This is a bit of a miss characterization though, because property taxes are typically set by dividing the local government budget over the total value of all properties within the municipality. If your house value went from 200k to 500k while you owned it, so did everyone else’s in the town, so your “share” of the municipal budget is the same. If the tax base grows by adding commercial/industrial property that doesn’t draw on services, but pays tax, your share goes down.

@GavMcCracken @chigrl The crux of the property taxes issue is ontological, what does ownership mean if you never stop paying rent to the government. Not to mention it becomes a tax on unrealized gains over time. You buy a house for 200K 20 years ago and pay taxes on a house worth 500K today, not ideal

@GovSherrillNJ The tickets are free?

To Recap: Our Administration inherited an agreement where FIFA contributes $0 toward transportation for the World Cup – while also eliminating parking at MetLife Stadium. Except for premium parking, where FIFA is charging over $200 per spot. As a result, NJ TRANSIT must carry four times the usual ridership for events at the venue, at a cost of $48 million. New Jerseyans shouldn’t be stuck with that bill while FIFA makes $11 billion in profits.

@SenWarren They wrote down their taxable corporate income with depreciation on assets most likely. Stop rate bating people and actually do something productive.

If you paid even a penny in federal income tax last year, you paid more than: Tesla Southwest Disney Live Nation HP United PayPal CVS Health Palantir Citigroup PG&E 3M That's right. They paid $0 in federal income tax. It's time for big corporations to pay their fair share.

@theisabelb The chart does say economic left and right as opposed to cultural left and right. You can be a capitalist and still be culturally and socials very left.

Teenagers are sharing photos of their AP U.S. Government textbooks, and the sheer amount of indoctrination is wildly disturbing. Apparently, Barack Obama is ideologically a right wing authoritarian. Hillary Clinton and George W Bush are entirely indistinguishable politically. Donald Trump is of course virtually the same as Hitler. @tedcruz is apparently more radically authoritarian than Fidel Castro AND Joseph Stalin..??!!?? @Linda_McMahon — can we expedite some major changes to American public education?

@phdcornbread @elonmusk The grid fins aren’t what carry the weight on the tower. If you look closely there are two little arm that stick out that the tower catches. we

@elonmusk I'm still mystified how this even works. It appears that all of the weight is being transferred to those flaps at the top. What are they even made out of?

Next flight of Starship and first flight of V3 ship & booster is 4 to 6 weeks away

@Osint613 Do you see the community note?

@angertab @prestonstew_ what do you think of this after your recent video?

The evidence is clear, this is not a Tomahawk Iran alleged that an American Tomahawk Cruise Missile hit a school (buried in an IRGC compound) in southern Iran, killing 165 people. Analysis of a newly released video tells a different story. ANALYSIS: A-I analysis confirms the wings of the munition in question sit about 40%-45% down the body of the munition. On a Tomahawk, the wings sit roughly 49%-50% down the body of the munition. The wing to body ratio of the munition in question matches an Iranian Kh-55–derived Land Attack Cruise Missile. Further, the video shows the munition in a steep dive angle for the final attack phase. This places the attack angle at approximately 70%, which is the max attack angle for a Tomahawk. The attack angle does not match the KH-55. That angle maxes out at about 55 degrees. So what would have caused this? CONCLUSION: The wing positioning alone makes the munition impossible to be a Tomahawk. The attack angle is at the max of the Tomahawk's capabilities. The typical attack angle for a Tomahawk is much lower than 70 degrees. The typical angle is between 20-45 degrees. This is due to the flight pattern of Tomahawks. They fly very low horizontally to the ground, often only 50-100 meters AGL to avoid detection and interception. In order to achieve that attack angle, the missile would have had to gain altitude several kilometers away, this would leave it vulnerable for interception. This is highly unlikely on the first day of US attacks. So what could have caused this? Simply put, GPS jamming of an Iranian KH-55. The USA and Israel were, and continue to actively jam the Iranian airspace. If the KH-55's signal was jammed, this could result in an uncontrollable dive. Think of GPS jamming more like disorienting the missile. On 03/07 President Trump stated: “No, in my opinion, based on what I’ve seen, that was done by Iran.” Today, I concur with the President.

@thatdayin1992 @HLC_actual true?

The US has 8 THAAD systems worldwide. Each worth $300 million. Iran took out 4 of them in one week. Let that sink in.

@Osint613 As much as I want to be on the side of the agents as someone who generally supports law enforcement, this looks like a bad shoot. Am I missing something or did the agents just approach him while he stood on the sidewalk and attack him?

We have shared several angles from the shooting today which killed 37-year-old Alex Jeffrey Pretti in Minneapolis, Minnesota. As we know, we believe this is the clearest angle we have of the incident. Here is the video:

Is grok down? Not working for me at the moment!

Checked in my bee hives and one seems to be doing ok and the other was 100% empty. No dead bees either, just gone. They were there in late October when I took the supers off and consolidated before winter. Any ideas?

@RealAirPower1 Nordan bomb sight?

During WWII, the United States spent $1.5 billion developing this device - that's more than half the total cost of developing the atomic bomb. Do you know what it is? 😉

@cjtjgeol @BGatesIsaPyscho Turkey is home to many extensive underground cave systems I believe, and the region of cappadocia is home to several massive ancient underground cities. How water interacts with geology has been a life long fascination of mine.

@EW28216 @BGatesIsaPyscho Thx Eric...geomorphology is a fun subject (submajor to my science geochemistry/geology degree).. general public for the most part are blissfully unaware of the dynamic character of our global land surface processes, karst terrains notwithstanding..limestone caves are awesome tho.

🚨🇹🇷 Meanwhile in Turkey “Nearly 700 Sinkholes are tearing open Turkey’s farmland” “Scientists blame drought and climate change” The scientists are wrong once again.

@cjtjgeol @BGatesIsaPyscho Came here to comment this exact thing…

@BGatesIsaPyscho If you pump water out of limestone caverns, the caverns collapse forming sink holes.. not uncommon in karst (limestone) terrains.. simple geomorphology 101 Not climate change FFS.

@TheProjectUnity Chariot wheel?

I recorded this video at The Egyptian Museum in Cairo, it is called 'The Disk of Sabu' or 'The Schist Disk'. It was found in Tomb S3111 at Saqqara by Walter Bryan Emery in 1936, it is believed to be from 3000 BCE. Mainstream answer? A "Ritual Object"

It’s all about Jesus.

@RickRunGood Yes please

Normalize golf courses putting flags on the tee boxes so you can shoot backwards and see how far your drive went.

@AmericaPapaBear A military base near me does not accept cash at their golf course, or the restaurant. Credit only. I gave the clerk a speech about how the dollars in my pocket said “legal tender for settlement of all debts, public and private” signed by the secretary of the US treasury!

Have you ever been somewhere that doesn’t accept cash?

Congrats @SpaceX on an amazing starship launch and test flight. 🚀
