The Ramifications of the #Coronavirus Hysteria

While everyone is hunkering down to do their "civic duty" by staying home, allowing their businesses to be shut down by the G.O.V..E.R.N.M.E.N.T, I realize no one is thinking.

Consider this:

How many stories have we heard about some crazed nut deciding to kill his wife and children and then eat a bullet himself because he got fired from a job?

EXPECT THAT IN SPADES.

How long before all of these "patriots" get sick of doing without and start LOOTING?

How long before people get fed up all together and begin RIOTING?

Those of you who have been "predicting" martial law for a DECADE NOW will finally get your wish.

But, it's all in the spirit of being a good American, right?

WHAT-THE-FUCK HAPPENED TO ALL OF THE REAL PATRIOTS WE USED TO HAVE JUST A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO???

Someone please pass out the cyanide. I really do not want to watch this shit show anymore.

#CORONAVIRUS

Dear IDIOTS!

As of this moment, there are currently 129,589 cases of Covid-19 worldwide. There have been 4,749 deaths to date. Simple, elementary school math tells us this is a mortality rate of .037 (3.7%). 

MEANWHILE, the current number of people who have caught influenza this year stands at 22 to 31 MILLION! The CDC reports that, while Coronavirus is getting all of the attention, the FLU IS "FAR DEADLIER":

The only thing all of this hyperbole and hysteria are accomplishing is PLUNGING US INTO A RECESSION, and if it does not stop we will be in an actual DEPRESSION by November 3rd.

If your goal is to propel an addle-brained man with dementia into the White House, KEEP IT UP!

Those of you who CLAIM to support Trump HAD BETTER START SUPPORTING HIM, STARTING WITH GOING BACK TO YOUR NORMAL DAILY LIVES!

Stop the idiocy!

Trying to Improve my Situation

As you will see in the description below, I am really needing to move out of the apartment I moved into a year-and-a-half ago. At the time, it was a blessing for which I was very thankful. I am still grateful that I have had a roof over my head. But, I had no way of knowing what the management company was like nor did I realize they were going to go through managers like crazy. Our SIXTH manager just quit, and we are moving on to number seven. 

My regular readers will recall the problems I had in late 2018 because they went two months without a manager. This apartment complex is very small. There is no real parking lot, just an area in front of the office with about ten parking spaces. In order to enter, you must go through a LOCKED security gate. At that time, our mail was given to the office which then sorted the mail and put it in wooden cubicles with our apartment numbers on them. If no one was in the office, no one got any mail.

Since then, they put in actual mailboxes...INSIDE THE LOCKED GATE. So, when no one is in the office, we STILL cannot get our mail because the Postal Service does not have a key to get in. Neither does UPS, nor FedEx, etc. (Please check my previous posts for more information about the problems tenants have had.) 

The situation is untenable. The good news is, I found a place right across the street that would be a perfect place to move. The bad news is, with my fixed income I will not be able to move any time soon and will be forced to renew my lease unless something happens to change my financial situation.

Which is where the following link comes in. Please share it with anyone you think might like to help. Thank you very much.

#LasVegas Homeless Hit the Jackpot

Hello, everyone!

This will be a brief post; I am buried in study materials to make my religious conversion complete, which is why I have rarely posted in this past year.

I just have to CONGRATULATE all of the HOMELESS in Las Vegas, Nevada! YOU HAVE WON!

Seriously. My readers will recall I was homeless until about a year-and-a-half ago. The legislature has just passed a law, effective January 1, that makes it a misdemeanor to sleep on the streets. KA-CHING! The "penalty" is six months in jail and a $1,000 fine (good luck collecting that shit!) So, on New Years' Day, grab your blanket/tent/whatever and park in front of the #LasVegas Police Department! They will bring you inside, assign you a bed and give you the first of many meals courtesy of the citizens of Las Vegas. 

Of course, I think they are going to need to build a couple of new jails....

And it gets better for those who are mentally ill and/or addicts, because the public defender's office is going to make sure you are placed in a mental health facility where the food is undoubtedly better than the jail house stuff. Of course, Las Vegas is going to have to build some more mental health facilities, too.

SERIOUSLY. I think this is great! However, there is one little drawback that people are going to start complaining about: HOUSING THOUSANDS OF NON-CRIMINALS AND BUILDING JAILS AND MENTAL HEALTH FACILITIES WILL NOT BE CHEAP, so get out your wallets, Tax Payers! (I bet you wish you had just given the guy on the corner $1, huh?)

