Bleeding heart people are always like this. They want to help...but from very very far away.

This seems interesting but I don't have time to read, can someone TLDR?

I'm fine with the contractors making money for a time frame with renewable contracts periodically by other companies. But the code my tax dollars paid for should be open source and the contract should be biddable periodically. An endle

Teacher shortage, construction worker shortage.... Meanwhile people are flocking to tech and finance and medical careers. This article acts like it's a giant mystery as to why this is the case.

I don't think I said killed one time. I said 'robbed' and 'sitting next to someone who has peed themselves'. Of which the chance is infinitely higher on mass transit than your own vehicle. Unless you date sketch peo

Hate to say it but homeless people and sketch people have ruined west coast cities mass transit for me. Im uncomfortable like 50% of the time riding San Fran, L.A., or San Diego mass transit. Riding Chicago mass transit is nice because the

I wouldn't move to Austin just in general. I would look at Louisville, Kentucky or Charleston or Baltimore or some other area.

This cost of living differential between the west coast and the rest of America is getting ridiculous. If you can leverage the overpriced west coast but live in low COL area somewhere else, good for you.

I'm not sure this is accurate about being less dangerous. It has the same poison as a black widow, just seems to inject less of it...in most cases... I would not recommend treating these spiders casually

Maybe in Australia where they had Covid camps, something like that could fly but I don't see that flying in America. they can't make it illegal to check GPS or look at a map or change the radio station and they can't prove yo

I talked to someone at a co-working space in Lafayette who was a member of a company there and they were working on a similar project. I can't for the life of me remember anything else about it though. Best wishes to you all with the s

There's no breathalyzer for smartphones though. They need some way to prove it.

Are y'all based out of Lafayette, Colorado by any chance?

Did you see this first hand or was it or just reading about it in the media??

I don't think you understand. feudalism. you should google it. feudalism is NOT owning your land because the government owns it and you pay them for the use of the land which is exactly what we have now.

I drink caffeine but I don't drink it after 2:00 p.m. and have really good dreams sometimes.

There's probably a lot of people out there who wouldn't consider what you just described as "rock bottom".

Exactly. You're a SERF to the government forever! People lose their house often to runaway property taxes. This should anger people more.

by nerdchum 4y ago
I completely agree. After you pay off the bank you STILL don't own the property thanks to the government who can take it away. a homeowner is merely a serf for the government property taxes.

no need for any rationalizations. think for yourself for a minute get down to the extreme basics. ownership means someone can't take your property. The only way to take someone's property unwillingly is with force/theft The g

agreed and it feels like redefining the word owner isn't helping identify the percentage of true homeowners. It's sort of obfuscates the whole thing.

by nerdchum 4y ago
none of that matters though to the true definition of ownership which is complete control over the object people.seem.to want to identify as an owner as it makes them feel good.

> economic advantages of real estate are a byproduct of regulatory capture This seems correct to me. I don't think it's been specifically designed to be a store of wealth.

Yes, seriously. I have never seen two to three percent property tax increases.

by nerdchum 4y ago
property tax is based on home value. people lose their homes all the time because the neighborhood gets gentrified and their home values go up and they can't afford the property tax. insurance can skyrocket based on natural disasters i

they could theoretically take you to court to get a judgment against you and take just about anything of yours. any debt you get in puts all of your assets at risk

very good points you're making. does one truly ever own their home? or does one always have someone who tells them what to do via zoning or property tax or mortgage?

in the first part you say you don't control the property because there's numerous things one can't do. them in the last paragraph you say that one doed control property? thesis does not seem cohesive to me
