DogMuffins , in A fight erupts in U.S. housing market as deteriorated affordability clashes with the 'lock-in effect'

Settle down mate. This is all far too complex and there are all together too many words up in your shit.

It’s far simpler to just blame AirBnB like we usually do.

History has shown the working middle class owning a home is good for the economy because of upward mobility.

pancakesyrupyum , in A sexy outfit can get you arrested in Phoenix — especially if you’re Black or trans

It’s Phoenix. She’s lucky the cops didn’t execute her on the spot.

Y’all remember that time they did that? I remember.

chaogomu ,

The time? It's only happened once? I remember it a bit differently.

pancakesyrupyum ,

Wait, you’re telling me police officers in Phoenix have executed a random person more than once?

Next you’re going to tell me they’ve recently kept slaves in air-conditionless tents in one of the hottest counties in the country.

Blamemeta , in A sexy outfit can get you arrested in Phoenix — especially if you’re Black or trans

She was a prostitute and got caught. im so tired of these rage bait headlines

VirulentAura ,

The point is that you shouldn’t be arrested for a thought crime just for dressing slutty. She wasn’t cought prostituting, she was cought with condoms and “dressed provocatively.” I feel like you only read the title.

    And the trans person leaving their home? What was their crime?

    They didn’t say it was a stranger.

    And getting into a car with a stranger

    Is getting into a car with a stranger a crime?

    If the cops ever find my Uber history, I'm in trouble.

    w2tpmf ,

    She got arrested for getting into a strangers car after she asked him if he’s looking have a “date”.

    They didn’t just pluck her off the sidewalk as she was minding her own business.

    VirulentAura ,

    So she wanted to get dicked down. What’s the problem?

    So what, why does society care about two people getting into the same car together?

    Also, they’re just making crap up that isn’t anywhere in the article

    Lmaydev ,

    She was arrested for manifestation of prostitution on May 17, 2013 after accepting a ride home from an undercover Phoenix police officer whom she had met at a bar. A few minutes after getting in the car, a police vehicle pulled up, and she realized she had been caught up in an anti-prostitution sting. That night, Jones was wearing a “black, tight-fitting dress,” the Phoenix police officer testified at trial. She was in an area known to have prostitution activity, he claimed, never mind that the arrest occurred near where Jones lived. A municipal court judge sentenced her to a month in jail.

    I think getting a lift home resulting in a prostitution charge is pretty ridiculous.

    JazzAlien ,

    🤡

    Eladarling ,

    You shouldn’t be arrested for a crime you haven’t committed yet. There is no evidence of a crime, just a woman in a dress with condoms in her purse.

    snooggums ,
    @snooggums@kbin.social avatar

    Just a new version of blaming women for what they are wearing. Maybe not even that new.

    0xDEADBEEF ,

    It shouldn’t even be illegal in the first place but go off bozo

    Moyer1666 ,

    Prostitution shouldn’t be illegal anyway

    Moyer1666 ,

    This shouldn’t be illegal anyway

    someguy3 ,

    So catch them in the act of, you know, prostitution. Not in the act of, you know, wearing clothes.

    Good. Make everything more repairable please. I’d rather a device be a little heavier/thicker with easily replaceable parts.

    SayJess , in Pay Raises Are Finally Beating Inflation After Two Years of Falling Behind

    I’ve worked 2 manufacturing jobs in the past 2 years, and know others that work at other factories. We have not received raises that track with inflation, ever. I know this is anecdotal, but lived experiences often differ to what stats are cited.

    wnose , in No winner in Monday's Powerball drawing has the next jackpot approaching $1 billion

    Why can't they just split it up and make it 100 $10 million prizes?

    13esq ,

    The Euro millions has a €240M cap at which the jackpot is divided up in to the lower tier prizes if there is still no winner. The UK national lottery has a cap on roll overs at 5 where the top prize will roll down to the lower tiers if no winner remains.

    RGB3x3 ,

    Because then you wouldn’t get the people who rarely play to throw money in.

    The bigger jackpots incentivize those who don’t play for the “pennies” at less than 500 million. They actually reduced the odds of winning a few years ago for this exact reason.

    son_named_bort ,

    If 100 people have the winning numbers then that’s what’ll happen.

    TenderfootGungi ,

    They actually changed it, making it harder to win, to create these giant jackpots. The huge number draws people in.

    Only dead Nazis are good.

    Ertebolle ,

    I hear this a lot, but honestly, even a dead nazi is still, y'know, a nazi. It's good that they're dead, but you should definitely mutilate the corpse.

    redballooon , in The temperature in China hit 52.2°C (126°F)

    There’s too much red in this picture. They really should use another baseline. If red would start only at 40 Degree Celsius, the globe would look much more welcoming.

    Look, I’m just trying to give productive feedback.

    Except China is proud of their red.

    docmox , in A fight erupts in U.S. housing market as deteriorated affordability clashes with the 'lock-in effect'

    This is going to have an interesting effect on the labor market. With people being ‘locked-in’ it will ultimately reduce worker mobility. Combine with the emphasis on ‘back to the office’, this will reduce the labor pool available to employers.

    The good news is that new build costs are coming down and builders are starting to ramp up again.

    UltraMagnus0001 ,

    History has shown the working middle class owning a home is good for the economy because of upward mobility. I think you have it spot on.

    Use the 3 year olds in prison to make the guns for the 1 year olds to arm themselves! Fuckin bang two for one.

    Then send thoughts and prayers when it happens over and over again. We’ve done nothing to fix the problem and there’s nothing we can do about it!

    ZooGuru , in Investigation finds no fraud by Texas prison contractor that was paid despite cutting inmate therapy services
    @ZooGuru@lemmy.world avatar

    Wouldn’t this still be fraud? It’s defrauding taxpayers, surely. Just because the prison said it was okay should not make the practice acceptable. Maybe that makes the prisons culpable instead of the firm offering services? Crazy.

    Yea I'm confused... The private prison officials sanctioned themselves to defraud Texas?

    fatcat420 , in Laid-off Twitter Africa team 'ghosted' without severance pay or benefits, former employees say | CNN Business

    CNN reached out to Twitter for comment on the status of the severance package for the former employees in the Ghana office but received an automated response – a poop emoji. It’s unclear whether Twitter still has a media relations department.

    This is just sad.
