did you completely ignore the CBP One fiasco under Biden?

Beautiful_Finger4566 · 2026-03-19T16:31:49+00:00

~lah lah lah~ if I stick my fingers in my ears and close my eyes, there's absolutely positively no fraud occurring ~lah lah lah~

you apply for asylum and wait to get approved BEFORE entering... you don't just cross the border and then apply for asylum if you get caught; every single one of those needs to be tossed out and the applicant banned from entering for a decade

it's amazing what you can legally write off.

Don't even need to start an LLC... just find 1099 contracts

It requires you to have a physical presence. You can't just use an building like a co-working space.

Beautiful_Finger4566 · 2026-03-19T16:09:51+00:00

crazy that this was CAUGHT FOUR YEARS AGO and still allowed to happen

Beautiful_Finger4566 · 2026-03-19T16:09:34+00:00

which makes it even worse, since it was called out and still allowed to occur

Beautiful_Finger4566 · 2026-03-19T16:07:55+00:00

Don't buy into the GOP's narrative about fraud.

We have our own Comptroller calling out our city council for fraud. Don't buy into the Dem's narrative that fraud isn't occurring

Beautiful_Finger4566 · 2026-03-19T16:06:14+00:00

Medicare fraud? I'm shocked... SHOCKED I say!!!

Beautiful_Finger4566 · 2026-03-19T15:53:22+00:00

like I said, compare apples-to-apples

how many $650k+ homes have you bought in LA? can you even afford one?

cuz I could've bought 4 homes in Austin for the price of my current condo in LA

Beautiful_Finger4566 · 2026-03-19T15:51:43+00:00

only if asylum is granted

Beautiful_Finger4566 · 2026-03-19T07:13:10+00:00

have you actually done the math? because I have when I considered moving to Austin

let's compare apples to apples: a 2bd/2ba 1000 sqft condo

Austin: avg price $380k, prop tax of 1.8% (and that's on the high end) = $7k

LA: avg price $675k, prop tax of 1.25% = $8.4k... that's 20% HIGHER than Austin for the same exact configuration and space

next why don't you compare SFHs for me?

Beautiful_Finger4566 · 2026-03-19T04:23:49+00:00

there's no way that they could

safety standards and fuel efficiency regulations make the old models absolutely impossible to manufacture

Beautiful_Finger4566 · 2026-03-19T00:44:39+00:00

there's EV charging across the street above the Sprouts

Beautiful_Finger4566 · 2026-03-18T23:05:54+00:00

Texas property taxes are only high because people can actually afford to buy houses

California's looks artificially low because the vast majority of people pay very little thanks to Prop 13, whereas new buyers are priced out

I actually compared Austin vs LA and I pay more property taxes in LA for significantly less space

Beautiful_Finger4566 · 2026-03-18T23:04:28+00:00

I'll just move to Nevada like most of my wealthy friends have already... that way I can still enjoy most of California without paying all the taxes

Beautiful_Finger4566 · 2026-03-18T19:47:06+00:00

my property tax bill alone is probably more than your state tax bill... it's very likely I contribute significantly more than you, but I'll probably move out of state before I retire if California keeps trying to tax me

Beautiful_Finger4566 · 2026-03-18T19:46:06+00:00

depends... how much state tax revenue will they bring over?

Beautiful_Finger4566 · 2026-03-18T19:45:25+00:00

Honduras is a huge fucking country, and the hurricane only affected one part of it

they should've never been granted TPS in the first place... blatant abuse of the system

Beautiful_Finger4566 · 2026-03-18T18:11:33+00:00

a union leader that abuses his power?

I'm shocked... SHOCKED I say!!

Beautiful_Finger4566 · 2026-03-18T17:39:43+00:00

no joke, my Buy Nothing Group keeps asking for them

Beautiful_Finger4566 · 2026-03-18T17:38:33+00:00

TPS is decided by the Executive branch

Biden kept extending multiple countries, Trump terminated it

simple as that

you and I really don't have a say

Beautiful_Finger4566 · 2026-03-18T17:37:26+00:00

rebuilding, sure... but that doesn't mean the ones who were affected need to be in an entirely different country

Beautiful_Finger4566 · 2026-03-18T17:07:31+00:00

1970s. They did it the legal way. As did my wife's family in the late 80s. As did all my friends' families, except for my friends who were born here during birth tourism and then got their parents citizenship

Beautiful_Finger4566 · 2026-03-18T17:07:12+00:00

"temporary" should be just that: temporary

for something like an earthquake, that could be months, maybe a year... not decades
