The Last Man on Earth To Speak His Language (axios.com)
From a report: An elderly man in Peru named Amadeo Garcia Garcia is the last person on earth to speak his native language, Taushiro, the NY Times' Nicholas Casey reports in a remarkable long-read. A combination of disease and exploitation have led the Taushiro, a tribe of hunter-gatherers in the Amazon, to the verge of extinction. In the last century, at least 37 languages have disappeared in Peru alone, lost in the steady clash and churn of national expansion, migration, urbanization and the pursuit of natural resources.
the only people who will see their taxes go up due to property taxes are those in places where property taxes are over 10 grand a year. meaning the rich people! i mean, i thought the democrats wanted the rich to pay their fair share, and now that they have to they are spinning it (big shock)
I live in NY, most peoples taxes are not over 10 grand, most peoples taxes are under 8 grand. if you got a beef with the cost of your property taxes, its not the feds you need to be mad at its your local state officials who allowed the property taxes to get that high to begin with
have you seen my sig? there are many others like it but none that are the same
im not rich by any means. and im going to save about 2 grand a year under the new plan. over 80% of americans are going to save money.
No they aren't. It just means we're going to have to borrow more which will need to be repaid later. They didn't cut medicare or defense or social security which account for around 3/4 of the federal budget so all they did was incur additional debt, most likely to burden future generations. Collectively we save nothing and any "savings" you realize will simply have to be picked up by someone else somewhere down the line.
