Yes your taxes should support disabled people.

They should support homeless people.

They should support those living in poverty, children and the elderly.

This is literally the purpose of taxes, and I would far rather support those who need it than continue to enrich the elite.

Pardon me if I delay celebrating this vile cretin losing until those poor Sandy Hook families he victimized for cheap publicity see all of the cash. I don't trust him for a second.

What impressed me the most was the second out. Through all the confusing having the poise to run to the third was impressive.

NVL the double play will haunt all dodger dreams for a long time. Not to mention every single fly ball getting run down. That outfield saved at least 3 runs!

Tesla drivers alleged the handles have gotten stuck or malfunctioned, especially when cars’ low-voltage batteries failed. At least four alleged the need to “break a window to regain entry into the vehicle,” according to the agency.

New Rules Could Force Tesla to Redesign Its Door Handles. That’s Harder Than It Sounds

Proposed regulations in China would mean the end of flush handles on car doors, with precious little time to roll out the changes.

I loved to see the Dodgers win, but I hated seeing that poor kid suffer like that after his panicked throw. He is a good reliever who was brought up too soon, has struggled with runners on base, and was not put in a good situation. Credit to his coach and team for supporting him.
