How are you holding up? It seemed like everything was trending back toward normal coming out of quarantine and now things have taken a turn in a different direction. What are you doing to cope? If you’re unemployed are you having any luck finding jobs right now? Are people interviewing? What can we do to help you? Hang in there, friends!
Sisolak provides fuhrer guidance on evictions and extends the eviction moratorium until June 30. Tenants get money in the bank. Landlords get hits to their credit rating, as no money comes in for the third or fourth month, and they have no ability to get new, paying tenants. But Sisolak does not care.
Sisolack is a huge failure. He saddled us with $750,000,000 in debt for the stadium. The default is coming.
He's cow-towing to his blue leaders, he refuses to impose reasonable curfew 8pm and now a police officer is in a hospital bed and another citizen is dead. He refuses to call out the national guard to Las Vegas. How many more will die? How many more businesses will be destroyed? How many buildings will burn?
He's failing the unemployed. They STILL don't have PUA.
Last one out of Nevada don't forget to turn out the lights. Sisolak will be long gone by then, probably on a beach in CALI.
I've always assumed the stadium bonds would go into default and/or that property taxes would be raised to pay for the stadium bonds. I never imagined the possibility that it might happen so quickly. Sisolak was the main driver for that. It was hard to watch. Stadium subsidies never pan out economically, and we went gung-ho into the biggest public subsidy in history. It's amazing that it received no substantive resistance from any politician in any party. There are plenty to blame, but none more than Sisolak.

Not gonna lie… I think this year is starting to take a toll on my emotional health. I've held it together for the most part, but all this uncertainty is eating me up. I was laid off in April and haven't found a job yet. Now these protests and riots and lack of national leadership are very disheartening. Not to mention other personal issues that are going on right now. I'm getting up every day and living, but not sure what to do next. There are only so many jobs to even apply to right now. Unemployment finally approved my claims 2 weeks ago, so I got that going for me, but even getting the maximum, it is less than 1/5 of my net salary. I have, for the most part, resisted turning to any substances to get through this. But this fucking year is not making it any easier.
I can relate. Luckily I'm still employed, but my billables are really low these days and I don't even care. I was just on the verge of getting motivated and then all hell broke loose these last 8 days.
I'm fairly certain there's going to be a large second wave of corona because no one is social distancing at these protests/riots. That second wave is likely to be more devastating than the first wave because most people don't realize how many lives were saved by social distancing during the first wave. Most will justify not social distancing in the second wave because they don't know anyone that died, got sick, etc during the first wave, so it didn't affect them.
Health, wealth, peace, etc. is deteriorating quickly. The social fabric of society is unraveling thread by thread.
I honestly don't even care about much these days.

As others have already said, it is hard, but you can be strong because even when it feels hopeless there are people who love you and things will get better.
One thing you might try is volunteering. I know it's really hard to get motivated to go do it, and it's awkward and weird (and I'm a super introvert, so it was really hard), but I've found that it helps in so many ways. Gives you something to do, boosts satisfaction, and can even help make connections. No guarantees those connections will lead to a new / better job, but they never hurt.
11:03, There really isn't much I can say other than the usual platitudes, but it will get better. I'm sorry that you're struggling. I don't know who you are, but I promise that you are loved and people care about how you are doing. I too am very tired of this year, the political mess and the hate. Be strong.

I am a landlord. My tenant lost his/her job late last year, and then finally found a job only to lose it as the employer shut down due to the virus. I have not been paid the full amount of rent since September of 2019. I was understanding and working with the tenant. Now, I haven’t heard squat about getting any money. I guess I am now the government welfare department. I still have to pay HOA fees, landscaping maintenance, property taxes, and hope that I don’t end up with utility liens on my property. It is not my responsibility to support another person who is not related to me, but I am. In the meantime, my tenant (who is not a bad person by any stretch of the imagination) gets to live off of my hard earned money and investment. Yes, I am miffed and believe I have the right to be.
Why should being a landlord be the only risk free investment? You can always sell your property. The worst that can happen to you is losing a place you don't live. Tenants will be losing their homes once evictions begin. There is a difference.
You have a right to be miffed, but comparing yourself to "the government welfare department" might be a bit much. Yes, the situation sucks (your tenant didn't want to lose his/her job, just like you didn't want to have to cover all the costs associated with the property without the benefit of any rent coming in), but property ownership is not without risk. I'd like to see the next (which they say will be the last) bailout focus on the landlords who haven't been getting paid through all of this. Doing so would also help control the number of evictions and foreclosures likely to follow the lifting of the foreclosure/eviction bars (I doubt many of the borrowers or tenants are going to be in a position to make up the missed payments in the months to come).
10 months without rent? You have every right to be miffed and to believe that no good deed goes unpunished. Property ownership/ landlording is not without risk but it also should not be without remedy. 10 months paying the tab for someone to live for free is your house is nothing to sneeze at. No one is giving people free cars or free food at Smiths (Hey just pay for these groceries next year). This situation should be no different.
The old adage "No good deed goes unpunished" comes to mind here. You were doing a good thing by working with them when the tenant lost his/her job last year. Had you not done that, you would have evicted him and would have had a new tenant that hopefully would have had a job and been able to pay you.
It is almost as if karma punished you for doing good instead of vice versa.
@12:38
Idiot. The value of a rental property is in the income it produces. No income, no maintenance and the value slides negative very quickly. The lost revenue cannot be recovered and delinquent mortgage payments cannot be made up by even a good revenue stream.
Yeah, you have missed the point. A landlord is stuck because of the stoppage of evictions. That is what the Sisolak edict was about that started this discussion. Get the wax out of your ears, I mean the red out of your eyes, or the pot out of your mouth. Working with somebody is not a bad thing when there is money coming in, but once the Covid-19 picked up steam, the government decided that landlords were stuck with no income. Tenants are using that to their advantage; hence the very first post of the day at 10:19 that tenants get money in the bank because landlords are footing the bill. Name calling is not necessary to make a point, but that is probably what you were taught by your family.

