It's required by law in California and several states to be a security guard. Usually it's paid for by the company hiring you

Every OP response I've read is that they won't have time. I've worked these minimum wage jobs you think you'll need 3 of.... you'll have time.

If you want ALOT of time, spend 2 hours and get your guard card and be a security guard. Pay is alright, and you'll have time to apply for jobs, etc, at work and can probably take a couple of classes and study on the job too.

What you lack is something only time will give you, which is job experience. There are a lot of hiring managers who won't hire anyone for a role in a team if you've never had another job. Being someone's first boss can suck (I managed a grocery store for years and was lots of peoples first boss) they don't know all the most basic stuff about how to get paid or communicate time off/sick requests, and usually new workers want the business to bend over backwards for their ever changing schedules.

The minimum wage job may not seem like progress towards your goal, but really, it is. Show that you know how to work and have some time in the workforce, and that holds value to the resume readers, even the automated ones.

That's not how plates are obtained. It has nothing to do with it. When buying a car from a dealership new, they submit all the paperwork, and your plates are sent to you within a month. If it's used, it should already have a plate, but you can still get one from the DMV through online services in almost every state.

Not having a plate is usually someone avoiding tolls or red light cameras or some other petty crime thing. And to play devils advocate, I suppose it could have been stolen, too.

Also, forcing them to leave their guns* "outside", which in this case would be in the car, wouldn't just mean some criminal could break into the car and steal their weaponry?

They carry more weapons than the ones on their person anyway. If their vehicle isn't secure enough for their sidearm while they are on break then they aren't secure enough for the rest of their arsenal.

And they're paying the bank, income tax, and property taxes. It's not just free money. Slumlords exist, but the post doesn't stop at slumlords and references landlords in general, which opens it up to fair criticism from much more of the populace that may just own 2-3 houses. Unless you've owned and maintained the house for over a decade, you wouldn't profit from renting it it many areas. It's mostly just paying bills while you hope the value goes up.

We criticize, but I don't think public transit evolves in a vacuum. People obviously wanted systems like Uber and Lyft, looking at their popularity and mass adoption. I don't think we can rely on public institutions to finance the risk to see if a market exists for every improvement though.

We can't forget people we never knew...

Besides, this begging for America to play World Police for them again isn't sustainable. Fight your own fights.

This is too custom for most people. They've been trying to sell this house for 6 years and have been dropping the price every couple of years. The original ask in 2016 was 3.5 million. The median home price in that general area is 350k....

I hope we find out.... I could barely afford this used screwdriver. I don't think I could afford a whole new wardrobe in this economy.
