expect every Republican to flip to some generic "I'll make sure data centers pay for their own electricity" bullshit talking point immediately
A lot of people here have been asking for this. It's just one of two new ads I saw start running against Vivek today.
I rented a unit at Extra Space Storage in Columbus three months ago for $114/month. Yesterday, I got hit with a 30-day notice that my rent is jumping to $194—a 70% increase. They are actively advertising my exact same unit size to new customers for $154. I called the manager to negotiate or prepay 6 months at my current rate to lock it in. He told me the corporate system physically wouldn't let him accept a prepayment at the old rate. When I told him I’d have to vacate by July 29, he didn't even try to stop me or offer a retention discount.
Today i learned this is part of a calculated, industry-wide strategy used by massive, publicly traded Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) like Extra Space Storage, Public Storage, and CubeSmart. They use dynamic pricing and offer low intro prices to get you through the door, but the second your contract shifts to a month-to-month lease (mine was 3 months) they hit you with an extreme rate hike, calculating most customers won't bother to move out.
anyway, fuck them, anyone have a suggestion for a place with a prepay/rate lock option? uhaul advertises it so I'll go with that if nobody has a better suggestion. NW Columbus/Dublin preferred
(Ohio) my ex recently died and at the time, i had just started the process of getting my own will and trust drafted. at our first check in meeting, i found my attorney rather rude and hard to work with. Because of my ex's unexpected death, we put the process on hold so my documents aren't finalized yet. Now I'm wondering if i have to keep working with her and force my loved ones to have to work with her long term if i die.
Could i get her to finish drafting my documents but then work with a new attorney longer term and make amendments if they are ever needed? or should i cut her loose now and start over?

and yes somebody said a mean thing to him on Twitter and sent a pizza to his house, but why can't his private security approach these dangerous snow shovelers without getting the police involved?
