If you make me laugh, if you make me cry, if you make me kiss my ass goodbye (climate change), if you make me think, if you make me try, if you make me wonder why, I will follow you.

🎇Oof .. letters to the editor As it turns out, you can’t fool ALL Floridians all the time “Property-tax debate is a diversion In the June 10 editorial, “Months before property-tax vote, budget talks got dirty in the dark,” is this: “Because in November, voters will be asked to shift a massive chunk of funding authority away from city and county governments to state lawmakers and Tallahassee bureaucrats.” This proposed constitutional amendment is, in my opinion, a misdirection play by DeSantis and the Republicans in Tallahassee, diverting attention away from the high prices that we pay to insure our homes here in Florida. 🎯Instead of going after the exorbitant rates that the home and auto insurance providers extract from Floridians, DeSantis and the Republican legislators want to give us a “quick fix.” But it isn’t a fix. Taking away the power of local government entities to run their own operations, DeSantis and the Florida Republican legislators are asking us to trust them to do the job better when we know that they can’t, in part because of corruption. We Florida voters had better vote no on the matter of homestead taxes or we will regret it, commencing almost immediately” ————————————- ——————- “A fiscal disaster in the making The property tax “reform” constitutional amendment passed by less-than-brilliant Tallahassee twits will cause irreparable harm to Florida. This poorly thought out legislation will surely pass because there are enough self-serving people who only care about themselves. 🏆Let us not forget: Floridians put protections for pregnant pigs in our Constitution. Many people who will vote for this fiscal disaster have never bothered to attend a municipal budget meeting or even reviewed a proposed budget. I am a longtime homesteaded property owner, ✅and my homeowners’ insurance is nearly triple my property taxes. Not allowing insurance companies to shift profits to out-of-state subsidiaries would save me more money than this disaster. Hopefully, over the next few months, people will learn what services their local governments will need to eliminate because they are non-essential and what it will mean to our quality of life. But I doubt it”

Today is President Trump's birthday. In his honor, here are some of his contributions: âś… Over 4 million Americans have lost health insurance due to ACA rollbacks. âś… Tariffs cost your family on average $1,700 more for everyday items per year.

McDonald's verliest de rechtszaak tegen chef Jamie Oliver, die bewees dat het voedsel dat ze verkopen ongeschikt is voor menselijke consumptie omdat het zeer giftig is. Dat was zo'n acht jaar geleden... maar niemand leek zich erom te bekommeren... Chef Jamie Oliver heeft een rechtszaak gewonnen tegen 's werelds grootste fastfoodketen. Oliver demonstreert hoe hamburgers worden gemaakt. Volgens Oliver worden de vette stukken vlees "gewassen" met waterstofammoniak en vervolgens gebruikt om de hamburger in de vleespasteiverpakking te vullen. Zelfs vóór dit proces, zegt de tv-presentator, was dit vlees ongeschikt voor menselijke consumptie. Oliver, een radicale activistische chef-kok die de strijd aanbindt met de voedselindustrie, zegt: "We hebben het over vlees dat als hondenvoer wordt verkocht en vervolgens aan mensen wordt geserveerd. Naast de kwaliteit van het vlees is ammoniumzuur schadelijk voor de gezondheid." Oliver noemt het "het roze mestproces". Welk weldenkend mens zou een stuk vlees dat in waterstofammoniak is gedrenkt in de mond van een kind stoppen? In een ander initiatief demonstreerde Oliver hoe kipnuggets worden gemaakt: Nadat de "beste delen" zijn geselecteerd, wordt de rest – vet, huid, kraakbeen, ogen, botten, kop, poten – onderworpen aan een Mec-Split-mengsel genaamd Canica – een eufemisme dat door voedselingenieurs wordt gebruikt. Deze bloedroze pasta, die wordt ontgeurd, gebleekt, opgefrist en opnieuw geverfd, wordt vervolgens door bloem gehaald en gefrituurd. Het blijft in normaal gesproken gedeeltelijk gehydrogeneerde oliën, oftewel giftige stoffen. De voedselindustrie gebruikt ammoniumwaterstof als antimicrobieel middel, waardoor McDonald's vlees in zijn hamburgers kan gebruiken dat ongeschikt is voor menselijke consumptie. Nog alarmerender is echter het feit dat deze op ammoniumwaterstof gebaseerde stoffen wereldwijd in de voedselindustrie worden beschouwd als "legale componenten van het productieproces", met de goedkeuring van de gezondheidsautoriteiten. Consumenten zullen dus nooit weten welke stoffen er in hun voedsel zitten. STOP ALSJEBLIEFT MET HET GEVEN VAN DIT NEPPE VOEDSEL AAN UW KINDEREN, want NU WEET U HET. business-on.de/ammoniumhydro…

