Let's assume you bought a house at exactly the government assessed sales value
Let's say you have X% property tax per year
And you are assessed as having increase the sales value of the house by N dollars
Let's say you increased the sales value without spending any money on repair or construction or other home improvement costs to do so
1 of 2
If you sell the house at the assessed sales value a certain number of years after the assessment
If ( 100 / X ) years you will have broken even
After ( 100 / X ) years you will have actually lost money
If you sell before ( 100 / X ) years you will have gained money
This maybe off by 1 year depending on how taxation is timed
This does not account for multiple assessments
You will be homeless if it is your only house and you sell it to fund your retirement wuthout buying a new house

Devlet sustuğunda, katiller konuşur…
Mahmut Uzun
2 Temmuz 1993. Sivas’ta bir otel yakıldı. İçinde insanlar vardı. Aydınlar, sanatçılar, ozanlar, çocuklar…
Canlı canlı yakıldılar. Dışarıda toplanan binlerce kişi “yakın, yakın!” diye bağırıyorlardı. İçeridekiler ise insanlıktan medet umuyordu.
Gelmedi...
Bu bir halk isyanı değildi. Bu bir linçti. Bir katliamdı. Devletin gözetiminde, devletin bilgisiyle, devletin gölgesinde yaşandı. Herkes izledi. Herkesin izlediğini tarih kaydetti.
Ve sonra ne mi oldu?
Tansu Çiller çıktı, “Çok şükür otel dışındaki halkımıza bir zarar gelmedi” dedi.
Yani içerde yananları “halk”tan saymadı. Onları bu milletin parçası olarak görmedi.
Bu, yalnızca bir cümle değil, bir zihniyetti.
Süleyman Demirel ise “Olay münferittir. Halkla güvenlik güçleri çatışmamıştır”
dedi.
Sanki bir tesadüfmüş gibi, sanki binlerce kişi bir anda “aniden” galeyana gelmiş gibi…
Sanki öncesi yokmuş, yıllarca biriken nefret yokmuş, devletin ideolojik mühendisliği hiç yokmuş gibi…
Erdal İnönü ise sorumluluğu başkalarına devretmeye çalıştı: “Benim kadar onlar da sorumlu.”
Hayır! Siz hepiniz sorumluydunuz! Çünkü o gün orada susan herkes, yanındakinin çığlığını bastırdı.
Fehmi Koru, Aziz Nesin’i suçladı.
Mehmet Gazioğlu, inançlara hakaret ettiğini iddia etti.
Yani bu insanlar, “Aziz Nesin vardı, o yüzden insanlar yakıldı” diyebildi.
Faili suçlamak yerine, mağdura yöneldiler.
Tarihin en alçak diliyle konuştular.
Bu sözler rastgele değildir. Bunlar bir zihniyetin, bir devlet aklının, bir cezasızlık geleneğinin göstergesidir.
O gün orada yakılan yalnızca insanlar değildi. O gün insanlık da yandı. Vicdan da, adalet de, hakikat de…
Bugün hâlâ Madımak Oteli bir utanç müzesi
değilse…
Hâlâ faillerin bazıları korunduysa, bazıları serbest kaldıysa…
Hâlâ devlet yetkilileri o gün söylediklerini düzeltme gereği duymadıysa…
Bu, bir devam halidir. Sivas katliamı geçmişte kalmadı. Sivas sürüyor.
Ve o gün “yakın” diye bağıranlar bugün başka meydanlarda, başka isimlerle, başka sloganlarla hâlâ aramızdalar…
Ama artık yeter.
Çünkü devlet sustuğunda, katiller konuşur.
Ve biz sustukça, tarih yanmaya devam eder.

Turns out bunker busters work better than $150 billion cash on pallets.
The total cost of the recent U.S. bombing campaign targeting Iran’s nuclear sites is estimated to be around $500 million, reflecting a complex and costly military operation. This figure includes the deployment of seven B-2 stealth bombers, each valued at approximately $2.1 billion, which delivered at least 14 Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP) bunker-buster bombs costing $15-20 million apiece. Additionally, about 30 Tomahawk missiles, each costing around $2 million, were launched. The operational costs—including fuel, maintenance, aerial refueling, support aircraft such as F-22s, F-35s, AWACS, electronic warfare platforms, and personnel—added tens of millions more, with total mission expenses likely exceeding half a billion dollars. Over 125 aircraft participated in the mission, underscoring the extensive logistical and financial investment involved[1][2][3][5][6][8].
