IsambardPrinceI told my boyfriend that 3.3x the rent is the "new normal" because the landlords are running "worst case tenant" problems. Like, "Who is it that's going to hit the cigarette store, the weed store, and the liquor store and buy lotto scratchers and then goes oh crap I can't pay?"Jul 18 06:15
IsambardPrinceYou know plenty of those people are out there.Jul 18 06:16

IsambardPrinceSo could a person technically pay their rent with 2x the net income? Sure, if they sacrifice, if they budget, if they iron out everything, if they go apply for food stamps, and they don't put discretionary purchases before the rent.Jul 18 06:16
techrights-news"So you have what the specification(s) say, various interpretations of the specification(s) that may be variously buggy or correct depending on how various beings interpret (or explicitly reject various portions of) the specification(s)." gemini://thrig.me/blog/2026/07/18/valid-ip-address.gmiJul 18 06:16
IsambardPrinceBut the landlord is not assuming this.Jul 18 06:16
techrights-news"We were promised liberation from exhausting labor, access to all human knowledge, greater democracy, and a world connected beyond borders.

IsambardPrinceI had this guy I was messing around with 20 years ago, the first thing he did when he got paid was go get two cartons of Marlboro cigarettes. He started out the month with cigarettes being the first thing on the list. Not shelter, not food, cigarettes.Jul 18 06:19

techrights-news"Iโ€™m standing at the kitchen counter. Iโ€™m chopping vegetables with a Japanese knife. Iโ€™m smiling to myself." gemini://rawtext.club/~deerbard/glog/2026-07-17-year-later.gmiJul 18 06:20
IsambardPrinceThe only reason we survived it was because rent was cheap back then because of the 2000s Housing Scam where anyone with a pulse could go get a mortgage and only pay interest on it for years and years.Jul 18 06:20
techrights-news"Nothing much of interest as of yet. I am testing out a new CGI gemlog generator I'm working on. It uses SQLite for storage and a few shell scripts for creating posts. I hope that this will be easier to use and still be mobile friendly via termux." gemini://gemini.sh0.xyz/cgi-bin/gemlog.py/post/testing-out-a-new-gemlog-systemJul 18 06:21
techrights-news"I hate to hate on big projects that must have employed hundreds of talented people. Thereโ€™s nothing at all wrong with the CGI, the sets, the cinematography, or any of the technical elements of how the film is constructed." gemini://lab6.com/mlog/2026/07/17/wicked/Jul 18 06:21
IsambardPrinceWhen anyone with a pulse got an interest-only mortgage, that indirectly subsidized renters.Jul 18 06:22
IsambardPrinceRental inventory was going unfilled which set an effective cap on what landlords could chargeJul 18 06:22
IsambardPrinceThen the George W. Bush Mortgage Scam Era ended dramatically and rents have been increasing ever since.Jul 18 06:22
IsambardPrinceNot rapidly at first.Jul 18 06:22
*admfubar has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)Jul 18 06:22
IsambardPrinceInterest rates had to come down to zero because of the Recession.Jul 18 06:23
IsambardPrinceSo the people who still qualified for a mortgage were getting super cheap rates, and that was a subsidy that also kept a lid on rent.Jul 18 06:23
IsambardPrinceBut then the near-zero rates for a decade caused the economy to start puking up inflation.Jul 18 06:23
schestowitz[TR2]mortgage bubbleJul 18 06:24
schestowitz[TR2]remember subprime?Jul 18 06:24
IsambardPrinceSo rates on mortgages surged at the same time homeowners who wanted to sell their house at inflated prices had to sit there and watch them not sell, and then delist them.Jul 18 06:24
IsambardPrinceSo now rent goes up very fast.Jul 18 06:24
IsambardPrinceYes, subprime mortgages still exist.Jul 18 06:24
IsambardPrinceBut they have to screen you to see if you're at least making so much money at the time you apply.Jul 18 06:25
IsambardPrinceAnd they give you a really shitty interest rate.Jul 18 06:25
IsambardPrincePeople who are better off renting in that environment still apply for mortgages, even with FICO scores in the 500s and 600s.Jul 18 06:25
*admfubar (~admfubar@ae6yc8gqwe7jq.irc) has joined #techrightsJul 18 06:25
IsambardPrinceEven though it would be better if they worked on their credit for a while and applied then.Jul 18 06:25
IsambardPrinceWhen a "good rate" is 6.5-7%, and you go in there going "I have a 580 FICO score." you are getting 8-9%, for 30 years, unless you can find a refinance offer and pay fees to the company you're refinancing with.Jul 18 06:26

IsambardPrinceschestowitz[TR2]: I passed the Sam's Club leadership assessment.Jul 18 18:36
IsambardPrinceBut failed one at Walmart.Jul 18 18:36
IsambardPrinceSame company.Jul 18 18:36
IsambardPrinceAnyway, I go back so far that there was no "test". They just decided hey let's put them in the Support Manager job and see how he handles some responsibility with training wheels.Jul 18 18:37
IsambardPrinceThe Support Manager role was still hourly, but technically a supervisor.Jul 18 18:37
IsambardPrinceIt was never meant to be an ongoing job code. It was to evaluate how you handle things while an Assistant Manager was steering you along.Jul 18 18:37
IsambardPrinceAnd maybe the reason they got rid of it and replaced it with a test was because they were getting unreliable people too high up the food chain.Jul 18 18:38
IsambardPrinceWe had C-Suite executives that were taking bribes from vendors.Jul 18 18:38
IsambardPrinceLike Tom Coughlin and the cash and a race horse he took from Pepsi.Jul 18 18:38
IsambardPrinceWe had assistant managers at my store who were sleeping around with subordinates and taking three hour lunches where they'd go out to the car and sleep.Jul 18 18:39
IsambardPrinceHaving a basic psych test can screen out some of this.Jul 18 18:39
IsambardPrinceThe weird thing is that I don't think the psych test screened me out decisively, I think it's more like Sam's Club might want a different management culture than Walmart.Jul 18 18:40
IsambardPrinceBecause the same answers that can fail at Walmart will pass at Sam's.Jul 18 18:40

IsambardPrinceWalmart started going into damage control mode right after the Tom Coughlin Scandal. They have a Walmart Ethics Hotline, it happened after the FBI arrested Coughlin.Jul 18 18:46
IsambardPrinceThey want people to anonymously clue them in to integrity violations before they reach that level.Jul 18 18:47

IsambardPrinceIf I had been less conspiratorial in my 20s I would have called the Ethics Hotline about the manager who was sleeping with subordinates and taking three hour naps in the parking lot. He was just wretched and he was my problem too because while he was doing that, I ended up getting coached by him for telling an edgy joke. And so I learned the hard way that turning a blind eye to corruption isn't going to help you.Jul 18 18:49
IsambardPrinceWe had two AMs on night shift, and one was that guy and there was another one that I actually respected.Jul 18 18:51
IsambardPrinceThe one I respected would actually jump in and help if a department was short staffed or messy. Even if he just took 20 or 30 minutes to stand there and stock shelves or something, it sent a message.Jul 18 18:52
