The why they're doing it is the annoying part as far as I can tell and the actually doing it's pretty ok is fine in theory? But the why is really, really freaking annoying. Also I am not up to speed on the way they're going to change things so, yeah that could go wrong real quick. And probably will.

Hot Diggity! posted:Pretty sure Orange County would assume all debts and obligations That's the thing. The article points to Disney issuing tax exempt bonds. They do that for infrastructure just like any other municipality. Those obligations will pass to orange county and will be a massive burden on tax payers. Disney is also already paying property taxes, for all of the emergency services, and for all maintenance and upkeep of a bunch of what will become Orange county infrastructure. Disney is losing control. That's what this costs them. Orange and Osceola counties are gonna bear the cost.

Tax Disney to make up for it. What is Disney World going to do, move??? I realize that’s overly simplistic but if they can pass bills that favor Disney explicitly, they can pass revenue generating bills that target Disney too. Silly Burrito fucked around with this message at 20:01 on Apr 20, 2022 |

Problem Statement:quote:the City of Houston has experienced an increase of violent crimes due to the pandemic, social anxiety and economic uncertainty, open carry law and a strained criminal justice system resulting in a criminal backlog of cases. Solution: https://houston.novusagenda.com/agendapublic/CoverSheet.aspx?ItemID=25591&MeetingID=536 posted:establish a requirement for bars, nightclubs, sexually oriented businesses, convenience stores, and game rooms to install exterior security cameras providing video coverage from the exterior of the building to the property line...the ordinance requires that a camera owner or operator store video footage for no less than 30 days, and provide HPD with the footage within 72 hours of a request. Addressing the actual problem with no unintended consequences or constitutional issues, good job Houston!

Guess who has to dig up their social security card to get an enhaced ID? I thought my W2 had my full social on it but it, in fact, does not so now I gotta go to my living grandma's to get it. I haven't needed it since I first was hired by my state agency since HR doesn't need it again when you change job positions.

I haven't needed it since I first was hired by my state agency since HR doesn't need it again when you change job positions. If your normal ID has your current address on it you can get a new SS card mailed to you. I did that last May, assuming you know what your SSN is.

Relentlessboredomm posted:jfc leave the poor lgbtq children alone you monsters I remember asking my ultra conservative/fasc dad back in the early aughts why he was against gay marriage and his answer was "because it's a fight we can still win." They ultimately lost, but this is the same poo poo - a new social boogeyman to keep their base energized that's even more monstrous than their opposition to gay marriage.
