Maybe that's the skilled employees. My guy says that the people managing the shipping aren't really treated that well. Better than the hourly drones, but not great.


I've heard it's a sweatshop as well, but that's the shipping people as well.

That's because the web services guys and girl make them the money to buy superyachts.

MANY states not allocating the renter relief money they were given during the pandemic is a bad thing as well.

supervillain.

the press didn't think so when koch didn't back trump. koch and his foundation are also 'immigration' heroes because they back illegals gaining amnesty, along with lax illegal immigration enforcement - the number one reason koch didn't back trump in 2020.

one day a hero, the next day a villain. easy come, easy go.

Ok.

Quote:
Billionaire Charles Koch’s foundation has bankrolled three conservative legal groups leading the court battle to eliminate prohibitions against tenant evictions during the COVID-19 outbreak. At the same time, Koch’s corporate empire has suddenly stepped up its real estate purchases during the pandemic — including making large investments in real estate companies with a potential financial interest in eliminating eviction restrictions.


Weird. The way that paragraph is structured makes it look like his desire to eliminate eviction prohibitions is somehow connected to his huge real estate purchases.

Did you read the tweet?

The MSM press still isn’t covering him.

The guy and his dead and rotting brother have always been super villains.

i'm conflicted. he's a hero because he backs amnesty for illegals or he's a supervillain because he wants non rent payers evicted?

you say he's a supervillain.

he's an easy target for the media, but he's for illegal immigration.

the media has decided to bury bill gates, instead.

MANY would say burying all billionaires isn’t a bad thing.

I am 100% certain that his desire to get rid of it is because of his real estate purchases. He just isn't wrong that the eviction ban can't last forever. People who rent from others need to pay for it, or the government needs to pay landlords for the free housing that people are getting.

i understand, but some say all they are doing is following the tax laws - that they actually ghostwrite.

my guess is that the kochs don't live with or near illegals, don't compete with illegals for work, don't interact with them socially or professionally and their off-spring have no dealings with them.

so, why passionately defend these law-breakers when all the law-breakers have to do is stand in line to become legit citizens? i have friends and acquaintances from poland, ghana, nigeria, korea, the phillipines and vietnam and they had to stand in line. their fault is that they were born on different continents and hemispheres.

Very insightful. I am having difficulty trying to determine whether or not water is wet. Do you think you could help me out?

PA is sitting on like $9 or 3B or something still not spent. Figuring out how to divide it up. Heard a lot about school funding equality. How that is COVID I am not sure.

It’s because MANY businesses/farms that they are tied to directly or indirectly use illegal immigration.

I can personally attest to oilfield services companies in TX using illegal labor who can provide the proper forms to get hired.

Then the company can keep the wages low.

I’ve seen it in ND as well.

Also, I’m not a fan of illegal immigration.

In regards to the eviction ban?

The Koch's are clearly looking out for their own self interest as they have properties that make money based on collecting rent but they are also right that the eviction ban at worst is well past the time in which it was a justifiable thing to have.
