Little old lady who whines about a lot of stuff. Misses her husband a lot. Raving radical.
When Johnâs mother died, my sister gave us an orchid. John took care of itâproper medium, orchid food etc. it never bloomed. After he died, I put it in regular potting soil, never fed it. It didnât bloom, until this year.

I checked and found that a loud Centrist Democrat, rattling on about competitive capitalism, has been engaging in the kind of stock trading that makes a lot of us realize how rigged the system is.

Landlord costs donât increase with inflation, as inflation measures costs that have nothing to do with operating rental property. The costs are much more comparable to the cost of repair/maintenance on owner-occupied properties. Weâve known this since the â70s, BTW.

A few years ago, a study found that NYC landlords with rent-stabilized apartments saw their incomes increase 8%, even though the allowable rent increase was 5%. Rent-stabilized landlords arenât hurting.

What resources? What volunteers? What infrastructure? The Democrats who work on DSA candidate campaigns choose to do so. And we donât get squat from the centrists, except for a zillion requests for money every week.
