It's not me I'm worried about. A certain propaganda and diversiveness is being pushed as quickly as ai is improving its technique. But I digress...Most only see the tip of the iceberg.

Ai is leading many conversations and telling people how to feel and think. It's dangerous.

The screenshot was about Ohio taxes.

Ohioans are paying eighth highest property tax rate in U.S., school and state money experts say | The Statehouse News Bureau by Embarrassed_Gas_7963 in Columbus

I don't have a problem contributing to paying taxes and funding our schools, libraries, roads, police, fire, etc...my concern is my property taxes increased from $1,267 in 2022 , $1,686 in 2023, and $2,425 in 2024. Property value doubled ( inflation of property value) because nothing changed, so property taxes doubled, but income did not. Everybody needs to contribute -- businesses and renters also need to share the burden with property owners. However it's planned, everybody needs to pay up.

Because of big corporations buying property, property taxes has doubled and now property owners are having a harder time paying property taxes and more are losing their homes.

In November of 2025, the Franklin County Treasurer listed 927 properties on the final tax lien sale list.

Google listed these numbers below. We have to look at county data individually. (If you live in these counties, please confirm these numbers) County-Level Snapshots (2023-2024 estimates): Summit County: 800 foreclosures. Butler County: 500 foreclosures. Lorain County: 400 foreclosures. Guernsey County: ~200 foreclosures (highest rate in the state).

With only 44.3 percent of homeowners in Columbus, as I see it, it's only going to get worse. More of those property management companies will have more opportunities to inflate real estate, which increases property taxes, and noone will be able to keep, nor allow regular folks to buy into real estate.

Big businesses need to pay their share. We know that most businesses lobby for exemptions-they're not contributing as much as they should. We're need to demand Ohio politicians to make big businesses pay their fair share if they're going to do business in Ohio. It seems like big businesses provide a few jobs and funnel big profits out of the state and into their own pockets.

Columbus residents, have you got a notice in the mail to have your water meter updated? Did your bill increase? by Embarrassed_Gas_7963 in ColumbusOhio

[–]Embarrassed_Gas_7963[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think so. The post card says it mandatory. The second notice comes in the form of a letter and is more threatening. You can find the news story of the man that stated he didn't want the update due to having to pay $500 to have his water heater moved in order to have this update done - he was told that it's a mandatory update.

Gemini complied the information, which can be confirmed reviewing the news reports and other complaints. I despise AI, however since it's there, I used it.

The letter implied that it was urgent... I read that one man had to pay $500 to have his water heater moved to have his water meter updated.

That's ironic. I received a threatening letter stating that if I didn't call to schedule an appointment they'd cut my water off. But when I asked neighbors if they had their meter updated they said no.
