Better still, tried. convicted, and sentenced to be one-time rope testers. And leave their carcasses to rot off the noose.

I live in an apartment community for 55 and over. They have held off from renewing leases because they plan to take our COLA in January.

So this is no big deal for helping with my costs of living.

They kept saying 10% early on....many, many times...let’s face it...it’s rigged...they only count certain categories to get the result they want.
