Is this a simply an attempt to generate revenue, or is he trying to stem the growth of Airbnb rentals?

>A proposed ordinance released by Cincinnati City Council member David Mann yesterday would levy a 7 percent excise tax on short-term rentals such as those listed on sites like Airbnb and would require those rentals to be registered and certified compliant with city safety regulations.
>Under the potential new law, the tax receipts collected by sites like Airbnb would go to the city's recently-created affordable housing trust fund.

He was already a couple minutes into the rant, and out of respect for everyone’s time I started transcribing it here. It covers more than enough to provide entertainment and enlightenment that only Lombardi can supply.
PS - there’s a few words in parentheses…those are words that Siri misunderstood, but I thought were funny so I left in, as well as the original word. Cheers y’all. Here’s to another W week!!!
…..”I’m here to talk about actual football I’m not here to talk about fantasy football. I’m here to talk about actual efficiency within the context of the 49er system. What Kyle shanahan is calling and what Kyle Shanahan needs Jimmy Garoppolo to do, and that necessity is very simple, is the 49ers need a quarterback who’s efficient at key junctures with his arm to unlock the ability to run at volume, so the 49ers can punish other teams, right? and They need that quarterback to be able to do that behind an offensive line that, especially, on the right side is not great in pass protection. Jimmy Garoppolo has (beautifully) undisputedly been doing that since….all season really, but since week 8 (we gay) he’s doing it at an extremely high level. so again, this is not to say that Jimmy Garoppolo is a top three or top four, or top five quarterback. No. this is saying that jimmy Garoppolo’s doing his job. at an efficiency clip that is extremely high and at this efficiency clip the 49ers are absolutely contenders it’s as simple as that. don’t make it more complicated than it has to be. you can have your legacy arguments, again, after a guy retires, or in the middle of the off-season. let’s have an actual football argument right now. let’s have an actual efficiency argument right now, and Jimmy Garoppolo is winning that argument convincingly. this was an excellent performance from him.” - David Lombardi
- a ghetto transcription through my iPhone voice to talk (actually pretty inaccurate - like 70% of words correct) I left in some of the funny mistranslations (they are in quotes)
Whats the deal with Dhar Mann’s videos being so popular?
I keep seeing people talk about Dhar Mann’s videos and how absurd they are. I watched one (regretfully) and it seems all of his videos are comprised of poorly acted out scenarios.
I’d write this off as some weird project but it seems each of his videos get to the 5-10 mil viewer count every time. I don’t get it, what exactly is the target demographic for this sort of content? As I mentioned earlier the acting is terrible and the situations are predictable. Am I missing something?
I’m about 50 days out from my wedding- now dress-less. I bought my dress from David’s back in January. I knew I wanted something simple and I’d prefer to budget the dress low so more money could be used elsewhere, so I figured David’s would do. And it did- I found a dress I liked, seemed flattering on my figure, and SUPER budget friendly. I went for alterations today and tried on my purchased dress for the first time and it was a disaster. Like a crying, hopeless, panic-calling my mom and fiancé disaster. I was encouraged to purchase a size 10, despite being a street size 4/6. Ok fine- bridal sizes are notoriously weird. The size 10 was to accommodate my somewhat wider hips, and everything could be altered down so I was told. Except I was truly swimming in a size 10. My seamstress tells me 6 inches needs to come in off the bust, 1.5 for each circumference of my upper arms (long sleeve dress), and a lot of awkward bunching all throughout the torso. I could feel extra inches of what was supposed to be a form fitting dress gathering at my waist. However, the seamstress told me she would NOT be able to do anything for the waist because of the vertical seams on the dress, and that they would end up in a horrible zigzag if I wanted it form fitting. So my fit and flare, tight sleeve dress now fit me no better than your average long sleeve t shirt. I was in a complete shock. Seamstress was at a loss for how to alter it without ruining the integrity of the dress because it was just that big on me. Mind you, I have not lost weight since the time I bought it. I tried on a size 6 that I thought fit well, but the saleswoman said my measurements had to be a 10. She said the sample dresses get too stretched out to be a reflection of their real size anyway. Further research has told me the size way up tactic is just for extra $$$ for their alterations department. I have no hope for a refund, and am lucky enough BHLDN can get me in tomorrow and rush a dress. Please procede with caution when it comes to David’s, unless you enjoy potentially burning a few hundred dollars.
Mind you in my wedding planning journey, our first venue cancelled on us, my bachelorette party was a disaster, and I now have 7 weeks to find a dress. It has been so terribly discouraging.
I’ve been watching Dhar Mann’s videos and I’ve realised most of them follow a very similar formula. It goes something like this: person/people discriminate against someone or do something bad, they find something out about them (they’re rich, they’re good at a sport etc) and then they forgive them.
I think it’s such a bad message that they only apologise when they find out something like that. They are not apologising for being discriminatory, they’re apologising for most likely their own gain.
Also, the chances of any of these scenarios ever happening is almost non-existent. Not every disabled person you meet is gonna be the CEO of some company. They’re acting like their only use is for that one thing. It should be that they are really supportive or that they do good things. And no ableist person is going to stop being ableist because someone is good. That’s not how a brain works.
There are probably arguments against this but it’s just my opinion
Edit: spelling
As someone formerly with an abusive partner, I wonder if this is a plausible theory. I think David loves isolating and torturing Jenelle more than he loves the money that would have come from any of her business deals. SewSew only has like 2k IG followers? So she would have made, what, a couple thousand dollars at the most?
Abusers’ means have no limits. Their egos are all that matter. He probably hates her being successful, looking cute on an ad campaign, getting her confidence up, and making money he can’t control. New opportunities mean potential business travel, Jenelle having fun, and being more popular than him. Maybe making friends and realizing she could leave him.
He could easily have created a fake email or two and complained to the company. I honestly can’t believe any TM fans would care enough to have ruined this for her. Even if they hate her.
Thoughts?

