There is a post-disaster price-gouging law in California preventing just this from happening. Rent is included.

"Violations of the price gouging statute are subject to criminal prosecution that can result in one-year imprisonment in county jail and/or a fine of up to $10,000. Violations are also subject to civil enforcement actions including civil penalties of up to $2,500 per violation, injunctive relief and mandatory restitution.

The Attorney General, local district attorneys, and private individuals can bring actions for violations of the statute."

To be fair, the only people left on Xitter are idiots

ACAB but some individuals can be cool enough. Just know they could turn on you easier than others.

My landlord is a cop, but he’s also a decent guy. To me. I try to bring up liberal talking points on the sly to at least expose him to alternate opinions. He’s not against them, so that’s good.

It’s hard. I kinda have to have a mental block up against the individual’s career choice, because he’s not one of the 100% asshole / racist / fully bastard cops. I know / knew some of them too, and I won’t give them the time of day once the convo showed their true colors (which, happens within an hour or less usually).

I guess they’re comfortable showing their true colors to me over a beer because we …look the same. Gross.

But, know that if it hasn’t already happened, there’s probably some humanity left in them.

So…you’re just an asshole then?

Most CEOs are the worst kind of trump bootlickers. And musk too. My last job, CEO thought musk was a genius and had a list of his “rules for business” laminated on his desk.

Bring it. Swift end to the worst timeline. Next one might be better.

You know what, fuck it. If shitbag assholes help save democracy, bring ‘em on.

Turns out my dad is into BBW’s and I’m not, so that was pretty easy to just delete.

Mix them.

Equal parts mayo and mustard, about half that of ketchup, and you got a delicious fry sauce.

The one in / from back to the future should be sufficient.
