  • I live in one of the highest property value areas anywhere in the entire country, and the local district’s primary source of funding is municipal sales taxes. It’s truly absurd.

    Why is this absurd?

  • is "30 billion from the fed" the amount they are currently getting? and is it every year?

    what is that compared to? ie. how much does a school get from local residents?

  • I'll be honest, I'm not sure how funding for schools works.

    The school says to the city, "I need more money because properties are getting more expensive here" and the city bills the residents? Where does federal funding come in? Why do the residents pay for this?

  • THAT'S all we had to do?? jesus christ i've been slaughtering lambs for the last decade

  • Better.

  • Funny comparison, but very tonedeaf. The lack of gun legislation here causes thousands of children's deaths every year. It's the leading cause of death for kids, beating out suicide and cancer.

    Yes, the article humorously highlights the problem, but it doesn't make awful, unfair comparisons to places where the problem doesn't exist.

    Be better, please.

  • Recorded audio, sent back to the corporate office to be transcribed and sold to 3rd parties.

  • where is this?

  • It's easy to anticipate his moves because he has so much visibility. We know what he means when he speaks because we have decades of written and spoken text from him. We don't trust him to do the right thing, but we do trust him to be as cruel as he suggests he is.

    On the contrary, some lemmy.world users however only have two posts.. it's much harder to trust their words because we don't know them yet.

  • With politeness and respect, I wasn't talking to you :)

  • Offer solutions please, not more criticism. Your divisive, reductive meme highlights the problem described in OP's article but does nothing else. Please be better.

  • oh yeah you're right

    see you at the barbeque

  • no it would mean the rest of us were going to hell lol

  • I mean that's fucking FIRE writing but who is this person and what did he do

  • Are you sure

  • This isn't something to be pedantic about. You're not solving any problems by protecting a child-raping billionaire from misused words. Don't be a bad human, please.

  • and the yahoo emails from epstein
