What’s to keep Equity firms from buying those 2 million homes?

Ideally, Madame Guillotine.

Usually, we use both measures.

Equity firms own 1.6 million homes in the US (both single family and multi family units).

Just saying, that would get us most of the way there.

IIRC, Mr. Burns was meant to be a caricature of specifically Rupert Murdoch.

Don’t forget that his “everyone” also included black people, as he illustrated with a segment where he invites his black mailman to share a pool with him and then washes his feet. That really pissed off a lot of “Christians” back in 1969, in post-Civil Rights Act America.

But then, those “Christians” are still the same way today. Just that they can’t be as overt towards black folks anymore (though some certainly still manage to do so), so they find more acceptable targets.

As Bon Jovi said, “It’s all the same, only the names will change.”

He didn’t start it, but he was one of the most prominent boosters of it.

On the plus side, maybe this means they will expand the chain. There’s a closed theater/bar/grill in downtown Wichita that would be absolutely perfect for them.

Both?

Both is good.

There’s a food truck in my town that serves vegan hot dogs, and they are awesome. If Impossible can manage to make theirs half that good, I’ll probably buy them over the real meat ones even though I’m not a vegan.

“He’s fucking ancient, so he probably has dementia.”

“No, he’s actually middle-aged.”

“Ah, well, nevertheless…”

Not disputing what you’re saying about the horrors of the mental health system in this country, but learn to take the L.

Turns out there is a rule.

Maga is a cult of personality. The Republicans’ fear is they won’t turn out for anyone but Trump.

As for the Democrats, the line they always give is that social democrats can’t win elections, but honestly, I think the party elite is afraid of what would happen if they did.

There is. The Twelfth Amendment explicitly says that the Vice President must meet the same eligibility requirements to become President. Which, as it currently stands, means at least 35 years old, a natural born citizen, and resided in the US for the last 14 years.

Naming transit stops after the street they’re on and/or a nearby landmark is a pretty common practice. I don’t know what you’re on about.

I have a bottle of champagne that was a wedding gift.

We uncork it the day Trump goes to jail.

Oh, you missed out so much. Fortunately, the site is still mostly usable, though last time I checked, the games did not work.

Sure, and it’s fine when a meme flops. But this person was apparently being an asshole about the entire concept of memes.

My wife is into things I’m not into. Sometimes she even drops references to those things into conversations that I don’t get. You know what I don’t do? I don’t say, “So, I’m supposed to memorize all these TV shows in order to have a conversation with you?” That’s being a jerk, and completely unnecessary. I just kinda politely smile and nod, and move on.

Perhaps we should hook it to a man, woman, person, camera, or TV.

How many bets this asshole goes on and on about how people are too easily offended and cancel culture is out of control?
