I googled and learned that these other cures were highly recommend by the search engine. The medical websites also had links to my favorite ammunition stores, So I am hopeful!...

Hydroxychloroquine for trump

Posted by Bayou Sam on 10/2/20 at 4:45 pm
Does anyone know if our president is taking Hydroxychloroquine? I learned on this board that the liberal media was lying to crash the economy and bring in Maoism and that this was the cure. ...
How amazing would it be if every fanatical racist on this board just dropped dead?...

"Calling St. Georrggggeeee"...
I'm going to interpret this question as "whose decisions were most important in shaping the modern (western) world?" I think the answer has to be "what is the most contingent thing"--i.e., what could almost certainly have been radically otherwise had this figure not intervened? With this in mind,...

Unfortunately it's a sci-fi movie that makes you think, so naturally the studio refused to distribute it....

Thanks for the link. Fortunately that wouldn't affect me at this point (fingers crossed)....

Yeah, that points back to my original question. If the city enforces the 90-day rule (so far they have not), what you'll see is lots of airbnb owners voluntarily blocking off dates, especially regular weekdays, in order to save their 90 days for mardi gras, jazz fest, and other big holidays and week...

Yeah you are definitely right that Airbnb isn't the only player--but of course the others aren't cooperating with the city at this time, and hence their data is "invisible". [quote]Airbnb will only let you rent for 90 days a year on their website right?[/quote] Apparently not--I think they lea...

[quote]You also have to realize that a high percentage of short term renters are looking to skim and not report rentals, not pay their taxes. [/quote] That's part of the deal Airbnb struck with the city government though--airbnb collects the taxes themselves and pays them to the city. ...

But wouldn't the city make more money from the airbnb taxes, combined with the tendency of short-term-rentals to raise rents and home prices, and thus property taxes? On the flip side, the city will have to spend money and resources on enforcement. So it seems like they have a financial interest in ...

What makes you think they are going to crack down hard on the 90-night rule?...
I believe this is the stage known as "bargaining"...
