what
>I FIRST met Larraine when we both lived in a trailer park on the far South Side of Milwaukee. Fifty-four, with silvering brown hair, Larraine loved mystery novels, “So You Think You Can Dance” and doting on her grandson. Even though she lived in a mobile home park with so many code violations that city inspectors called it an “environmental biohazard,” she kept a tidy trailer and used a hand steamer on the curtains. But Larraine spent more than 70 percent of her income on housing — just as one in four of all renting families who live below the poverty line do. After paying the rent, she was left with $5 a day.

>Under conditions like these, evictions have become routine. Larraine (whose name has been changed to protect her privacy) was evicted after she borrowed from her rent money to cover part of her gas bill. The eviction movers took her stuff to their storage unit; after Larraine was unable to make payments, they took it to the dump.
>Those of us who don’t live in trailer parks or inner cities might think low-income families typically benefit from public housing or some other kind of government assistance. But the opposite is true. Three-quarters of families who qualify for housing assistance don’t get it because there simply isn’t enough to go around. This arrangement would be unthinkable with other social services that cover basic needs. What if food stamps only covered one in four families?
>America stands alone among wealthy democracies in the depth and expanse of its poverty. Ask most politicians what we should do about this, and they will answer by calling for more and better jobs. Paul Ryan, the Republican speaker of the House, thinks we need to do more to “incentivize work.” Hillary Clinton, the front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination, thinks we should raise the minimum wage. But jobs are only part of the solution...

America's housing situation is pretty much garbage right now. I just finished my degree, so I have a real place now, but I had some really close calls to homelessness. Landlords just have so much power it's insane. I had a roommate duck out without paying the last month's rent and I was sued. Successfully. I was evicted from an apartment that we had been trying to leave.
Fuck landlords, seriously. If there's a good one out there I've never met them.
>>27302
My mom's a landlord.
You have to realize, the majority of tenants are also shit, so most landlords are used to dealing with them.
>>27302
It's bad in Canada as well. People who work trades like flooring are needing roommates to get by now.
The apartment i rented in 2006 for $370 a month is now just over $900. Min wage might have went up some since then, but if you were making $13 an hour in 2006 you are lucky to be making $15 now.

Former first lady Nancy Reagan has died in California at the age of 94.
Mrs Reagan had been living in Bel Air, Los Angeles, and had been in failing health in recent years.
Her 52-year marriage to Ronald Reagan was once described as the greatest love affair in the history of the American presidency.
When she became first lady in 1981, Mrs Reagan was criticised for an expensive renovation of the White House, but later became a much-loved figure.

Except bomb threats and other threats of bodily harm have never been considered protected speech. How are these incidents a threat to our freedom of expression?
Don't go around threatening to blow people up. It's pretty fucking simple. The police have to waste valuable resources and manpower responding to these threats as if they were serious. They can't gamble on the basis that someone may be crying wolf, because then they'd be even more negligent for not responding at all.

Ever wonder if Rover really loves you -- or if he's just in it for the kibbles?
a study published this week in the journal PLOS One has yielded fresh insight into how dogs see us. It adds to existing research showing that -- much like humans, other primates and even goats -- our canine friends use specific regions of their brain to "process" our faces.
"Our study provides evidence that human faces are truly special for dogs, as it involves particular brain activity," study co-author Dr. Luis Concha, an associate professor at the National Autonomous University of Mexico's Institute of Neurobiology, told The Huffington Post in an email. "To dogs, the human face is no ordinary thing."
For the study, the researchers trained seven dogs (five border collies, one Labrador retriever and one golden retriever) to lie awake and motionless in an fMRI scanner while they were shown a series of color photographs. 50 of the photos were of human faces -- males and females unfamiliar to the dogs -- with neutral expressions. Another 50 showed everyday objects.
The researchers noticed that whether the dogs were looking at faces or objects, their brains showed activity in the occipital cortex, a region at the rear of the brain that is known to be involved in visual processing. But when the dogs were looking at faces, their brains also showed activity in the frontal lobe and the caudate nucleus -- regions associated with communication, emotional expression and storing memories.
This study builds on previous research indicating that the canine brain processes human faces in a special way. In an email to HuffPost, Dr. Gregory S. Berns, a neuroscientist at Emory University and the author of the 2013 book How Dogs Love Us, called the new study a "nice confirmation of what we found in a similar experiment in dogs last year."

Underrated post
For the first time since pre-WWII era, a neo-nazi political party (formed by radical Marian Kotleba) was elected in Slovakia. According to analysts, the situation was most likely caused by the strong stance of Slovak people against the refugee crisis, which is seen by election of some brand new anti-immigration-focused political parties. For a long time, Slovakia refused to help Europe with refugees.

>San Francisco sheriff's deputies allegedly created and oversaw a "fight club" that featured inmates brawling with one another under threat of punishment, according to San Francisco District Attorney George Gascón, who announced charges Tuesday for three deputies
>According to the the prosecutor's office, Deputy Scott Neu, the alleged ringleader of the case, forced inmates to fight "gladiator-style" against their will or face punishments including being maced, tased, beaten, or moved to another jail. Another officer, Deputy Eugene Jones, is accused of helping Neu to force the inmates to fight, while a third, Deputy Clifford Chiba, is accused of standing by and doing nothing while Neu prompted the fighting.
>Neu is also accused of forcing inmates to do push-ups and dips and to gamble for food, clean clothing, and bedding.
>All three were Sheriff's Department employees stationed at the county jail in San Francisco, where they worked on the seventh floor, according to the prosecutor's office. Neu has since been fired from the department.

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/04/business/smith-wesson-says-news-events-drove-firearm-sales-higher.html
>Smith & Wesson reported a better-than-expected 61 percent jump in quarterly revenue, at a time when the American presidential election campaigns and recent shootings have stoked concerns about stricter gun laws. Shares of the company were up about 5 percent in extended trading. Smith & Wesson’s chief, P. James Debney, told analysts in a conference call that demand for firearms was a result of the short-term influences of “potential impact of news events and the current political environment.” Firearm net sales jumped 56.4 percent, to $194.7 million, in the third quarter, from a year earlier. Michael O. Fifer, the chief of a rival, Sturm Ruger, said last week he expected an increase in demand if a Democrat became president. Net income almost quadrupled to $31.4 million, or 56 cents a share, in the third quarter ended Jan. 31, from $8.1 million, 15 cents a share, a year earlier. Revenue rose to $210.8 million.
