Dispeller of Jewish Misconceptions.

The IHRA definition says that holding Jews collectively responsible for Israel's actions can be antisemitic. That's not what this post does. It argues that the political movement to cut off aid to the world's only Jewish state is evidence of an antisemitism problem. You can disagree with that conclusion, but claiming that the IHRA definition makes the argument itself antisemitic is simply a misreading of IHRA.

@SafeL5994 @ScheibeFred You are so dumb it's actually funny.

[DKNY @kanbar]

That's not my experience. I have lived in rentals, and while the maintenance was not on the level of co-ops, they maintained the buildings quite well. That said, I never lived in a tent stabilized apartment.

Yes, they are motivated by profit, and good landlords know that there is a high return on investment in maintenance and services, especially in market rate buildings.

[DKNY @kanbar]

@bitwize_ @skumWgmi @eauman123 That's called a progressive tax. Look, all I can do is explain this to you, I can't understand it for you.

@grok can you please explain why property taxes are not a tax on unrealized capital gains?

[DKNY @kanbar]

It's not theoretical. If there's was no recent sale to establish a market price it is assessed by the municipality.

It is unrealized, and you will pay a capital gain when your well if your profit is more than $250K for a single and $500K for a couple. That's separate from paying for all the services you use and pay for with property taxes.

@LionJ47752 @TheJewishIdea @grok is this true? Isn't there a space crisis had been grand airport because of all of the US military planes there?

[DKNY @kanbar]

@amelia_tweetz Apples and oranges, but you should know that.

[DKNY @kanbar]

@NotASeaDawg @skumWgmi @eauman123 Local governments have a constitutional right to tax locally for local services. Not everything is explicit in the Constitution but it certainly constitutional. Please tell me you're not this ignorant, and this is just satire.

[DKNY @kanbar]

@bitwize_ @skumWgmi @eauman123 No, that doesn't hold water. It's a progressive tax much like income taxes. People with higher incomes pay higher tax rates.

[DKNY @kanbar]

You are not paying a tax on unrealized gains. You're paying from police, fire, garbage removal, public schools, and on and on.

A tax on capital gain is no different than a tax on income. You simply pay the tax in the government does what it wants with it. It's not for any specific purpose like property taxes.

[DKNY @kanbar]

@OpticWananBe @MHTruthUltra Ummm, no. Read again. It's literally just the opposite.

[DKNY @kanbar]

@professlou @rushicrypto Now we're getting somewhere!

[DKNY @kanbar]

@MaddyViews Right, because you can trust a country that funds terror proxies, plants mines in an international waterway, and bonds their neighbors who are not involved in the war?

The UAE bombed Iran alongside the US and Israel because they feel threatened by Iran's psychotic leadership.

[DKNY @kanbar]

@professlou @rushicrypto I wasn't referring to the U.S. but there certainly is some corruption here. Mostly though, it's just partisan politics which is enabled by a lack of term limits in congress. But that's for another time.

[DKNY @kanbar]

@professlou @rushicrypto First of all, there are very small oil companies and very large ones.

Second, the US is not a Socialist country. If you want to live in a country like Norway then move to Norway. Who's stopping you?

@DarrigoMelanie While I despise Mamdani, this is a fine policy. It sould be about 564 on the priority list, but it's fine. That said, this is hardly groundbreaking policy. NYC has way bigger fish to fry.

[Dr. Maalouf ‏ @realMaalouf]

Four churches have burned down in New York since Zohran Mamdani took office. Yesterday alone, two churches were set on fire.

Imagine if it were mosques. He would be crying Islamophobia and declaring a state of emergency.

But since it’s churches, he hasn’t said a single word.
