> The problem is Eumenes wants his school to be funded by everyone else's property tax.

Where did I say that? I said it'd be nice if one could route their state/property taxes to school of their choice. That seems pretty dang fair. Taxation without representation doesn't.

My local school district pays $17k/year per student ... how much more money do they need?

I'd love to redirect my property/state taxes away from my local failing public school system to the private school I send my kids.

By continuing its place as an economic zone for tourism and refugee resettlement.

Lol I was talking to a friend who is a web dev and works for a large company in the social gaming space. He referred to the "Civility" team which is just censorship and content moderation, plus sending mental health notifications if you've been playing/spending too much. I'd rather dig holes or shovel shit over working for a mobile game companies "civility" team.

Why the hell would a company pick vendors based on the sexuality or skin color of the owner or whatever?

America's poor use EBT/food stamps to buy massive amounts of junk food, including billions on soda. Those same people are almost 100% on ACA or state health insurance plans and milking the tax payer on treatment for obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. There is no way, in my mind, it is feasible to fund these lifestyles and provide the treatment for it. Its absolutely insane.

Okay, now apply those guidelines to vulnerable members of society who purchase groceries via EBT/food stamps. I don't think soda, ultra processed foods, or candy would count?

I don't think its antisemitic to divest from a country involved in a questionable war ... but thats not really a conversation for this thread. Fwiw, I disagree with it in general, because small town politics should be focused on small town issues, not active management of pension fund allocations based on political issues.

The woke city council in my town spends the first 15 mins of every meeting on land acknowledgements, followed by 30 mins on how to divvy out needles to the "unhoused" ... followed by divesting from Israeli companies in their pensions (a good cause, but it just adds to the irony).

Can they quit this "non profit" larp already? Is this some recruiting tactic to attract idealistic engineers or a plan to evade taxes, or both? Sam Altman was offering crypto-alms to third world people in exchange for scanning their eyeballs. There is no altruism here.
