As tenants face increasingly high rents, publicly traded corporate landlords are reporting some of their highest margins ever. For smaller landlords, the situation can look very different. https://t.co/iLNvpR4UB6— The New York Times (@nytimes) September 27, 2022

TBF (although I don't know that this really matters), it sounds like that guy's company manages rather than owns those apartments, i.e. is the property management company? Or am I misunderstanding?
― longtime caller, first time listener (man alive), Friday, 7 October 2022 18:45 (one year ago) link
6000 just seems like a less shockingly large number for a management company to manage than for a "small" owner to own.
What's shocking is including a 6000 unit landlord (whether he's a middleman or outright owner of the properties) in your sob story about the struggles of "smaller operators."

So dealers cut their upper with a downer to "be more potent"? This sounds like my friends debating whether some batch of x was "heroin based" or not circa 2000, but they worked at TGI Friday's and not the WSJ.

When Dr. Amy Guralnick, a pulmonologist, took her 3-year-old to Israel from Chicago in business-class seats, the woman next to her immediately switched her seat to coach to avoid being around the baby. The man who claimed the abandoned business-class seat was loud and obnoxious and spilled his drink on the baby, who slept throughout the entire 12-hour flight, Dr. Guralnick said.

it's cool to not agree with that point! i have good friends who have created babies and i get that there's a biological compulsion that i somehow don't have hardcoded so it's a little like suggesting "just eat less." even so, can't help but feel that intentionally making an additional human right now as a planned investment in the future is a level of general optimism and self-abnegation that's beyond me.

This is why I feel OK with eating meat and owning a car and probably not recycling as much as I could — I've already done my part for the environment by not having any kids.

complaining about people having kids because they might bring them on a plane is of course the quiddiest of agonies and ignores the fact that the state or church might well have forced them to conceive!

I probably spilled a few drinks on the kids when they were little, but nothing compared to the various fluids they spilled on me.
Also the first class argument is hilarious. If I could've afforded first class when I flew with the kids as babies I absolutely would have. Coach seats are cramped enough without having a kid on your lap. (Also my kids never cried on planes, but maybe I was just lucky.)

I don't want kids. I think the world is too fucked up, I wouldn't want to raise someone to live through the future that's coming.
On the other hand, I fucking love to see adults get annoyed at kids. Kids are gonna be kids and if you're in a lot of public spaces you're going to run into them from time to time. It's funny to think of the entitlement that some folks have; the idea that buying a first class ticket should mean you've purchased a baby-free zone is laughable.
