snowballing

yeah, it is not snowballing, it is Network Effect. for the people who want to use a twitter-like social network, the value is in the many other people using it.

but, as you are doing, telling people to leave is the correct move. because for every person that the network loses, the network loses value for everyone (the network effect going in reverse)

that is true, we had to change administrators one time and it was not an easy process. my comment was mostly that the blanket statement of "politics in an apartment complex are worse that an HOA" is not true, it depends on the building and the HOA

Having lived both in buildings where my family owned one apartment, and houses where there was an HOA, i can tell you that the politics of the apartment building was not even close to how insne an HOA is. it was mostly taking about the budget, prioritizing repairs, and security

honestly, even if the house is turned in november and they vote to impeach them, the next step is trial at the senate. it requires 2/3 of the votes, so they won't get convicted and removed

Water is almost 90% oxygen by mass. It is over for OP

not OP, but according to some of those definitions (cambridge, collins, longman), NYC would be the only metropolis in the US, as it is the US' largest, busiest, and most important city.

I think cancer is a better analogy.

Like cancer cells, billionaires are part of the system that just keeps on trying to grow and hoard all the resources, hurting and damaging the organism
