Baby boomers are awful. They were given everything by their parents and their generation, who paid property taxes for the boomers to go to school. Now they don’t want to do the same, while wanting to increase FICA taxes to pay for their benefits.

“I’m old. I’ve paid my home off,” said Ray Warner, a 72-year-old Akron resident. “Why would I pay property tax?” Across the country, homeowners are asking the same question and revolting against property taxes at a scale not seen in a half century. politico.com/news/magazine/2…

Do You Really Own Your Home? A Tax Revolt Says No.

The argument that property taxes make Americans renters in their own houses has fueled the biggest anti-tax uprising in half a century, and local governments are scrambling.

Wait wait wait…you’re telling me another state is actually allowing the harvesting of resources from under the ground? Does Minnesota know about this?!! yahoo.com/news/science/artic…

Michigan invests $7.5M to find out if it’s sitting on a clean energy gold mine

The funding will go toward researching geologic hydrogen, a carbon-free energy source buried beneath the state that could clean up heavy-emitting industries like transportation.

LeBron James is reportedly a long-time fan of Anthony Edwards, per @JonKrawczynski “He has long been a fan of Anthony Edwards. Coming to Minnesota to end a long championship drought would make an even stronger argument for GOAT status.” (h/t @Sleeper_Hoops)

Microsoft has filed suit in the MN Tax Court. While many won’t pay attention to it, the potential (I’d say likely) impact is an instant tax refund that will reach into the multiple billions. #mnleg

And after all the hours and hours spent during all levels of endorsing, we are still going to a primary. How everyone doesn’t see this process as pointless is beyond me.

Psyche-16 is metal-rich asteroid and might contain gold and rare metals worth over 700 quintillion dollars — enough to make every human on Earth a billionaire (mathematically). A NASA spacecraft is currently speeding towards this rare metal-rich asteroid.
