That sucks. So, people that worked and EARNED the right to live somewhere nice with property to enjoy now have to watch their property values tank along with having riff raff move into their neighborhood. Yeah, great. Now, that nice suburban home that someone worked hard for to buy is next to subsidized rentals.
Zoning laws are great and people need to fight to keep them. The goal should be to get people to improve their financial position so they can afford to live in the burbs too.
More money being pissed away on Ukraine? Wow. That Zalensky guy must have photos of a naked Biden with some White House aide or whatever. This is a joke and a massive abuse of US taxpayer money. When does this end? How is the US benefitting from this? Oh, we aren’t at all. Hmmm. I wonder if there is something behind the scenes going on here? Like some other motive? I mean, it’s the Biden’s….. sort of a shady track record.
And don’t gimme a bunch of whataboutisms either. Don’t care. This Ukraine thing is a farce. Enough. We’re done.
No....taxing them doesnt get rid of them. Rich people have plenty of money to pay fees/fines/penalties. That being said, there is no reason for overly draconian measures either. This climate thing is a tad oversold. Sensible, affordable solutions that dont wreck our way of life can work. Nothing more than that.
You are correct about the wealthy but I’ve been pointing out for a while now that the wealthy also won’t have to suffer the massive inconveniences, high energy costs, lifestyle downgrades and all the other negatives of the climate change mitigation nonsense. So they fly around in jets, have mansions everywhere, yachts, helicopters, limousines and whatever else. But I’m supposed to drive a crappy electric car, live in stacked public housing, ride bikes, shut off or have limited AC usage, etc? Yeah, screw them.
This whole climate change thing is not a big seller and regular people arent falling for the BS. The ulterior motives here are strong. It’s about control, mostly.
Hmmm. Isnt there a fine line between free speech though and trying to protect kids? It’s clear that kids need some protecting. Take a look around. Lots of predatory content out there and plenty of weirdos looking to capitalize. This bill might not be the best way to do this but it would be nice to filter some of the filth on the internet and keep it away from the wrong audience.
Good. The entire country needs to get past the dumb belief that nuclear power is dangerous. We could solve a lot of energy issues with nuclear power but for some "reason" it gets a lot of resistance. Why? Are the windmill and solar companies scared that nuclear is way better than what they have to offer? Are politicians and others that stand to heavily profit from the usual green initiatives worried that they won’t be lining their pockets enough?
LOL. Banned on reddit is a badge of honor. It means you tweaked the underpants of the purple-haired admins by NOT shlepping up the left wing diatribe. :)
First off - that Texas. There are numerous states with way lower tax bills than Taxifornia. Secondly, I was replying to the comment that we ought to "make sure no more Republicans win any elections" or whatever it was. While Repugs have their own issues, the stuff coming out of democrats pie-holes these days is scary. But, we're off track. Fine.
We must assure that the hyper progressive democrats don’t take over so the whole country doesn’t end up like California. That’s the real scare here. Sorry but not everyone is buying what democrats are selling. People are feeling high tax, blue states for a reason. Those are the facts.
They are custom sewn for me by immigrant slaves. Didn’t you know that? Wow, another deep thinker on Lemmy. This is where some of the Reddit nut jobs escaped to, eh?
Wow, Paul Krugman is still employed? Terrific. Hmm, let’s see. The Climate change agenda is an "issue" because it reeks badly of ulterior motives. Like, control the 'little people" and burden them with obnoxious regulations, rules and whatever else while the wealthy just go on doing as they please. As soon as this gets brought up, the celebs and politicians scatter like ants being sprayed with raid. They fly around in jets, we can’t fly or have to fly like 5th class. No gas powered cars for us but they can have Ferrari collections. We have to live in stacked, crappy apartments while they party it up in their gated mansions. Sorry, not happening. As soon as they hand it all over in the name of climate we can talk. Mm Kay? Good.
Trust the science. Sure, Jan. Why not parade Fauci out there again? LOL.
Could not agree more. They over complicated weight loss and what you have to do so badly now. Keto, Shmeeto, No carb, All carb, fasting, starving, whatever. Just STOP. Exercise regularly & use like an 80/20 method where 80% of the time you eat quality, whole foods. Keep portions within reason. Splurge where applicable. Exercise often. There, DONE. And yes, you can even eat some sugar and it wont kill you, LOL.
Hes a true success story that drives the left crazy. Good for him. Sorry some people disagree with his politics and have no option but to attack him personally. I hope they get get over it.
But....they are a sanctuary? Thats what they want so they'll have to make room. Why dont all the people that support illegal immigration open **their **doors for these folks? Asking for a guy I once knew.
