Mint has basically contained bad decision making by Ubuntu and individual versions are supported for 5 years. The average computer lasts 6 before replacement.

Mint is fairly future proof I think.

You responded to a reasoned analysis with a cheap emotionally manipulative pile of shit. I realized anything else would purely be restating my positions which you already ignored and didn’t speak to wasting my time so I decided to stop engaging and block you after this post because you literally have nothing to say that anyone would benefit from reading.

Bullshit reasoning

You need to tax the rich asshole so that he never gets to having 2M in disposable income in the first place, and leave poor grandpa out of it.

Taxing property is one of the most effective taxes to pay for local services because its impossible to hide the property you physically occupy within the zip code. All reasonable taxes are going to be need to be paid for by a broad spectrum of the tax base from rich to modest wealth to be at all realistic.

Taxing income to a greater degree is VERY HARD to implement both politically and legally. Can’t be realistically implemented at the county level at all. Is subject to all kinds of creative accounting, and may get an unpredictable amount of money back to the federal government but may not realistically fund the existing services that are being paid for as we speak in your county. EG if the government decides to buy more airplanes with it your school and fire department might have to close.

It’s just not a sound strategy to pursue. Any attempt to tax wealth is going to have to focus on property not exempt it.

This is basically what a psychotic would say

If you have a 2M house the worst case scenario is selling it. There is no reason to choose to become homeless. Indeed losing it to taxes literally takes years whereas selling takes 30 days.

Some people are not very social, are taciturn or sad by nature or circumstances. They don’t owe you “fun” they owe you doing their duty.

You are a terrible person.

Could be c suite at a small company. If you have a few hundred people for instance

In many jobs that is just asking for liars to front during the job interview

Certain things are paid for by the municipality or county and incur costs to same. People. The people that use those resources like schools roads fire safety EMS etc can play all sorts of games about where they “officially” live but they can’t hide the actual house that their big fat butt sits in so it makes sense to tax that.

What you are saying is that its OK to tax someone who barely makes enough to live by taxing their income but if bob has 2M in property we shouldn’t tax THAT. Do you know how much income tax we should have to charge to make up for that? It’s a LOT and 95% of the benefit will accrue to those who are in the top 10% of wealth whilst much of the cost will be put on those in the folks on the lower rungs.

Shall we also forego taxing the 7 - 75th investment property?.

Can we maybe admit that having put $20,000 into a house that is now worth 2M isn’t a terrible problem to have and that grandpa is still the winner even with taxes?

Asking people to pay a share of their unearned wealth the same as all of us have to pay out of our earned wealth is totally shitting on them…

Yep under insured and bad people in charge ignoring all the raping for years

What you actually mean is that the housing market is hot dumping a bunch of unearned wealth on every asshole who bought a house in the last 50 years meaning that with the extra wealth you get to pay additional taxes.

This specifically is literally a town of 800 still owing 6 million dollars after they spent their little coffers and their insurance paid out what it was going to pay. They are literally taxing the home owners exactly what it cost to pay the settlement I doubt that is happening all over the place.

It’s not about the average over time. You are required to keep a continuous pace. If you drop below spec you are given a warning. The fourth warning is a rain of lead in your body. You can lose a warning by keeping pace for one hour and you can accumulate addition warnings until mortality if you don’t get back up to speed after a given warning.

So with no warnings you have less than 40 seconds to live if you just stop.

They want you to be able to show a birth certificate with a matching name as your id which actually rules out many trans people and the majority of married women.

ICE is planned to get 200B this year

People still buy Tesla’s even if its not enough to justify the stock price. Basically we need Trump to deliberately destroy him instead of knuckling under and coming to an understanding OR we need both of them to crash and burn in 2028 really really hard.

Ordinary stupidity and wastage isn’t going to be near enough.

Forever. The biggest thing that make’s you more money is having money and whereas someone with $1,000,000 can make themselves poor in a year if they are incompetent someone with hundreds of billions with Employees actually managing the day to day can lose a billion a year to stupidity and see the appreciation of the rest more than make up for it.
