Property taxes, like basically every other cost to a rental property, just gets passed down to renters as well. It's not like landlords let taxes affect their profit margins.

Looks like you need the wayback machine now. I didn't realize the site was dead, I really liked it.

I use FBReader everyday. When you say that it's netblocked, what do you mean? I've been able to use it in airplane mode with no issues. I'm using v3.7.6.

In Massachusetts I think it generally is listed on the receipt.

I want my sisters to maintain bodily autonomy, and I don't want my country to descend even more into christian fascism. I also don't think me falsely signalling that I won't vote for democrats will benefit much of anything. In 2016, it mostly just got leftists labeled "Bernie Bros" and blamed for Clinton's failings.

I didn't know of them. Thanks.

If there was a third party, I honestly think there'd be a chance to make things better. Either to force reform by pulling votes from the bigger party, or being a vanguard for revolution. Just not the fucking green party, jesus. They didn't win a single county in 2016, and I fucking hate them.

Yeah, to both.

The only one I know of is Jill Stein, and she's a joke.

Because she knows that Palestine isn't most American's top issue, so she can afford to lose the few people that would go through with a boycott.

No, I agree. I think that Palestine isn't the only issue that matters, though, and she'd be different than Trump on a lot of other issues. Female reproductive health, appointing judges, having a working FTC and FCC. So if I'm going to withold my vote to help Palestine, I'd like some reason to believe it would actually help them.

 

In the coming months, 62 turbines, each up to 850 feet high (taller than any building in Boston) with blades about 350 feet long, will be planted on a sweep of seabed 15 miles off Martha’s Vineyard, the island where former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton have vacationed.

Cables carrying electricity created by spinning rotors will land on a beach in Barnstable on Cape Cod and then head to consumers in the state. Vineyard Wind says its machines will crank out enough power to light up 400,000 homes.
