Property taxes force homeowners to rent their properties in the first place: in 40 years of not renting your property taxes will confiscate it.


No they don't.


At some point high prices should force companies to move their operations, hence price should drop.


Instead of trying to buy Greenland from wealthy socialist Europeans, Trump should buy some tropical islands, like Madagascar for instance.

California can move it’s operations to these cheaper places.


You should always respect people who was there first. When money talks, bs takes the bus: new tenants are needed to support bankrupt pension system anyway.

Even international law admits that.

High cost of real estate should force many people to sell their homes and leave to cheaper places.


File system support is changed, newer file system is the way better. Try LibreOffice, it’s free.


APFS came out earlier, and I'm already using it on Mojave. Is that what you're talking about?


Upgrading is a mess, if you for instance replaced a disk. It’s clearly a software design and such move is unnecessary. I wouldn’t upgrade unless I really have to. It’s painful.


Exactly


You are abusing other people’s websites without intention to buy something. It’s a lot like stealing.


Just wow. Don't create throwaways to comment, especially ridiculous comments that are objectively false.

Not every website is selling something, and there is no good faith way in the world to think of saving the result of an HTTP call from a service designed to serve up HTTP calls "abusing."


So... Google are the world's most successful criminal syndicate?


Probably he or she was black listed on Facebook


It’s no Russia, but Russian gov’t. Russian population can’t throw this regime out. This government is a lot like Saudis royal family.


Russia, unlike Saudi Arabia, is a democracy. They have elections. If the Russian people wanted to throw the regime out, they would have.

Yes, you could make a good argument about propaganda, freedom of the press, and the unfortunate things that happen to leaders of opposition to Putin. But that is all to make the the population doesn't want to throw the regime out, not that it can't.


Iran an NK both have elections. As for Russia, it casually ignores evidence of election fraud (as in literally throwing in stacks of ballots by local officials caught on camera). Also the official vote results in some especially democratic regions show over 99% support for the putin party, would you claim this result to be possible in real elections?


> Russia, unlike Saudi Arabia, is a democracy. They have elections.

Elections alone aren't the sole definition of a full democracy. Hell, even Iraq under Saddam had elections...


Russia is an authoritarian state, that imitates some democratic institutions. Transit of power via elections is impossible.

Source: I'm Russian.


An election where the public isn't free to get a real opposition candidate on the ballot, isn't a real election. Even if the rest of it was remotely free which it is not, it doesn't matter if you're offered Hobson's choice.

Putin is a dictator.

Russia is a dictatorship.


And if all of the new edits to the constitution will pass (they will) he will be call The Supreme Ruler.


A democracy with things that happen to anyone who runs against Putin and anyone who speaks out against Putin is not a democracy.
