I think you are too nice.they are actively trying to own everything.And then they don't need to seize anything, because you are forced to work to the bone (even more than you are right now) to just afford your own house rent/property tax.

Companies love to become like old Lord and counts and own the land/products and you just rent and work for them.

first they disabled Russian porsches and I didn't care because I am not a russian owner of a porsche.

then they came for Ukrainian tractors and I didn't care because I am not an Ukrainian owner of a tractor.

then step by step everything was digitally locked and I owned nothing and I was not really happy.

Texas governor designates Muslim Brotherhood, CAIR as terror organisations

Jump

رضا @lemmy.world 3mo ago

there is so much of an stretch that even trump didnt claim this (though he will later).

they only country that did was UAE which is terrorist supporter regime dictatorship."CAIR called the move "shocking and bizarre", and some international American terrorism analysts were also critical. The Washington Post wrote: "CAIR and the Muslim American Society are not alone in their shock. Diverse groups across Europe were also added to the list, leaving many observers perplexed at the scope and sheer scale of the list"

my “most muslim countries”

so you were incorrect for both count.

I meant most middle eastern countries, and specifically the MB

there are 14 muslim countries in west Asia (or as colonial English called middle east). from that 14 only 5 countries banned that group.

so you are wrong two out of two again.

I love how you say specially MB, as if CAIR is banned by anyone outside of UAE (and now ofc course the racist texas government.)

Now you made me go and check the muslim brotherhood situation too to see how much of the "most Muslim countries" statement is true:according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muslim_Brotherhood#Designation_as_a_terrorist_organization9 muslim countries banned this group.

and according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam_by_country there are 53 muslim countries.

so even the first part is bullshit.

again, my question was is it true that Council on American Islamic Relations is banned in most Muslim countries.

putting them both together (CAIR and muslim brotherhood) was the disgusting original intention of Texas.and it seemed to have worked on you.

Baby boomers' property tax revolt

Jump

رضا @lemmy.world 3mo ago

again.. you are thinking like a neolibral.why would i want to mortgage my house (not an asset) to borrow against.

you are (unknowingly) doing the capitalist work. you say borrow against like it is a good thing. those who borrow against their home, most of the time they have to do it (or they are irresponsible and that way they lose their house).

please before saying anything about this idea, think if your way is "home for a person or a family to live in" or "house as an asset". anything that is the second it not a point for ordinary people. but it is good for the rentier system and leeches of them.

I am not against taxes. I am against taxes having to do with your primary home (not house asset) price which you only get if you sell and then have to buy even more expensive house if you want a place to live.

if your answer is that they should sell so that others can buy, then you haven't helped house issue. you just hate people that own a home.

I don't know why people that are against house being an financial asset, are in favor of property taxes. it does nothing (literally nothing) to lower the price of homes. if someone's home property taxes gets to high for him then he has to sell it at the current market price to another person that has to do the same. property taxes on your own home (places you live) does nothing for house supply.

now taxing empty houses or rent is a good idea. and not at 1 or 5 percent. at the current income tax rate and do it for corpos too.

unpopular opinion:I agree with them... kinda.if you live in your house, that's your home and you should not pay another rent based on its price.

using price of home for taxes causes every government official from mayor up to at best not really care if houses prices go up or actually fight policies that lower it.I see a lot of people here that advocate for property taxes as a progressive tax but I don't see it that way at all.

my take is government should tax empty houses and rents for landlords.

it is a mistake to follow Neo-liberal thinking of "you are the landlord of you own home" which is prevalent in financial world to make homes investment assets and count rent as GDP which make government be happy that number go up.

I hear here that "boomers" like high price of houses so they "deserve" punishment of high property taxes.but if you live you own home and don't make money of it, you don't get any positive from house prices going up. most "news" about someone selling their house for a lot of money and going into smaller house is just them needing that money for healthcare and living, not investment.
