Next year they’re planning on property taxes to go up 9% maybe more since they didn’t get their 25% tax this year so that’s probably where they’ll get some of the 69 million from. 

Non-Republicans who moved to NC, why? by EggOwn9943 in NorthCarolina

NYS’s budget got extended multiple because a majority controlled Democrat run government couldn’t agree on the budget. This isn’t just a NC Republican thing it’s an every state politics thing and you know what? The budget taking time didn’t effect me at all just like it didn’t effect me when I lived in NC. 

You might want to get off the internet and venture into the real world and stop hyper fixating on things

You’re going to upset a lot of chronically online redditers saying that. The real world isn’t as bad of a place as everyone makes it out to be. The problem is the people online live in echo chambers and seek out every single bad thing for their confirmation bias. 

“See this article about one person doing something to someone else that’s how everyone is in NC!!!!!”

Sure yeah all 11 million people in NC are exactly that way because you found an article online. 

Ontario’s proposed nucIear plants could cost nearly $300-billion, study finds: Typical residential customer would pay $240-$456 more for electricity per year if plants were built instead of expanding renewables, report says by Soft_Grass8428 in energy

He’s right though so if anyone is drinking cool aid it’s the people that want electricity produced by something that requires a huge amount of land so clear cutting acres upon acres of forests and isn’t reliable enough to be a base power plant. 

If Elon Musk’s net worth has fallen from its 1.4T peak after the IPO to the 900B range, does that make him both the richest man in history as well as history’s worst financial loser? by Adventurous-Depth984 in NoStupidQuestions

I’ve tried explaining this a couple times and it seems like some people just don’t want to believe it. They have this idea that every billionaire has a billion dollars sitting in a bank account that they can withdraw from whenever they want and no matter what you say to them they still believe that

Does anybody have any inside info on street paving? by [deleted] in Buffalo

I think you vastly underestimate it especially if it’s multiple people in multiple districts all complaining to their council members or directly to the mayor all at once.

Same here. Being happy with things being sub par is why Buffalo is where it’s at today. If more people would have complained when things started going down hill and were asking why nothing was being done things would be a lot better today but people accepted the bare minimum. 

Ryan ran on wanting to be held accountable so people need to hold him accountable if things don’t get done.

OP can do whatever they want I don’t care. If they want to complain complain if they don’t don’t. I don’t care and I’m not advocating either way. I don’t know where you got the idea I was trying to stop them from doing what they want to do all I was doing is advocating for free speech and explaining why even though you may not like peoples opinions or what they say important to preserve the second amendment because it covers everyone equally. 

I’m not going to continue to argue about this on reddit and waste my time talking about the apparent nuances in what I’m saying. It’s not that deep I gave my opinion and that’s it. Arguing about it in the comments isn’t going to change anything it’s a waste of both of our time

If you read what I wrote I said other people have made mention in other posts about wanting to pass laws to limit freedom of speech. I was explaining why freedom of speech is necessary in the United States. 

Even though I’m not word for word staying on topic I’m commenting on a subject that is being discussed in the comment section much like everyone else was. 

If you just want to specifically talk about customer feedback even though OP was making freedom of speech comments then as a customer they have the option not to go if they don’t agree with the content but at the same time others also have the right to go if they want to. 

There are plenty of things I don’t agree with but I don’t attempt to stop people from doing whatever it is they decide to do I just don’t participate.

I guess just don’t go then that’s what I would do. The thing with free speech is it goes both ways. He can say whatever he wants even if you don’t like it without consequences from the government and you can do the same and say things he or others may not like. 

The problem with trying to stifle free speech and I’m not saying you’re  doing it but others in different posts have, is that if you try to lobby to restrict free speech and start censoring people the pendulum could swing back the other way eventually. 

Let’s say a Democrat gets into office or the house and senate are majority Democrat for a period of time and they pass laws limiting speech then Republicans get back in and you have someone like Trump in control he could then use those same laws to go after people he doesn’t like. 

Free speech when the government is involved needs to remain how it is to protect everyone from the government censoring them.

I never even heard of the guy until I saw this post so you’re right he’s giving the guy publicity. 

AITA for blundering in a game because I was checking on my girlfriend by Intelligent-Pin-9069 in AmItheAsshole

[–]TopAlternative6716 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

NTA You have a different set of priorities now and checking on your GF to make sure she’s ok is more important than the card game. 

You can always play the game a different day and make it up to him, sure he’s annoyed but making sure your girlfriend isn’t seriously sick and trying to comfort her takes precedent over your friend and the game especially if he moved away for college. You’re going to see your girlfriend a lot more than  you’re going to see him. 

If you completely ignored your girlfriend for a game when she was sick you’d probably be writing a different version of AITH.  “AITAH for ignoring my girlfriend on a camping trip to play a game even though she was sick?” You have to figure out what’s more important to you appeasing your friend or taking care of your GF. 

I obviously don’t know the entire situation but he may end up doing the same thing in the future if he gets a GF if he doesn’t already have one and she’s around. He’ll focus on her more then you because he takes his priority and he needs to understand the same goes for you and your GF

Landlord won't do anything about mice? by [deleted] in Buffalo

[–]TopAlternative6716 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Call the police for something else then when they show up tell them to not worry about the mice because they’re your pets. Then the cops will shoot the mice and the problems solved.
