Whatever Millennials are, it's in no small part because between Columbine on 4/20/1999 and 9/11/2001, a lot of us learned exactly how little loyalty the American system of power, posturing, and control deserved. It would not protect us. It would not share prosperity or liberty or safety with us.

A governor w/ an affordability mandate might consider universal free school lunches, which don't just feed more kids & relieve poor families' budgets, but also lower grocery prices for everyone. www.nber.org/papers/w29384
An NBER paper: "

We study the private market response to the National School Lunch Program, documenting economically meaningful spillovers to non-recipients. We focus on the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP), an expansion of the lunch program under the 2010 Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act. Under the CEP, participating schools offer free lunch to all students. We leverage both the staggered roll-out and eligibility criterion for the CEP, which is limited to schools where at least 40% of students participate in other means-tested welfare programs. We find that local adoption of the CEP causes households with children to reduce their grocery purchases, leading to a 10% decline in grocery sales at large retail chains. Retailers respond with chain-level price adjustments: chains with the most exposure lower prices by 2.5% across all outlets in the years following adoption, so that the program's welfare benefits propagate spatially. Using a stylized model of grocery demand, we estimate that, by 2016, the indirect benefit had reduced grocery costs for the median household by approximately 4.5%."

The GOPs problem is that Trump has run and governed exactly as men worry women will govern. He is an actual emotionally overwrought gossipy lightweight. If a woman is going to convince voters she can win, its probably going to be after the emperors clothes have come out dirty from the wash.

The article shared ends with a spokesman for the hit dogs, and boy is he hollering.
Veteran real estate and tax attorney Jeffrey
Golkin said the state was now using the new tax to "justify doing a dragnet."
He said the state and city finance departments need to implement systemic reforms and hire more staff to properly assess property values and collect more revenue without singling out a
specific subset of valuable homes.
"Everyone who owns a property has an obligation to pay taxes," he said. "The pied-à-terre tax shouldn't be used as a vehicle for these purposes. They should be generally finding tax cheats."

''The crackdown could compel some New York City homeowners to either pay the pied-à-terre tax or claim New York residency and forfeit lower income tax rates in other states where they own property, like Florida, Pennsylvania or North Carolina.

99% of the time, when someone accuses you of selective outrage, it’s a way of politically demobilizing you and shutting you up “Why are you angry about data centers instead of fast fashion” isn’t about making you care about fast fashion. It’s about shutting you up about data centers And visa versa

The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act is the BIGGEST housing bill in 30 years. And now, it's law! Despite Trump refusing to sign it, we got it done. More housing, lower costs, and disaster relief funding to help NJ rebuild. We're tackling the housing crisis and building an America we all can afford.
