You’re missing the point I’m trying to make entirely and arguing the way they’re going to try to implement it. How it’s going to happen doesn’t matter, but the fact still is you and everyone else can expect this to become common place.

People are ignorant af. Surge pricing is exactly the same as offering a discount on prices during the less busy times and suddenly people are ok with it. “Our businesses surge from 1030-1300 and 1700-1900 so we’re gonna charge $15 for the meal that’s normally $13.” Is the same exact situation as: Xyz economic situation is causing us to raise prices across the board, so we’re gonna now charge $15 for this meal. Oh wait business is slow, offer them a discount outside of these hours: 1030-1300 and 1700-1900.

Have you considered contacting the landlord to see if you could just paint it with their permission because if I was a landlord and my tenant wanted to do something like that, assuming they did it properly, I wouldn’t be upset. It would probably be considered an improvement.

I forgot where I watched it, but I heard most duct cleaning services are a scam. They’re operated by an agent outside of the country to get people to come to your house, beat on your ducts, and then show you pictures of how clean they’ve made them, all while charging a pretty penny without actually cleaning them properly.

Northern Virginia with Verizon and every provider in the area for some competition. I also own my router and have Verizon for my cell phone service so they discount me $10 to get to that $25. (Normally $35)

300 up and down for $25 a month checking in.

I’ve heard and have no source for this, but most of the bigger porn subreddits were basically run by people who had a ton of money trying to push their own content to the top to generate revenue.
