BREAKING: About 120 U.S. military veterans were arrested inside the Cannon House Office Building today protesting Trump's war on Iran.
Some were on crutches. Some were in wheelchairs. Some carried the burial flags of fallen soldiers.
They are members of About Face — veterans who know what war costs because they have already paid for one.
Capitol Police handcuffed disabled veterans and dragged them out of the rotunda.
53% of American voters oppose the war. 74% oppose ground troops. 61% disapprove of Trump's handling of it.
The people who fought America's last wars are now being arrested for trying to stop the next one.
Never stop connecting the dots.

@gemgcox @XueJia24682 How does it feel to pay property tax 2 to 4 times a year, along with various other fees? We indeed don't own the land; it belongs to the state. However, China has no such miscellaneous expenses at all

@gemgcox @XueJia24682 In China you nominally lease the property but effectively own it.
In the US you nominally own the property but effectively lease it.

@gemgcox @XueJia24682 I am more concerned with the manifested reality than the aspirational fiction.

@gemgcox @XueJia24682 So you actually don't own the land; you're just renting it from the government. If you own land, why do you still have to pay property tax to the government? And if the property tax is in arrears, does the government have the right to reclaim your land?

@gemgcox @XueJia24682 Real estate long served as the primary store of wealth for Chinese households—accounting for roughly 60-70% of urban household assets—making the downturn a severe negative wealth effect.

@gemgcox @XueJia24682 你说的很正确,但没有完全正确,因为你不知道的是,这70年里这个房子完全属于你,而且70年不用缴纳任何费用,最重要的是,70年到期后,你只需要花很少的钱就能再续70年。国家设立这个70年不是为了节制它的人民,而是为了节制商人和资本家霸占土地,因此让人民享受不到应有的权益,他们得付出高昂的代价
