Jk I would

Someone tell our coders to add thecoli emojis for the love of god.

It often is in North America. The fact is public transport is often terrible, so people don’t use it if they don’t have.

Now that should be a sign towards “hey, let’s improve transit”, not “let’s never consider transit”

Even progressive liberals still view transit as a last-resort public service that only the poor and desperate use.

that’s cause it is

Every American movie out there shows people at their lowest point riding the bus. It’s so normal everywhere else.

I even hear people say it while riding transit. There was a fight on the Portland MAX while I was riding home the other day and one guy said "If you had [money] then you wouldn't be on the MAX"

Bro some of us just hate driving and parking

Public transit being cheaper is a pro not a con

actually sharing your space with poors is a good thing

He invested in crypto, got lucky, realized that he didn't deserve all that money, so he decided to reinvest in his community public services to help those less fortunate than him and help to make his city more efficient and safer for everyone, then he realized that public transit was the superior option? What a Chad!

plot twist: he got out before the bubble burst, moved somewhere with good public transport, and can take the bus to things he wants to do without needing to work anymore

sounds like heck on earth

I own the house (30F), and I am also moving out at the end of the month to join my partner in a different state (military). I have new tenants renting the entire house starting January 1. This has been the plan since I started dating my partner in January, and regularly communicated to my roommate (35F) who has been renting a room in the house at significantly below market rate for the past 2.5 years.

Long story short roommate is upset that she has to move out, and has refused to say a single word to me for over a month. Even when I attempt to speak to her when present in the same room.

In mid-November I gave her notice by email, text, and in her renter portal to move out by 12p on 12/31. She does not respond to any text messages. I let her borrow a bookcase and I asked her when she planned to clear it off so that I could sell it. No response. I reiterated and gave 24 hours or else I would consider it stolen and would file a police report. Nothing. I then sent a certified letter with notice to inspect. That letter is still sitting on my counter unopened, but I did go into the room at the day and time designated, filmed myself emptying the bookcase, and removing it. I also took a photo of a half-eaten plate of Chinese food that was probably 5 hours old and ended up remaining in the room overnight.

There is no sign of her packing her things. She told our neighbor that she has not found a place yet and is “considering all her options.” She turned down a FREE room in my neighbor’s house because she thinks it would be best to move away and move on from the “resentment” she is harboring over this situation.

I told her that the internet will be shut off on the 28th as that’s the day I’m moving out and I’m taking my equipment (I pay for the internet, she never has). Today I offered $500 cash to move out by/on the 28th as well. No response. At this point I’m thinking she may have blocked my number.

I’m beyond upset, frustrated, and stressed at this grown woman’s behavior. She will be in the same room as me, I’ll try to say something, and she literally will not respond. She continues to move around the house without a word. She will go out the front door and walk around to the back to get to her car to avoid crossing paths with me. Her behavior is completely irrational and makes me incredibly nervous that she won’t leave. The new tenants can sue me if they aren’t able to move in. It’s insane to me that I can’t remove someone from a house that I own and live in and just have to wait. It’s all I can think about.

On Wednesday I packed up my entire house, everything in the kitchen including plates, pans, utensils since everything in this house is mine. I put all the boxes in my bedroom and now have a camera in my room to make sure she doesn’t enter, as I’m about to travel for the holiday.

It didn’t have to be this way, and I greatly regret letting her stay here. I wanted to provide someone with affordable housing and now I’m spending a ridiculous amount of money in attorney fees and security measures.

Update

Long story short, roommate removed all of her possessions and left the keys on the counter by 12pm today. House is now ready for the next tenants to move in tomorrow.

Things that happened between my post and today:

• While I was away for the holidays, she dragged the outdoor patio table into the house. I spoke sternly through the backyard camera to stop and put it back, but she didn't comply. Now there are a bunch of water ring stains on the table.

• I had packed up the silverware--rubber bands around the forks, knives, etc. and had them nicely placed into a paper shopping bag for donation. In my rush, I forgot to put it in my room. So she unpacked all of it and threw out the shopping bag.

