Real life Holden Caulfield

The markets probably do make sense, there are just so many constantly changing input variables that we just don’t possess the capacity to actually make sense of it.

How would they even monitor and enforce this?

It’ll probably go $100k over asking price

The answer is that it depends. It could be a good faith charge because the landlord wants to background check people before touring the unit to them. This is common for single female landlords for example as a safety precaution.

My guess is that they’re probably using it as a revenue tool though to compensate for their time. Not super ethical IMO but not a scam.

It could also be a scam. It’s not unreasonable to ask for proof of ownership first.

Either way, it’s up to you. Unfortunately there aren’t often many options and landlords know this.

This is just not true. I know half a dozen multi millionaires whose families are / were working class

I don’t understand your point. Doctors and attorneys make their money from wages and are still wealthy. Working class doesn’t mean you’re inherently poor.

“Capitalist class” is a meaningless title in a nation where 95% of political platforms revolve around some form of capitalism. This isn’t a paradox studios game. Just say wealthy people.

Most of the developers I know are hunkering down - the general expectation is a tough year for real estate. I suspect the developer took the chance for an out and is taking the opportunity to spin the narrative

Either way, a loss for Lewiston all around. Empty and derelict housing doesn’t help anyone.

It seems like enough money to enrich the chosen vendors without actually making much progress. Just enough for them to come back and say well now we know how much work is needed to be done — we need $200MM! It’s not unique to Maine unfortunately. There are whole firms funded entirely by the US government and they tend to be grossly inefficient because they spend all their money trying to get the contracts in the first place

I’m excited about any infrastructure funds in Maine but am frankly dubious about how far $19M will actually go

Mixed race is the most common race in Maine that’s not white, according to the map

That’s not how reproduction works lol, gonna take a lot more time than 20 years

If it makes you feel better according to the map you are the majority of the minority

The hazmat spills were American induced and the balloons were errant weather balloons. What exactly are you looking to prove and against whom?

Mixed race. It’s a legitimate term for a person who identifies racially as multiple races. https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/omb/fedreg_race-ethnicity

You’re primed for the social services system - don’t be ashamed to ask for help. Case workers love helping folks down on their luck who genuinely want to pull themselves up. Dial 211 and get the ball rolling.

At which a point you’re stuck with unfounded opinions not worthy of much consideration

I appreciate the point you’re trying to make but “low skilled” is a federally defined professional circumstance and includes on-the-ground hospitality workers.

Well they’re low-wage and hourly which is usually a pretty strong indicator. They work in hospitality which has very few trade certifications or pathways for skilled positions, at least in the theme park context. I think it’s pretty obvious they’re low skilled.
