    Sure as well as every other social media platform since the inception of the internet. I remember seeing Flat Earth insanity on myspace, digg, and even fark. But no one runs around and claims flat earth was popularized on those sites. What they’re saying above isn’t based in reality unless you’re willing to say the same about every single social media platform.

    Even if you inherited your parents property if you already have one you should have to pay extra taxes on it from the day they die until the day you sell it, period.

    This seems needlessly callous to me. At least give them a 6-12 month period to clean up, do repairs, and sell the house. Not everyone that inherits a house is making enough to pay increased taxes right out the gate like you’re proposing. Also, from personal experience, cleaning houses of deceased relatives tend to require a bit of work to get ready for selling and is incredibly emotionally draining. What you’re proposing is going to be extremely painful for the people at the bottom, and emotionally wracking, since as soon as a loved one dies you’re now under the gun to sell.

    I agree though, second homes should be extremely heavily taxed. I just think we need to approach it with an even hand and make sure that we are targeting big corporate rental agencies and the very wealthy, and not some family that just lost their parents/grandparents. Something about targeting those people seems needlessly aggressive and not really the intention being discussed…




  • You should read the article because it’s way fucking crazier than you think:

    Sources told WTVY that Michael Halstead informed officers that they had put Logan’s body into the freezer on October 11. The sources claimed that Headland Police failed to find the body which was allegedly wrapped up in blankets and tarpaulin. Halstead was also arrested that day and jailed for ten days for failing to show up to court on domestic abuse charges.

    The police KNEW there was a body in the freezer because the dad TOLD them. The police failed to find the body they knew was on the property IN A FREEZER.

    How it got in the freezer in the first place? No ine can really say not even the guy who put it there:

    Sheriff Blankenship said that Halstead claimed to have had a manic episode and couldn’t remember how the body got into the freezer.

    So yes it’s even crazier. It’s not really clear from the article what the cause of death was, but a bipolar dad that doesn’t remember exactly why they put a body in a freezer is a pretty solid suspect. Shit is absolutely wild and I’m just sitting here wondering how many freezers they had on the property for the police to not find it AFTER BEING TOLD IT WAS THERE.