Beyond the direct military expenditures, the strikes have also contributed to broader economic impacts, including increased volatility in global oil prices and inflation concerns due to fears of disruption in Iranian oil exports and potential retaliatory actions. These indirect costs, while harder to quantify, amplify the overall financial and geopolitical consequences of the bombing campaign[2][5][7].
In sum, the U.S. airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities represent a significant financial outlay in both direct military spending and wider economic ramifications, with the immediate operational costs alone estimated at around $500 million.

To understand **how many water systems and power plants could have been built for \$500 million**, we can estimate based on average construction costs of these infrastructures. Below is a rough breakdown using typical U.S. figures (note: actual costs vary significantly by location, scale, and technology):
---
### 💧 **Water Systems**
**Average cost to build a new municipal water system** (small to mid-sized community):
* **\$5 million to \$15 million**
(Includes treatment facilities, distribution pipelines, pumps, etc.)
#### 🔹 Conservative estimate:
* **\$10 million per water system**
➤ **\$500 million ÷ \$10 million = 50 water systems**
---
### ⚡ **Power Plants**
There are various types of power plants. Here are a few types with rough average costs:
#### 🟢 **Small Solar Power Plant (\~10 MW):**
* **\~\$15 million**
➤ **\$500 million ÷ \$15 million = \~33 solar plants**
(Can power \~2,000 homes each)
#### 🔵 **Small Natural Gas Plant (\~100 MW):**
* **\~\$100 million**
➤ **\$500 million ÷ \$100 million = 5 plants**
(Can power \~75,000–100,000 homes each)
#### 🟠 **Small Modular Nuclear Reactor (SMR):**
* **\~\$300 million to \$500 million**
➤ **Could build 1 to 2 SMRs**
---
### Combined Estimate
| Type | Average Cost | How Many for \$500M |
| ----------------------------- | ------------ | ------------------- |
| Small municipal water system | \$10M | 50 |
| Solar power plant (10 MW) | \$15M | 33 |
| Natural gas plant (100 MW) | \$100M | 5 |
| Small modular nuclear reactor | \$400M | 1–2 |
---
### 🧾 Summary
For the **same \$500 million**, instead of being spent elsewhere (e.g., military aid, overseas projects), **the U.S. could build:**
* **50 municipal water systems**, or
* **33 small solar power plants**, or
* **5 small natural gas plants**, or
* **1–2 small modular nuclear reactors**
This kind of investment could power hundreds of thousands of homes or deliver clean water to entire regions in need.

Sadly this is how government is designed. It is impossible to get any work done without stepping anyone on the toes.
Thus U will either do as little as possible and stay for a total of 8 or 10 years in power, depending on nation.
Or U will upset people and be replaced at the next election and all the work U started will be cancelled.
This is how Democracy was always supposed to function.
That a population of morons would be able to elect by voting a genius leader is a joke.
However, the answer is clear.
We live in a republic, not a democracy.
We have a federal constitution that is limited. All not listed in the constitution is the purview of the States.
Since 90% of the federal budget is unconstitutional, it should be scrapped. There would be no ability to 'promise' anything since it is unconstitutional.
Real leadership means the ability to follow the constitution
I wasn't addressing USA specifically but the state of the western world.
I don't think that real leadership can be reduced to following the constitution.
Since That has yet to manifest. That might be a nice idea but it ain't happening.
Instead U have constant elections and propaganda. Perhaps U are a republic in name only and in every other aspect it's just Jewry?
That said, the electoral voting system, at least U have that instead of the popular vote. Rejoice

This text was written in the context of the anti-fascist three-day conference of June 20-22, but its typing and publication was delayed.
Responding to the call of the anti-fascist days of actions (20-22 June), of antifa Maja T. who has been on hunger strike since 5/6 in Hungarian prisons, we send our own signal of solidarity to their struggle. Two years ago, during the day of honor (anniversary of the mass extermination of Hungarian and German Nazis in 1945), where a fascist rally-march takes place in Budapest, where hundreds of neo-Nazis and fascists gather. In response to this call, anti-fascists from Europe have decided to return to them some of the violence they produce.
