Damn I had to look this up. This unaired SNL skit was supposed to air in 2013 but was cut.

It’s accurately making fun of all the congressmen that trip over themselves to support Israel.

It would be pretty funny if it wasn’t so sadly accurate.

Economists like property taxes for the same reason people generally dislike them. They’re unavoidable, and the reason there is no dead weight loss is because they’re unavoidable. Never heard them described this way, but that’s how it it

one of the longest-running jokes on the left is that real marxists read the Financial Times. historical materialism has never been so vindicated

I for one am shocked that the market isn’t responding better to 16th century mercantilist trade policies.

If you've got an Android, Google's SafetyCore may have been silently installed. It scans your image library without explicit consent. Not cool. Here's how to disable it:

the fact that this image is from this year serves as a somewhat encouraging reminder that the passage of time is actually much slower than you think it is.

Schools, police, infrastructure, parks, and firefighters come from property taxes.

Oh my God

It was Generation Lead, AGAIN

I cannot stress this enough. There was NO opposition campaign to this one.

Not like “oh yeah there was a no on 6 committee and they had one or two lawn signs in California City but mostly didn’t bother running ads.”

But like, there was not an opposition campaign at all.

Have a friend like this. Parents worth closer to 20M. They live alone in giant house in fla, angry at the world most of the time. Kids are responsible & work hard, not rich. Truly strange phenomenon. Don't have a father so hard to relate, but seems weird to not level up your kids

Once upon a time, everyone was worried about a recession. But then, nothing ever happened. The End

I love the reporting around Texas High speed rail, because it's basically this.
