The cost of goods should go up. It is a healthy sign of the economy. The fact that wages don’t is the problem.
I’m not a landlord but the taxes go up every single year. Home insurance goes up every single year. Both often by a lot. Compared to 2019 my taxes are up 45% and my home insurance is up 500%.
The land value is up purely because they ain’t making any more of it.
The cost to repair everything goes up every year. A part of my washing machine broke again. Part was $20 in 2017. Part was $60 4 months ago. Post Tarifs it will probably be closer to $100. Nevermind the labor if I can’t DIY.
Plenty of reasons for costs to go up each year.
Real question is :
Why the fuck aren’t the wages going up?
If that too kept up with inflation since the 1970s then we’d all be happier then pigs in shit.

But specifically for not knowing what to expect is a feature not a bug.
If you don’t know the exact procedure every time - then you can’t plan for every countermeasure. You cannot plan 100% when the variables are always changing.
It also distracts any would-be bomber because they need to waste attention on following whatever rules they decided apply today only.

I imagine it would work about as well as YouTube Kids would.
Which is to say not at all
I am pretty sure you need a special PC with NPU to have Recall
Yes Audiobooks Streaming, Ebook rentals, and Movie Streaming are all valid uses that show up as funding for your local library.
That’s an oldie but it checks out sir.
Mate you’re already in the restaurant. If you couldn’t talk to anyone, or move your own weight - you wouldn’t have made it inside the restaurant to the counter. Those issues already had solutions to get to the point of ordering.
If only eARC worked well. It’s support seems garbage.
I had nothing but problems with eARC. DRM errors. Sound cutting out constantly. Device detection not working so the TV swaps back to internal speakers.
Not one problem since swapping to optical.
Last time I registered was for my dishwasher, all it did was get me on the mailing list to buy another dishwasher.
How many fuckin dishwashers do you think I need, mate?
I just stopped registering anything. I’m entitled to my warranty either way.
You know you can dumb shit, right?
It’s rarely a secret these days whether something has wifi, or Bluetooth.
The closest thing I have to “the world of tomorrow” are regular degular hand operated dimmer switches. They’re great. I have one in every room.
No idea why everyone thinks you need the Internet to dim a light.

Better not tell you now
I can’t tell what this is a dig about. Less Apps available? Less required maintenance time? Less Notification spam? Or?
But I’m all for it.
FYI: You might “only” be responsible for what is inside your condo but you are 100% on the hook for the costs external to your unit.
Surfside in Miami has forced all of the Condos to re-imagine their finances. Some units are being hit with $100,000 Special Assessments to repair the foundation, or facade, or just keep sufficient balance. There is no way out of this except to sell. They can charge you whatever they want, whenever they want.
Also “external” problems are also yours. One of the 5 units above yours flood into yours? That’s a civil problem between you and the whichever unit it is. Good luck finding them, and getting your money. Even if you get it. You still have to deal with the trouble.
Had condo suffer water damage 11 times in 8 years due to various reasons caused by units above. Basically on your own. Condo board is not getting involved. You get all the problems of someone else’s lack of maintenance, and none of the benefits of your own maintenance.
Condo Fees went from $110/month to $930/month because ‘fuck me’ I guess. No control over that either. You can petition the board but it’s full of old nosy fucks.
