Who knew buying in bulk could save you money?

This is what's happening to Vegas, the number of visitors is dropping but the casino profit is increasing. The city no longer caters to the middle class but to millionaires.

Yes that's my point. Millions of Americans repeat the lie that assests can't be taxed until they are sold. They fret about the administrative details, logistics, morality of it. Meanwhile it's happening everyday for most homeowners.

Property can't be taxed, but any money made from selling property can. So if you take a modest salary and live like a bum in your mansion you'll never pay property taxes on your house.

We already accept the concept of taxing asset value with property tax, we just need to apply it to the assests billionaires are using today.

Mostly they just want to know you weren't in prison during the gap. Be prepared with an explanation

The woman is clearly dressed up for the occasion, if you look closely electrical tape is holding her T-shirt to keep the from from bunching.

I'm guessing some Republican staffer started talking to their dasher one night, realized they were MAGA and decided to arrange this stunt to distract us from the Epstein files

Since 1977 the US federal government has had to require many grocery stores to sell produce. The margins are lower, the labor is higher, and they use a lot of grocery floor space. Without that intervention there probably wouldn't be access to any produce at all for most Americans. Capitalism is very much the center of this story. In Europe the varieties of produce being grown are being mainly dictated by flavor and taste, in the USA resistance to insects, cheaper to harvest, size of product are the main criteria when the varieties of seeds to plant are being selected.

Actually there is very much an overrepresentation of queer men in fraternities, and even more in fraternity leadership. During my undergrad I'd say about 20% of fraternity men were queer. From talking to other fraternity men across the country, that number seemed to be pretty universal. If you start looking at Executive board members that number starts to rise to probably 30-40%.

Don't get me wrong, lots of things about fraternities are disgusting, and I am not sure they deserve to exist TBH. But they are often a refuge for awkward closeted gays.

 

TLDR: Suburban Republican legislators got unreasonably angry over an urban bike lane being installed, they demanded an expensive study to prove bike lanes are bad for cars. Study found bike lanes cause no harm to car traffic, but the construction company should have helped businesses and emergency services more during the construction phase. Suburban Republicans still mad they weren't consulted first, still plan on vetoing any future traffic calming in a city they don't live in despite screaming "local control" about other issues.
