I find it odd that the people who destroyed Governor Jim Florio for raising the State sales tax from 6 percent to 7 in 1990 are just fine with Jack Ass raising it from 7 to 10, because he's a Trump flunky.

"CNBC found that one Microsoft data center in Illinois received more than $38 million in data center sales tax exemptions but created just 20 permanent jobs."

In race to attract data centers, states can forfeit hundreds of millions of dollars in tax revenue to tech companies

Amazon, Meta and Google are among the beneficiaries of state tax exemptions for data centers that help power AI.

Do Boards of Directors want their brands associated with a pedo ring? This may explain Tech Bros' influencer Curtis Yarvin's sudden desire to leave the U.S.
In the animal kingdom the herd moves away once the prey is selected by hunters.

A judge in Chicago just found that ICE is violating a consent decree they signed over warrantless arrests.
Start arresting ICE agents and treat them the same way ICE is treating people they arrest.

Republican fascists have thrown out one lie after another to gaslight their OBBB. It is in fact the largest transfer of wealth to the 1% in U.S. history.
Moses Mike floated the lie that Democrats want rural hospital to close. JD may have to recycle the trope that Democrats eat dogs and cats.

Until then they should be ostracized. Don't speak with or to them; Don't serve them in restaurants. Turn your back when they appear in public. The psychological consequences of social exclusion will justify the harm that they mete out.

Trump's Gestapo is cavalier about shooting people because the onus is on U.S. taxpayers.
Years after trump and his cabal are jailed for war crimes and treason, American citizens will still pay these lawsuit settlements.
Fascists' own assets should be seized and liquidated to offset the costs.
