Pandemic-era eviction postponements and federal assistance programs have expired, leaving renters vulnerable to the eviction filings that have dramatically increased nationwide. As wages can’t keep up with higher housing prices, landlords make the ultimate decision on whether to evict, oftentimes at a human cost. NBC News’ Valerie Castro reports.

    I was going to just write that but apparently it’s a stock meme on Google keyboard. Yeah we’re fucked.

      Average economy going up. Median economy going down. Inequality confirmed.

      It’s hard to figure out the criteria for it suggesting a sticker but it’s definitely just using your text in a template.

        I think it’s supposed to be common phrases. For example there’s a lot of Happy X but no Orphan Machine or “Great Game”.

        Sync, but it’s possible on the web app for lemmy.world as well. Just hit the little image button. As proof I offer this standard issue cat uploaded on lemmy.world’s site.

              I’m not convinced this is working. You should post more cat pictures to test.

                How about this one? I’m meeting this cute guy for potential adoption this week.

                  More than acceptable! I hope the meeting goes well and you get adopted.

                    We’ll see! Last time I adopted a cat I intended to get a kitten but immediately soul bonded with an older tomcat at the shelter. He’s incredible and I want to get him a companion.

                    I trust cats to choose the person they go home with, so we’ll see if any click when I visit this weekend.

                  Nah I swear I am just not seeing any cute af cat photos. Maybe y’all need to try again and just post some different really cute cats? I think it would be really helpful to lemmy devs to pursue this bug and figure it out, you know do more research kind of thing.
