🔥Katie explique les 15 minutes de prison à perpétuité qui sont déjà en cours de déploiement à #Oxford - au #RoyaumeUni

"Très bientôt, vous n'aurez plus que 15 minutes de liberté ici au Royaume-Uni. Permettez-moi donc de vous présenter le plan.
#15minutecities @YvesPDB
"Le plan concerne Oxford, et il vient d'être adopté par le conseil pour diviser la ville en six parties (un peu enchevêtrées). Donc 123456. Vous n'aurez la liberté d'opérer que dans la partie où vous habitez.
"Donc, si c'est vous, l'idée est que tout le monde habite à 15 minutes des choses dont il a besoin. 15 minutes d'une école, 15 minutes d'un médecin, 15 minutes d'un supermarché.

The IRS will do your taxes for you (if that's what you prefer): After years of expensively purchased delay, Turbotax and its fellow tax-profiteers are losing the fight to make you pay them to tell the government what it already knows.
