Heather Humphreys won’t say if she paid an anti-vacancy tax on her unused residential property.

Humphreys has left the property unoccupied for the last 14 years, during which time the vacant homes tax was introduced.

“The problem with billionaires isn’t that they’re hoarding money that would otherwise pay for a Scandinavian social utopia. It’s that their money has become a source of wildly distorted political power that allows a few men with extremist views to wreak havoc on the rest of us.”

MM refusing to do anything on climate shows that he puts disproportionate weight on the opinions of lobbyists for data centers, car manufacturers, dairy, etc cause support for government action on climate change actually unites people across the country..so who is he talking about?
