    LWN is an invaluable resource for keeping track of Linux kernel development.

    We're all techies here, right? Seriously, GitHub. The $7/mo or whatever it is has served me a hell of a lot better than my previous setup using a free GitLab deployment locally.

      Or you could just use BitBucket for free.

    Can't speak for other states, but Indiana has a property tax cap set as amendment in the state constitution. It passed around 2010 or so.

    "Property tax rates in Indiana are capped a maximum of 1% of value for residential, 2% of value for rental and farmland, and 3% of value for all other types (the actual rates may be higher, but the maximum paid after deductions is capped through a "circuit breaker" tax credit)."

    You don't own anything. If the government decides they want your house because it sits on land you can never own, they'll take it. If the government decides your car is unsafe, they take it.

    THis comment appears scattered throughout this topic. Are you proposing something different? A return to the state of nature, where anyone else with a bigger club, or faster legs could take your stuff?

    The only way to own something is if there's a community that respects your ownership. That requires some form of government which requires some sort of funding. The alternative, as Hobbes tells us, is nasty, brutish and short.
