Years ago, a fellow running for State Treasurer told me that when rich people are polled, they'll commonly say they'll move to flee higher taxes, because it costs them nothing to say that, and it might prevent it. But when their bluff is called, they usually shrug and do nothing.

The Wealthy Don't Leave When States Tax the Rich, But It Sure Does Raise Revenue | Common Dreams

Look at what happened in Massachusetts and Washington. Not only did millionaires not flee the states imposing new taxes, but the states became richer.

I catch myself thinking "How can we convince them we don't want AI?" and then I realize of course they know we don't want it.

AI is meant to keep us down, it's not for us.

HHS to probe data from autistic Medicare, Medicaid enrollees, RFK Jr. says

The U.S. Health and Human Services department will start a research project to examine medical data and records of Medicaid and Medicare enrollees who have been diagnosed with autism, health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced on Wednesday. The program will involve a data sharing agreement between the National Institutes of Health, the government’s health research arm, and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, which has access to claims data from nearly 150 million Americans across the country. The agreement will be ā€œconsistent with applicable privacy laws to protect Americans’ sensitive health information,ā€ the department said.

Today marks a proud and hopeful milestone for the City of Thousand Oaks with the opening of the Thrive Grove Navigation Center, which uses tiny homes to provide temporary housing and wraparound services for unhoused residents.

The people of Thousand Oaks asked us to address homelessness, and today we made good on that request. Thrive Grove represents our commitment to compassion, to dignity, to the belief that everyone deserves a path forward.

Interested in learning more? The Navigation Center is hosting an open house this Saturday, 5/10, from 10-4.

Hey Mastodon,

I need a big favor. My friend @Aseelsehwel lives in Gaza, & she & her brother are currently trying to raise money to feed their family, care for their father who is suffering from kidney complications, & eventually leave Gaza for Egypt. They are a family of 6 & it looks like their estimated costs to cover everything would be $50,000.00. So far they are at $24,674, can we try to get them over the finish line? Here is a link to their GoFundMe:
