If you rent for 20 month, and pay one month as fee, you save 5%.

How much over construction costs do landlords rent out their property?

If rent can go down much more than 5% I wouldn't focus energy on it but on other means to reduce rent.

Landlords can increase as long as renters are able to pay more. If you remove the broker fees then there is room for higher rents.

Controversial: how can illegal immigrants send money home but regular workers live paycheck to paycheck?

Rent would be cheaper if renters would unionize and wouldn't spend above an agreed on limit.

It's so hard to coordinate that only some workers can ask billionaires for better deals. Why? Why is not everybody ashamed that they cannot coordinate with their neighbors?

Roman's walked out of town once a year to remind the elite of their value. The west models itself after the Roman Republic but tries to skip on the hard parts.

Where is the lemmy for jobs? There is no need to create an account for every company if they all use activitypub.

Dictator is the better word because it implies a choice by the people. It's the reason why Octavian is the first Roman emperor but every ruler wants to be a Caesar.

In a way, calling Xi a dictator recognizes his legitimization. I am sure that was not intended.

I cannot upvote your comments with insults but thank you (both) for this thread, especially for adding links and the meta layer that comes with the emotions.

How difficult is it to not only have a NSFW label but also a politics label which could be used for an all time line without politics?

For starters you can visit a lemmy of another country and read the local time-line.

It's older than the Greeks. The astrologers in Mesopotamia already collected historic events as a source for predictions

The Greeks mostly copied that. If they created it, they wouldn't have used this 'goat' as the first constellation of the year that started with the spring equinox.

Because there is no fear that the other side will have it.

Of course it's not absolutely inevitable. But chatgpt 4 is like the first dropped atomic bomb. It has changed AI from a theoretical concept to something that needs to be dealt with.

There is a drone war slowly heating up right now. There is no option to not create AI. 10 years is generous.
