funded. I know how to make deals.
Participant[quote=flu]colonel powell[/quote]
when did he get demoted? Powell is an excellent choice, though.
Participant[quote=joec]
I should also read up on how every other country with top rated healthcare does it since I don’t think this whole Trump and insurance competing will work. If you wanted to be profitable, most insurance companies will just dump all women and pregnant folks.I assume the healthcare industry will be destroyed
actually in it’s current form if we do what other countries do since a lot of research is probably done in the US and other countries benefit for it (and have laws to prevent gouging) which we don’t have here. I would like to see some go under personally (Blue Cross/Shield)…[/quote]Start with the salaries of the physicians. I can live with the high salaries for specialists. It’s the general physicians that I have issue with. Experience nurses and nurse practitioners can do exactly the same tasks, and just as well, as a gp do at a much lower cost.
According to this website, gp in the US makes close to 60% more than their counterparts in the U.K.
ParticipantRubio is done.
Kasich is done (mathematically) and should also drop out.It’ll come down Cruz vs Trump. I think most of the Rubio and Kasich’s votes will go to the lesser of the two evils and that would be Cruz.
I’ll go out on the limb and say that Cruz will get the nomination.
ParticipantHow about Bill?
Participant[quote=AN][quote=njtosd]Flu – Asians are projected to become the wealthiest group in the US in coming years. http://www.cnbc.com/2015/03/15/mericans-are-transforming-the-face-of-us-wealth.html
When they do, will that mean that discrimination against Asians has stopped?[/quote]
Success of a race on average and discrimination against a race are two separate thing. Just because Asian found ways to work around the discrimination, persevere through the discrimination, and achieve financial success does not mean they’re not being discriminated against. It just mean as a group, Asian don’t spend as much energy bitching about it as working with the landscape that’s in front of them, even when there’s discrimination.[/quote]Asians succeed IN SPITE OF being discriminated against. I agree that Asians have that amazing patience/tolerance or whatever you want to call it ability to tune all that bs out and just plug along. Heck, even folks that feel they are most discriminated against, would use Asians as a punching bag to show their indignant of being discriminated against (just as chris rock).
ParticipantIt’ll be interesting to see how the rhetoric from trump will affect the trump brand. I don’t think we’re going to see a trump tower in mexico, china, japan, etc.. going up anytime soon. trump is a savvy businessman, I wonder if he had thought it – alienating a few billion folks for something that he’s most likely won’t be able to get – through before he ran.
Participant[quote=paramount][quote=ltsdd]
and again demonstrate to the whole board what a fool you are. Why must you make up lies just to make a counter argument? No one said anything about trump “had anything to do with DD”. The discussion was about his failure to disavow DD’s endorsement and his assertion that he didn’t know who DD is (which he did and had discussed about him numerous times in the past).[/quote]Please provide evidence showing that trump discussed dd numerous times in the past.[/quote]
