I read two articles this morning that really caught my attention. No surprise, one in CA and the other in NY.
Utility companies in CA are proposing an additional tax not based on usage, but rather based on income. Households making more than $180k would be assessed $85-$125/month in addition to the usage fee.
NY is proposing a new regulation on restaurants that use coal or wood to fuel their ovens, particularly pizza joints. They will be forsed to install "scrubbers" to the exhaust systems AND have them regularly inspected by an engineer. I thing the cost is estimated a $130k for the equipment.
"This would never happen in Indiana" Think so? Just ask states like TX, UT, ID, etc. People are fleeing high-cost states and taking their politics with them. They are leaving due to taxes and overall cost of living, rarely for overreaching governments.
I don't think there are many on this forum, but if you plan to vote for Biden just because you don't like Trump's behavior, you are doing this country a disservice. If one thinks Biden is running the show, one is a damn fool. He's nothing more than a declining mouthpiece for the far-left.
I have no illusion that there is any hope for my FIL, but I am going to try to convince my own father. He despises Trump based solely on his verbal behavior. I urge everyone else to do the same if you know someone with similar political views.
