[07:55] DaemonFC Especially since the Democrats have failed to do anything but talk about rent control for the past 6 years and then kill it every time the landllord associations bribed them enough. [07:55] DaemonFC The proposal for rent control was horrid anyway. [07:56] DaemonFC The closest one to becoming a law was one where there would be seven rent control boards, with several commissioners each, and six figure salaries, pensions, and government healthcare.

[08:01] DaemonFC LPR in the US doesn't work like it does in a lot of places. [08:01] DaemonFC If you leave for more than 12 months, they don't have to let you back in. The officer can say that you've abandoned your residence in the US, and that's that, no more green card. [08:01] DaemonFC US citizens can come and go as we please. [08:01] DaemonFC The only limit on how long we can be in the other country is whatever that country's laws are. [08:03] DaemonFC Basically, when you're dealing with US Immigration Law, whenever it says "if you do a thing and it will be up to the discretion of the CBP officer as to whether to let you back in", it means DON'T DO IT.

Ultimately, its very high leverage, Tomasz Piskorski, a finance professor at Columbia Business School, tells me. A typical bank in the US and theres actually not much variation, whether its big, whether its small is about 90% debt-funded. [18:11] DaemonFC > In other words, if youre a bank with $100 million of assets, $90 million of that is debt and $10 million is equity. That means even a relatively modest decline in the value of your assets can technically push you into insolvency, especially if depositors decide to yank their money out, Piskorski explains. [18:12] DaemonFC Yes, well, there's a reason. You have to spend money to make money so banks are obviously not just going to be able to offer free accounts that pay interest without making it up somewhere. [18:12] DaemonFC There's a difference between making an investment and squandering cash into a neverending money pit like the landlord did.

[18:15] DaemonFC Investing into a 50 year old building with rotten fixtures, bad pipes, and terribly plumbing, and an aging "newer" roof. [18:15] DaemonFC In a stagnant neighborhood where people are living off of minimum wage jobs and Social Security. [18:16] DaemonFC The problem with trying to take on a "clientele" like this in a neighborhood that's hopeless with a building that's not worth renovating is, you never make money. [18:16] DaemonFC If you raise rent even a little, you push people over the edge, they stop paying, and it can take a year of them living there to get them out. [18:16] DaemonFC And then the neighborhood still sucks so good luck getting anything better. [18:17] DaemonFC Meanwhile, things that you have to fix just to stay up to code and avoid the city inspector continue aging and falling apart. [18:18] DaemonFC It's expensive to fix them. It's even more expensive not to. [18:18] DaemonFC It's a lose-lose deal. [18:18] DaemonFC The last landlord kept his building to code at least. [18:18] DaemonFC He did that and not one inch more.

[22:07] DaemonFC And it collects your Social Security Number so that the IRS knows who was paid. [22:08] DaemonFC If the payer does not issue 1099s, they get fined. The fine increases every month they are late. It starts out at $50 per form that should have been filed, but eventually 6 months later that caps at $300 but the IRS can also decide that they were negligent in not filing it and also assess another $500 per form that should have been filed as a negligence penalty.

If that procedure were repealed, the UN would not be able to grant a right to apply for refugee or asylum status in the United States. It would simply be gone. [23:30] DaemonFC We probably won't ever repeal it, but we do reserve the right to modify or interpret it however we see fit. [23:30] DaemonFC The US courts have generally deferred to the judgment of US Citizenship and Immigration Services to implement its own regulations as it sees fit. [23:31] DaemonFC Therefore, USCIS itself is generally the last word on what regulations it has or what they mean, within the confines of "they can't oppose what the statute itself says". [23:31] DaemonFC But they have a lot of leeway. [23:31] DaemonFC As we saw under Trump, things can change dramatically in a matter of months. [23:32] DaemonFC He introduced a new USCIS form called the I-944. It does not exist now because the agency reversed itself under Biden. [23:34] DaemonFC The I-944 was a form where the burden of proof was on the applicant and the sponsoring family member to prove beyond a reasonable doubt ("99%") that they would never primarily depend on a list of welfare programs, which also was expanded from three types of programs (cash-like assistance, likely to be institutionalized, or depend on government-funded long term care) if admitted to the United States in the foreseeable future to a standard of even trying [23:34] DaemonFC to get food stamps, Medicaid, or all kinds of things really. [23:35] DaemonFC So the standard went from "The immigrant is presumed not to become a public charge as defined by the three categories in the Legacy INS field guidance unless the Immigration officer can prove otherwise." to "The immigrant must file an I-944 and prove 99% likelihood of never needing most forms of government assistance." [23:35] *eidolon has quit (Quit: ) [23:35] DaemonFC And the point was that most immigrants can't do that because they're not wealthy. [23:35] DaemonFC And even if they can, it adds another roadblock because they have to pay their representative another $2000-3000 to file that form. [23:36] DaemonFC But the form didn't exist for like 17 days after we filed. [23:36] DaemonFC So we were decided under the Legacy INS Field Guidance. [23:37] DaemonFC Then it was suspended for a while by various processes. And then it went into effect, but not in Illinois, and then in Illinois as well, and then it was in effect everywhere for about 9 months until Biden suspended and repealed the regulation again. [23:37] DaemonFC But Trump could bring it back. He would. [23:38] DaemonFC And it would affect anyone who applied for an I-485 Adjustment of Status, an I-130 Petition for Relative, and form I-864 Affidavit of Support. Also, it could apply to asylum and refugee. [23:38] DaemonFC One thing Trump was going to do was raise the filing fee for an asulum visa to $500 USD. [23:38] DaemonFC It's currently $50. [23:38] DaemonFC *asylum [23:39] DaemonFC So basically, people crawling over razor wire aren't going to have $500 to file a form, so problem solved.
