@Unionhawk RULES DISCOVERY: apparently on a cloture an absent is effectively a no (I guess the rules probably say something like "colture requires 60 members of the Senate to vote in the affirmative", rather than "3/5 of votes")

Loeffler sold shares in retail and bought PPE shares

lol

Not sure if the New Zealand Herald is considered a good news source, but nzherald.co.nz/world/news/… some news from Belgium that got worldwide publicity

@Nzall I commend her bravery and selflessness.

WTAF?

Apparently HOAs are foreclosing on people because COVID-19 forces them to WFH

That's a pretty loose reading of that clause, and is definitely not being used for its intended purpose, which is preventing someone from running a business out of their home. Moreover, HOA can't (or at least shouldn't be able to) police what takes place inside your home unless it's disruptive to neighbours.

@Nzall If this is true, they should sue the HOA into the fucking ground

@Wipqozn Well, before that, file for an injunction.

@MBraedley nah, fuck'em

If the HOA did this they're complete fucking garbage and deserve to be punished

that's also not generally what a commercial activities clause means

@Wipqozn But without the injunction you still loose your home before the suit can be resolved (probably through settlement).

it's more focused on you running a business and having customers coming into the neighborhood and stuff

I can't find this on legal advice, so I'm assuming it's fake.

Also maybe get a restraining order because I dunno what kind of "observing" is going on to determine someone is working from home but it seems pretty creepy

yeah it's locked: reddit.com/r/legaladvice/comments/frzjxm/…

So I'm pretty confident this is fake

Like I have no problem believing people are this shitty in the world, but I think this one is fake.,

Eh, I've seen similar from landlords, but that's a different dynamic

There's a note from the mods saying the OP provided sufficient proof that it was real for them to not delete it

@TimStone I misread that haha

he was just trying to raise rent mid-lease not rally votes against himself as hoa president

> Modnote: We checked with OP for proof, and he's shown us satisfactory enough evidence that they're telling the truth. Please do not report post.

@Nzall yeah, @TimStone just said that

JEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZ NZALL I'M SORRY I MISREAD IT GAAAAWWWWDDDDD

(note: that's sarcasm. I know you have trouble detecting that(

@Wipqozn sorry, missed that Tim had already confirmed it

I mean every story on reddit is fake

to be fair

@Unionhawk Is that a meme, or do you have proof for that?

@Unionhawk tbh as soon as I saw "it's on reddit legaladvice" I thought "It's probably fake"

even and especially the real ones

@Nzall I mean it's a meme, but the amount of BS stuff that pops up on advice subs iis high.

@Wipqozn And how about AskReddit?

@Nzall I don't know, I don't keep logs of this stuff. Just that a lot of fake stuff is posted to reddit advice subs. Folks love to be trolling.

> White House official tells @NBCNews that President Trump will not reopen the Obamacare exchanges to allow uninsured Americans to purchase health care coverage during the coronavirus pandemic.

something something choice to have insurance something something

@TimStone I'm honestly surprised. He always finds a new low to sink to.

@TimStone Look, here's the deal, that's not something that a single payer system can fix though

/joe-voice

lmao

some LA landlord apparently sent everyone an email saying "hey rent is still due, the moratorium only delays eviction"

they uh, didn't use the bcc line though

every tenant, across MULTIPLE BUILDINGS, is now in contact

aka the hard part is already done at this point lol

@Unionhawk I seriously hope they unionize and stirke or something. Awesome.

one building organizing is a lot, but reasonably doable

EVERY building?

well I guess it depends, one of the big landlords here has like, 800 buildings I think

all in slightly different corporations which seems odd

also it's just 100 buildings

but still that's a lot

@Unionhawk taps head you don't have the federal minimum number employees for certain requirements if you actually just have fifty different companies

I mean idk it's just different ownership companies

It's definitely nonsense, but I think it might be property tax nonsense

I doubt they have that many people on staff

Guess that depends on the size of the buildings? But that would be likely too

And there's probably a holding company as well

Turns out one of the tenants is just goats so it qualifies as a farm

There's just several anomalies on the auditor's website

like, last sale price $0?

come on

grabbed a random listing oh interesting well it looks like 1 of the companies leases to commercial tenants in particular so I guess that one checks out

I wonder if we can easily segment this by land use code

filter out anything other than like, 401 apartment 9-19 units, 402 apartment 20-39 units, etc

that way we know that hey this one is 500 - vacant residential land, don't really need to track it

> Florida Governor Ron Desantis just announced that he will be signing a statewide stay-at-home executive order that will mirror what Miami-Dade has done. Goes into effect Thursday night.

lol did he finally get permission from Trump?

What a sucker

From the UN:

> And when we get past this crisis, we will face a choice – go back to the world we knew before or deal decisively with those issues that make us all unnecessarily vulnerable to this and future crises. Everything we do during and after this crisis must be with a strong focus on building more equal and inclusive societies that are more resilient in the face of pandemics, climate change, and the many other challenges we face.

Bored at home because of the continuing pandemic? Why not War on Drugs II?

Wait Elon's big move to procure ventilators was to buy CPAP machines, a thing that's definitely not a ventilator? Amazing

Urgh wtf? CloudFlare got their DoH service audited and it was good then turned around and launched a "family DNS" that filters some sites and you already know where this is going, sigh

@TimStone Fuck Cloudflare

White nationalist sites are and what not are A-OKAY though. Wow.

oof

> Pence dodges a question from Fox on how Americans can get insurance during the coronavirus pandemic. After Pence finishes, Trump adds: "I think it's one of the greatest answers I've ever heard, because Mike was able to speak for five minutes and not even touch your question."

RIP Adam Schlesinger

@Jolenealaska totally agree. last week i think Trump was saying that the US Economy wasn't mean to be shut down, maybe after this various economies might want to look into being able to do it. along with better WFH Solutions and procedures for lock downs

@Wipqozn i think said parents don't believe their children need support beyond being taught the "proper" way of life because they are generally also against the idea of even awareness of LGBT+
