You are right. I've seen a lot of that.

John Dutton, obviously a hardcore right-winger self-proclaimed "eNeMy Of PrOgReSs", is elected governor and the very first thing he says behind closed doors is "f this state, the only thing that actually matter is the raaaynnch". It is shown repeatedly that the only way he has been able to maintain his iron grip on his enormous amount of land - that he inherited and did nothing to earn himself - is through violence and corrupt dealing. This is obviously not a good or heroic person or family.

Ironically, it seems like a lot of conservatives see the show as conservative propaganda...which is scary, considering the above, but not surprising.

Finally, it is ok for bad guys to be right sometimes, and many redditors seem to struggle with that idea. "Villain protagonist loves natural things and wants to protect them from overdevelopment"...didn't everybody love and connect with Thanos as a villain for having this same take?

Plymouth, Cape Cod, Boston, then Worcester in that order. I hate cities. I hate the idea of living in one, I hate the idea of breathing polluted city air (it's all diesel fumes all the time), I hate the thought of trying to enter or leave or commute within a city. It's all terrible. And for what it's worth Worcester is the worcest of them all.

Equitable - taxing someone who can't afford new shoes at 4% of their income is reprehensible. Taxing someone with two yachts and three homes 8% of their income is an undertax.

Sensible - nobody, other than libertardian buttclowns and the ancap economists that they subscribe to, could ever call a flat tax sensible.

Yeah, imagine when the median wage eventually hits $400 an hour. A person working 40 hours a week for 52 straight weeks will cross that million dollar threshold oh wait no that's still only six figures.

Math is important.
