PA Passes new EV Tax, but there's a Loophole for 2025

TL;DR Summary: "If your Pennsylvania registration for your EV expires b etween now and June 2025, renew it for two years by the end of 2024 for two years. You will avoid having to pay the new $200 EV fee for 2025 registration renewals, and  for vehicles expiring in 2025 renewed for two years by the end of 2024, you will also save  the $250 EV fee for 2026!" ==== Scenario: - I recently renewed my Nissan Leaf's Pennsylvania registration (an electric vehicle, or EV) for two years a couple months ago. - The Pennsylvania Legislature just passed a new law that will require annual fees for EVs starting in 2025 to be paid with the annual registration renewal  So I asked Ed Neilsen, Majority Chair of the PA Transportation Committee a question on whether I would have issues since I already renewed PAST 2025 - would I be pulled over? Will I get a bill? Did I find a loophole?: " Currently, electric vehicle owners are supposed to be paying the Alternative Fuel Tax on electricity...

I bought a house.

I bought a house with the thanks of: My friend who referred me to my Buyer's Agent - Abe Haupt - http://www.abetterrealtor.com He's a big dog in Philly. And a good friend.

//IMHO// The Occupy Movement's goal? - A Constitutional Amendment, Perhaps?

Have you actually read the Occupy Declaration ? I don't think the goal is just fixing what has gone wrong by making people pay their fair share and getting people back to work and general economic and social fairness, but fixing it permanently. The declaration says "THEY" often. Who are "THEY"? It's not Millionaires - it's CORPORATIONS. What action would permanently address every point in the Declaration?? Perhaps a constitutional amendment permanently reversing parts of, any or all Supreme Court " Corporate Personhood " decisions: - Citizens United v. FEC - Santa Clara County v. Southern Pacific Railroad - Dartmouth College v. Woodward is required. Specifically, I can imagine demands/effects such as: - The ability of a state to revoke a corporate charter (Corporate death penalty) - The invalidation of Corporate "personhood" and revocation of all Constitutional protections given to corporations given to people unles...

A case for Redenomination of the U.S. Dollar

"When I was your age, I could get penny candy, a bottle of pop for a nickel and a burger for ten cents"... Wouldn't it be nice to get back to the days our parents and grandparents talk about? Have you noticed that these days these prices are about a factor of ten times as much? Of course this is all natural, but what about the future? 100 Billion Zimbabwe Dollars bought 3 eggs on the date of it's release Will prices in a couple hundred years be a miniature version of Zimbabwe? Will we stop talking about eliminating pennies, and start talking about eliminating nickels, dimes and quarters - change altogether? Today so many of us don't even carry cash for day to day transactions for it to matter much, however a study by the Federal Reserve out this month shows that ATM withdrawals has nonetheless increased over the past three years (Federal Reserve System, 2010). Finally, the U.S. mint has tried many times and failed to get people to carry dollar coin...
