How does one block this?

His ESL teacher was a Brit and his study abroad changed him. He never got over his subtle bear speaking accent though which is his first language.

Don’t have bed and breakfast money. They are regularly more expensive and have less choices than Airbnb

No. I can see this being unfairly interpreted.

Hotels were a nightmare, cabs were a nightmare. These companies indisputably changed the game in the favour of the consumer all around the world.

Where we are now having an issue is large swaths of housing taken over by companies and investors wanting a return. As long as housing and renting are attractive for investment over and about housing and transitory renting, it will attract lots of money.

Supply must be improved to improve the housing market. This should be a continuous government function at least at the low and middle income level not just a private endeavour.

Density and public transport is the answer - not killing something that absolutely changed the game and took the hotel and cab market back to their customers begging for a chance.

Is this guy dumb? He is killing his best asset for pennies?

Jets are not a winning strategy in Ukraine. Only grinding it out can achieve anything.

Hope the recent aid puts another nail into that strategy.

A defence jet? Jesus that is next level of delusion.

Also cause they are Muslim refugees.

The current government is trying to pass a law that would make it near impossible to get citizenship based on religion (i.e. if you are Muslim, tough luck cause according to Religious zealots being Muslim is less than human)

Just need it for a few sold out politicians. The rest are cool.

That is just cruelty

And what if they miss that deadline… Again?

Right wing conservatives can go pound sand. Talk about the government pushing itself between a doctor and patient care.

A landmark bullshit decision.

Exactly this. Already there is a strategy and accusations of “Bangladeshi immigrants” all over the country. Guess what? How do you prove you are not from there when you are poor as shit, are now allowed to communicate (Police will beat you damn near to death), have no paperwork cause you are poor as shit or had poor illiterate parents?

Sonny, you eat meat, you are Muslim, believe it or not, straight to jail.

Ah yea, the salami strategy.

Thanks! I’ll never own an HP printer! Good advice!

Can I get 95mil please? I’ll spend a month in jail in exchange. Lol. Thanks for the numbers. Inputs the sheer scale of it in size.

I understand what you are saying. The problem is that this typically is made impossible by the regime. The brutality of these systems exist to protect and scare everyone into submission who is under that roof.

The advantage of an external diaspora is to allow dissent and enable funding for the dissent from outside of that suppressive regime.

I don’t think any internal alternatives exist or will be allowed to exist let alone be funded and run under the roof of Putin. The support will have to come from people who have had to run away to create the infrastructure needed for dissent to occur.

God damn. I feel for people trying to escape a war and getting called up against their will.

That is almost 300k people who think, feel, act, have families and create things that are going to get caught up in a meat grinder because of the Russian political elite

Yet no good daycare system mandatory parental leave

Yeah. This one is a no brainer. Apple charges a ridiculous fee for transactions. No merchant should accept it.
