If you have multiple properties you hire someone to do that work. 'Landlords' include property companies that own hundreds of units, which is the majority of ownership in the US. Do you think the owners of these companies are doing maintenance and dealing with tenants? The executives are in effect the landlords, and all the work they do is figure out how to make more money off of their company's investments, aka figure out how to better extract income from tenants.

You rent from a responsible company it sounds like. In my part of the country, there are a few massive companies that own a large amount of property and do fuck-all, have no online portal for anything, take weeks to deal with things like leaking pipes and such. I'm newish to the state so I'm not sure how they get it away with it legally but I've heard a lot of horror stories from these companies. I rent a place now from some rich dude for a very reasonable price, he owns a handful of properties and they do well on the maintenance and everything, it definitely depends.

You have to have money to save money. How does a person save money if every dollar earned is spent on necessities?

Maybe branch out to another instance, I got here through lemmy.dbzer0.com, instances other than lemmy.world seem to be much more tolerable if you are tired of those sorts of comments.

"Landlords are rich leeches" is still true because the vast majority of property in the US is not owned by hard working people who are investing their earnings owning a handful of properties at most, but by property companies and hedge funds.

That is so kind! If it weren't for the comradery I swear the employees would just walk out of so many places at a moment's notice. Many people I've known at different jobs seem to be motivated only because they know it would be worse for their coworkers if they did less or quit suddenly.

What is a lie? In this business world as business people, it is our duty to ensure our brand is seen as peerless!

I hate deception but you're right, it is pretty much necessary to make it these days unless you are really fortunate. The annoying part is making yourself look good enough to get the position, but keeping expectations low enough to impress them with your work and not get saddled with extra.

From Genius:

"Guns N' Roses introduces itself with a hard-hitting ode to a wild place that can tear anyone apart. No wonder it’s their usual setlist opener (except in the Chinese Democracy tour, where the eponymous song did the honors) and a mainstay of many sports events.

According to an interview published by Hit Parader in March 1988:

Axl wrote the words while visiting his long-time friend Tori in Kingston, Washington, a town outside of Seattle. It’s a big city, but at the same time, it’s still a small city compared to Los Angeles and the things that you’re gonna learn. It seemed a lot more rural up there. Axl just wrote how it looked to him. If someone comes to town and they want to find something, they can find whatever they want.

There has been said that Axl and a friend heard the exact same phrase that is used in the song from the lips of a homeless man, as soon as they climbed down from a bus, just after arriving in New York:

You know where you are?
You’re in the jungle, babe
You’re gonna die!"

Basically he is deriding the commodification of human activity and warning against the dehumanization and alienation that is caused by the habits of consumerism driven by capitalism.

Neat, that sounds odd at first but thinking about it mixed with clouds it makes perfect sense. I'd like to see it in action, the video at the link is unavailable. I didn't find any video of it but there is more info and an image here of one parked if anyone is interested

"She's worked with unions so she'll be that much more effective as dissipating their efforts!!"

It's funny when supporters of the attack try to say that they were unfairly brutalized by police, like we didn't watch endless clips or witness directly people pummeled by the police for weeks for substantially less.
