That’s the classic cycle in blue cities, taxes increase dramatically, causing an exodus. The city responds by raising taxes and other costs even further, to squeeze more out of the remnants, which causes an even greater exodus. The cycle continues until you get Detroit, an abandoned city with no property value and no industry.
They literally kill the goose that lays the golden egg, absolutely failing to understand that high taxes drive property values down.
That social media post alone will probably mean a federal conviction. Libtard chatter out there suggests that they may try to go after the pensions of any retired veterans or cops at Stop the Steal.
The 737 Max is overpowered, and software solutions to the basic hardware problem won’t cut it... this is basic engineering. They need to scrap the thing and design a new aircraft, but I doubt that they’re smart enough to realize that.
Officer Brian Sicknick of the Capitol police is dead. They pulled the plug at 9:30 pm tonight after his family said their goodbyes. He was clobbered with a fire extinguisher, causing a massive brainstem injury.
Btw folks, at 23:38 oil just took a hit again, to below 31. It had moved up to 34, bringing much of the market with it, but now is struggling to get back up.
Expect a hit on the market accordingly in the AM, especially oil-sensitive stocks. I think that LYFT is a worthless pig, but somebody keeps throwing money into it. The current bid of 30.52 x 800 is above the market close, and likely a lot higher than the open will be, if there are any shorts out there.
Warsaw was in absolute ruins after WW2. Hitler made a special effort to demolish the city, even intentionally dynamiting the royal palace, to help erase Polish culture. The city was little more than rubble. Through massive effort, the old city was rebuilt to almost exactly how it used to be, stone by stone, working from photographs. It took decades.
Most property (although not all) was confiscated after the war. The Poles didn’t ask for that, it was imposed upon them by the Soviets, and 44 years later, Poland finally became free again.
Everybody lost property. Virtually no one got it back, and the war is over.
FWIW, my in-laws lived for years in an apartment elsewhere in Poland that was owned by a Jewish family from NY. The Polish government, oddly, had this policy where they would pay the owners of buildings not confiscated for whatever reason. It was literally a couple of dollars a month.
Those whose property got destroyed or confiscated would have to wait in line like everyone else.
It’s all a bunch of smoke and mirrors. What they gave in wages, they took back in bonuses and stock awards.Their compensation package is essentially the same.
Speaking of the FBI, Newsweek is reporting that a Russian hacker is saying that the FBI offered him cash and US citizenship in exchange for false testimony that he hacked Clinton at Trump’s behest.
