There is tons of easily available data on how many people in rural areas - especially those burdened by costs - are renters.

The rent is too damn high.

The GAP The U.S. has a shortage of more than 7.1 million rental homes affordable and available to extremely low-income renter households. Find out more. #TheGap25

Rental affordability is a nationwide problem!! I love the NLIHC's Gap study for Guys Like This. The data don't lie and, as you note, the number of first-time homebuyers is plummeting esp with interest rates where they are lmao.

Ghislaine Maxwell's prison emails show she is 'happier' at minimum-security Texas facility Maxwell, a convicted sex offender connected to Jeffrey Epstein, was moved to a less restrictive federal prison this summer. Congress is investigating allegations of special treatment.

trump may be snatching innocent brown people off the street and traumatizing kids and communities but at least he’s making a notorious sex trafficker β€œhappier” and β€œmore comfortable”

For a while the sound quality in the recording was so bad it could barely be understood. Or maybe staff just shuts it off on weekends

It probably happens when the vm fills up - it happens about half the time.

But there are always new LEs and the legacy brands have multiple new LEs each quarter. Short attention spans by consumers

I think the same, but look at Tin Cup - do you ever see it on-premise? Somebody's buying it - i wish I knew the secret sauce

It's interesting- was discussing the whiskey brands which were specifically marketed to the off-premise primarily. I think BR
was one along with New Riff. Maybe Laws also? I think for them, whiskey ig is important to drive depletions.

Your so right about the loss harvesting though, especially with being able to blame it on the last CEO. But given the plummeting in the special release market, it must be moving many fewer units. Maybe it never made a play in the on-premise.

It was very tater-friendly - loads of limited special releases each with a bespoke butterfly.

Wow - it's interesting to hear all these knowledgeable folks not having heard of it. Was well represented on whiskey ig

Are they just throwing in the towel on it? Sounds like the distillery plan is shelved, which makes sense, but but I didn't understand this at all

A comic called halloween costume ideas for birders. In panel 1, labeled easy, there's a person labeled northern cardinal wearing a party hat, a beak, and red clothes, and a person labeled roseate spoonbill wearing pink clothes and a wooden spoon on their nose. In panel 2, labeled harder, there's a person labeled merlin sound ID wearing a big green circle with a microphone modeled after the button on the merlin sound ID app, and a person labeled hybrid green x blue jay wearing a complex costume with a mask and robe and hat modeled after a recently discovered hybrid bird. In panel 3, labeled challenging, there's a person labeled baltimore oriole nest wearing an enormous accurate woven oriole nest suspended from their arms and shoulders, and a person labeled african jacana carrying chicks with a hideous costume of long-toed bird feet hanging from their armpits. In panel 4, labeled hot, there's a person labeled high quality spotting scope who is shirtless and is wearing a spotting scope mask on their head, and a person labeled sexy owl pellet wearing an owl pellet top and bottom with a mouse skull on their head.
