Can the government help us or is it too late?

The insurrectionists still chanting 'Artie Sucks' tonight at the Big A. Thank you, shirtless heroes. You did it.
Let us consider all ramifications: If there are fewer bus trips, will freshman beatings decrease proportionately? And where will those beating be made up?
DIESEL AT $5.62 PER GALLON, SCHOOLS REDUCING ROUTES DUE TO PRICE INCREASES
RECORD PRICES AND STRESSED BUDGETS — The national average price of diesel has reached $5.62 per gallon, an increase of nearly $2 from last year (it was $3.70). The surge has put school districts, which operate approximately 480,000 buses, 90% of which are diesel-powered, under pressure.

Anyone old enough to remember settling in and watching "our program" after dinner with the family? Well now I'm that guy, and I'm watching the exact same thing. The original Hawaii five-o. Show me a better drama on TV.
Stumbled upon Alanis morissette in austin. The guitar player has like a mini Lego City on the stage. Asking is a dumb drummer, do these guys even know how to use all that equipment at their feet?
And he doesn't even know you don't get tacos from carts. Street Dogs maybe, but tacos come from trucks.

Elon Musk just proved that ownership in America is a legal fiction.
Musk: “You get taxed on what you earn, you get taxed on what you buy, and you get taxed on what you own.”
Think about what property tax actually means.
You worked for decades. Paid it off in full. The deed is in your name.
Stop paying the government its annual fee. Watch them take it and sell it to someone who will.
You never owned that house. You were leasing it from an entity you never signed a contract with.
Income tax tells the same truth in softer packaging.
The government does not take a portion of your earnings. They decide how much of your own labor you are permitted to keep.
That is not semantics. It is a confession of who the system believes your time belongs to first.
Sales tax buries itself in the receipt. Two people exchange value voluntarily. A third party who contributed nothing takes a cut simply for allowing it to happen.
Now stack all three.
Taxed when you create. Taxed when you spend. Taxed when you hold. Taxed again when you die and try to pass it to your children.
At no point in that cycle does the system recognize your output as yours.
Because money is not an abstraction. It is crystallized human lifespan.
Every dollar taxed is an hour you already lived, already bled for, already gone.
The state is not managing an economy. It is claiming dominion over time you will never get back.
And spending it on systems you never asked for and actively oppose.
The institution extracting all of it faces zero obligation to perform. A contractor who delivers nothing gets fired. A bureaucracy that burns through trillions gets a budget increase the next fiscal year.
SpaceX pays taxes to the agencies that obstruct its launches. Tesla funds the regulators drafting rules to shield its competitors.
The builders are not subsidizing government. They are financing their own friction.
The tax code is 74,000 pages long. Not because the economy demands it. Because the extraction had to be buried in enough complexity that you would stop asking who it was designed to protect.
The past belonged to the people who taxed the world.
The future belongs to the people who build it.

What you may or may not understand is if Tom ever killed Jerry, the cartoon would be over. Hence the non solutions prevalent at all levels of government.
I actually don’t care who’s LA Mayor. I just want to hire someone who is willing to bring on an adequate number of @LAPD for a city this size; properly equip the @LAFD; pick up the trash in the streets and on the freeways; get rid of all homeless encampments and put the mentally ill people who light fires, harass us at red lights, walk onto the freeways, etc into treatment; uphold existing laws and punish the increasing crime; fill potholes and file down the tire-popping ridges in the roads and freeways; shutdown and prosecute street take-overs that block traffic and scar the intersections; and stop “losing” billions of our tax dollars on various unfinished city projects.
It’s a very low bar.
@spencerpratt was the only person in this race who planned on doing something about any of it. I’d be fine if Bass as the @MayorOfLA had been interested in doing any of that the past 4 years. I’d be fine if @nithyavraman had gone in this direction during her years in City Council. But now it seems they want us to believe that most of the people in LA just love the city as the mess that it is, and in fact want the very people who made it this way to continue on and make it even worse.
Ok. I don’t believe you at all. But, I guess we’ll all get to watch you make a mess of the Olympics and any other event (natural or planned) that occurs here. It’s remarkable that competence is in such short supply.
It's drug addiction. Enforce municipal laws. Offer two choices in desert tent cities. Camp Hope for those who want help and Camp Desperation for those who do not. The former will provide all the tools to move forward. The latter includes free drugs and an 'Escape from NY' vibe.
