Illegal aliens are not your constituents. They can't vote. Or can they.

Big accomplishment. Take a victory lap, please.

WSJ: The California Air Resources Board is now forcing Disneyland to electrify the kiddy cars in its miniature motorway Autopia attraction....

In 2024 CARB dunned Disney $56,250 for allegedly failing to obtain proper certification for modified gas engines in its mini race-cars that run on a track. Never mind that these aren’t real cars and contribute almost nothing to pollution or CO2 emissions. To satisfy CARB, Disney has agreed to electrify the fleet by early next year, which will require redesigning the ride at who knows what cost.

Someone show this to ATL and explain that this is a face-eating leopards party example. As opposed to everything he posts and thinks he's clever.

I hate Bette Middler and I wish she'd get deported.

you're also not American. There is nothing more anti-Capitalistic than that.

When I say deported, I actually mean something else.

Progressives’ yearslong quest to tax wealth failed its biggest test in California.

That doesn’t mean the idea is going away.

Proponents in California have already floated putting another wealth tax on the ballot in 2028, saying they have learned important lessons from this year’s unsuccessful attempt to marshal voter support for a levy on billionaires. Meanwhile, the Democratic Party—which broadly favors tax increases to fill budget holes, reduce wealth disparities and fund progressive priorities—posted big wins in statehouses and gained control of the U.S. House and Senate.

Some tax supporters saw a silver lining in the California vote failure: It came close, even after wealthy opponents outspent proponents 10 to 1 in a heated campaign. Backers vowed to keep up the fight.

...

Sen. Ron Wyden (D., Ore.), who is in line to chair the Senate Finance Committee next year, has repeatedly proposed legislation in recent years that would impose 23.8% annual tax on billionaires’ unrealized capital gains. Each time he introduces it, the bill attracts more co-sponsors—a sign Democrats are getting less squeamish about the idea, a staffer said.

Wyden said the measure responds in part to the ballooning U.S. budget deficit. “Congress will not be able to fix the budget and pass a bold, progressive agenda without taking new steps to ensure billionaires pay a fair share,” he said in a statement....

The concept also faces potential legal hurdles. The Constitution imposes complicated and unresolved requirements around “direct taxes,” a term without a clear definition but one that some scholars believe could undercut wealth taxes. The 16th Amendment was ratified to allow income taxes despite those requirements, but it might not enable levies on wealth....

Emmanuel Saez, a University of California, Berkeley, economist who helped draft the tax proposal, said he’s already back at work looking for a possible path forward. At the state level, he expects a future effort to build a broader coalition—rather than a single union—and to propose an annual tax at a lower rate of, say, 1%.

Of course they'll be back.

It was either:

1. A revenue generator.
2. A punishment on billionaires.

It was presented as a revenue generator. The numbers were clearly incorrect. The bill was poorly worded. Tons of people were against it. Even Newsom was against it.

Easy no vote.

They don't believe in it.

and they could change that number to any level they wanted. They were coming after me and Haighter next.
