Thinking the same thing, nobodies calling the Pope a painter because he paid Michelangelo to paint a chapel.

In b4 someone mentions some famous artists had apprentices under them.

I might start watching golf, and everytime someone else get's the ball in the hole i'll take credit for it. "Did you see what did there? "

> Many people want to buy but cannot put up the initial costs.

This, monthly rent actually costs more here in Ireland than what you would pay monthly for mortgage.

>that will inevitably shrink the supply of rentals

As someone that's renting because buying is impossible i think this would be fantastic. They should do it with Airbnb too.

Not American or in the US, this is problem everywhere now. People thinking they're entrepreneurs for gouging.

People will come up with all kinds of reasoning, its the property tax, it's migrants, its minimum wage, it's millennials, it's inflation ,when ultimately it's just that landlords will charge whatever they think they can get away.

and sometimes they'll try to charge in other ways...

i am in the process of finishing up a role doing annotations for these, for a company i cannot name (basically clicking lots of box hundreds of times a day)

So the endless hosepipe of repetitive , occasionally messed up, requests has probably not helped me endear myself to them.

Anecdotally having chatgpt do some of my CV was ok but i had to go through it and remove some exaggerations. The one thing i think these bots are good at is talking things up..

I know people will say things like "oh see the tax is actually a loss to ".

But what loss exactly? he was barely paying taxes anyway? How many jobs was his "family office" providing? how many are lost by him changing a postal address to Delaware?

>The majority of open source software development is "implementing something that already exists"

I don't think open office/libre office etc have access to the source code for MS office and if they did MS would be on them like a rash.
