pretty sure HAMAS also had Israeli funding, based on statements from their leaders.

I don't give a shit about Palestinians, I just don't want to be involved and what is basically just another one of the pointless wars that happens in the Middle East.

this but unironically, except for the part about separating the people from the nation.

nations are assholes, always separate the people from the nation and judge them by themselves.

I don't know what to tell you except that I know several rich people who do this as part of their long-term investment strategy. they buy the property, let it appreciate, and either sell it at its increased value or take property loans out against it. the properties are traded just like stocks. Oftentimes they might pay to renovate the property to increase its value, but at the end of the day what matters to them is the ownership of the property and not whether or not it's being rented.

if you own property, either your house or any other kind of real property, I highly suggest you familiarize yourself with the property tax rules for your county and State.

if you referring to california, I'm not sure what you're talking about. https://www.yolocounty.org/government/general-government-departments/assessor/assessment-information/when-is-property-reappraised government websites clearly state that California real property (as opposed to personal property) is basically only reappraised when there's a transfer of ownership. the rest of the time, the property taxes can only increase at a maximum of 2% a year. There's no distinction between primary residence and income property.

If you're referring to nevada, read the rest of my post you dumb idiot. taxes can only go up 8% per year for income properties.

the United States doesn't have a federal property tax, property taxes are paid to the state or county, and each state/county makes their own rules.

the links video didn't provide any additional information, but it does sound like the state gets kickbacks for every child adopted out of the foster care system. https://www.everycrsreport.com/reports/R43025.html

in a world where the Foster system is not very populated, it would make sense that government Spooks would kidnap children in order to receive the kickbacks. however, doing a cursory search seems to show the foster care system is actually overpopulated, so the scheme doesn't make sense to me. https://whhspatriotpress.com/26061/news/the-foster-care-system-experiences-overpopulation/

not true.

it depends on the state and county. for instance, in California, the property value is assessed when the property is bought. this means there are rich boomers sitting on houses they've owned for 30 plus years, paying taxes on the price they paid for it 30 years ago rather than the current market value.

conversely, in Nevada, the property is reassessed every year, but the amount paid in taxes can only go up by 8%, 3% if the house is owned by the person living in it. barring any sort of housing crash, this effectively means that taxes are increased for property owners by 3% or 8% every year.

Not sure about the whole "billionaires colluding" part of this, but the essence of this post is true. In the last decade, housing has appreciated much faster than the cost of property tax. So much so that it has been better investment to hold onto property and keep it clean than it is to be stuck with bad renters. Combine this with the explosion of airbnb and the like, and suddenly the market demand for housing contains almost as many landlords as it does people looking for a home. Thus the high prices.

A 2008 market correction is in order, but the chances of that happening are iffy. My recommendation is to apply a special tax to vacant properties so that the cost of ownership is high enough to warrant actively finding tenants.

be it marketers, government shills, or rich tech bros giving into the sunk cost fallacy, there are plenty of people begging for regular consumers to buy electric cars.

I'm still waiting on the battery issue, which is not remotely fixed. if it had the convenience and privacy of a combustion engine, I would definitely take an electric car as electric motors are faster and more efficient in general.

The batteries are just God awful and charging stations have the infrastructure to deny you charging because you don't have enough good citizen points.

"constitutional rights", I really don't like this term. it's too easily interpreted as "rights granted by the Constitution", when in truth it is "rights protected by the Constitution". they are, after all, inalienable rights we have for existing.

I feel like people should be using the term "constitutionally protected rights".
