i have a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach that eventually the boomer property tax revolt will foment a reverse-polarity version in young people ("well then why should i keep paying Social Security taxes?") and the entire concept of cooperative public goods disintegrates

The reason it’s not that simple is that I don’t want my child’s life to depend on the presence of a good guy with a gun. In most of the developed world this isn’t an issue because… they ban guns.

The bourgeoisie of the whole world, which looks complacently upon the wholesale massacre after the battle, is convulsed by horror at the desecration of brick and mortar! - Karl Marx, The Civil War in France

"Yeah, Abdul. How would YOU get us out of this mess WE created? Any ideas? … No, seriously, I’m asking if you have any ideas. Because nobody in the White House has a friggin' clue."

Marco Rubio says "Nobody ordered that Starlink speed to slow down. It sorta happened"
Prosecute all of these liars. People got killed by Russia because of this.
"literally the first time I've heard of this"
as if dozens of troops haven't leaked how unprepared and unprotected our regional bases were once we started bombing Iran because we i) are protected by an incompetent SecDef in Hegseth and ii) underestimated Iran in our hubris
Vance is confronted by the emotional husband of a soldier killed in Iran War and acts like he had no idea anyone ever died:
Q: It's a hard price to pay. There's a failure in the leadership. How will the leadership be held accountable?
Vance: If there were failures... This is the first time I've heard of this.

When you retire, you don't suddenly stop benefiting from public goods like well-maintained roads, nice parks, thorough fire and police coverage, and yes, even quality schools.

Now ask him if it makes sense for young people to pay for his Social Security
“I’m old. I’ve paid my home off,” said Ray Warner, a 72-year-old Akron resident. “Why would I pay property tax?”

Matt Berry gives some serious Oliver Reed vibes and would be fun to see as a main protagonist or antagonist in films

The tax is in fact in place, but it is not collecting revenue until 2029. When it does, the money goes to the general fund. Repealing the tax means cuts to the general fund. K-12 schools and health care are the main expenditures of the general fund. So they’ll be cut.

YOU'RE NOT PAYING TAXES FOR THE PROPERTY, YOU'RE PAYING YOUR TOWN FOR THE SERVICES IT PROVIDES. THE ROADS, POLICE, SCHOOLS, FIRE DEPARTMENT, LIBRARY, SNOW PLOWS, EMERGENCY SERVICES AND SO MUCH MORE.

"Fuck parks and fuck libraries - sure my property taxes have supported these services which everyone enjoys for 35 years of homeownership, but now I'm older, so fuck everyone else"
"I didn't walk on public sidewalks for 5 days so I should get a taxes discount"

Fucking Auditorium #9 at AMC Pacific Place in Seattle
Many seats
Tiny screen
Second tier of seats is *very* far away
Seats haven't been upgraded since late 90s (older, small, uncomfortable, no reclining)
And they use it for popular films opening weekend! Shittttttty....
