Global warming, pollution etc. are all absolutely happening, man made, and desperately need fixing.

Green ‘science’ is often total crap, pushed by someone with an agenda, that ends up undermining the real science spreading doubt, blaming the wrong people and getting in the way of fixing the issue.

Property taxes are based on home values which have doubled over the last ten years, this is just relief from that. People are being priced out of their homes right now. If there was a state income tax instead revenue would have fallen due to wages not keeping up with inflation.

Could you imagine something like a hurricane evacuation if everyone owned only electric cars?

If a reply to you is non federated, then you get a notification you can neither clear nor read. That little ‘1’ will be there forever.

If companies were looking for applicants there, it is clear discrimination.

You should still vote, it just doesn’t matter who for. The number of ‘Not Trump’ votes still counts the same.