The far-right Hungarian government began a series of arrests, openly supporting the fascists, with inflated indictments of criminal organizations and inhumane conditions of confinement. Other European states cooperated with each other, engaging in a series of deportations and persecutions. Germany played a leading role in characterizing the German anti-fascists persecuted by the Hungarian state as dangerous criminals, culminating in the overnight extradition of Maja T. Many of the people involved chose to go underground, refusing to surrender their freedom in the hands of either the German or the Hungarian state. One of these people was Maja T. until their arrest and extradition.
We are going through a period of vertical rise of the far right and nationalism in the West. More and more people are turning to fascist and nationalist formations. The incompetence of the left and the retreat of the revolutionary movements left room for all kinds of fascist formations to develop and expand their audience. A disappointed audience that found in its face the anti-systemism it was looking for.
Fascism and nationalism have always been the other side of systemism. Especially in times of crisis, when neoliberalism is rotting, fascism emerges as a solution to the problem. The narrative of the national core, racial superiority and the necessity of militarization is used. Militant anti-fascism is the only solution to this problem. We have no illusions about the education of the descendants of the blackshirts, nor do we obviously seek their imprisonment. After all, fascism is crushed in the streets.
Defending anti-fascism, Maja T found themself imprisoned in Hungarian prisons in conditions of extreme isolation. Conditions that led them to embank their own body, starting a hunger strike from 5/6. From our own cell, the least we can do is stand by it, sending strength and solidarity.
Victory in Maja T’s hunger strike.

The state of remote working with Wayland is, well, lackluster to put it kindly. And with Sway, it's quite abysmal.Here is my solution to remote my Sway desktop at work and make it persistent so it survives network outages. This is not the perfect solution, probably, but it works for me.
A few prerequisites
- You need a dedicated remote account. It's generally a good idea regardless of whether you use Wayland or X11 to have a main account and a secondary remote account if you don't want to work with the same desktop locally and remotely.
The reason is, your local desktop settings can differ significantly from the remote desktop settings (for instance, if you work with 2 high-res monitors locally but on a small laptop screen remotely) so a unique set of settings may not work well in both cases.Also, unless you log out of the local and remote sessions religiously after you're done, you're likely to run both sessions at the same time at some point. If you do, you may run more than one instance of the same utilities, which tend to overwrite one another's temporary files, caches and such, and generally creating a mess.
So it's much cleaner to have a separate main account and remote account, with adequate permissions to access files in one from the other, and run two separate desktops.
- To remote a Sway desktop, you'll use VNC. It's not great but that's the only option at the moment.
- My solution below is reasonably secure if you're the only user on your machine, or if the other local users aren't adversarial.
If they are, you'll use a Unix socket or enable authentication in Wayvnc for extra security (see Final note below), which works fine, but is incompatible with Remmina. And I happen to like Remmina 🙂 So I didn't. I'm a low-risk target but do what works best for you.- If there are more than one user doing remote work on the machine, each one will need to be assigned their own VNC port. Again, it's not great, but Wayland makes doing anything else with the existing tools exceedingly painful.
Setup
The idea is to:
- SSH into the remote machine and create a tunnel from the remote machine's VNC port corresponding to the particular remote user (if you're the only one, 5900 most likely) to a local port on your local machine.
- Upon connection through SSH, start Sway headless in a persistent manner (meaning the Sway session doesn't get killed if the ssh connection dies).
- Make Sway start Wayvnc to expose the headless display through VNC.
- On the local machine, connect to the local end of the SSH tunnel to connect to the remote Wayvnc server.
Required software packages
On the remote machine
tmux: this is ascreen-like terminal multiplexer that allows sessions to remain open even if the terminal underneath disappears.swayobviously...wayvnc: that's the Wayland VNC server
On the local machine, install:
ssh: the SSH client- Any VNC viewer
Configuration of the remote machine
- Add a user called
<your_main_username>-remotefor example.
