The negativity here is astounding. Holy bananas. Do any of you do anything to help your neighbor or is b****** on Reddit the extent of your community service.

That stated, real estate taxes on the elderly are truly a problem. Especially for those on a fixed income, if the city appraises your property to a higher value, these can quickly cause an already tight budget to collapse. Folks can lose their homes or their kids will be stuck paying.

Have some compassion..

They'll run this all the way up to SCOTUS if they have to. There is no way any of these companies are going to allow a "contract" to be deemed unenforceable by a judge and not fight it tooth and nail.

You totally can. But you absolutely did not in your first comment.

Except for 50 million worth? As I said, it would make no difference to his actual possessions.

Of course. He could give up his businesses and give up all his possessions.

Outrage? He is giving $9M millions in taxpayer funds to a single non-profit. Can I ask for people’s opinion on said non-profit?

Thanks for the info! Good to hear, I used to inspect non-profits and it’s typically hard to find ones that don’t have some form of ulterior motive.

Obviously. His net worth is what he can sell it for. Hence, he could donate... maybe 500 million? Hell, he could donate 950 million without any change to his lifestyle at all. He would still have 50 million (50 000 000 usd worth) and can still own his dozen private jets on his private runway, maybe even buy one or one hundred new private runways for his buddies.

Bro, again, a percentage of net worth is a useless statistic. Most of his net worth is tied up in the valuation of his businesses. He doesn’t have a pile of a billion dollar bills laying around.

It's not easy to buy one or two fewer private jets for your private runway? Get real.

Man, only $74 for court costs. I think it probably cost a lot more to get there, but I do hope this creates precedent for ISP's.

Now if only we could bust up monopolies in EVERY town and/or hold the ISPs accountable for shitty service in monopolies when they know they can get away with it

Damn that sounds good!!!

No kidding.

Nope. And now you see what a worthless number net worth is.

What a good man. He sets an example for all of us.

There’s a large Hmong community in south eastern WI, glad to hear to they are flourishing in other areas too!

Yeah looks really cool. Since hearing the kelp farming podcast from "how to save the planet" I'm like... We should move a lot of farming to kelp farming but first... Let's find good markets for that stuff!

Replicating this at every offshore wind farm where seaweed is native sounds like a good idea.

Not to be that asshole, but if 5 houses (near where I live) cost 500k. Did he just bail out maybe a few friends elderly family?

Ohhh that's what you meant. I thought you meant a $400k mortgage with 150k remaining.
