the price went up to capture the section 8 subsidy. landlords have figured out that section 8 vouchers are a stable source of income and in many places the price of the voucher covers the rent bill entirely regardless of how much they're charging. if you have a bunch of regulars paying $800 and 10% of them might stiff you on rent any given year why not replace them with a section 8 voucher that's good for $1500 a year paid directly from the government?

The amount of section 8 abuse going on is something people don't acknowledge enough. I've stumbled upon social media pages outright teaching people (for a fee of course) how to abuse section 8 to rip off the government and your tenants. It looked like they were about to show you how to start a drop shipping empire only to immediately go into how to scam section 8. It was ran by a pajeet unsurprisingly.

Hope I'm not too late, but I've seen these floating around pertaining to the MLK FBI files being declassified:

It doesn't really break the Civil Right mythos IMO. It would have back then as he would have been treated like Bill Cosby now, but now the results go beyond MLK's cult of personality.

If anything broke the mythology, it's George Floyd doing niggardry things.

Main theories are either:
1) Covid was a natural virus, and entered the human population via poorly cooked food eaten at the Hunan Seafood Market(the "wet market").
2) Covid was a natural corona virus undergoing research, to slowly add functionality, and lethality, at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Paid for by the US NIH via grants to the Eco Health Alliance, then covid escaped the lab, or was intentionally released.

Doing any casual Googling, you will find the evidence for #1 is the government of China saying "trust me bro."
OTOH the evidence for #2 is trackable grant paperwork, and the fact the Hunan Seafood Market is around 300 meters from the Wuhan Institute of Virology according to Google maps.

More information is available in the virus megathread where we tracked the virus starting in January of 2018.

There's also some considerable overlap. Worker at the lab ignores protocols, accidently mishandles a virus. Worker then stops by the wet market on their way home from work, touching raw meat and putting it back while they select which fish or bat they are gonna take home to make soup out of, and voila you have the origins of a pandemic on your hands.
Or someone just catches the virus they were working with and takes the bus home, etc. etc.

I just can't buy the "bioweapon" theory because it was just too fucking weak and didn't kill enough people, and those it did kill were essentially useless weight on the population anyways (oh noes! China killed a small percentage of our deathfats & boomers! anyways...).
Even the "test the responses of western governments to a potential pandemic" I don't think makes a lot of sense because it could just as easily "wake up" potential adversaries to future pandemics and cock-block your future bioweapon plans.

I wouldn't even call the Japanese libertine. They view sex as normal but, because of the public-private social divide and high professional expectations, it can lead to a lot of psychological repression and secret-keeping.

Its important to remember who was in charge of the FBI at the time. Just because there is a big ole' SECRET on them, I would take it with a pound of salt. I would not put it past that flaming faggot Hoover to write his homo erotic fantasies into the file of people he disliked.

Historically that's been one of the more convincing arguments against the release of all this stuff. They could easily just perpetuate more of Hoover's evil injustice.

People seem to have forgotten that we've already been through several rounds of declassification on all this stuff over the decades. The JFK material was already supposed to have been released in full, they just kept holding less and less back at each deadline. Whatever they're still holding has been played with so much over the years YMMV on what to actually believe.

What gets me is that people have correctly predicted that Biden was driving up to a recession, only for Wikipedia and the media to gaslight people into thinking it isn't for two whole years. NOW, they're admitting that prices have gone up, but are seething about it like masochists against people who may have struggled during it. I know it's a meme, but these people have a warped sense of reality that their "nice guy" facade slips off like cheap plastic.

I'm really glad they're getting rid of these illegals. The ICE raids local to me turned up tons of dudes with major felonies living in this country freely because of sanctuary city laws. This includes people charged with violent rape who were not deported or even incarcerated for very long (because longer sentencing triggers deportation). Everyone is seeing the truth: thousands of violent felon illegal immigrants are in this country and protected by insane laws.

It's extremely expensive to own a car, park it and drive in Japan. Many places you would want to go simply don't have anywhere to park. You're paying a lot to get a worse mode of transportation.

Add to this - trains are the most cost-efficient way to move goods and people over land. Japan is a little smaller than California, with over three times the population, and covered in mountains. They don't have space for highways and parking like we do in the USA. This is also why New York City couldn't exist without trains.

I was going for a neutral as possible recitation of facts, and main theories. I didn't want to get into a drawn out tangent about global food habits, and how most of the globe goes shopping several times a week, if not daily. Not to mention the fact most humans use what is known in the US as a "mini fridge" as their main refrigerator.

I figured people could connect the proximity, and think: How many times do I go to the store closest to work?
