From Newsweek:
Map Shows States Baby Boomers Are Fleeing From
Ian Kennedy, a data scientist at JBREC, created a chart identifying where the highest property taxes in the country were in 2023, the latest data made available by the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey.
In the dark red areas, property taxes exceeded 2 percent of a home’s value. In the beige areas, property taxes were less than 0.5 percent of a home’s value. Tax rates are set by municipalities and local governments and vary by town, city, school district, county and state.
According to JBREC analysis, American homeowners paid the highest property taxes on the East Coast, especially in New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, where rates were between 1.75 percent and 2 percent of a home’s value or higher.
Kennedy and his colleagues then compared property tax rates across the country with migration trends involving Americans aged 65 and older, finding that states with lower property taxes were attracting the highest number of out-of-state newcomers.
“High property tax rates in New York, New Jersey, and Illinois—among others—limit in-migration [the process through which residents of one country permanently relocate to a new area of that same country] among the 65+ population,” Kennedy told Newsweek.
…
“Retirees on the East Coast generally opt to stay on the East Coast. The same is true out West. For example, in 2023, roughly 3.5 percent of Nevada’s 65+ population moved from out-of-state during the prior year,” he said.
“Among those out-of-state movers, roughly 36 percent moved from California. Likewise, about 3.3 percent of Delaware’s 65+ population moved from out of state during the prior year, with roughly 50 percent of those movers coming from New Jersey, Maryland, or Pennsylvania,” Kennedy added.

This is not good. It’s rac1st and unfair. To level the playing field, we need to award those of lesser means some sort of credit or stipend. A Congressional committee needs to form to hire consultants to investigate a way to appropriate tax dollars into a fund for distribution awarded by treasury appointees hired on DEI standards.
Jessica Aber was 43

NEW YORK (AP) — An Orthodox Jewish passenger says a United Airlines pilot forcibly removed him from an airplane bathroom while he was experiencing constipation, exposing his genitalia to other flyers during a flight from Tulum, Mexico, to Houston.
Yisroel Liebb, of New Jersey, described his trip through allegedly unfriendly skies in a federal lawsuit this week against the airline and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, whose officers he said boarded the plane upon landing and took him away in handcuffs.
Liebb and a fellow Orthodox Jewish traveler said the pilot made disparaging remarks about their faith. They said they were forced to miss a connecting flight to New York City while U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers paraded them through an airport terminal, placed them in holding cells and searched their luggage.

All the abandoned mines in NJ. Pretty cool seeing the dates on some of these, early 1700s on some of them. Wild.
Glen Ridge, North Arlington, etc. Wish this had some overlays, would be fun to see what’s waiting to fall into the gaping maw of the earth.
I mean, if you are constipated, you could probably hold it for the flight? That said, nobody wants to spend 20 minutes in an airplane bathroom, hell, the last couple of flights I’ve been on, the bathrooms were covered in piss.
gaping maw…
Good name for a band.
Plane gotta land.
Cannot land plane with person in bathroom.
Can’t keep plane in air forever cause someone has the shits.
Asked to leave toilet before plane runs out of fuel.
Your arrogance doesn’t matter. Everyone else’s life does.
Stick a cork in your butt and get out.
Or if you are too f’n unhealthy to fly, f’n drive. Or stay home.
It’s not a right. Nor should you have the right to inconvenience others, or jeopardize an aircraft for your own personal anything.
It’s at team sport, and if you can’t play, don’t want to play, or are just an a-hole, don’t get on a plane.
waiting to hear from Ackman on this incident too. He offers full protection plans now.

There is a standard playbook that democratically elected leaders who are wannabe dictators follow: weaken the justice system.
Played by Putin, Duterte of Philippines, Modi of India, Trump and now Natenyahu.

Damn!! I think the Righteous Gemstones (season 4) has jumped the proverbial shark.
It’s been a long time coming. Like a freight train, but now it’s close enough that you see the ditch lights. Train coming at you at notch 8, however.
