Hopefully this results in all the property management companies that use this being forced to give tenants refunds. If you live in an apartment complex run by a corporate property management company you are probably paying higher rent because of this and even if you don't you are probably still paying higher rent because these companies drive the prices up for everyone.

If you drive at dangerous speeds you deserve to be pulled over and lose your license. It is not the polices fault some people are selfish and feel the need to put other people's lives at risk and in danger. The police can't win they ignore it the person could kill some one they give chase and try to stop them they could still kill some one. It is best to stop them as soon as possible.

Lots of these alien sightings are just top secret technology that we or other countries have.
Now with drone technology we can make all kinds of weird looking flying objects that can fly like crazy because they don't have to worry about a human pilot passing out.
There is a ton of development going into hypersonic missile technology both in tracking and defending against hypersonic objects and developing hypersonic missile. And you have the stealth bombers that got mistaken for UFOs in the past. It is highly unlikely we have alien technology and every time there is a UFO craze tons of grifters come out of the wood work.

I used to dominate when I played assassins creed 3 multi player I loved it. It was such a unique experience and you actually had to learn how to play and have an understanding of the mechanics to get good. I don't think many people had the patience to learn the game.
And I got super good at both Tom Clancy HAWX games.

That is what I miss the most about the 360 era of gaming every game had a multiplayer mode tacked on and I loved playing all the weird multiplayer games. Now they are all dead and forgotten and no one will ever get to experience them again.

Yeah Biden is killing it lately and the economy is absolutely crushing it.

Gas is dropping just filled my car up for around 2.50 a gallon I bet we see gas dip below 2 dollars soon. I don't rent but I am hearing my co workers talk about how their rent went down. Their rent is literally 100 dollars less that is 100 extra dollars a month in their pocket. Biden is rocking it and you have to be blind not to see it.

Rent is not going down because the government isn't forcing all landlords to lower down to a certain amount based on area nationwide. Plenty scheming landlords get away with their cons not being regulated against desperate renters trying to stay housed. Things are only getting worse and they will continue to do so over time. It's definitely not the Dems fault though.

I mean things are objectively getting better how can you not see it. Biden is fighting to not only lower rent but now he is lowering the price of groceries he is going after the big corporate grocery stores.

This why weed should not be legal. The stuff people smoke today is not the stuff the hippies smoked in the 60s. There is a link between marijuana use and violent crime as this study shows. And the lobbyists for marijuana try to hide these studies. Much like how tobacco lobbyists fought to hide the negative effects of cigarettes.
One question I asked that no one wants to answer is how can a drug that causes paranoia and anxiety be used to treat anxiety?

I see a lot of people act like no weed does not in fact make you violent.
Yet in the news I saw that story about the guy who beheaded his dad.
And that guy was an avid pot smoker which probably didn't help his mental problems and violent tendencies.
As weed becomes more and more potent and readily available who knows what madness we will see happen. And don't get me started on the people who claim to drive better while high that is just irresponsible.
