The Ohio government is officially panicking over a massive grassroots movement to completely abolish property taxes.
Governor Mike DeWine just warned that eliminating the tax would devastate local schools and libraries, threatening that the state would have to jack up the sales tax to 20% just to cover the gap.
But Ohio homeowners are fighting back with one simple reality: If you can lose your fully paid-off house for not paying the government, you don't actually own it, you are just renting it.
The state already collects billions in income and regular sales taxes. Instead of threatening us with 20% sales tax rates, the government needs to figure out how to balance its own budget without holding our homes hostage.
@joshuaa2_@A2Fenix@WyattzWorId There’s going to be a generational gap of kids not being able to collect or play the way it’s suppose to be. It’s basically a whole separate ecosystem. They don’t play nice either. Best part is you can get this stuff usually cheaper on TCG after launch.
@elonmusk Hey can we fix the vague post epidemic that it going on all across X right now? Can @grok see that it’s click bait and not reward them for being such a dirt bag poster?
Now that politics has touched every aspect of life there's only one thing that remains pure. Untouched. Untainted by time or ideology. One bastion of sanity. One final refuge.
California's Central Valley produces 80% of the world's almonds. Each almond requires 3.2 gallons of actual irrigation water to grow. Not rainfall. Actual tap water pumped from aquifers.
One gallon of almond milk requires 162 gallons of irrigation water. Compare that to dairy milk at 8 gallons of tap water per gallon, with the rest being rainfall that falls on pasture anyway.
But here's where it gets properly grim. Almonds bloom for exactly three weeks in February. During those three weeks, California needs every pollinating bee in North America transported to the Central Valley or the crop fails entirely.
Commercial beekeepers truck in 31 billion honeybees. That's two-thirds of America's entire managed bee population, all concentrated in one valley for three weeks. The bees are packed into trucks, driven across the country, dumped into almond groves drenched in pesticides, worked to exhaustion, then packed up and shipped to the next crop.
The mortality rate is catastrophic. Beekeepers report losing 30 to 50% of their hives annually. That's billions of bees dead. Not from natural causes. From being used as disposable pollination machines for your almond milk.
The pesticides don't help. Almond groves are sprayed with neonicotinoids which scramble bee navigation systems, fungicides which weaken their immune systems, and herbicides which eliminate the wildflowers they'd normally forage on between almond blooms.
Meanwhile the aquifer depletion is permanent. The Central Valley has sunk 28 feet in some areas from groundwater extraction. That water took 10,000 years to accumulate. It's being drained in decades for almond milk.
Your vegan latte killed more bees and used more water than a year's worth of dairy milk. But it's got "plant-based" on the label so you're definitely saving the planet.
@sant_cost@Steve15884462@F1GuyDan I just can’t… Some things are better left untouched. I’ll let you know if it’s better after the first few races. Im excited to see some competition again but how many seasons until it’s a DRS train season again?
@sant_cost@Steve15884462@F1GuyDan They sound like I’m gargling mouth wash with a microphone shoved in my mouth. You’re right it sounds like waa waa just like the whiny drivers too.
