Explain Like I'm Five@lemmy.world•Explain Like I am a child ... taxes. I get you pay taxes on goods you buy everyday. And you get said goods by paying a one time fee. But how come on a home after being paid off I still pay taxes......
4·2 days agoI’ll answer in a different way from others. Property taxes, in theory, ensure that the property within a jurisdiction is being used productively. Since you have to pay for the land no matter what, it’s a good idea for you to do something with it that’s productive. Even homes - it ensures that someone is loving theee and not just letting a house be empty.
In practice, that breaks down - speculation, tax writeoffs, taxes that haven’t been adjusted in decades all mean that people/corporations don’t give a shit and let property rot.

A Boring Dystopia@lemmy.world•Tapatío hot sauce acquired by private equity firm
20·6 days agoTime to find your Latino grocer and pick a random one off the shelf until one hits. This one is close to tapatio - but a little less sharp. From Mexico and used by the families near me.
Replacing Jesus in a picture with yourself has got to cross some lines, right? Also, a lot of the shit in politics can be traced to the evangelical churches. Not all. But the super churches teaching you nothing more than prosperity gospel - the idea that if you’re rich it’s because you are devoted - are underpinning this evil behavior by republicans.