Just wanted to post again for newcomers
Habe eben das Kind von der Schule abgeholt und fahre über die Landstraße, als ich am Straßenrand einen Wagen sehe. Daneben steht ein dunkel gekleideter Mann. Keine anderen Autos, keine anderen Menschen zu sehen, kein Warnblinker, kein Warndreieck. Es ist neblig, die Stimmung ein wenig gruselig. Ich werde also langsamer und sehe, dass das Auto ziemlich heruntergekommen ist. Ebenso die Kleidung des Mannes. Kennzeichen aus Rumänien.
Normal sollte sein, dass man anhält und fragt, ob Hilfe gebraucht wird. Natürlich erwische ich mich dabei, dass ich aufgrund des Kennzeichens und des Erscheinungsbildes erst Vorurteile habe. Nach dem Motto: "Der will mich ausrauben", "Der bettelt sicherlich um Geld" oder, dass das alles einen irgendwie anderen Haken hat. Instinktiv wittert man erst "Gefahr!", obwohl es kein offensichtliches Anzeichen dafür gibt. Natürlich sind die Bedenken noch größer, da das Kind auf dem Beifahrersitz sitzt.
Ich halte also neben ihm an, er ist schon wild am winken und gestikulieren. Die Tür ist verschlossen, das Fenster zu. Ich schaue zuerst auf das Auto und sehe, dass hinten eine Frau sitzt. Vorne sitzt ein junges Kind. Um die 6 Jahre alt.
Nun gut, das gibt mir - warum auch immer - ein wenig Sicherheit. Ich lasse den Gang drin, die Tür verschlossen und öffne das Fenster einen kleinen Spalt. Er fragt direkt, ob ich englisch spreche und erzält eine Geschichte, die ich nur so halb verstehe. Frau/Kind krank, Tank leer, er hat kein Geld. Er fragt direkt, ob ich Bargeld habe und es ihm geben kann, damit er tanken kann. Als Gegenleistung bietet er mir seine Uhr und seinen Pass an. Das sagt er zumindest.
Ich erwidere, dass ich kein Bargeld dabei habe. Gebe ihm aber noch den Hinweis, dass 700m weiter eine Tankstelle und ein Supermarkt ist. Da kann er doch erstmal hinlaufen und alles dort klären bzw. nach Hilfe suchen. Ich biete ihm sogar noch an einen Kanister von der Tanke zu besorgen. Das lehnt er ab. Keine Ahnung, ob er es nicht verstanden hat oder nicht wollte. Auf jeden Fall redet er was von Weihnachten, Gott, Danke sowie Geld. Er wirft mir einen Kuss zu und dreht sich weg, da er von mir wohl kein Bargeld bekommt.
Ist das eine bekannte Masche? Hätte ich anders reagieren sollen? Man liest, dass es Menschen gibt, die auf Rastplätzen mit irgendwelchen Ausreden billigsten Schmuck verkaufen, um so Geld für Reise/Sprit und Co. zu bekommen. Garniert mit traurigen Geschichten. Ist das wohl auch hier so ein Fall gewesen? Stutzig macht mich die Tatsa
... keep reading on reddit ➡I was paired with /u/David_Mann for his verification trade.
With all trades, we discussed our likes and what we’ve smoked. We decided on a four stick trade and he didn’t disappoint. Even crazier is that two of these sticks, I was planning on purchasing within the next few days. I have yet to try them.

Illusione Cigares Prive Maduro – I smoked this stick, in the natural, a few days ago. I absolutely loved it. I’m a huge Illusione fan (Love of the MJ12) I can’t wait to try this Maduro wrapper.
David, thanks so much for the cigars. You hit my flavor profile right-on the spot. I’ll be getting your cigars out tomorrow.
