 A very worrying history of Patreon, especially with the trends of the last few years.

Hmm.
I feel like I would whack myself in the gut trying to use that.

Wow. That's quite interesting perspective. Looks very much like a two-vanishing-point architectural drawing.

I guess this is what a "PC-E lens" lets you do?

I also notice neither of these asks what a reasonable tax RATE would be.

That's the question that would be in my mind. I mean, if it's, say, 1%, why not tax even small inheritances?

But if it's 90%, that's a very different story!

Texas has enacted election laws whose effect is to make urban voters have to wait in long lines to vote, while rural voters can be in and out in 5 minutes.

There is also a strong fatalistic attitude ("the Republicans are going to win anyway").

If you're certain that your vote won't change anything, and you know voting is going to be an ordeal, AND you think Democrats won't help you either..? Then a lot of people will not vote.

Texas cities are majority Dem.
