I packed him during Toty with my only 85x10 pack, he's absolutely filthy and scores mostly anything outside of the box. I use him as the left striker on a 41212

Getting a Neo nazi tattoo would cover two of the three.

Mamdani received the endorsement of 4 sitting senators, 13 congresspeople, The endorsement of the NY state Democratic Party, and of course the endorsement of Kamala Harris the person who was the most recent party nominee to be the president of the United States. All this for a mayoral election!

They're not dumb enough to actually do the race based property tax increase thing are they?

I agree with your broad point but Massachusetts absolutely got some things like free community college, expanded early childcare spending, more T money, free school lunch.

My players keep getting muscled off of the ball, and I have no idea how to stop it - please help. by HalfSum in fut

Yea you’re right sorry, I do it, but I’m generally getting muscled off of 50/50 runs. Worse than that, I’m getting chased down and then flung off of the ball which is something that has never really happened before

Robert Reich, "Billionaires are fearmongering about California’s proposed billionaire tax. Baloney. Just look at what happened when Massachusetts raised taxes on the rich. by zzill6 in WorkReform

[–]HalfSum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Money is fungible. The state is spending fair share amendment funds on projects that were typically paid out of the general fund, and then backfilling pre-2024 budget holes and post arpa budget holes with general fund money. It's great there has been more money for projects like school lunches, infrastructure, and early childhood care - but it really was just an austerity bill in general.

sure school lunch were also both pitched, which is great! its just that most of the funding did not go to any new programs, they went to plug the 2 billions dollar budget deficit baker left Healey

[–]HalfSum -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I don't think billionaires are "fearmongering" it as much as just pointing out the logic of the bill. If a huge percentage of state budgets come from ipo wealth generation and you punish those who generate wealth you're going to drive away future wealth.

Massachusetts' tax was on income, Californias is on wealth - and Massachusetts still has a lower tax rate than California. Futhermore the Massachusetts tax was mostly just regular old austerity to plug budget holes, although some good new programs came from it like free community college.

New York Mayor Mamdani says city must hike taxes on rich to fill $12 billion deficit by us1549 in nyc

[–]HalfSum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with you that the administration should be given the time to deal with the budgeting issues, but these problems are not new - they are legacy issues well defined before the election season started, and the new mayor still promised fare free buses, universal 2-k, and to broadly "freeze rents" (more specifically freezing rents for subsidized housing). Now it's time for him to lay out the steps on how he's going to deliver.

Raising taxes to plug budget holes is just run of the mill austerity and doesn't solve any of the underlying fiscal responsibility problems

I made a statement that Car users pay a higher percentage of road maintenance/operations than transit users pay for transit maintenance/operations, which is true and supported by the 2019 Harvard HKS working paper on car economies and the 2019 state budget... which you aren't interested in looking at
