It doesn’t eliminate property tax on commercial and rental properties. The counties can set the millage rates and will increase them to make up for the reduction elsewhere.

Also the proposals thus far have not eliminated school taxes which account for 40-50% of the property taxes.

They are also talking about increasing the state sales tax from 6% to 12% to offset the revenue.

There is a lot of smoke and mirrors going on here.

All in all I think this is very unlikely to pass the Florida legislature and less likely to pass the amendment vote with the required 60%.

It is being posted to make people here look like idiots. This goes on all the time. Some troll posts something that people want to hear. A bunch of people get excited and cheer it with no idea that it isn’t real. This crap should result in instant perma bans.

How do you know he wasn’t? The swearing in does not have to be a public event. Several Presidents have been inaugurated in private.

Not even mediocre. The whole program has been meandering aimlessly since the start of the year.

There are satellites that orbit East to West. It just takes more fuel to get them into orbit. Likewise with polar orbits.

Going from West to East is prograde, not retrograde. The Earth rotates to the East. The sun and stars appear to go from East to West when viewed from the Earth because we are moving the opposite direction. Satellites typically travel eastward because they gain speed from the rotation of the Earth. For orbital physics the velocity needed is independent of the rotation of the Earth, not relative to it. So the starting speed of the Earth’s rotation aids a prograde orbit and hampers a retrograde orbit.

While the use of eminent domain may be imminent, it is still not imminent domain. I suppose imminent eminent domain may be correct though.

Exactly - If someone is willing to pay $26 million for land that is worth $2.6 million, then they are also very willing to pay $2.6 million as the fair market value and $10+ million in bribes to get politicians to push eminent domain.

His first few words are wildly incorrect, but other than that it makes a lot of sense.
