This is the primary issue the people I know are facing.  There were never any measures put in place to where renters have to prove they actually have a hardship that's causing them not to pay rent.

The people you know need to do a better job of managing their properties. 

Per the CDC guidelines:

• Requires renters to provide their landlord with a signed declaration form to be covered. Renters who previously submitted declaration forms are not required to do so again; and 

• Does not relieve renters from their obligation to pay rent. 

They need to stress to their tenants that the obligation to pay the back rent does not go away and that signing a declaration that they are under a hardship and are unable to pay the rent could be illegal if its not truthful.

The vast majority of those not being able to pay their rent are doing it legitimately and have applied/received assistance. 

We have a neighbor who is constantly posting about how awful masks/mask mandates at wcpss are and how thankful she is that her kids private school isn't requiring them. 

I'm like, sit the **** down Tina. You pay $ to go to a school where they make your kid wear a uniform and the parents have to sign a pledge they won't talk negatively about the school in public. 

You think wcpss is infringing on your rights? Have you looked in the mirror?

I don't think there is any real way to determine that, but I can tell you from experiences with co-workers and neighbors that own rental properties, there was a whole lot of 'f it, I'm not paying you because I don't have to' going on.  Not renters simply being behind because they missed a few payments, but people who just immediately stopped paying anything the moment they figured out they couldn't be evicted.

 

Property Manager here. There are 100% some people doing that but its not a high %. Some of it is area specific though. Here in my area the rental market is ridiculous. Good luck finding anything.  If you come out of the moratorium owing 8-10 months in rent, get evicted and are searching for a new place, you're looking at having to move 30-40miles away.

Ocean City Maryland, about 2006ish?

I moved to Raleigh out of college (2002) to take over a property management company and many of my tenants were NCSU students or grad students.  One of them, Jill, I flirted a bit with on and off but I never really thought anything of it.  

Two of my friends and I went to stay at Ocean City in his mom's studio place for 3 nights.  Jill asked if she and her friend could drive over from DC for a night or two to stay with us (she moved to DC around 2005).  They hung out at the beach for the day and then that night we all went out drinking.  On the way to the first place this girl I was kind of talking to called and Jill grabbed the phone to tell her I was tied up for the weekend and would call her Monday.

That night we spend pretty much the whole time with each other away from our friends, dancing, drinking etc.  I'm pretty sure we kissed on the dance floor at secrets but it's a bit hazy.

So we all go back to the studio and after her and her friend come out of the bathroom she asks me to lay with her on the sofa while she falls asleep.  Her friend tells my friends that they should all go on a walk for an hour or two.

So I lay there with her and fall asleep, completely oblivious that she told her friend to get everyone out of the place.

The next day they cleared out pretty early and my friends were laughing at me for totally missing the signs.

Jill went on to be a political corresponded for Fox News. lol

I'll go if @TryTheBeal!and Jamison go.

Scherff may be a genius. If he got paid tackle money for two years then took less or around his actual market value once the cap goes up he did it right lol. 
 

still think he’s gone because it’s too much and he’s older and we have others to pay. But still. Not out of the realm of possibilities. 

It's the best strategy for C and G's drafted in round 1.

Years 1-4 are fixed.

Year 5 is the option which is fixed.

Years 6 and 7 are top tackle money.

Then in year 8 you sign top guard money.

I can’t beat @daveakl idea, that’s just amazing.  I demand the Olympic committee step down and turn over control to him, at once!  But I wouldn’t be opposed to archery targets at various distances, a shot clock, and maybe some shots that need arch down into their targets?

I have all sorts of great ideas for the Olympics!

All the events that involve water? Add sharks!

Gymnastics floor routine? They all go at the same time!

The rings? Light them on fire!

Also, archery is boring as hell.  I feel like it shouldn’t be, but it’s like watching someone play darts while sober.  

What if you had people running around in those suits that they train attack dogs with and you had different points for where you hit them.  There could be bonus points based off the distance they were at.  Who isn't watching that?

Clemson and FSU to the SEC with Ohio St & Michigan? 

"SEC has been in serious contact with Ohio State, Michigan, Clemson, and Florida State. Not clear if this will materialize, but they have their eyes on a true 20 team MEGA conference. OU and Texas just the start. #ScoopCity"

Yeah not one person picked Toronto to repeat.

I did

In Raleigh NC.

Neighbors kid missed Bible school camp last week because he was out of town.

Missed it start of this week because he had a runny nose and the parents didn't want to send him (non covid, there is a runny nose / drip in throat / cough going around wake county) 

Camp emailed out today that they were halting because of covid. Everyone that went (including kids) has tested positive.

why wouldn’t GS just trade for Lillard? 

Maybe they don't really want Lillard.  Maybe Portland wants to trade Lillard out of the West.  I didn't ask either GM why they wanted it this way, I just accepted it.

They can’t trade both. One or the other. That is a fleecing by Philly too good lord 

Philly can offer its 1st in 2021 & 2023

GS can offer its 1st in 2021 & 2023, Minnesota's 1st in 2021

Sprinkle in a bunch of 2s, Tyrese Maxey to Portland, Seth Curry to GS

Simmons to GS, GS picks + Philly picks to Blazers, Lillard & McCollum to Philly

LeBron off the court is awesome. Solid dude who looks to be very family oriented and well spoken and deep on social issues. 

 

Imagine if you had off the court LeBron and on the court Kobe.

Taking a pending UFA gives them the rights to exclusively negotiate until Free Agency starts.  Not the greatest of plays, but there have been instances where teams have traded for expiring UFAs for that exclusive negotiation period.

Can also be a "wink / nod trade agreement". Take the UFA or RFA, sign him, then trade him back for a pick.

I even told them look when my daughter is vaccinated it’s fine. And you being here is fine. But your kid is waiting for a pcr test, can’t go to school, and is benched for the baseball team until the test comes back. Just don’t let my daughter take nap on you. 
 

they got mad stormed off and later said they were out of the family vacation

They can say what they want to about supply, but we have friends that drive those gas trucks and they’re telling us deliveries have stopped.  Maybe some trucks are running but at least some of the supply chain has been interrupted.  

That and there are significantly fewer drivers now. It's going to take a while for all the stations here to get back online.

Gas lines in Raleigh are long......and many stations are out of it.

Aaron to NE? 

What a world we live in now
