I googled it out of curiosity into how Ivermectin became a thing for Covid and while it doesn't appear that the mechanism is fully understood, according to the studies that were performed with it; it did seem to improve the condition.

According to this meta-analysis of 63 different studies, there's a statistical improvement in patients that take Ivermectin as a prophylactic measure or during the early stage of the virus. 24 of 27 studies show an 88.9% improvement in early treatment. 20 in 22 show a 90.9% improvement. 14 out of 14 show a 100% improvement. All together, it's 58 studies out of 63 showing a 92.1% reporting of positive effects.

https://ivmmeta.com

At least 44 of those 63 trials were peer reviewed. Even selecting just the peer reviewed trials it shows 70% improvement overall.

I'm not saying this is a justification for taking Ivermectin. I'm not a doctor. But the rhetoric is there's no evidence to support it does anything to affect covid. Which, I guess if you don't understand the mechanism for it then the statement holds up. I also understand that even peer reviewed studies can be flawed, but there are apparently 44 of them. Those studies to me seem like there's at least some evidence that Ivermectin helps (the human kind, not the horse kind).

Of course, whether or not it's a thing doesn't mean you should not get a vaccine or otherwise. So what are the issues with these peer reviewed studies I'm missing? I tried finding a concise explanation for the flaws only to find one of the major studies having plagiarism concerns and being retracted. What about the other 62 or the 43?

It seems again to me that we're back down the path of hyperbole and this is the covid news media equivalent of "THIS NEW DRUG WILL CURE CANCER" when it ended up killing a couple of cancer cells in a lab trial. Obviously nobody shouldn't be eating horse goo, but if Joe Rogan's doc prescribed him some ivermectin and it doesn't have any negative impact on his health, why are we upset?

Yeah but here's the thing, you need a prescription from a doctor to get the human pills, and of course no doctor in their right mind is going to prescribe it for COVID prevention. You know what you don't need a prescription for? The horse variant.

it's used to treat acne in humans, as a topical treatment.

it's not meant for humans to eat horse paste formulated for animals.

it's also not for viral infections.

it's making people go blind and causing organ failure.

because it's for animals and they're eating it.

I know it's fun to be hyperbolic about the horse medicine and what not but like, they make human pills for it. We all know that right? It appears to be useless for fighting covid but always referring to it as a horse dewormer feels like the same thing as the old cigarette ads that used to say cigs had rat poison in them.

For a while India even included it as part of their home treatment kits sent out by their government. They've since taken it out because it doesn't do anything, but it was still thought to be, at the very least, a relatively harmless addition to their medication.

I mean, yeah, don't jam some weird horse shit in your body. But as fun as it is to make fun of these idiots, let's call a spade a spade.

Seeking a money judgment for past rent is your legal recourse but I guess you already hand waved that away because reasons.

Because you can't get blood from a stone. Landlords ameliorate their risks from bad tenants by getting them out of the building so they can get paying tenants. I don't know how you're not getting this. Tell me how someone who has either been unwilling or unable to rent is suddenly going to be capable of paying back thousands of dollars?

Is that a reasonable cost to expect of a low wage worker?

Clench281 posted...

Landlords of long term residences provide no real value. They simply are able to extract wealth from others because they had the benefit of already having more capital than others. Forgive me for not feeling bad for landlords ANY time, but especially during a pandemic.

Okay then don't rent from them. Don't use banks either. Or buy anything from a business. Go find an undiscovered plot of land (because you can't buy one from a bank who's only extracting wealth from others by having the benefit of already having more capital than others), build your own tools, farm it, and make your own life.

Or, and I know this is crazy, accept that when you enter into an agreement with someone you have to fulfill your end of the bargain as much as they do. And if you are unwilling or unable to fulfill your end of the bargain then the lease needs to be terminated and you have to find something else that will suit your purposes. Apply for Section 8. Live with a parent. Do whatever you gotta do.

I'd like to ask all of you this - if everyone was receiving assistance and is allegedly able to pay their bills with it, then why have an eviction moratorium at all? Maybe think through the logic.

I'll respond to the rest of this shit later.

