    $78.50 per vehicle, no state income tax. But how are your property taxes? Oy vey...

    2200 bucks this year, house is worth 500-ish.

    Triple and a bit more than half

    $150 per vehicle per year

    4% income tax with talk of raising it

    7 - 8% sales tax. Much more on cigars

    What state?

    On another vehicle-related note, in Pennsylvania it costs 145% more to register a pickup truck than a car/SUV. Truck - $110/yr., Car - $45/yr.
    I do not know the state's reasoning behind the difference.

    ETA: What does vehicle registration cost in your state? And is it annual, or one-time?

    5x yours….🤬😖😞

    What state?

    I went to a casino today and found a Trump built turnstile. It took us a while to get around it, but we managed.

    Been a long to since gas only went up pennies at a time around here. It's usually more like 10-33 cents, it does sometimes go down a penny.

    figures

    If a character uses an iPhone in a Hollywood movie, they probably aren’t a bad guy. A movie prop manager told the Wrap Drinks podcast that she couldn’t allow a character to look at her iPhone while driving drunk, or Apple “will never work with me again.” The comments echo a 2020 Vanity Fair interview with Rian Johnson, director of the whodunnit Knives Out, who said Apple are extremely clear that “bad guys cannot have iPhones on camera.” “Every single filmmaker who has a bad guy in their movie that’s supposed to be a secret wants to murder me right now,” he added. Apple’s guidelines say its products should be “shown only in the best light” and cannot be used “in a disparaging manner,” People reported.

    I’ve read several headlines today that have said “Salmonella Outbreak Linked to Eggs…”

    Well no shít Sherlock. It’s always been that way. Eat a raw egg you run the risk of salmonella. I guess the next huge breaking headline will be that raw chicken is bad for you. Crooked ass corporate food owners creating “shortages” to maintain higher prices. One week it’s a shortage of wings so they raise the price. Next week it’s thighs. Next time it’s breasts. I dispatch quite a few of my own damn chickens and every one of them has two legs, two wings, two thighs, and two breasts. Shortages my big ole ass

    It's also a way to try to get people to stop buying locally grown organic food, and put small farmers out of business.

    Do all 4 of you actually think that? Because if most of you do then maybe I'll consider it...feels like a stretch amd I like a good conspiracy.

    Yes. I'd also like to know more. Is it proven that "big farming" is stomping on "small farming" in this heinous manner?

    I don't know where to look for confirmation on this. Snopes?

    More generally, organic food is going to have more diseases in it of course, since there's supposed to be no harsh chemicals killing all the potential diseases. That's why Chipotle keeps having outbreaks just as an example. I'd rather risk it, and eat food that hasn't been sprayed with a bunch of stuff I can't pronounce and don't know the long term consequences of. I don't believe that there are secret meetings taking place or anything like that, but If I was the CEO of Cargill, it would be pretty awesome if I could add to my holdings by buying farms at a discount after that farmer has to cull everything, because people are easily scared.

    LOL....store bought strawberrys, blackberrys, etc...soak in water, vinegar and baking soda for 5-8 minutes. See what floats.

    In general, I believe the government does not want to allow any farmer to sell any product bypassing it's rules, regulations, inspections, and approvals, especially dairy and meat products. In PA, this is playing out in court in the case of the Dept. of Agriculture versus Amos Miller, an Amish farmer who produces and sells raw milk and meats through a private cooperative, without undergoing DoAg inspections. His farm has been raided multiple times by the state, his products confiscated (even products not subject to inspection, nor part of the warrant justifying the raid), and he has been fined hundreds of thousands of dollars.

    I believe the PA DoAg is using the Amos Miller situation to frighten and discourage other, smaller, producers in the state in order to gain their compliance. I believe the state wants full control over the food supply, and small, organic and raw farmers are a thorn in their foot that grates and irritates them.

    If you search Amos Miller, you will find two people got sick from consuming unpasteurized egg nog purchased from him. Everyone who is part of the cooperative understands there is some small risk from raw milk, but when no one ever gets sick from any food that is produced in a regulated, inspected facility, or from eating food that has been approved by the DoAg, then maybe they will have some high ground to stand on. Until then, I believe they are just trying to intimidate small farms through over-reaching tactics coupled with punitive fines meant to put the subject out of business.

    A percentage of the vehicle's assessed value based on MSRP. 10 percent depreciation subtracted per year. This year, it cost me about 1600 bucks to register my 2 cars.

    I'm just about 1800 for mine this year. I should not have bought them around my birthday...

    My 3/4 ton pickup is around $50 and the car is $27, but I do have a yearly property tax, it's about $400 for 2 pickups, a car, two boats, motors, and trailers, nothing newer than 2014. New stuff is quite a bit higher.