• She invited her family from Alaska to stay at the house for a week.

• She entered my room and showed her dad my bathroom, which he proceeded to use. Extremely unnecessary—theres a common bathroom (her bathroom) in the hallway. I know this happened because I had a camera set up in my room, watching over all my moving boxes that I had stacked in there.

• They ate my food and used my condiments. I had all of my stuff in a box in the pantry (not much, just some bread, crackers, cookies, etc.) Someone unpacked it all and set the contents on the shelves for no good reason. I had purchased a new container of butter a few days before I left, there was 1/5 of it remaining when I got home. Using my condiments happened pretty much every time I was traveling, but this time it was the most blatantly obvious.

• She took most the boxes I had saved from deliveries and used them to pack her own stuff.

• She failed to clean the freezer space where she had all of her stuff (tons of crumbs and such in the bin) and I had put all of her refrigerator items in boxes yesterday so the cleaners could easily pull her food out while they did their work and put it back in after.

• She took my nice OXO shower caddy organizer ($50)

I have zero interest in renting a room to anyone ever again. It's either the entire house or nothing. I understand the importance of tenant rights but someone renting a room in an owner-occupied property should not have equal rights as someone renting a whole property. Not being able to remove this child-behaving 35 year old from my own home caused me way more emotional distress than it was worth.

i really don't like this

disgust

i love them so much

Black Lives Matter risks going bankrupt after running an $8.5 million deficit last year, financial disclosures indicate.

The Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation (BLMGNF) saw the value of investment accounts fall by almost $10 million in the most recent tax year, according to a copy of its tax return, first reported by The Washington Free Beacon, a conservative website.

The nonprofit's latest Form 990 shows that a loss of just over $961,000 was logged on a securities sale of $172,000. The disclosures suggest a year of missteps for the foundation, as well as a dramatic drop in donations.

The foundation was started by organizers of the Black Lives Matter movement, which first emerged in 2013 following the acquittal of George Zimmerman in the killing of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin. It is not the sole organization within the broader movement but is the largest and most well-funded.

Donations amounted to about $9.3 million for the period between July 1, 2021, and June 30, 2022, while net assets stood at about $30 million. By comparison, for the period between July 1, 2020, and June 30, 2021, the organization reported donations of nearly $77 million, while net assets amounted to $42 million, suggesting a sizeable drop in both categories.

Brian Mittendorf, a professor of accounting at Ohio State University, told Newsweek that the "financials indicate spending down some of the windfall the organization received in the previous fiscal year.

"This does not necessarily mean the organization is headed toward insolvency. However, if their revenues continue as they are after the windfall from 2020-2021, they cannot maintain the spending level from 2022 indefinitely, so the organization would need to shrink its spending footprint to be sustainable."

Mittendorf said while the overall investment losses "are consistent with losses in the market as a whole during this time period, the huge loss on disposed assets is concerning."

BLMGNF shared with the Associated Press in May 2022 that it had invested in stocks about a third ($32 million) of the $90 million it received as donations amid racial justice protests in 2020 following the killing of George Floyd.

Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors acknowledged in an interview last year that BLM was not prepared to handle the wave of contributions that came in following the murder of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police.

She stepped down as executive director in 2021, on the heels of controversy over the foundation's finances and her personal wealth. Cullors told the AP last year that neither she nor anyone else in leadership misused donations.

The nonprofit's latest tax form shows that although Cullors has departed, contracts to her family have continued.

Her brother, Paul Cullors, and his two companies were paid $1.6 million for "professional security services" for the tax period ending June 2022. He is listed as one of only two paid employees during the year, receiving a $124,702 salary for his role as "head of security."

Shalomyah Bowers, the foundation's board secretary, told the AP last year that protection could not be entrusted to the former police officers that typically run security firms, given the movement is known for its stance against law enforcement.