Also, I have to laugh at "housing provider." Landlords are middlemen. They don't create or provide housing any more than a grocery store creates or provides vegetables. The service landlords provide is to take on the risks of property ownership so those without the capital to cover those risks can live somewhere (albeit at a premium that, in many cases, quickly totals more than that necessary capital would have been). That changes when you start dealing with larger developments, whose parent companies do create housing, but you're focusing on par-time landlords, so we'll stick to that (especially where the corporate landlords do tend to be the ones laughing on their yachts while they double people's rents for no reason). Trying to use euphemisms for "landlord" isn't fooling anyone.

Well turns out that does count for something then doesn't it? Are banks also middlemen because they're only taking on the risk of taking money from savings and lending them to borrowers? Guess we better get rid of fuckin banks, right?

Fortunately for you a lot of landowners have been selling their properties off because of this bullshit so congrats. I guess you get to be safe in knowing you can rent from Walmart Properties (TM) forever.

As much as I hate to be callous about that, real estate is well-known to be a high risk investment. This has always been true, as much as large rental corporations have been pushing to erode tenant rights in an effort to reduce that risk. If somebody's making such a high risk investment without establishing a Plan B to cover their costs if it goes awry, that's just poor planning on their part, such that it's hard to sympathize with it. I'm all for improving the ability to evict and secure compensation from genuinely bad tenants, since there are as many horror stories out there of horrible tenants as there are of horrible landlords, but not at the expense of the countless good tenants that don't actively destroy the properties they rent.

Long term real estate is literally not a high risk investment. It's never been 'well-known to be a high risk investment'. It's only high risk if you operate on investment into things like short sales. Any risk in the investment is mitigated by due diligence and thorough research - which, as it turns out, goes out the window when the government decides to change the law arbitrarily and apparently illegally.

And no, you're not for improving the ability to protect the rights of landlords because you are right now actively defending the most egregious offense against their rights. You can't say you're for it and also be against it.

adjl posted...

Furthermore, there's a global pandemic afoot that has drastically affected most people's ability to make money. Why shouldn't landlords expect to similarly lose income? Conversely, landlords should also expect the same supports that are being offered to other people that are losing income, as appropriate (and the fact that they aren't being properly distributed is indeed a problem), but the notion that landlords losing money from the eviction moratorium is inherently so terrible that it would justify doing away with it is granting landlords a special status that no other businesses are seeing, and there's just no reason for that.

Because people as still taking their product without paying for it? During the pandemic was Walmart opening its doors and allowing people to take everything for free? Did Amazon take a hit when everyone got free goods delivered to them all the time? Or did that never happen because they were providing a product that people still were required to legally pay for?

The problem in your case is the mom and pop landlords aren't getting the support everyone else is getting and very often only seeing the negatives. Tenants got support directly. Commercial landlords got support directly. The middle did not - as usual and are now dealing with the squeeze that comes from both ends.

adjl posted...

And you know what? I appreciate that you've done that, and I'm sorry that you're being adversely affected by measures meant to protect tenants from less empathetic landlords. Much like good tenants often end up being hurt by measures meant to compensate for bad ones, good landlords often end up being hurt by measures meant to restrict bad ones. It's unfair all around, such that the whole system needs a lot of drastic changes. Unfortunately, the bad landlords tend to also make the most money (by virtue of cutting costs to improve their margins, which in turn allows them to purchase more properties), which gives them the lobbying power to keep screwing over tenants and good landlords alike, so who knows what it'll take to actually effect those changes.

So...I guess fuck the good landlords by not allowing them to have a legal recourse for resolving their issues which is how the system was built? Cool. Let's have more bad landlords and less good landlords.

The landlords are still owed their money and they can pursue legal action later. Don't worry, those poor, poor landlords will be just fine

You're absolutely fucking dreaming if you think landlords are going to get 10's of thousands of dollars out of tenants who have refused to pay over the last 16 months. Most landlords will write off the cost of a couple months of non-payment because they know they'll never get the money. But that's a couple of months. Not 16.

Clench281 posted...

Yeah, and your tenant could die before paying rent, a tree could fall on your house, etc. I guess that's a risk you ultimately take on with an investment property (not a this-is-a-guaranteed-positive-return property)

Yeah, that's not how it works. You see the reason we have this thing called eviction is so that landlords have a legal avenue for reducing their risk in their investment. Turns out when the government says they no longer have a legal recourse - that tends to be a bad thing and is kinda against the whole point of the judicial branch of government.

