Drones, yes.

Ieds, no.

I don't want a sizable population that knows how to blow shit up until the last possible minute before an invasion.

The simple answer is that the government teams who assess them can't know the exact market value unless the home they're assessing sells on the date that their assessment is meant to be for. There's no other way to obtain the market value other than selling the actual house.

What someone lists a home for is not the market value, what someone bought the home for 6 months ago is not the market value, and about a hundred other things from renos to rezoning to even a murder can change the market value of a property overnight.

So these teams use a "good enough" approach which statistically analyze based on property size, location, age, known building information, etc. and then combine this with historical sales data to try to get a decent number so that property taxes can be applied reasonably fairly.

So? What's the problem with that being the goal?

And I'd still like Trump to eat his own diaper.

Its really not, because a) not many 2016 Nissan leafs actually exist, and b) the early leaf batteries were absolutely garbage compared to any battery made in 2019 or later. They were air cooled and tiny to begin with, both of which led to much faster range degradation than were seeing with modern EV batteries. These new batteries are hitting multi hundred thousand miles without losing more than 10% of their almost 300 mile base range.

I'm personally at 100kkm on my 2021 kia ev, and it hasn't lost any noticeable range at all, I'm still getting sticker advertised range in the winter, and well over sticker in the summer.

There are options for letting even single parents raise their own children that do not require that parent to work.

There is always hope.

Money is far more important than principles. -Modern Christianity

Why does everyone want dual-parent working households?

Why not let parents raise their own kids?

Better? Define better...

There was still plenty of poverty in the 90s, and the violence situation was actually worse than it is currently.

Are you saying that Monkeys aren't monkeys? Or that we aren't greedy? Or that Monkeys aren't greedy?

It's absolutely accurate, go walk through a mall, see how many people buying shit they don't need just to show off to their friends.

These companies are going to "announce" that they're reshoring to the US, then drag every single heel they have until Trump leaves office.

There's no way they actually bring the factories back, just to get screwed over completely when the tariffs are lifted by the next president.
