      Tax avoidance. The 15 minute video on the tweet is about bourgies not having to pay taxes in Florida, and working class people having to pay a higher percentage of taxes.

      I hope the bunkers are waterproof and their air intakes are somehow high enough above the flood plane not to get inundated and not visible enough to be blocked by angry peasants

      Taking down stuff like oil rigs and cell tower base stations would be more effective.

        But not nearly as cathartic

          I, for one, enjoy the concept of rich powerful people no longer being able to issue orders because the material base that allowed that to happen no longer exists.

          So instead nothing happens and they stew in their own arrogance and narcissism.

    It’s about to get a lot worse if the Homestead Exemption expansion gets passed. Local governments are going to be fucked tax wise, so either we’re looking at no services or massive sales tax increases.