People buy investments with the understanding that there are situations where they may have bad tenants and they may have to deal with consequences of getting them out of their unit. You factor this into your rate of return with the assumption that the government isn't going to come in and tell you that you have no legal right to get rid of your problem tenants for 16 goddamn months.

How can anyone be so obtuse as to believe what you do? Is your cognitive dissonance really that strong or are you acting in bad faith?

I get that it's kind of your thing to think you're better than everyone, but maybe you need to take a step back and take your head out of your own ass every once in a while.

Last month (June), California officials streamlined applications for the money after advocates said many renters had given up on the process due to its complexity and language and technology barriers.

https://archive.is/KVHdY#selection-4673.0-4673.270 (Wall Street Journal)

The money has been slow to reach landlords, though that has recently improved, Treasury officials said. The National Apartment Association, however, says this money is inadequate to cover the rent debt hole. It is suing the U.S. government for an additional $26 billion.
Retired couple Rebecca and John Faulkner own a rental home in western New York, where they say they are owed more than $13,000 in unpaid rent, dating back to March of 2020. Their tenant has refused their pleas to pay and installed a Private Property No Trespassing sign in the front window of the house, Ms. Faulkner said.

https://www.fox10tv.com/news/coronavirus/landlords-are-running-out-of-money-we-dont-get-unemployment/article_4fb06b5b-3502-563c-8dc8-1a924b5862cb.html

If landlords are struggling, tenants will also be affected as home maintenance slides. "I'm seeing landlords who can't pay for trash removal," Gray said. "We're getting 'no heat' calls. They aren't paying real estate taxes. They aren't paying their mortgage." He said one property his company manages had a plumbing problem that cost around $38,000. The owner did not pay the bill.
Some landlords, he said, are being paid less and seeing the wear and tear on their property increase as grown children or friends double up after losing their own housing. Routine maintenance that was supposed to take place this year has in some cases been delayed or canceled because landlords just don't have the money, said Gray. "They can legislate the need to do timely repairs," he said. "But for many landlords, there is no money."

Lets talk about those mean old landlords shall we? Always just these greedy parasites taking everyones money while theyre living the high life drinking champagne and eating caviar right?

According to a survey performed by Avail a subsidiary of realtor.com - As of 2017 55% of all rental units were owned by 8 million part-time landlords colloquially referred to as Mom and Pop. These landlords, in total, owned 24 million units approximately three units per person (units defined as an individual rentable entity IE apartment, house, etc.)

Of these people the majority are between 30-59 years old and maintain full-time jobs while landlording on the side. Of those respondents only 4.7% inherited their property.

But they gotta be making so much money right?

(Greg Brown, senior vice president for government affairs for the National Apartment Association ) He said only $0.10 of every $1 that a housing provider receives is profit, with the remainder going to mortgage payments, property taxes or other operating expenses.

Most small landlords do not have access to credit to cover their costs from lost rent payments. More than half (58%) said they did not have access to any lines of credit that might help them in an emergency, according to Avail.

What about my own experience? I bought, as my first home, a duplex while making $50,000k a year (under the average wage for my state) several years ago. To date, I have never received a dime from friends or family through inheritance or otherwise to get me to where I am today not the least of which for the properties I own.

I net on this first property right now a grand total of $450 a month (about 15% of the total rent after mortgage/taxes but BEFORE maintenance costs) after years of rent increases and improvements to the property. I do all my own maintenance. Ive upgraded the property out of my pocket. I, during the pandemic, offered as much personal assistance to my tenants as possible to the point where I reduced rent for a number of months out of my own pocket just to help people out in a shitty time.

They got relief, too, which you would know if you weren't so busy simping for these greedy whiners.

I'm so glad you brought this up so I can mansplain to you my experience as a landlord. I will caveat this by saying that I, mercifully, have not had to deal with tenants who refused to pay. The one tenant who was unable(or unwilling) to pay ended up leaving willingly. Otherwise I've had good tenants who have been able to keep their employment throughout. This is gonna be a long one boys so buckle the fuck up.

Let's talk about the relief shall we?

