Why is everything in consumer / American life so fucking shitty now - and companies literally just say 'oh bc profit margins' and we're now expected to swallow that and sympathize?

I’ve found being nice to people, especially the folks who tend to get treated horribly, usually leads to a way better experience. They’ll go out of their way to help you if you’re nice.

Especially in a scenario where they’re being recorded on the phone - they’d lose their jobs if they say or admit anything negative about their bosses. Some even get in trouble if they go off script.

Just let them know your issue, if you are kind and persistent, odds are ittl worn out in your favor.

CNBC breaks shocking news

I own a home with a mortgage. I’d sell my house to an llc, and rent to myself. The. I’d be able to deduct the profit of the llc from the expenses (the mortgage and upkeep of the home), and then deduct the rent I’m effectively paying to myself from my income.

I mean I’d love for this to happen, but if every home in the country did this, no one would pay taxes, and communities would be underfunded. Goodbye water treatment, police, firemen, teachers. Probably not great for society as a whole.
