Bessent’s hubris will crash around him when E.U. countries , one by one in a domino effect decide not to subsidize United States ability to pay its debts.

And I think my favourite part of this vid is where Kevin explains that property taxes in Halifax are a tax on the poor to subsidize the lifestyle of the middle and upper classes.
Hey. Hi. Hello.

For last year's Halloween Special, I tried to explain why Halifax always seems to be broke and why the value per the amount we pay in taxes seems so... meh.

In the latest HFX By Bike, I make good on a promise to address viewer concerns and feedback.

LRS I have been forced to subsidize Elon Musk's lifestyle against my will for far, far too long.

When he faces justice, my tax dollars should not be used to support him living in a jail cell waiting for him to die of natural causes.

except he's lying? he literally just laid the foundation for US investors to get rich off CDN taxpayers by forcing through 'priority' projects owned by Americans. eg, BC will subsidize US-owned LNG projects, despite public opposition that seemed likely to shut those down.

Simultaneously, Premier Ford, for example, is using public funds to subsidize private clinics instead of using them to provide greater access to healthcare in public hospitals. Additionally, he has implemented a housing policy that will see countless people evicted.

The answer is simple - because new development generates costs for cities, from sidewalks to underground utilities, and cities need to be made whole.

Either homeowners pay or the tax base as a whole pays.

So the question then becomes - why should the tax base subsidize other homebuyers?

This is what makes the world magic. It’s also why I speak out about protecting their environment. Big oil has lied to us since the 60s. They knew what they were doing to the environment and did it anyway. We subsidize their fortunes. It’s why they buy politicians.

Amazingly, it is expensive because we subsidize cars, not rails. If driving had to pay the full cost of its road surface and capture even 1% of the externalized pollution, or if we just equalized the subsidies, the bus would stop being an option.

I subsidize my Almond Joys with almonds. One extra almond with each big bite? One and a half extra almonds with each small bite? So many possibilities.

As a Chevy enjoyer, Camaro shouldn’t return. Not anytime soon.

Chevrolet should make a 2&4 door Chevelle lift back to compete with the Charger. It would be so much better engineered. And the police contracts would help subsidize it.
The return of the Camaro keeps being mooted, but there's no official word from Chevy as yet. Nevertheless, a comeback might be on the cards.

Not quite everyone but probably 65% of people in outstate MN are rooting for ICE. There are some blue areas in the iron range, some in the south, but by and large the outstate hates the twin cities. But don’t remind them that we subsidize their existence, they will cry.

Why should I subsidize groups and companies that continually work against my values and interests? It's not for him to decide, the voters decided and he fulfilled our right to representative democracy.

Why do taxpayers subsidize billion-dollar sports franchises supposedly operating in the free market? #Broncos theconversation.com/broncos-say-...
Broncos say their new stadium will be ‘privately financed,’ but ‘private’ often still means hundreds of millions in public resources
Rarely are sports stadiums financed entirely with private funds.

The other major flaw of IRA it was all about commercialization when people wanted affordability. One way to used Evs on the road and target people with lower credit scores Lower the interest rate. Could save them a lot. More sustainable way to subsidize EVs. Also negates people like Pierre.

Maybe we should all write to the IRS to tell them we're unsubscribing and why, like I did when I cancelled DirecTV after Jan. 6 because they were forcing me to subsidize Fox News in order to get the channels I wanted.

Reminder: UNRWA is a UN agency that does life-saving work. Canadians fund it with our tax dollars. This is Israel giving all UNRWA donors a giant middle finger while we help to subsidize their brutal occupation.

Absolutely. Bring back the DST, introduce a fiercer version of the GDPR, subsidize domestic options using the tax and fines collected. Tech oligarchs need to be reined in hard, they will undermine us even if we let them do whatever.

"subsidize private real estate developers with Federal funding"

that could mean a lot of things, many of which would be objectively awesome.

Like removing single family zoning from cities with severe housing shortages, or funding for builders that include low income housing.

The future of work is changing. And we have to evolve with it or fall behind. That's why we're proud to introduce: Serfdom dot AI. Our platform allows SERFs (solo entrepreneur revenue facilitators) to rent affordable housing that they can subsidize by picking up work with Baron, our AI assistant

Please do not vote to subsidize ICE, not one penny for the lying, racist regime.
