You got me on the 'craven' misuse, but 'ethereal' is what I typed... where did you get "etherials" ?

Many Republicans even support this, if you believe this article.

I can sympathise. There are too many people getting scandalously wealthy doing nothing of value. Take Zuckerberg for example. Stole the idea, and got paid large for scaling it big. Good for him, I say, but millions out there feel the need to loot and pillage his bank account.

Generally I ignore them ... but will bring them up only if I’m not sure but maybe they were intentional.

The home owner class is seen as the next privileged elite in California. Prop 13 is going away sooner than later.
