Reply to Bailiffs Are Dressing Up Like Police Officers to Scare Tenants Out of Their Homes by Mighty_L_LORT
There should absolutely be legal action taken - against both the eviction firm and the landlord.
I don’t know londons laws, but there should be something that covers this horrifying scenario.

I’m right there with you.
The last report that I read said we could cut something like 25% of the generals and be fine.
Similar numbers for colonels and lieutenant colonels, less for major, and even less to none for captains and below.

It’s a holdover from the Cold War and World War II, really.
In an all out war situation where we are drafting people, the generals will have many more people under each of their commands, so the proportion would look “correct”.
As is it with the number of people we have today, we are drastically overbalanced.

Sometimes.
It can still take a long time with eminent domain.

Well, we could be a dictatorship and just forcibly move entire population centers.
But I’m glad we don’t, even if I do get frustrated by Nimbys and how long infrastructure projects take.

Reply to Texas students raise $250,000 for 80-year-old school janitor forced out of retirement by fgfgfgg
There’s not enough info (intentionally) about why he has to come out of retirement.
One cause was because his rent increased $400, yes. But what else? Did he have insufficient savings to have entered retirement to begin with?
Or did he spend more than expected? A victim of elder abuse (theft)?

Whoa.
There are three refineries in Alaska.
Kenai, North Pole, and Valdez.
They are just small. Kenai can take in 68,000 barrels per day, North Pole is 22,000 bpd, and Valdez is 60,000 bpd.
Also, they all produce diesel and jet fuel, but only Kenai produces gasoline.

It’s better than dividing kids.
They come after for things like murder and child abuse and whatnot when you do that.