Slum Lord Advanced Management Group, Las Vegas

These people do not give a flying fuck about their tenants. My sewage backed up again a couple of weeks ago. After stringing me along all of this time, they finally notified me that there is nothing wrong with my plumbing. Apparently it is normal to have feces back up into your bathtub!

Do not EVER rent from these people. The only thing they give a fuck about is protecting their Facebook page from negative comments and policing your language (the "f" word is anathema to them).

I am actually LOOKING FORWARD TO the next time the septic backs up. I AM GOING TO LEAVE IT THAT WAY. I will go to a motel and the sewage can flood this apartment, overflow into the apartment next door, and maybe after they suffer permanent structural damage they will GET OFF THEIR ASSES AND TAKE CARE OF THE FUCKING PROBLEM!!!

For the history of this insane problem:

Slum Lords in Las Vegas, Nevada

I apologize for the long absence, but I have not felt compelled to write anything until now. My readers will recall that I finally secured housing last June, and for a while things were wonderful. I guess you can call it the "honeymoon period". However, right before the holidays, things went south. When I first moved in, there was a female manager here who seemed to be nice enough. Then she disappeared, and a man took her place who also seemed to be nice enough, at first. Until he blamed me for something I did not do, and actually had the nerve to put a warning letter in my file. Until my septic backed up and, while the maintenance man admitted the plumbing problem was somewhere down the line away from my apartment, he simply snaked it until the toilet flushed and went on his way. That was about four months ago or so.

Last Friday, all hell broke loose. As I posted to the management company's Facebook page,

"HOW ABOUT THIS? My plumbing backed up Friday afternoon. Maintenance could not snake it, so a plumber came out. He tried to snake it but said the blockage was somewhere down the pipe away from the apartment and said he would come back Saturday with some other equipment to try and clear it out. I went to sleep. My neighbor woke me up at FOUR THIRTY IN THE MORNING pounding on my door. I could not hear what she was saying, so I jumped out of bed ready to cuss her out...AND LANDED IN WATER!!! THE. ENTIRE. APARTMENT. WAS. UNDER. WATER! The reason my neighbor was there is because it had overflowed into ANOTHER apartment!!! We managed to get the water up, and Ivy (manager) arranged for the plumber to arrive around 11:30, which he did. After putting a camera into the pipe, he showed me where tree roots have grown into the pipe and that obviously this was going to be a major job for which approval was needed. He told me to keep the water in the bathroom off except for occasionally flushing the toilet. He said I MIGHT be able to take a quick, two-minute shower, but that there is no guarantee it would not close back up and flood the apartment again. Fast forward to today...NO ONE CAME. Apparently management is worried about bids. FUCK the health code violations! I guess you people are independently wealthy and a few fines are no big deal for you. I have been MORE than patient. MORE than patient. MORE. THAN. PATIENT. TOMORROW, I call the health department and HUD so they can freeze payment to you until such time as you decide to LIVE UP TO YOUR END OF THE FUCKING LEASE!!!!!"

The explanation (if we can call it that) is the plumber did not send the video and work order on Saturday, but rather just before noon Monday. Then I find out that the plumber has to submit an estimate which has to be approved but only after whatever hoops get jumped through....

EXCUSE ME, BUT I CANNOT SHOWER. I CAN ONLY FLUSH MY TOILET A HANDFUL OF TIMES, AND I HAVE TO SLEEP WITH MY VALUABLES ON MY BED IN CASE I HAVE ANOTHER FLOOD! When I mentioned the damages I have incurred already, I was told to talk to my insurance company. APPARENTLY ADVANCED MANAGEMENT GROUP THINKS I HAVE $250 LYING AROUND TO PAY FOR DAMAGES THEY CAUSED!!!

Where in my lease does it say that, if the apartment becomes unsafe, I must wait while everyone goes through a bidding war and figures out what, if anything, they deign to do????????????????????????????????????????????????

Maybe I should sit around and make them wait until I figure out if I want to pay them rent next month?!

BOTTOM LINE: NEVER SHOULD ANYONE EVER lease an apartment whose management is "Advanced Management Group".

Meanwhile, maybe someone would be willing to take me to a truck stop and pay for me to take a shower, since these people clearly do not give a flying fuck?