The relief for the pandemic comes from the CARES act and an additional funding by the treasury later in the pandemic. This funding was distributed to states to be disbursed at the local level. The local resource allocation rules vary widely and very frequently were not effective in covering the costs incurred through the pandemic for a great many people.

At the start - resources were distributed with little regard to infrastructure in the disbursement of funds at the local level which left many small towns or towns with little to spare in terms of resources with no way to intake relief requests. Sure, Los Angeles has the staff to stand up a web portal to intake rental assistance requests a town in butt fuck Nebraska does not. So requests like that were typically limited to being done in person. A little bit of an ask in the middle of a pandemic, no?

But how much were these local resources paying out? Well, it varies by municipality. Broward County FL. as an example paid up to a maximum of 60% of owed rent. So that means the landlord is taking the brunt of a 40% hit to their rental income through that program and gaps in these sorts of programs existed across the country. In the meantime, you have a backlogged system that can take months to process an application and provide assistance. This, of course, is after fulfilling the requirement of a hardship which in itself can take a considerable amount of time to justify. You have to have already missed rent payments for that particular hardship to have occurred in order to qualify for the assistance on top of the myriad of other rules for assistance.

This of course, is assuming all the tenants are good tenants who are trying their best to fulfill their obligations. The relief for, as I understand it, every one of these programs goes directly through the tenants. Nothing can come from the landlords themselves. So they have to rely entirely on the good will of the tenant to apply for and receive the assistance. In some areas it requires an agreement between both tenant and landlord but even in these cases the tenant agreement is required. Heres what a bad tenant has to do in order to not pay their rent and not be evicted nothing.

At this point there are now people through this pandemic who will have not paid their rent for 16 months. If these people had applied for rent assistance in Broward County in a 2 bedroom apartment (average rent of $1,556), that means for that one renter the landlord is out $10,000. Very likely even more considering utilities arent covered under this arrangement. And thats assuming the best case scenario for a good renter. They could just as easily be out $25,000 and still have a renter in their unit that they cant get rid of.

Here are some random news excerpts about reimbursement

https://www.montanasports.com/millions-still-struggling-to-pay-rent-despite-relief

The state of New York received nearly $3 billion from the Emergency Rental Assistance Program yet the state has only doled out less than 1% of the funds.

Congress approved nearly $47 billion to pay landlords as tenants fell behind on rent. As of June 30, only $3 billion of the total had been distributed.

In some states, tenants must provide a signed, written declaration to their landlord showing that they've tried to obtain assistance. That application could be used as a defense against eviction for a full year.
https://www.cnbc.com/2020/04/02/coronavirus-small-landlords-struggle-as-renters-stop-payments.html

Greg Brown, senior vice president for government affairs for the National Apartment Association, said many of his members have expressed frustration with residents who are unresponsive and dont show up to court.

The latest estimate for outstanding rental debt nationwide is $58 billion, averaging about $6,000 per renter, according to Brown.

And in February, Texas began a $1.3 billion rent relief program. At least 72,000 people have completed applications, but by the end of March only 250 had received a payment, according to a report from the Texas House Urban Affairs Committee released earlier this month.

And thats another problem for small landlords: communication. More than 60% of renters who lost their jobs due to the coronavirus did not contact their landlords, according to the Avail survey.
Avail conducted a survey in late March of more than 3,000 mom and pop landlords and over 7,000 tenants who rent from them. More than half (54%) of the renters said they had already lost their jobs due to the coronavirus outbreak, and of those, about a third said that if they couldnt afford to, they would simply stop paying rent. Some said they would look to family and friends for help, while others said they didnt know what they would do.

That will leave millions of landlords in the lurch. Most have mortgages on their properties, and while some can apply for the governments forbearance program, that doesnt cover all of their expenses. (Forbearance for the record just means that instead of paying one mortgage every month, you have to pay it all at the end of the agreed term and theres no law requiring lenders to provide a forbearance).

That was the case with Christina Kelly, a home care aide in Omaha, Neb. She lived in a house with her 17-year-old son, paying $850 a month in rent. After losing her job and when unemployment insurance ran out in August, she fell behind on her rent. Her landlord moved to evict her in December after the lease was several months expired.

Ms. Kelly found a job at a telemarketing agency and was approved for pandemic rental assistance that would cover her back rent, plus one future month, totaling $3,000. But the landlord wouldnt accept it.

