Local property taxes are a way to assess your share of tax burden based on something approximating your share of enjoyment of what's provided by those tax dollars. I.e., by owning property somewhere, you benefit from that location's fire fighters, police, roads, etc. Investment in a foreign property would have nothing to do with consumption of local government services/infrastructure.

Sharing amazing shots like this is why so many of us can relax and enjoy the experience without being distracted by our phone cameras. Thanks!

I think this would be about their behavior. It's not "we wouldn't hire a man," it's "hey, showing up to an event that wasn't intended for you is a bit of a red flag."

I'm nowhere near an expert, but this seems like a great example of using light. I still see details in the shadows and in the highlights, and yet there's still enough contrast to make me feel the warm sunlight coming through the cold surroundings. The textures in the snow and trees put me in the environment and make me feel the air and hear the gentle quiet sounds of leaves and breezes and distant animals. I don't know if this really is a great photo or whether I'm just fooled by it, but I particularly love this one.

Some evangelical pastors who regularly deliver sermons in support of school prayer have recently added a new twist — preaching that Christian traditions are needed in classrooms to stop children from identifying as transgender.

Or, in other words, without cult brainwashing, people might enjoy more freedom to be themselves.

Glad I came back to read this one after passing over it earlier.
