Some select fees the City is proposing: Want to replace driveway? Inspection Fee $1,200. Want to re-tap sewer? Inspection fee $2,500 Have a tree? Inspection fee $600 Plan review for tiny home? $2,300 Shit is wildly expensive now. Cheaper to see a Doctor!
Some may argue CBS/Paramount leadership had a fiduciary responsibility to shut down a $40,000,000/year money losing enterprise. Their stock price is down 77% since 2021, and shareholders/executives and BOD should applaud this move, should have been made earlier.

And you wonder why Hispanics are voting REP at record rates? They don't like to be stereotyped as hotel maids, crop harvesters and dish washers. The DEMs don't even try to hide the racism anymore.
Hunter Biden: "How do you think your hotel room gets cleaned? How do you think you have food on your f****** table? Who do you think washes your dishes?"
“…the biggest gains were made not by the traditional liberal opposition, but by a gaggle of new parties that drew younger voters with stridently nationalist messages. Among them was Sanseito, a populist party led by a politician inspired by President Trump.”

Home Depot, $HD, founder Ken Langone: "Initially, my concern was I don't like tariffs. However, I think — damn it, give Trump credit. His instincts are good. Some of these things need to be fixed."

Of all people, Joe Scarborough from MSNBC asks why the DEMs incl Biden/Kamala/Garland sat in the Epstein Files for four years. If there was anything damaging to DJT, zero chance it doesn’t get released.
Credit where credit is due, Joe Scarborough asks a simple question of a Democrat congressman, if Epstein matters so much to Democrats now, why didn’t they do anything for the past four years with the case while they were in power?
I’m guessing shutting down NPR will be similar to an area restaurant closing. Folks will say “oh no” but ask them the last time they tuned in, it will be months even years. If NPR is a viable commercial entity, it will survive with private funding.
Stunned 28% DEMs aren’t paying attention.
