California limits increases in property taxes to 2% for this reason. More generally, property owners vote at a high rate, so governments will usually be less aggressive in increasing property taxes. Of course, they still go up, but it'

Why would someone be interviewing while intoxicated? If they'll do that, doesn't bode well for on-the-job performance.

I dunno. This seems like a reasonable summary for a headline. Plus the research is actually looking at political orientation rather than how you vote. Having said that, I'm skeptical of these reinventions of phrenology.

Article notes that info transmission is roughly the same for all languages. I wonder if this is the case for all subgroups? Do New Yorkers convey information more quickly than Vermonters?
