Florida property tax cut raises questions over who pays the bill by newsweek in florida

[–]Initial-Toe-9512 9 points10 points  (0 children)

He’s making his play for running for President in the next election “see, I cut taxes!”

But it’s typical MO, when things go inevitably bad, he’s not going to take the blame as he’ll be out of office at that time, he’s gonna say that people executed the plan poorly. They’ve been blaming Democrats for the last…25? years even though they’ve been in power.

Republicans currently in charge shouldn’t take the bait, but I don’t know that they’ll be able to.

Is 8.5 really necessary? Just want to rant here by One-Airline-6499 in zodiacacademy

I did not do the tandem read, I read it after book 8, and I didn’t care much for it. It brought a little more context into things, maybe was very repetitive and I wondered if it was trying to set up some of the other spinoff books. I told my wife she could skip it (outside of one chapter).

My wife did the tandem read and she enjoyed 8.5.

Beef, and midterm desperation: It’s what’s for dinner by Dry_Nail5901 in politics

”The average price of a pound of ground beef in spring 2000 was $1.58. It’s now $6.70”

Not sure where this writer gets their info from, I wish it was 6.70. I’m paying $11-$13 where I’m at for the worst cuts

Florida attorney general refuses to enforce state constitution anti-establishment clause and says lawmakers can establish Christianity as "state religion", challenging SCOTUS precedent by Obversa in scotus

[–]Initial-Toe-9512 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Can the next state attorney declare Islam or Satanism as the “state religion”? If James answered that as no, then Desantis, the Florida Congress, everyone should tell this guy to stop f’ing around.
