    on May 21, The 34,000-gallon tank, at an aerospace firm in Garden Grove, ~ 10 miles from Disneyland, was leaking methyl methacrylate,
    a volatile and flammable liquid used to make acrylic plastics. As a precautionary measure, the threat of an potential explosion has resulted
    in the evacuation of ~~ 50,000 local residents . Gov Newsom immediately requested Presidential Emergency Declaration.
    It has taken ~~ 5 day for Trump 2.0 to respond,

    Tinfoil too afraid to hold Trump accountable for rising gasoline price, instead
    he conveniently blames it on someone who didn't start the Iran War

    therein lies tinfoil's willful stupidity

    Nick Shirley is claiming credit for work done by Federal Investigators in 2022



    this was the Federal investigator's findings from 2022

    the report findings reveal large-scale fraud schemes in California and Texas, the 2 most populous states in the Union, https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/trump-newsom-agree-hospice-fraud-120000793.html. and Minn was not in the top ten

    under Trump 2.0, why the dog-and-pony show in Calif and Minn only, w no mentioning of Gov Wheelie's state?

    Wednesday, July 20, 2022,


    Justice Department Charges Dozens for $1.2 Billion
    in Health Care Fraud




    the dishonesty of Nick Shirley and Dr. Oz would have people to know that they were the first to expose these fraud.

    it'd take a willfully ignorant person to fall for Shirley/Oz's lie, tinfoil fit that requirement like a glove.​

    also, under Gov Wheelie,

    On the other end of the spectrum, since Gavin Newsom took office as Governor of California in January 2019, at least 12 California-based researchers and academics have been awarded Nobel Prizes.

    also, Property tax rates in Texas are the eighth-highest in the U.S., as the average effective property tax rate in the Lone Star State is 1.31%. Compare that to the national average, which currently stands at 0.89%. https://smartasset.com/taxes/texas-...ates in Texas,which currently stands at 0.89%.




    As a result of Prop 13, passed in the 1970s, the Property Tax rate in Calif is capped at 1%

    We also have a 1%-13% state income tax in California and a 7.25% state sales tax. California is among the most heavily taxed states. Total state and local burden as a percentage of income, California is fifth behind New York, Connecticut, Hawaii, and Vermont. Texas is 6th from the bottom.

    for income tax and sales tax, whose base is much smaller than property tax.

    for property tax, Tx is the 8th highest, the taxable base is probably at least 4-5 times that for income / sales.


    avg per capita income Tx ~~~ $72K,

    avg home price in Tx ~~$340K​

    No, I was including the entire per capita tax burden (income, property, sales, capital gains, business, etc.). If you ONLY look at property tax (which there is no reason to do) then Texas is 8th highest. If you include everything, Texas is 6th lowest.
    2025 State Tax Data: Facts & Figures Interactive | Tax Foundation
    It is under Table 2 here. You can see what is included by downloading the data using the button at the top and then going to table 7. Texas gets the second largest percentage of its tax income from property tax of any state (after New Hampshire).
