Isn’t that nice
I’m sure they have their financial struggles, but all this does is prove why we need a national healthcare system:

1. Unspecified across-the-board cuts to nondefense discretionary spending, down by one-third on average in 2024, after inflation. The cuts would then expand to roughly 59%, on average, by 2033

Law firms can reap thousands of $ in attorney fees from each HOA foreclosure case they help file.
Critics say this system creates a perverse incentive for attorneys to advise the HOAs to file more foreclosure cases.w/ @rmpbs https://t.co/zkBglFbF3P
