You're the one who took what you heard as fact (you made a statement that said something happened that didn't with no indication that it was fiction or urban legend) without checking but okay, stranger on the internet. A dumbass forum comment like yours doesn't merit a literary analysis, get over yourself.

The lack of self-awareness is hilarious, so thanks for the chuckle. Some serious malding loser energy to take an offhand joke so damn personally.

I think you heard a fat joke and confused it with a fact.

I know, dude. It's an inside joke with a friend, if you care.

Either way, like under $2000 would have bought them the storage necessary to keep these backups on-site. They still would've needed another backup solution for redundancy purposes, but this wouldn't be the huge issue it seems to be now, where the data is sort of in limbo.

I'm not completely wrong, it's a joke! Isn't it funny how I got all of my facts incorrect? Upvotes, please!

I'm not convinced that landlords' collusion to fix the cost of rent is the "careful calculation" that you're describing. From my perspective, it's quite the easy choice for them to extract more money instead of less money.

I only potentially benefit from an overall market reduction in rent (which rarely occurs) if I move to a new apartment because they refuse to negotiate a lease renewal at a lower rate.
