Hearing kids talk about not being able to focus long enough to watch a movie or tv show is a bummer.

Homemaker or not, marriage promotes economic stability because of tying folks outcomes together. As an edifice, the State likes that a spouse probably steps in before aid programs or whatever.

News@lemmy.world•Washington state progressives strike big business tax break from 'millionaire’s tax'
2·28 days agoArticle VII, Sec I of the state constitution says
“All taxes shall be uniform upon the same class of property within the territorial limits of the authority levying the tax…”
So taxes on things need to be uniform (so, like, 2.5% on ALL property or ALL Doritos).
The voters approved a bracketed state income tax back in the day, but a lawsuit from it basically said “income is property.” So they could probably do a flat tax on income, but those are stupid.
But that same article also says “All taxes shall be uniform upon the same class of property within the territorial limits of the authority levying the tax…” and pure value doesn’t constitute a different class.
That’s basically what I remember backed up by two searches on Google, so sorry if I’m wrong.

But yeah, of course they don’t do it: billionaires can’t be good people.
Wonder what the particulars of that were. Usually plant-based diets give high volume, low odor.

Sorta, but that’s not usually from burning the fuel. Ethanol attacks rubber in older engines, so that can be a source of gunk.
But usually it’s because ethanol absorbs water and small engines often sit longer with fuel in them. Also, when gas with ethanol evaporates, it leaves a varnish that can clog stuff up.
Also, it has more oxygen available and can burn hotter, which is rough for some small engines, especially air-cooled ones.
