Yeah... they favor the elderly. There's 2 reasons gam gam and pop pop retire to Florida. The first is the senior friendly programs, the second is because the heat is good for gam gam's arthritis.

All of this is going to become quite fleeting though, as Florida relies heavily on tourism... tourism they're going to lose incrementally each year as hurricane season gets meaner and longer. Plus just the general perception OF Florida, for example, if you hear about someone eating another person's face or you see a story where a woman attacks her husband with a taxidermized squirrel... chances are it's florida.

So far the state has offset this with federal relief, for covid and natural disaster and what not, but at some point that teat is going to dry up.

Florida bases it's property taxes on market value from the previous January 1st... this makes it RAPIDLY responsive to housing bubbles. You're also paying higher use tax for all services from out of state- like your internet and cell phone. Most importantly for Florida though is it's document stamp taxes which are one of the highest in the country, which includes things like the closing costs on a home purchase, warranty deeds, etc.

I saw a dude wearing this exact shirt at the grocery store. I put on a tiny performance when we crossed paths, playing the role of someone who didn't get the reference and instead just assumed dude had shit himself and should protect his nose from the smell.

My performance was subtle and yet still effective. I saw a glimmer of shame in his eyes as I gave him a wide birth.

Winning in November is his free ticket out of his legal troubles... there is ZERO chance he would drop out under ANY circumstance.

Now if Joe would drop out and let someone competent run we could make sure he DOESN'T win and actually faces the justice he deserves, but Joe's greed is putting everything at risk.

They're getting their money somewhere... if you're not paying it in income tax then you're paying it in sales tax, or commodity taxes, or permits. The money is coming from somewhere,.

I used to really like him and even at times I still agree with him- my beef is that he gives a platform to terrible ideas. 2 1/2 hours to a guy who thinks 1x1=2... with very little pushback.

This is satire, it HAS to be satire. Jesus, Superman, Spiderman, Jordan Peterson looking like he's about to cry, an anime guy, Undertaker, squidward, a sportsball guy, Ben, and not one but TWO eagles... there is no way this isn't satire.

It's quite a coincidence considering next Saturday I'm going to sci-fi con where Arthur and John's voice actors will be guests. I'll go from having talked to zero RDR2 voice actors to 3 in less than a week... and not all in the same location.

I'm saying this as neutrally as possible, NOT an endorsement of the stabber- just objectively true statement... nothing was ever going to change their mind. They could be rescued from a flood and nursed back to health by a Muslim and the best one could expect from them is 'they're one of the few good ones'.

Big fan of your work, just never knew it.

STOP you from overdrafting. If something tries to withdraw and funds aren't available then reject it. If the bank fails to do that then that's on them. That's their job.

But each property they buy makes the next property more expensive- and they don't want short term loans, they want 30 year mortgages with all the extras... but it's becoming too expensive for people looking to finance.

It's not that the corps are taking their profits- they're taking their customers. Those are renters now.

I suspect if I'm even close to right I'm still wrong- because the next step the bank will take to make it affordable is to offer 45 year mortgages or something.

Let's not act like Reddit doesn't get scraped for data too. The only place your data is safe is when it's in your head.

He won't see any punishment until after the election. Sentencing is in July and then the appeals process could take years. If he wins in November this all goes away.

The only real celebration you can have now is just watching his cultists lose their shit.

I always THINK I'm going to be a rifleman but I always end up an in your face shotgunner... just like in Skyrim I think I'm going to play an archer and end up dual wielding axes.

Unfortunately not. He's got a podcast that is basically the content of Tim Pool with the smug delivery of Tucker Carlson. He's basically the worst of each of those two individuals.

Are we seeing banks getting hurt by the corporations that have been buying all the single family homes? Is it possible that banks will become an unlikely ally in the fight against the holding companies that drive property value up for home buys AND renters?

Assuming the power supply/fuel they use could be created. If they were using existing fuels I imagine this would be too big to work. The design DOES work, but the Osprey is leaner- the vertibird seems like it's made of steel and it's plump.

The melee combat of 2077, along with a first person option.

I wouldn't mind seeing the world shorty after the conjunction, the first age of Witchers- before they were reviled.

lol, joey mannarino the scrawny dweeb talking about fighting a civil war. Dude can't open his own pickle jar.

I can't even make fun of him anymore... it comes off like prophecy or something. He's destroyed satire.

Take your time in White Orchard. It's easy to get scurried away to the next part of the game but really hit up those side quests. You'll need the XP and gear.

Most of them will just straight up ignore it and start talking about George Soros.

Excellent, and then we can tax their goods on the way in AND at the point of purchase.

America isn't better because it has billionaires.