(Im no mathematician but Im fairly certain $3000 dollars doesnt cover 5 months of rent at $850)

Oh cool so scotus is just accelerating the housing crash now.

As opposed to what? Just having a moratorium indefinitely?

I don't agree with the moratorium in general because I think it's absurd that the government could just tell you you're not allowed to the laws that enable the business to work. However, I could at least understand it when people were on lockdowns, businesses were getting shut down, and a not insignificant percent of the population was completely unable to work on government orders. I don't agree with it, but I understand the moratorium in that case.

Now, however, we have the lowest unemployment rate we've had in 50 years. I get that rent is high and wages are low (though companies are so desperate now I'm regularly seeing fast food in the 20's with signing bonuses), but that's pretty much business as usual for this country. It's not the CDC's responsibility to resolve the wage gap. If there's supposed to be a justification that it significantly impacts the spread of the virus then they better have some good god damn statistics to justify fucking over legitimate land owners.

Im not confident enough for an account bet, but Id be sincerely surprised if the Taliban was responsible for that bombing. Theyve already won and its in their best interest to let enemy forces (us) evacuate ASAP so that way we can go back to not giving a shit the same way we did prior to 9/11.

I wouldn't think they would be involved either based on my limited understanding of them. As brutal and disgusting as they can be, I think they're pretty measured in their actions.

I wouldn't be surprised if this sparks some sort of cooperation between the US and Taliban. Not a lasting cooperation maybe, but something.

Thats if you assume the Taliban orchestrated it, which I doubt. There are multiple jihadist organizations operating over there. Hell, when I was in Iraq half the time we heard of a suicide bombing it was some Sunni bomber blowing up a bunch of Shia or vice versa.

What does the Taliban think of ISIS? Apparently ISIS thinks of the Taliban as the leftist idiots of their country. But I don't think I've ever seen the Taliban comment on ISIS other than saying they're too extreme?

I'd think the Taliban would want to stomp them out given it's basically a Taliban country now.

Usually 3-4 spoonfuls out of my jar of minced stuff. It's way more than the conversion the jar gives (it says 1 clove=1/2 tsp, the spoonfuls in question are generally more like a tablespoon each), but I see no reason to let that stop me.

Gross. Always use fresh garlic. That minced stuff is garbo and it takes next to no effort to chop up or press some good, fresh garlic.

As for me, it depends on the size of the cloves. If they're big bois, I'll stick to the four. If not I usually throw in a couple extra.

"High traffic" means very frequent play on the lawn, though. If it's just a matter of "sometimes the kids like to go outside and run around," you don't need anything nearly as hardy as grass.

I dont know what kinda nerd childhood you had but I was doing that quite literally every day. And again, sports is rough on everything even grass.

And we're arguing about this again for 1% of water conservation if every person (at least in my state) agreed to complete remove their lawns. I reduce my water spending during drought months and that's about the most interest I can muster in the solution.

Well, a parking lot isn't really a path. But anyway.

This topic is very obviously targeting ornamental lawns that serve no other function than the aesthetic. If you actually, truly and honestly participate in the kind of activities that require a large amount of lawn space, at the frequency that otherwise damages plants like clover, then go ahead and keep/maintain your grass lawn. You are in the less than 1% of households that do so (while also lacking access to, or opting not to use, local parks).

I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt that it isn't the far more likely scenario that you're defending your lawn just to keep up the illusion that just maybe you might use it some day (like people who keep their running shoes and gym membership despite not going in months if not years).

There's what, like 10 million families in the US with kids? Even that's probably conservative. Kids like lawns. Parents can't always take them to the park and there be pedophiles in them there hills.

Do you actually have kids right now Smar or are you talking hypothetically? Cause if you do that really snuck up on me, especially if they're already old enough to appreciate playing on a lawn any more than crawling around on the floor

Nah. Not that I'm aware of anyway. But it'll happen eventually. I do however frequently have my sisters kids over and we enjoy my lawn and play cornhole and soccer and shit. Cause lawns are A-OK in my book.

Plus, I actually enjoy taking care of my lawn probably in the same way people enjoy buying flowers and what not for their home. It's a nice little hobby.
