That's the joke. They've never gone high they've just given the Republicans their measurements so that the nooses fit properly.

Leto II???

IIRC DeJoy owns 2 or 3 competitors to USPS, so yeah.

I asked my maga father that, the only answer he could come with is the "Trump promised he wouldn't touch it". These people are pathetically brainwashed into believing that Trump is looking out for their interests and not his own self indulgent bullshit.

Entitlement is literally the term for social security and Medicare because those who've paid into them their whole lives are 100% entitled to receive payments from those programs.

The win is the diminishment of his economical power. Same goes for Amazon and Meta. Transitioning off of any dependence of those websites and services will empower us and remove these shitheads' influence.

Is THAT why the flavor is so different now??? I never knew! I used to love Sriracha but now it tastes synthetic and unpleasant.

Yeah I really highly doubt any MAGAts out there are going to pony up to buy an electric car. LoL, Musk torched the base of people who were buying his dumb cars and now he's paying for it.

The all-too-slow decline of TSLA stock value is a daily source of joy for me.

P.S. I'm also going to have a glass of wine in celebration when Bill Gates cashes in his short.

I've developed a theory. I think the person who put the "don't be evil" line in the mission statement for Google put it there with a clever reason. Not simply to say to the company "don't be evil" but so that we the consumers will know that, on the day they remove the line they will have become truly evil and that we should abandon the company and it's products with all due haste.

Yes, the more they lose the more we win.

PERSONAL AUSTERITY!!!! SAVE YOUR MONEY AND LET THE RICH GO FUCK THEMSELVES!!!

Pink Flood doesn't ruin them

Punk Floyd, however... Those who know, know.

Microwave towers? They don't bridge enormous distances but can bypass areas that it would be inadvisable to lay cable

I think it stands for mindlessly Lenninist.

Just imagine if something deadlier than the covid virus infiltrated this country. And somebody developed a vaccine for it and these idiots wouldn't take it.

Oh wait, has anybody heard about what's happening in the Congo lately? 😒

I agree with the principal of personal boycotts, though not effective in doing anything to affect the companies that you are boycotting, are necessary. But OP is right. For instance I have been boycotting Chick-fil-A for the last 10 years because I don't agree with their homophobic attitude. But it has zero effect on their bottom line because no one else boycotts them or even cares. I think the kesson is that you should not expect any kind of real outcome from your personal boycott of a company. You should just be satisfied that you are not personally supporting that company.

Yeah reddit's days are pretty numbered at this point. This shit is ridiculous.

He'll still retain his shares. Which is the source of his wealth.

For my money I'm going to throw a goddamn party if this cursed stock hits double digits.

This guy's actual problem isn't that his property taxes have gone way up. His problem is that his income, that is say social security, has not kept pace with the inflated cost of property taxes. And of course it hasn't kept up with any of the other inflationary costs we are dealing with today as well. And this is something that has hit everyone else because the average wage has not kept up with inflation either.

Has nothing to do with "uprooting families". Average American families are not the ones grossly overestimating the values of their property. It's people like Trump who use overestimated values on their properties in order to hide money and grift people into paying him more than properties are actually worth. And then readjusting to actual values, or lower, in order to dodge taxes.

Edit: my reply was not an endorsement of OP's property assessment plan. I was only speaking to our frustration with the rich who hoard wealth in the form of land and use overinflated valuations of their property to increase their wealth at the expense of everyone else. And even though OP's idea is flawed there is merit in the idea of altering the way property value is determined.

I don't need to care. I stopped using Google search months ago.
