Somebody else can pull out the statistics but in my mind Bird was the best three point shooter that ever was.
Well, there are a brazillion of them.
Until now I wasn't aware that giant armadillos were a thing I really wish existed.
I think he had built so many bridges with so many people in his community and in politics that no one wanted to be the one that turned against him.
Jim Jones is such a fascinating character because of how much good he did. He fought for social justice, championed racial equality and tried to help the poor.

That said, I don't think they knew the monster they were unleashing when they created The Real World.

This exists in a few places in the US under the term "rent stabilization" but it is not tied to interest rates or inflation and exactly who qualifies gets a little murky.

Market forces have their place but they are often disadvantageous to lower incomes and should be curtailed when we're talking something that people can't do without.