According to the organization's Form 990, Bowers' company, Bowers Consulting, was paid almost $1.7 million for management and consulting services.

Mittendorf said the biggest issue raised by the financial disclosures is the "continued and substantial transactions with insiders."

"While this is not improper per se, it does raise concerns about potential conflicts of interest in governing the organization. So I would hope the organization would take strides to ensure any such transactions benefited the organization and not individuals affiliated with it," he said.

Black Lives Matter Grassroots, which represents local BLM chapters, has accused Bowers in a lawsuit of treating the foundation as his "personal piggy bank" and stealing more than $10 million in donations for personal use, the Los Angeles Times reported.

The lawsuit, filed last year, alleges Bowers' actions have led the foundation into "multiple investigations by the Internal Revenue Service and various state attorney generals, blazing a path of irreparable harm to BLM in less than eighteen months."

Bowers and the foundation denied claims of financial misconduct.

Newsweek has contacted the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation for comment via email.

OP in case he deletes it

Thought I'd share my experiences with this (embarrassing as it is) in case anyone is interested.

For those who haven't experienced hunger it can be difficult to imagine.

I don't remember the last time I ate 3 meals a day. I'm lucky to even eat 1. But regularly go days without eating.

Then usually have to eat something I hate like tinned spaghetti (I've eaten so much of it I struggle to stomach it these days). But have to because it's all that's available.

Or I eat plain pasta without any sauce, or plain rice.

Ive had to eat really odd things too just to not pass out - like just eating Vegemite straight out of jar. Or when I spent a week eating just a packet of sprinkles (2 yrs past expired).

Recently I bought a packet of mints ($1.50) and ate only that for days straight. Thought I could fool the hunger pains for a bit. Backfired badly though in form of diarrhoea for days, so I learnt my lesson and won't do that again lol.

People say 'call salvos' or 'go to Foodbank'. Like they just give out baskets of free food to all in need. The reality is that's not the case (at least in my area).

Where I am:

• St Vinnie's don't give supermarket vouchers anymore

• Salvos never answer the phones and just have a pre-recorded message saying they 'have no vouchers available in my area' no matter how often or when I call.

• my local food pantry closed down

• Nearest foodbank is like 3 busses, 3 hour round trip at least away. With physical disability this is tough.

• Foodbank - most people don't realise you have to pay for food here in most cases (unless lucky enough to get a once off 'agency pay' voucher). It is not hugely cheap either - tinned fruit is $3.50 per can, tinned soup meal $3/can, margarine $3.50. Not a big saving and no good if you have no money to pay anyway. Extremely limited range, just a few shelves, 1 type fruit if lucky (none last visit, and just rotting plums times before that), most of the food is past used by or lines that didn't sell. But you still pay those prices to buy it. And only have limited amount can get ($30 in my case which was 10 items). Certainly not enough for 3 meals/day.

And all these places have limits like 3 visits per year.

Because in Australia hunger and poverty is seen as something very rare. A once-off caused by an extreme event like flood or bushfire. Not something routine which people deal with on a daily basis.

So there's no real help available.

And we suffer in silence - embarrassed and ashamed.

Because it's treated like it's something wrong with the individual, rather than the system.

The rest of the comments are equally baffling. Isn't Australia like bongland lite with their ridiculous taxes and welfare state?

This is what the OPs husband spent it on

I live in Texas (no state tax), have 2 kids, and make about 40k a year. I don't claim any exceptions for payroll taxes so my tax returns are usually 10-12k after the earned income credit.

Why wouldn’t you adjust your withholding rate ?

Because I prefer to get a lump sum of money once per year than extra income each month. I take that money and I put half into an emergency fund and the other half goes into an account for my kids that I use to pay for summer camp, field trips, extra curriculars, Christmas & bday presents, etc.

Why yes waiting a year to get 25% of my income makes sense.

By not planning properly. They are making mistakes all over the financial board most likely

You see a lot of weird comments like this in a sub talking about poverty. Bunch of responses justifying Apple product after.
