jeffw@lemmy.worldMto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•If my county passes a new tax for um lets say a new jail. They staff it and build it and everything with the tax money. How come it seems the tax is there forever? Why not get rid of it when built?132·6 days agoIn addition to staffing that other people mentioned, your town isn’t paying for the jail up front. They are issue a decades-long bond and paying off construction over 30+ years.
Edit: then after the bond is paid off, they sneakily move the tax to a general fund for other services

jeffw@lemmy.worldMto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•I’m very good at math and would like health insurance. What is the easiest option?24·9 days agoThere’s no easy path to money. The higher the pay/skillset expected, the more demands in the interview process. It’s probably easiest to get an entry level job without a ton of math expectations

jeffw@lemmy.worldMto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How Will We Know If The Trump Tariffs Were A Good Idea?12·22 days agoI’ll take a stab at a “serious” answer, although be cautioned that this thinking is irrational.
If they worked, we would see manufacturers almost instantly beginning construction on US factories, opening new ones and reopening shuttered plants. We would see trade “balance” in terms of imports and exports with every trading partner we have.

Maybe the “lashes out” could be explained by sensory sensitivity (depending on the scenario and what you mean by “lashing out”), but that doesn’t excuse bigotry.
Edit: also, what makes you say she is “mentally younger”? Autism and ADHD don’t stunt maturity in and of themselves
jeffw@lemmy.worldMto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How do I stop having expectations at the workplace?1·1 month agoI can’t tell if this entire account is attempting to mock people with 0 self awareness or if you actually have no self awareness
Or, just trolling for downvotes?
This almost sounds like BPD-type behavior. There’s nothing about mental illness that makes you a bad human being, but you should still seek treatment.
