We Did It

@.MercedesBenzUK Mercedes-Benz, perfect for driving days and Knights. Congratulations Sir Lewis.

I feel like a good shorthand for a lot of economics arguments is "if you want people to work minimum wage jobs in your city, you need to allow minimum wage apartments for them to live in."

"These jobs are just for teenagers on the weekends." Okay, so you'll use minimum wage services only on the weekends and after school. No McDonald's or Starbucks on your lunch break.

"They can get a roommate." For a one bedroom? A roommate for a one bedroom? Or a studio? Do you have a roommate to get a middle-wage apartment for your middle-wage job? No? Why should they?

"They can live farther from city center and just commute." Are there ways for them to commute that don't equate to that rent? Living in an outer borough might work in NYC, where public transport is a flat rate, but a city in Texas requires a car. Does the money saved in rent equal the money spent on the car loan, the insurance, the gas? Remember, if you want people to take the bus or a bike, the bus needs to be reliable and the bike lanes survivable.

If you want minimum wage workers to be around for you to rely on, then those minimum wage workers need a place to stay.

You either raise the minimum wage, or you drop the rent. There's only so long you can keep rents high and wages low before your workforce leaves for cheaper pastures.

"Nobody wants to work anymore" doesn't hold water if the reason nobody applies is because the commute is impossible at the wage you provide.

"violence won't solve anything" why must violence "solve" anything? is it not enough to be sexy? and maybe even choreographed to music that slaps?

I love her so damn much.

so I finished watch glass onion like 30 minutes ago and it was fucking incredible. absolute masterpiece. but I wanted to talk about The Gay Moment for a hot sec.

so maybe this is a sign that I Have Been On The Internet Too Much Today but I was scrolling through the glass onion tag and I kept seeing this theme of people not realising until afterwards that High Grant is Blanc's husband

and people in the replys keep saying 'oh I don't blame you, it was blink and you miss it, it wasn't explicit enough, etc.' but guys you are missing the point.

the point is that if a woman opened blanc's apartment door, wearing and apron and covered in flour, your first reaction would not have been 'ah yes, Benoit blanc's maid/roommate/cleaner'

I'm sorry loves that is not the movie being unclear that is just the power of heteronormativity

Valtteri: I'm at that point where everything I say sounds sarcastic, whether it's supposed to or not

Feyre: *singing* When your legs don’t work like they used to before…

Rhys: Damn it Feyre…my knee is FINE

Feyre: And you can’t sweep me off of my feet…

Rhys: That’s it…I am flying you to house of wind RIGHT NOW…

Feyre: Will your mouth still remember the taste of my love….

Rhys: House of wind can wait…say more things like that 😉😏😉😏😉😈

Feyre: will your eyes still smile from your cheeks…

Rhys: well I prefer roaring and moaning but smiling sounds good too 😉😏😉😈

Feyre: And darling I will be loving you ‘til we’re 70….

Rhys: You weren’t even born when I was 70..
