Yeah like I said, if you want action taken, you'll have to take it upstairs. No use appealing to the crew who ignored it in the first place. And the Admins here have a boss, too. It's either that, or let it go and worry about somebody maybe stalking you, or maybe this convo gets seen and taken seriously. But it's on you, there's a right way to handle it if you want something done.

What I mean is I'd rather have him here where I can keep an eye on him.

Unless he's posting on your wifi right now, with a weapon and/or sex organ in his hand. And an old detective magazine. And more than six blueberry pies.

Fact check on this Trump FB post? 5k median income increase?

Average Median Income rose: $400 in 8 years under Bush, $975 in 8 years under Obama and $5,000 in just over 2 1/2 under Trump!

FRED doesn't have figures from after 2018 (so only one year into Trump's presidency). If you look at real median household income, it was $57.0K in 2014 and surged to $61.8K in 2016. Growth has mysteriously slowed since. It's a mystery because what should drive growth is tight labor markets. So even though we returned to growth in 2009, we had a five-year period where unemployment was still very high. As the level has fallen, we should expect to see continued strong income growth, but it's actually slowed. It's not really a political issue, though I can think of some policies that might have contributed very slightly to the slowdown.
 
Ggggrrrr, that place I found was low income only.

*Grumble

THE SEARCH CONTINUES

EDIT:
In hindsight a 500-600 sq ft place for $850 a month in a newer building should have been had a bell go off for me but still.

Don't you have close to a year left on your lease with Daddy and the Terrorist?

Yeah but I contacted my landlord and said:
"If he gets married or his significant other moves in can she take my spot on the lease and allow me to move out?"

Landlord said yes. If she moved in worst case I'd still be stuck paying 50% which at that stage is trash or it gets split up into 1/3s which is trash as there's one of me and his family is 3-4 people if the 9 year old is over.

I got burned on a deal like this back in the day. Don't agree to ANYTHING without the landlord present. And give yourself plenty of time to apt hunt, like more than a month.

There's a reason I'm searching right now, and legit calling places asking "how far from a move-in date are you willing to accept an application and money down?"

EDIT:
I actually called a spot and was like "if you accept very early pre-screening/applications can I pay the first months off in installments over the next year?"

Responding to myself here. Looks like some of this is based on different methods to get ahead of the annual numbers (still doesn't come close to Trump's claim), which is fine but the sample sizes are much smaller and so less reliable. Could be that 2019 will be a good year for median wage growth. Like I said, it's kind of strange that wage growth hasn't been stronger recently.
 
Aw fucking shit dudes.... I'm going to have 3 fucking W2s this year.

Goddamnit.

NO what I wrote in context (you know that thing you love to strip away to lie) was

".... Bolton seems to be a between the lines guy. Push, fight, influence but do so legally. Trump has no such boundaries."


Advocating, pushing, etc, are not the same as doing an illegal act. I can believe all international laws are invalid and wrong. I can argue to change them or even for the US to cut its own path and that does not equal breaking any laws.


So again I ask you for your proof Bolton has broken laws as you suggest.

I'm taking this to the Lounge here so as not to pollute that thread further. Your posts are often unhinged and illogical. It seems you might be taking any non-agreeable response as an attack on your person. I have nothing against you, Mr. Mc. Please, for your own health, slow down and relax.

I think your latest round of Trump apologetics has cost you any credibility in the eyes of people who aren't so fanatically partisan. It's been interesting watching former libertarianish people support the idea that the president should be the unquestioned ruler of the country and above the law. Makes you wonder what the real underlying beliefs are. That's why I called your attention to Holbo's thread.

Luckily I only have 2 addresses and it will probably be pretty obvious that 1 of them is from a new job that I will have been at for over 6 months by the time I have to file but fuck. I was hoping to do my taxes myself this year with like Quick Books or some shit but nah, to HR Block I go.

Think I can write off the new brakes I purchased and installed as a work expense? :P

Seriously? 850 for something that size falls into the "too good to be true" category?

I thought only major cities were so fucked with housing. In Wisconsin I had a 900 Sq ft 1 bedroom place for 700 a month. Now here it's a 2 bedroom 2 bath 1275 sq ft for $925 and I feel like that's steep but can't find anything for less that isn't setting off the sketchy alarms. Plus, I've kind of fallen in love with a 2 car attached garage and couldn't go back. Sadly student loans prevent me from looking to buy.