Let’s continue the conversation from yesterday. Did anybody think that the NJDC will not take any action because one of its own is party of the “slate” mailers? That would be Karl Armstrong. God forbid the NJDC admit it does anything contrary to the law. Remember the interrogatories pre formal statement of charges. Remember the letter that Deyhle sent out saying that the interrogatories had to be signed under oath or face default. That smacks of coercion.
It is also interesting that Karl Armstrong also failed to timely file his first quarter C&E report. It was due April 15th, but not filed until May 26th. That invokes confidence in the people that want to be judges and those people that are appointed by the BOG/State Bar to be the attorney members on the NJDC.
Karl Armstrong should be self-reporting, and should immediately be removed from the NJDC. A person that cannot comply with the easiest of mandates, and one that is spelled out in candidate packets, should not be judging or policing sitting judges. In other words, do what I say and not what I do, is that what its all about Karl and NJDC?
I won't be voting for Armstrong and have said so to those who ask. Why vote for anyone who doesn't understand even the most basic due process: you don't propound interrogs until a complaint has been filed (which the NSC held following Tobiasson's appeal).
12:01 and 12:32–I couldn't agree more with the concerns about interrogatories being served pre-complaint.
But to make it sound like that was illegal, and that Armstrong and the others knew it was improper and were just seeing how far they could push the envelope, is not really accurate.
The hard truth is, and as absurdly unfair and seemingly violative of basic due process that this may be, the rules allowed that.
I do believe there was a challenge to that procedure, but I don't know if a decision was ever arrived at. Did we in fact receive an appellate decision on that?
This procedure is every bit as odious as the posters say it is. But it was permitted. I hope that is not still the case.
Oh, hell. Is he currently on Nevada Judicial Discipline? Fuck no, I am not voting for him

Does anyone know how to take care of a traffic ticket with Las Vegas Justice Court now that there is no Friends and Family day? I nave a ticket of my own that I need to take care of.
Contact Craig Kenny. His firm is still working, and they deal in traffic tickets all the time. I am sure somebody in his firm can answer your question or assist.

Friend at 11:03. I understand your pain. I might suggest you try one of the mindfulness apps. I downloaded Headspace, and I find it is helping. It is being offered for free to those who are unemployed. There are also others that are currently free as well. I like Headspace because the voices are Aussie. Who doesn’t dig an Aussie accent? Hang in there. At least you have a good education and skills, please believe you are blessed with that, and you will find a place in the new LV or where you decide to live.

I can't speak to issues concerning Mr. Armstrong, but as to the "slating" issues discussed yesterday, posters pointed out that although it is not a violation for political organizations to send out mailers recommending a slate of candidates, that it is not permissible for the individual candidates to send out mailers boasting support from republican or democrat groups.
But what we are seeing is a disturbing hybrid of the two, intended to skirt the rules. For example, the content of the mailers prominently present that it is being sent by the political party or organization, and then lists the recommended candidates.
However, in the much smaller print, as to who paid for the mailer, it will not say paid for by that organization, but will instead indicate it is paid for by the various candidates who are endorsed(e.g. "Paid for Candidates X, Y and Z", who happen to be the endorsed candidates on the mailer).
And most, if not all, of the mailers that have resulted in the complaints, followed this approach.
Other states have Rules that provide “slate” mailers can be sent as long as they are all-inclusive. That means that all endorsed individuals must be listed and not just those that employ Dave Thomas. There has to be a COA against Thomas? Anybody want to take that on?

Administrative Order 20-17 was issued today and states that the tolling of discovery deadlines ends on July 1st. My understanding from prior admin orders is that any discovery that was tolled would be due 30 days after the tolling ends. Is that correct or would discovery be due on July 1st?
The tolled period is from March 18 to July 1. It's like time during that period did not exist. So if you got served with discovery during that time period, your response is due July 31. If you were served March 17, your response is due July 30

The peaceful protesting has been fruitful, with a message of solidarity being sent. Once curfew hits, the gathering is required to disburse. If the heartfelt protesters would leave at curfew, they could come back the next day and continue in their message sending efforts. But too many don't leave at curfew. They stick around to see (and film) something spectacular happen, like mayhem. But mayhem does not support their cause, it drowns it out. Those on the streets after curfew need to be dealt with as people that are choosing to commit a crime…the violation of curfew. They need to get off of the streets at that time. That way the band of violent gypsies that have come out to commit felonies can be have their bad behavior handled appropriately, separate and apart from the peaceful protest that happened earlier. It's not that difficult.
Ironic that people who are peacefully protesting police violence against petty crimes are being met with police violence in response to the petty crime of violating an administrative curfew. Last night LVMPD got it right and patrolled without instigating violence. Voila! No violence.
5:58 "the band of violent gypsies that have come out to commit felonies" At least your racist comment is directed at a new race, I was getting tired of black and brown people taking all the heat.
