I haven't had issues with Delta (aside from their website not working at all for me sometimes), but the tickets can be a little expensive compared to alternatives, so always good to shop around.
The House Bill 777 was introduced on March 25 by Representative Kellee Dickerson, who helped fund the Louisiana Freedom Caucus. The bill would criminalize library workers and libraries for joining the American Library Association....
Genuine question, but is this bill even constitutional? Article says no, but doesn't explain why. Still, a similar bill could easily say that people are not allowed to join any other kind of organization (except presumably a religious one), right?
So what they’re saying is the law only applies to Christians? Satanists are plenty happy with abortions and contraceptives, surely they’d get a pass if their religious texts encourage it.
I think the biggest issue here is the corporations purchasing these homes in bulk. Had these been owned as, say, someone’s second home, they would naturally care more for the property as the property would be a lot more personal to the owner. Individual owners with only one or two properties for rent also have significantly less power in controlling the market as they would be forced to compete with each other. Corporations owning sizable percentages of the homes in an area can essentially set their own prices, especially since they can afford to buy properties well above market rate from individual owners looking to sell.
As someone who knows people who are small landlords in the area, it has become a very toxic place for both renters and individual landlords. At least one of the people I know is at the point of packing up and leaving the state because of how bad it is to own and rent there. While giving renters these additional rights is a step in the right direction against corporate landlords, I think it would honestly be better to find a way to disincentivize people/companies from owning so many properties in the first place so that more individual ownership can happen. Imagine if people in the city actually owned their homes.
Isn’t this against the US constitution? Razor wire along the state border and checkpoints on roads that cross the state border are kind of nuts. I read a comment joking that the wire and road checkpoints were to keep Texan women from escaping to New Mexico, which got a bitter laugh out of me.
Maybe Texas and Puerto Rico can swap status. Puerto Rico can become a state in exchange for Texas freeing up the slot, then we don’t even need to change any songs or anything.