In the remote user's account, configure:
sway: Put the following lines in.config/sway/config:# Start the VNC server: set the resolution you want (fixed) output HEADLESS-1 mode 1920x1080 # Start the VNC server exec cd $HOME/.config/wayvnc && /usr/bin/wayvnc -C $HOME/.config/wayvnc/configwayvnc: Put the following lines in.config/wayvnc/configaddress=localhost port=5900
If you have more than one user, allocate a unique port per remote user- Create a
~/scriptsdirectory in your home directory (that's where I put my scripts. If you want to do something else, it's up to you, but the following assumes the relevant scripts are located in~/scripts)- Create
~/scripts/sway_headless.shwith the following content, to start Sway headless:#!/bin/sh export WLR_BACKENDS=headless export WLR_LIBINPUT_NO_DEVICES=1 /usr/bin/sway- Create a
start_persistent_sway_headless.shscript to start Sway and Wayvnc in a background tmux session if it doesn't exist already, and only exit when the Wayvnc server is ready to accept connections:#!/bin/sh # Pass the -w argument to this script to wait until the VNC server stops before exiting (for interactive SSH sessions, to keep the tunnel open) # If not already running, start Sway headless in a tmux session and immediately detach from it tmux has-session -t sway 2> /dev/null || tmux new-session -d -s sway $HOME/scripts/sway_headless.sh # Source the wayvnc config file to get the address and port it's listening on . $HOME/.config/wayvnc/config # Wait until the VNC server is up retry=5 while [ ${retry} -gt 0 ] && ! nc -z ${address} ${port} 2> /dev/null; do sleep 1 retry=$((retry-1)) done # Wait until the VNC server goes back down if requested if [ "$1" = "-w" ]; then while nc -z ${address} ${port} 2> /dev/null; do sleep 1 done fi- Optionally, create a
stop_persistent_sway_headless.shscript to stop the background tmux session running Sway and Wayvnc. It's not strictly needed but you might find it useful if you want to stop Sway manually:#!/bin/sh tmux kill-session -t sway 2> /dev/null
Connecting from the local machine
Manually:
- To start Sway and Wayvnc on the remote machine, and create the VNC tunnel manually with SSH, do this in one terminal (the local end of the tunnel is port 35900 here):
$ ssh -L35900:localhost:5900 <your_main_username>-remote@<remote_machine> "~/scripts/start_persistent_sway_headless.sh -w"- Then to connect to the remote machine through the SSH tunnel manually, do this in another terminal:
$ vncviewer localhost:35900
With Remmina:
Final note
This setup is acceptable if you're the only user on the machine, or the other users are friendly folks, and your machine is secured!The reason for this is, when Wayvnc is running without authentication, malevolent local users can freely connect to your session and take over your remote desktop.
There are two ways around that, but neither is compatible with Remmina.
- Use a Unix socket instead of a TCP port to serve up VNC on the remote machine. To do this:
- Remove
~/.config/wayvncand replace the Wayvnc startup line in the remote user's Sway config file with:
exec /usr/bin/wayvnc -u $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/wayvnc
- Replace the content of
~/scripts/start_persistent_sway_headless.shwith:
#!/bin/sh # Pass the -w argument to this script to wait until the VNC server stops before exiting (for interactive SSH sessions, to keep the tunnel open) # If not already running, start Sway headless in a tmux session and immediately detach from it tmux has-session -t sway 2> /dev/null || tmux new-session -d -s sway $HOME/scripts/sway_headless.sh # Wait until the VNC server is up retry=5 while [ ${retry} -gt 0 ] && ! [ -S ${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}/wayvnc ] 2> /dev/null; do sleep 1 retry=$((retry-1)) done # Wait until the VNC server goes back down if requested if [ "$1" = "-w" ]; then while [ -S ${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}/wayvnc ] 2> /dev/null; do sleep 1 done fi
- Then to start the SSH tunnel manually to tunnel the remote Unix socket to the local TCP port, do this:
$ ssh -L35900:/run/user/<remote user ID>/wayvnc <your_main_username>-remote@reform "~/scripts/start_persistent_sway_headless.sh -w"
This is more secure because the socket file is only visible to your remote user on the remote machine, and not to other local users on the remote machine. Unfortunately Remmina doesn't know how to forward Unix sockets.- Enable TLS or AES authentication in
.config/wayvnc/configas described here.
Unfortunately, when authentication is enabled in Wayvnc, it's not possible to use just a username and password (which would be secure enough in a local context) and Remmina can't work with either forms of authentication offered by Wayvnc. Other VNC viewers like Tigervnc have no problem however.Also, it means you have to enter your password again to log into VNC, so it's not great for automation.
