  • A landlord cannot just come on top the lawn and start ripping it up without the tenant’s permission.

    On one hand, yes. On the other hand that’s only as enforceable as a tenant can fight it.

    In practice it happens. Unless the tenant has the resources or there’s a legal advocacy group dedicated to that specific issue, owners tend to be able to do whatever they want so long as they use the argument of ‘protecting my property’.

    The settlement and restitution just ends up something like the owner keeps their stuff there and maybe you get to terminate your lease tomorrow without being forced to pay out the whole eight remaining months of the lease. But that’s anecdotal.






  • I hear you, though I am more inclined to take a Gramscian view that cultural hegemony of capitalist/imperial core entities convert those anarchists to libertarians, or some form of compromised anarcho-syndicalism or libertarian socialism. So I wouldn’t call them anarchists.

    But it’s not a True Scotsman thing for me, so I don’t fundamentally disagree with that perspective.




  • Oh it can all be found if you look for it, no doubt, but CNNworld has the story down with the monkey with the stuffed animal story.

    APNews does not appear to feature the story on their main page at all. They’re running a Today In History story on Rodney King’s beating.

    USA Today does have the story on their main page, also fairly low and with the headline: “Who attacked a girls’ school in Iran, and will there be accountability?”

    But mainly the pundit circles have been ignoring it. But that’s what the punditry circuit does. Hyperfixate, ignore anything as needed.
