With that in mind, how would you describe the way you (and plenty of others) routinely carry on regarding the weekend deaths in Chicago?
There were about 15.

I find it hard to believe that only 15 people died in Chicago all weekend.

Objectively - how is this winning and how is this under control?? * REMEMBER - people testing positive today contracted the virus up to 10 days previously

I wonder what is in the Mary Trump book that the Trump family wants so desperately to keep from the public?

All family's are dysfunctional... so that can't be it.

Hmm

She did mention she knows how they conduct finances - think that is it?

If Cuomo didn’t put all the sick people in the nursing homes with the old people, those stats would be much lower

Trump saying anything about minimum wage is completely hollow. He's all over the place in this topic.

New York doesn’t have that many deaths anymore. You know why? Cuomo killed all the old people already

Far fetched, but imagine this. A better armed, better equipped civilization comes to your town and makes you leave your home. Pack up your stuff and go to an area that they say is "OK" for you to live. Wouldn't you consider your home stolen?

You kind of missed the entire point.

Then we should give it back and leave. That includes you, too.

Get packing.

“Gov. Ron DeSantis said during a Tampa press conference Thursday that the 18- to 35-year-old age group accounts for the state’s greatest number of new cases. As of Sunday’s update, the median age for all cases since March was 39.”

These people aren’t at risk

You can’t blame them for wanting to live their lifes again

[Soxfanguy]

10k new cases but only 29 deaths

Hey look 25000. Would have probably been 40000 but lot of people got booted out of the thread

You don't pay yearly property taxes? We do in NY.

With all these schools going mostly remote, we may see an uptick in the trades.

No I pay yearly property taxes, I’m saying if I only pay sales tax once, why do I have to keep paying property?

When did I ever say we, or any other conquering nation, has to give back land? I'm sure you'll find I didn't if you go back. I simply said the land was stolen. Plain and simple. What you want to read into it is your choice and not my problem.

Ah. Misunderstood. Basically just another way to suck $ from your pockets. The Governor's vacations don't pay for themselves.

Property taxes are the government's reminder that you only get to keep the property you own if you keep paying the government.

Stop - just stop propagating this false information!!!!!!


Everyone is at risk - and please, do not "find" a graph to prove your point as currently, the number of people being admitted to the hospital (sick) is around the average age of 39.....

In all honesty we're all living on "rented" land.

You continue to miss the entire point of my post.

I did not see that yet but I am not shocked.

And no, it still isn't the same. When you buy property you "know" that being a property owner comes with certain responsibilities. Such as taxes. If you choose not to pay those taxes than the blame is on you. I've always seen taxes. state/Federal/local. as membership dues. If you want to be a member, you pay your dues. If not. You don't get the benefits of membership. I'm sure others will disagree but it's just my opinion. Sorry that it offends you so much.

Weren't you the one in a previous post that told us all to get out and move somewhere else? That's why I said that. If you want to go that route of arguing about property rights and expecting to have to pay them, I could argue the more basic one that has been around much longer than renting lands from governments, you must defend what you claim as yours or else someone bigger, badder and stronger will come around and take it.

And your opinion doesn't offend me at all. Just because someone responds to someone else doesn't mean they are offended, it just means they might disagree or have a different perspective, its okay. I really didn't think my comment was that off pudding, if it was it wasn't meant to be.

I was just pointing out the hypocrisy in posts I thought you made a couple weeks ago saying everyone should leave America for the Native Americans and go back to where they came from. If I got the wrong poster I apologize. If it is you than I am paraphrasing you but you're essentially saying its okay for tribes to war with each other and steal land, but not a tribe from another land.
