A new survey from Norway reveals that 50% of young people under 30 believe that pirating content is an acceptable way to save money. The survey, conducted by Ipsos, highlights that the high cost of streaming services is a key driver behind this attitude. Links between piracy and organized crime or malware, appear to be of less concern.

Oh, I'm familiar with hoarders. Grandma is floor to ceiling; shed, two car garage, basement, both floors. I think the family plan is to let the city/bank deal with it when she goes. We won't go inside.

I totally agree it's a job best done by someone without any emotional ties.

I also realize that "the bank/the city" means "some secondary cleaning contractor" which means "some probably-undocumented immigrants," i.e. another vital service which could be impacted by the Trump Purge.
