BREAKING: The CEO of @Hertz wrote a letter to Puerto Rico‘s representative in Congress stating that Hertz has rewritten its policy to make it abundantly clear that Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory - not a foreign country - & because of that Puerto Rico driver’s licenses are not international IDs they are just as valid as any ID from any state in this union. This news follows the story I first reported last week, where a Puerto Rican man at the New Orleans international airport was denied a rental car because at least two Hertz workers said his license was international. On top of that, the man who recorded the incident, had the police called on him by a Hertz employee who said he can never rent from Hertz again because he recorded the incident. *She was wrong; he can rent from Hertz again*. The police officer who responded to the call was dismissive and rude and is now the subject of an internal investigation by his police department because the customer, Mr. Humberto Marchand, filed a complaint with the @KennerPolice. Following our report, Representative @Jenniffer wrote a letter to Hertz asking for a companywide educational campaign, and she got it.
Lastly: Puerto Ricans are United States citizens. Please share.
My sweet leftist babies, pitting the people who make $30k a year against the people who make $60k a year is what the people who make $600k a WEEK want.
Average rent in the US is currently about $1,700. For you to be "financially stable" aka not at heightened risk of homelessness, it's advised you make 3x your rent. That's $61,200/yr. That's the minimum we should ALL be making to be STABLE. So, no, 75k is not outrageous wealth.
how long are we going to accept that being stalked, harassed, sexualized, etc... is just "part of being a woman on the internet" and "what we signed up for"? when are we going to take the steps to change this? why is this normalized?
Imagine being a deployed service member and having to contact Netflix every seven days to ensure you can keep using a service that you already pay for because you’re not “home.”
