how will the stock market respond now after it sell off today since Joe Biden just ordered missle strikes against Syria?
Favourite answer:It was against Iranian backed sites that were used to launch attacks against US targets in Iraq. So now you are advocating letting attacks on our assets go without response because of what it will do to stocks? The founding fathers pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor. You appear to want to pledge our lives and our honor but hands off that sacred fortune.

Is it truly odd that I pay rent with a personal check? ?
Favourite answer:That's a pretty big fee, I don't get it.
I pay a lot of things online. With some transactions, the bank sends an *actual, physical check* to the recipient, but most are electronic transfers. Neither one costs *me* anything.
Using a debit card does cost the business / store / recipient a fee which is why many businesses have / had $5 minimums on debit transactions (though I've noticed some local businesses have dropped that requirement so they don't have to handle cash during the pandemic). I can pay my property taxes to the town by debit card, but there is a 3% processing fee. My tax preparer still takes checks, because he doesn't want the hassle of charging the fee or raising his rates to cover it.
Years ago, I started to write a check and was told the business didn't take checks, but would accept a debit card. "Checks bounce, debit cards tell you right away if there's a balance in the account," the woman said. In fact, a friend of mine was checking out at the grocery store the other day and discovered the automatic deposit that *should have* gone in that day had not. Embarrassing.
I write maybe a dozen checks a year.
Your bank is ripping it's customers off, but you've found a satisfactory work-around.

Landlord is selling house ?
We've lived in our house for 6 years and today our landlord let us know that when our lease is up at the end of June, we'll have no option to renew because they're selling the house. They've struggled this year with covid and explained they have no choice.
We've never been late on rent, have made numerous updates to the home(such as new paint throughout, fixing the fence in our back yard when damaged by a fallen tree, and replacing the washer and dryer the home comes with per our lease) and have made most small repairs as they've arose.
We're hoping to get our deposit back early to be able to move out before this lease is up as we were not expecting to need to move this year. Without it, we'd be financially struggling to make the necessary move. Is there any legal rights that we have in this situation?
For reference, we live in Pennsylvania.

How do I tell my client I won't wear a mask at her home?
I am a realtor and I refuse to wear a face mask at my client's showing and she's madder than a wet hen. I know that COVID is a Democrat hoax and I refuse to be subjected to something that can potentially cause me to pass out due to lack of oxygen.

Is it ok to ask a potential landlord or realtor if the stove in the apartment you will view is electric or gas?
I live in a neighborhood where most of the apartments in houses have guards/cages on the windows to prevent break-ins. Because of this I prefer and electric stove to prevent a fire.

Do I need to sue my landlord?
My landlord is entering my property too often and I'm not OK with it. He has been entering for pest control and "other maintenance" every 6 weeks or so and I am completely fed up. I am at a point where I am considering pressing charges against him. What he is doing is against the law and I will not allow him to come into my apartment except when I ask for something.

Is it excessive for a landlord to want to enter your home every month to inspect and spray for bugs?
I rented a small house and I'm finding it really annoying the landlord wants to come in and spray for bugs every month. I hardly ever see a bug but he said it's their policy. He doesn't hire a professional exterminator, just sprays something himself then he wants to put out bait monitor traps so he has to look in all the cupboards, closets, everywhere.
He then wants to criticize everything. No extension cords or power strips, no candles, no space heaters. I was starting to get pissed because they sick a note on the door and then expect me to be there. They came last week to spray bugs now tomorrow he comes back for reinspection and to install new smoke alarms.
Turns out they can fail you for things not specifically stated in the lease agreement, like having the furnace turned up to high. It feels like it's more about inspecting and snooping through my stuff than anything.
