Property tax revenue seem highly unlikely when the DC operators have been given enormous tax cuts.

You’re doing a lot of heavy lifting with this word colonist. The mass graves are either “imported criminal” (being in debt was a crime) or slave populations. And it was much more a…

And? It’s not like those of us on lifetime-prescriptions have any real choice in the matter. Oh, there’s consequences? One of those is an almost universal weight gain measured in t…
