well I don’t blame the billionaires for taking advantage of tax breaks…. I take advantage of every tax break I could too….. now those people you elect, who are in charge of deciding who gets these tax breaks… that could be another story… however you are demonizing billionaires who are not doing anything illegal simply taking advantage of what is there and that is human nature, and you cannot change that….

Have you ever seen a protest in the street for billionaires for tax breaks?  Anyone you know every call their Rep and demand them?  How did they appear?

Is that a serious question?

It is.   In your real life, talking at work, a party, around the dinner table, ....   have you ever heard anyone promoting tax breaks for billionaires?

I haven't. So where did the idea for them come from?  Not from the masses.

Happy Valentine’s!

Oh, shit! You’re toast.

I might be.   You can kill me but you can't beat me.

Looks like fun!

"...Young woman in India fakes snake transformation to escape arranged marriage
TRENDING
February 14, 2026

A young woman in Auraiya district, Uttar Pradesh, staged an elaborate ruse involving a shed snakeskin to avoid an arranged marriage, drawing widespread attention and sparking local superstition.

A Disappearance That Shocked the Village
Reena, in her early twenties, vanished from her family home without a trace. When her relatives entered her bedroom, they discovered her clothes and jewelry neatly placed on the bed, along with a five-foot-long shed snakeskin arranged in a startling display.

The unusual scene immediately drew attention from neighbors, who were quick to interpret it through the lens of regional folklore. In local tradition, a “naagin” is a mythical woman believed to have the power to transform into a snake. Many villagers were convinced that something supernatural had occurred.


Investigation and Findings
Police were called to investigate the disappearance. After examining the scene, authorities dismissed the supernatural claims and concluded that the young woman had staged the arrangement deliberately.

Officials said the snakeskin was intended to mislead her family and the community while she carried out her plan to leave home.

According to the police, Reena was expected to enter an arranged marriage she did not wish to accept. She had been secretly communicating with a man from her village with whom she was romantically involved. The dramatic setup involving the snakeskin allowed her to slip away unnoticed and elope with her partner.

Reappearance and Resolution
Reena resurfaced in a video alongside her chosen partner, now her husband. Dressed in traditional married attire, she told the camera that she was content with her decision and requested that the couple be allowed to live in peace. The video quickly circulated online, bringing closure to a mystery that had captivated the local community..."
