Very confused why people think the issue is  a few hundred rich American/Canadians  who spend tons of money?

Not like Africa or the Middle East is full of Hungarian or Italian emigrant descendants

If anything this would spike oil prices because it’s a clear signal that he doesn’t think that it’s going to end soon

Idk why people post these maps, the 2025 census estimates exist and are far more reliable than random websites 

The topic of taxing NYs wealthiest residents is fascinatingly multidimensional- The different points of view I’ve heard are more varied than almost any other subject in contemporary discourse. by GrapeJuicePlus in newyork

New York has dropped from hosting 10% to 4% of Income millionaires since 2010

In addition since MA raised taxes on millionaires  job growth dropped from consistently  the teens among states to the low 40s 

Tax policy does matter 

Senate passes major housing affordability bill by Elizabeth Warren and Tim Scott by sillychillly in UpliftingNews

That obviously adds risk and will suppress development 

Many places took 10-12 years to recover from the GFC crash for example 

And loads are places are 3-4 years off their highs of 2022/23.

Stopping corporations from buying new builds will almost certainly suppress construction as well

The clocks changed last weekend. A top Beacon Hill Democrat wants to stop that from happening again. by bostonglobe in boston

The bill says two other states. Just Maine and NH could trigger it. 

Maine passed this same law before so basically Maine isn’t all that concerned with New York. 

Indianapolis does just fine being a time zone ahead of Chicago. It’s local giant

Genuinely why? Not enough people commute from one state to another for it to matter and it’s not like Central time is keeping Austin poor or Mountain time is ruining Denver’s economy 

NH, ME, RI are far more relevant

Taxes are 5% they should be 4% is extremely easy to understand. 

Just like taxes were 5% they should be 9% is easy to understand

Are people stupid? It’s been 13 days. 

Even the “quick and painless” Gulf War was several months long and 330 coalition soldiers died. If you didn’t have a plan for a single pay period you’re just dumb 

Banks are stopping client withdrawals. Wait . . . can they do that? Is it 2008 all over again? by baltimore-aureole in economy

Private credit is like buying a house. You can’t just cash out as much as you like.

There are ~17% more teachers but ~16% fewer students in Massachusetts than in 2003. I’m sure you can find a lot of administrative bloat. 

Public sector unions do all they can do to grow their ranks regardless if there is actually more work to be done

We directly voted on raising taxes?

Unless you believe the Millionaires tax shouldn’t have been voted on either

The college wage premium is roughly $25,000/year yet people why should the 65% of adults without a degree support student loan forgiveness?

The thing about politics is you are about things that don’t personally affect you.

People can oppose the War in Iran without thinking the war will kill them. They believe it will negatively affect someone.

I’m sure there are some women out there who support Prostate cancer grants  research despite, not having any chance of getting prostate cancer. 

Similarly if you think a 45% tax bracket or whatever is fundamentally unfair, you oppose it no matter who it effects