Jamie Oliver spande geen rechtszaak aan tegen McDonald's en won er geen; dit is een hardnekkige hoax uit 2011. McDonald's stopte dat jaar met ammoniakbehandeld vlees na publieke kritiek, niet door een vonnis. factcheck.vlaanderen/factcheck/jami… knack.be/factcheck/fact… factchecknederland.afp.com/doc.afp.com.9X…

BOOMER: “Just buy a house instead of renting.” ME: “Average house is $420,000.” BOOMER: “Get a mortgage then.” ME: “Rates are at 7%. That’s $2,800 a month.” BOOMER: “Cut back on expenses.” ME: “I don’t eat out. I don’t travel. I drive a 2015 Civic.” BOOMER: “Maybe get a second job.” Funny how every solution means working more for a system that keeps making the finish line further away. But nobody ever tells the banks to lower the rates.

My aunt is 69 and still working. Not because she wants to. Because her Social Security check is $1,100 a month. Her rent is $1,400. She worked 40 years and paid in every single check. $1,100 is what the safety net looks like up close.

This man is a Funeral Home owner and he received a call from a Hospital in Columbus, Ohio asking him if they would be willing to take a Ebola case and he told them no way. This means there’s a person that allegedly passed away from Ebola in Ohio.

When people in Washington lower their voices and say, “Please don’t use my name. I’m afraid he’ll come after my family’s livelihood,” it means something has broken. People no longer trust the law to protect them.

The rise of surveillance capitalism must be stopped. Charging obscene airfare because the algorithm knows you're going to a funeral should be illegal. Using our data to price gouge us should be illegal.

Florida now has ~177,000 homes for sale. The ENTIRE Northeast has ~79,000. One state has more than double the inventory of an entire region. That’s not a normal housing market divergence.

The Trump administration is proposing a new rule that forces all federal employees to sign NDAs upon hire. Employees who speak out or report wrongdoing could be fired, blacklisted, even sued under this rule. This is a direct threat to both the First Amendment and would-be whistleblowers who already face impossible hurdles when holding the government accountable. We have less than two weeks to stop it.

The Florida GOP led by Gov Ron DeSantis has failed Floridians with a property tax scheme that would decimate cities/towns & shift local authorities’power to Tallahassee While the real problem Is homeowner’s insurance .. the very companies that donate multi millions to the gov and legislature to look the other way “ in Florida, where individual and collective fortune is built on property value and housing markets, insurance markets are particularly vital Without insurance, you and I wouldn’t be able to get or keep a mortgage Without mortgages buyers would lose access to a market, causing home prices to fall The real estate market and all the jobs wound up in it , would stutter The property tax base would fall and with it , local governments’ budgets would drop A downward financial spiral ensues”

A heartbroken elderly Albanian man says Jared Kushner has taken everything he spent a lifetime building, including his land, his home, and the future he hoped to leave behind for his children. He says he returned home one day only to find his property sealed off behind barbed wire, with men in black uniforms standing guard and refusing to let him step inside the house he once called his own. In a single moment, he says, the life he had worked for was gone. “It was the end of the world. The end of the world.” “I felt imprisoned.” “They took my freedom.” “They took my livelihood.” “They took my land.”

"We have not seen this since Selma." That's how voting-rights advocates described what happened when more than 100 FBI agents targeted a major voter-registration effort in Ohio. This should terrify every American. Read the full article for free at: mesoscalenews.com/p/we-have-…
