 local-tax deductions subsidize itemizers in the higher-income groups, opponents say the same argument can be made for deductions, such as mortgage interest on homes in places of high incomes and property values.
But the most fundamental concern is that ending the deduction for state and local taxes will seriously impede the ability of local jurisdictions to provide education, housing, health care, and other services for the poor. The states with the highest taxes, above all New York, have the largest concentrations of poor people. Moreover, unlike charitable contributions or mortgage payments, taxpayers have no choice in paying state and local taxes.
Some state and local jurisdictions are also concerned about another ingredient of the Reagan tax package: removal of the deduction for interest on municipal bonds -- such as industrial development bonds -- that involve some form of private participation and do not directly benefit a governmental unit.
It is unclear what nongovernmental bonds the administration intends to eliminate from tax exemption. But ending municipal-bond interest deductions could boost utility bills, fees at not-for-profit hospitals, housing rent, and other services, critics of the reform charge.
The administration argues that state and local governments have increasingly used tax-exempt financing to raise money for private businesses, residential mortgages, and nonprofit corporations. This, say Treasury officials, has eroded the federal tax base, forcing increases in tax rates on nonexempt income, and created distortions in the economy.
Critics believe that Reagan is singling out state and local governments in part because these are easiest to go after. Other interest groups, such as charity organizations, are politically stronger and can more easily mobilize their constituencies.
Hi, Can anyone tell me if all parks now have their parking trams running. The WDW page says they are trying to get them going before end of 2022.
Just TTC (MK) and Animal Kingdom.
Absolutely no excuse for not having them all back. Such a disservice to their guests.
Technically they probably don't, but it's proably something Disney insist they have just to cover themselves. "Untrained tram driver crashes injuring passengers" isn't a great headline to have to deal with.
MK goes without saying, that parking lot was BRUTAL walking before they brought them back.. I don't understand why Animal kingdom over Hollywood studious or Epcot though..
Dream bigger. They can have trams at all the parks.
Epcot needs it, don't know why hollywood studios needs it tho. Parking lot and the tram route makes no sense (look at google maps) other than on busier days.
I would rather they demolish the tram route, put covered moving walkways and call it a day.
Even though you're given the Main Quests early in the game (Free the Divine Beasts and Defeat Ganon) doesn't mean you should start those quests early in the game. 

Whether you play for 10, 50, 100, or 200+ hours before tackling a Divine Beast is entirely up to you!

I'm older, and other than The Sims, RollerCoaster Tycoon, and a couple of Mario games, had little game experience and NO combat experience before picking up BOTW.

I LOVE the game!

What makes BOTW so appealing to me is I am free to go at my own pace, every step of the way.

After leaving the Great Plateau (upon which I avoided all combat), I got myself a horse and proceeded to find and climb all the towers to open up the map. It's much easier to avoid combat with a horse; you're able to outrun most enemies.

Then I started doing the shrines, which yielded me better weapons in addition to the orbs which I traded for additional hearts.

As I traveled through Hyrule, I picked up every resource available to me (even those I wasn't sure I needed).

I also spent a lot of time hunting Korok Seeds, to trade for additional weapon, bow, and shield slots.

I slowly built my combat skills by first engaging with Bokoblins, then when I became more confident, Lizalfos. 

I learned how to parry Guardian lasers; there's nothing more satisfying than watching a Guardian disintegrate when its own weapon destroys them!

I also searched for ore deposits, to gather gems I could sell for rupees, which I used to buy better armor. Side quests can be fun, and a good way to earn rupees or materials.

I have about 300 hours in the game thus far. I've done almost all the shrines, have a great collection of weapons and armor (most of which is upgraded to level 4), and I'm just NOW headed for my first Divine Beast!

There's no need to rush. As a matter of fact, if you got the game to play as a way to relax, it's better not to. 

There's no requirement or expectation for players to free the Divine Beasts or Defeat Ganon within X# of hours. 

Take your time. Enjoy the journey. 

If at any point you get stuck, rest assured there's a video or written tutorial you can access for help. Don't be afraid to use them!WEST POINT, N.Y. -- Freedom is not Free.This phrase is especially true at the U.S. Military Academy, which has trained officers to lead America's Soldiers into combat since 1802. In Cullum Hall, brass placards line the walls listing the names of the men and women of the Long Gray Line who have made the ultimate sacrifice defending the freedoms upon which the country is built.As they prepare to begin their own time at West Point and set forth on a path that will inevitably lead to the battlefield, the members of the Class of 2023 have taken the weight of that history and the legacy of sacrifice upon their shoulders and offered to carry it.During a ceremony Sunday evening during their last night at Camp Buckner for Cadet Basic Training, Freedom is not Free was unveiled as the motto for the Class of 2023.Then Monday, the black banner they marched behind during the final stretch of the March Back announced the motto to those gathered to cheer them on.The carrying of the motto is not a one-time event that is then cast aside. It is the phrase that sets the tone for their time at the academy and their career and life beyond the banks of the Hudson River."It speaks to why a lot of us are here," New Cadet Jakob Lane said. "Freedom is in fact not free. I know that most people around me came here to lead Soldiers into battle and fight America's wars. Sometimes, there's a price to pay, and that's why it's not free. I think it resonates well with a lot of people."The class voted on the motto during Cadet Basic Training. At the end of the year, they will unveil a class crest featuring the words and at the beginning of their last year at West Point each member of the class will receive a ring with the words engraved on the side to carry with them throughout their lives."It's really meaningful to me, because before I came here I didn't really understand what life was like in the Army," New Cadet Olivia Skelton said. "Now just going through our version of basic training, I realized that freedom, really, there's a cost for it. You have to work hard, Soldiers do, to keep that freedom the rest of the nation enjoys. It really holds a new meaning to me and I really like it."Monday's March Back marked the completion of the six weeks of Cadet Basic Training that followed Reception Day on July 1. The 1,187 new cadets will now go through reorganization week before officially joining the Corps of Cadets during the Acceptance Day parade Saturday.With a month and a half completed, the members of the Class of 2023 have 45 and a half months remaining at West Point to become leaders and prepare to serve as platoon leaders in the Army. During that time and beyond, they will work to uphold the motto they have chosen to take as their own while honoring all it means and the weight of those who have gone before and paid the cost of freedom."I just think it's a way to stick true to the core values of West Point-Duty, Honor, Country -just like all other cadets have," New Cadet Liam Reff said of living up to the motto. "I feel like no matter what your motto is, it relates back to the core motto of West Point.  Your motive is always for the betterment of the country."
Most filmmakers know damn good and well that it’s best not to remake Billy Wilder movies. 1995’s Sabrina is living proof of that. Not that the movie is horrible because it’s not. It’s just not great and not needed. While for my taste he falls short Harrison Ford lives up to Humphrey Bogart about as well as anyone. He’s just fine as Linus Larrabee the head of the Larrabee corporation a fortune five hundred company leading the way in cutting edge technology. Linus is so dedicated to his work and making money for the company thar he hasn’t left himself much of a personal life. His younger brother David is his polar opposite. He has the same good looks but he’s all play and no work. He hasn’t even been inside his own office in the company building in over a year. He’s all playboy as well. Using the company fame and fortune to do his best Hugh Hefner squiring many willing and gorgeous upper class ladies about town or at least to the selerium at the family mansion during glamorous extravagant parties instead of working
