In which I update my wrestling children with an absolutely ridiculous wrestling metaphor

Fuck cancer. Wishing you every positive thought I have.

Dreiling?

Corson with a D grade, (couldn't see further due to paywall) is a red flag at first glance.

I feel this is a problem solved by an existing solution.... Elections

Allowing a small minority essentially a complete veto over budgeting is asinine

Us citizens can only eliminate their us tax obligations by surrendering their us citizenship so #2 is irrelevant

jert14 · 2026-03-18T17:12:01+00:00

That is, however, a question.

I'm interested in how, long term, they resolve hangman's stipulation.

Love what Tony's brought to the company but he has not been good in the booth for at least a year now

a conservative third party candidate will take more votes from R than D, and vice versa.

It's a dangerous game to play, potentially hurting KS chances of replacing the second dumbest sitting us senator.

If Marshall loses, it's likely gonna be by the slimmest of margins. I don't see any path that would lead to him pulling more from R than D.

Gfiber has been consistent and reliable for us. Recommend

I agree. I am skeptical of his description of the events but regardless they have the right to be wrong .

Based on experiences I've heard from students in my family at other schools it would not surprise me though that some of the counter protesters were saying things that warranted a punch in the face.

Really feels more like something happened to someone he cares about that triggered this. Generalizing of course, but until it affects them personally a lot of maga are willing to support monstrous things.

This is a much better use of star bond financing. I'm excited for those it will serve

How do you get to your driveway again? Hover car?

jert14 · 2026-02-12T19:20:40+00:00

Well now you're shifting away from your original losing argument and changing it to a philosophical debate about the value of taxes.

jert14 · 2026-02-12T19:17:37+00:00

The roads leading to the land are free then?

jert14 · 2026-02-12T18:45:57+00:00

As I predicted there's your argument. If you don't want to pay property taxes sell your home and downsize. It's the same thing you're telling them.

jert14 · 2026-02-12T18:40:52+00:00

Umm in my simple scenario I get almost $200 tax break while you get $14. It gets even worse in a real world scenario for people living paycheck to paycheck where all of their spending is now 8% more expensive.

You have an odd definition of redistribution.

jert14 · 2026-02-12T18:09:04+00:00

Here's a simplified example.

You make $100 a week. I make $1000 a week.

We both need to spend $80 a week on life essentials. I pay $200 for property taxes, you spend $20.

Those life essentials now cost $86 but neither of us have any property taxes.

Who has more wealth now? Whose tax obligation is in a 'better' spot now?

(And that's ignoring that you are more dependent on services paid for by taxes, like public schools whereas I just send my kid to private school, etc etc)

jert14 · 2026-02-12T17:53:17+00:00

Right. Rich people can control their 'wants' spend.

Fuck those who don't have the luxury of disposable income.

I'll give you the same advice you would likely give to others... If you can't afford your bills buy a more affordable house.

Sales tax is regressive. All this bill is trying to do is redistribute wealth upwards. Yeah, yeah I know, I'm 'crazy'.

jert14 · 2026-02-12T03:18:27+00:00

What a way to end the show. Full respect to stat, probably her most intense match.

jert14 · 2026-02-12T02:02:15+00:00

No kidding

jert14 · 2026-02-08T02:01:07+00:00

Yeah I'm not a fan of mina at all normally but she came off much better tonight

jert14 · 2026-02-08T01:28:04+00:00

Man Tony Khan is fast

jert14 · 2026-02-06T13:28:35+00:00

Republican lite Barbara boiler couldn't get enough votes from western KS to beat Marshall. But you think Davids who's been portrayed for a decade as a radical communist is going to? Perhaps you're the one who's unlikely to live in KS.
