You realize correlation and causation are different... Right?
I agree with all this. It is a two way street.

So apparently it was just a coincidence that they stripped him of his badge right at the same time he’s speaking up for unions. That’s plausible, sure.

Sure, both parties can take the other to court if the terms of the lease are not met. But how realistic is court? Is it a prompt resolution? Do both parties have the resources to take legal action?
Are there other nuances to consider, like regardless of the court verdict you’re probably gonna piss off the person you otherwise have to rely on for a roof over your head?
If a tenant craps out on rent, the landlord can call and have the cops kick them out. Can a tenant call the cops if the landlord is crapping out on water bills or a broken furnace? And even if they could, again, what are the unintended consequences for a tenant?
And, the ultimate recourse - if a landlord is fed up, they can kick you out. If a tenant is fed up, they can kick themselves out. That’s quite the imbalance, no?
I mean, you’d have to be awful pissed at a landlord to voluntarily accept homelessness. And that’s what it is, too.
It’s not exactly as simple as just another market choice where you can go down the street and get a Wendy’s burger if you don’t feel like a McDonald’s burger. Or rather, that Wendy’s burger doesn’t also require you to literally uproot your entire life.
That’s much of what landlording is - it’s taking the threat of homelessness and spinning into your own little for-profit ticket scalping hustle.

Twitter is notoriously left leaning anyway.
I dunno, I hear people on podcasts, and shit talk about it all the time. I think it's common to have the blue checks come and go, and sometimes they go to unfamous people and not to famous people and so on.ousdahl wrote: ↑Fri Aug 20, 2021 1:59 pmYeah, the whole thing is peculiar.PhDhawk wrote: ↑Fri Aug 20, 2021 1:54 pmWhy would twitter care if he's speaking up for unions?ousdahl wrote: ↑Fri Aug 20, 2021 1:29 pm And back to Frank Reynolds and Twitter - ok, the official response is he lost his verified badge cuz his account info was incomplete - you know, no phone or email on file, somehow

Perhaps the question is, how frequently does Twitter strip badges, and what’s the typical process.
If, say, they had been bugging Frank with repeated requests to update his phone and email, and Frank had neglected cuz he was too busy bangin hoorz, then that def adds context.

I've moved 9 times in the past 16 years.
And yes, it's not like choosing a burger joint, so you should do your due dilligence when apartment hunting, read reviews, talk to people, get referrals, be thorough when you tour a place, etc.
Between 2001 and 2015 i moved 13 times...and 2 more since 15. Yea it sucks, its life. You do what needs to be done. Or you do nothing and complain about it here....
