If you're buying up derelict properties, renovating them, and then selling them, you should get an exemption from property taxes entirely. Many communities already offer such exemptions, and even if they don't, you're getting a de facto exemption as it is because the houses aren't worth shit until you fix them up.

  • I tried them a couple of weeks ago for the first time. A burger each for me and my mom and we split one order of fries and we each got a fountain drink. $44, so two orders of fries would have taken us over the $50 line. And the food was absolutely nothing special, although it was at least a small step up from McDonald's. For bonus points, my dementia-riddled brain couldn't figure out how to use the soda dispenser machine.

    I invented my own runic script and would write all the German I was supposed to be learning on the covers of my notebooks, hidden in drawings of monoliths or spaceships or whatever. I would have these notebooks on the floor during tests and I would get perfect scores. Now I don't speak a fucking word of German except for what little I remember from Nightcrawler in the X-men comic books. Unglaublich!
