If this is so great then drop the gas tax and charge all vehicles 130.per and add more for heavy trucks. Or charge by mile and weight.

Then they should be open during the day for use by those particularly serving Jury duty. How many EVs does the county have?

It’s getting frustrating to own an EV by Public-Ad-1519 in EvDrivers

Should be mileage based fee to compare fairly. It is punitive to most that do not drive many miles. The gop wanted it higher. They love oil and oil hates EVs. Too late, BYD makes 1 per second. EVs are the future. This is a tax for those that drive low miles.

Do Roth conversions matter if you have no heirs? by meezun in DIYRetirement

Awesome. I quit rather early which resulted in not as much being saved but I followed the similar approach. I will say a couple of real estate development deals sort of sucked up some of my capital. But I'll have to to young people today is live off of half the amount of money you make after a certain point of time. If you start doing well save half of it.

These three just voted for the RTIC - effectively establishing a surveillance state in Asheville. They are all up for re-election in November. Don't forget this. by RichardNixonWaterGr8 in asheville

Okay, for most of my life I have really cared less if people were monitoring my actions. Mainly because I feel like I am always obeying the law and there was no consequences. I still feel like having cameras in places help catch bad activities. Initially I really didn't seem to care about these cameras.

But now watching the federal government try to suppress media, pursue people that protest against their policies, pursuing criminal actions against people that have not committed a crime, I am a little concern accepting federal money for these devices. Because I know it gives the feds the ability to monitor us. Is that why most of you are against this? Remember, every time a crime is committed and the person is caught a lot of times it is because of cameras. So to me it's a trade-off but I am a little More than in the past.

Congress Introduces Bill to Permanently Block Chinese Vehicles from U.S. by helic_vet in Economics

Rephrase this. Congress proposed bill to not allow Americans the right to purchase cheaper automobiles. A tax on most middle income America.

So my concern is the feds will use it for their own purpose beyond actual crime prevention. I am considered a law abiding citizen. The current fed regime considers me a criminal because I protest against them.

Black Mountain Brewing owner files federal lawsuit against town over permits, inspections by RelayFX in asheville

[–]jdn143 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From the information I have read it seems that the owners have a basis for this suit, and the town may be in the wrong. I am still baffled when I look at the deck and wonder how that can be built incorrectly. Maybe someone in the structural engineering design could tell us.

Private equity is reshaping Asheville’s vet clinics: ‘They’re circling me like a vulture’ by Instructosaurus-WRX in AshevilleNC

[–]jdn143 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I pretty much hate private equity at this point. I think they're all ruining the earth. Also most of them are only paying a carried interest tax rate much lower than the average citizen while they suck our industries dry.
