Monday's and $500 dollar rent increases...

Jesus. Why is it that every day after Sunday is Monday? I think we should lobby for Sunday 1.5. Sunday 1.5 would extend through what is now Monday morning until 11:30am leaving only 4-5 hours to work on the new Monday. The corporation thats failed to acknowledge would be charged 2x the tax rate for every hour worked on Sunday1.5 and/or workers would be paid overtime. Sounds like a sweet deal to me. Oh yeah and it's also been brought to my attention by a couple of friends that rents in DC and VA are fuckin jumping like $500 dollars a month. What the fuck is that all about. I can understand raising the rents as inflation rises but $500 dollars a month all at once? I would be paying 200 dollar shy of double my rent if that happened. Fuck that! is that even legal? Who the hell are they expecting to take that shit without blowing someone's house up? I am not poor or anything but an extra $500 dollars a month and all I would be able to do is sleep and work. Again, FUCK THAT!!! I think its time to contact our congressperson oh wait... we don't have one in DC!! I move for a rent strike.. no one (well at least the people that are getting fucked) should pay their rent for the remainder of there tenancy and bond together with the rest of the tenants and start and escro account and put all of the rent in there and hold it hostage until the building owners stop trying to fuck u.

I don't understand... what could possible constitute such an increase... at 500 dollars extra a month you should be getting a fucking jaccuzzi, free cable and a new BMW Z but they aren't offering you shit but hard times and more late fees. Personally I would be considering moving out and on the last day forgeting to take that bowl of kerosine I was cooking off of the stove top... but thats just me... my place is rent controlled so what the fuck do i.... know. Although I did notice that there was a meeting of all of the building owners and the township to try and put an end to the rent control laws in our neighborhood... I guess we'll just have to wait until too many of the middle class a rendered homeless before something happens though. No one seems to notice how important shit is until they can't have it anymore.

Oh well... that all i got to say about that. My girlfriend is in town which is unrelated to this topic but still pretty good shit in my book. Keep it real folks and for gods sake you don't have to take it!!!
