Ryan, writing in a $500-you-pay-no-matter-what-to-fix-it gotcha policy into your lease is slimy, no matter how much you protest you're not that guy.

Wish I could stand outside these hotels conference rooms and protest haha.

Check your state laws.In Michigan, the landlord is supposed to file a small claims case if they want to keep the security deposit over tenant protests.

Fortunately in NYC, I protested, and they adjusted the water bill if you can show it was fixed by a plumber, and its not a frequent occurrence.Then, I noticed a minor leak in our toilet a few mounts ago.

No real complaints overall though except for property taxes which one should protest every single year.

Have you ever heard the phrase "Thou doth protest too much" meaning that she is trying hard to project one reality because she doesn't want people to know what the truth is.

Raleigh is also the home of the Hurricanes and the Wolfpack, and hosts a variety of sports events, music festivals, rallies, and protests. 

We can't do much about taxes except protest but came no change in 2023. 

The one thing everyone must do is protest their taxes.

"pure speculation" yes, I am sure all of Europe would have been content to sit, unarmed, next to the likes of Stalin with tens of millions of men in the Red Army and the Atomic Bomb.This theory is easily disproved by the fact that even with the US as an umbrella the English and especially the French spent significant amounts on their own weapons programmes out of a fear we might abandon them.As to Stalin being interested in buffer states only, that is quite simply wrong.
