@aetios to not confuse it with the state
@grillchen no one does this with new york
@aetios maybe bc new york city is in new york
@aetios as in confusion doesnt matter as much
@grillchen isn't Washington in Washington
@aetios nope, dc is a special place not in a state, afaik they can also not vote on the president.
washington state is on the other side of the country. far west i think

@grillchen @aetios people bitch about not being able to vote all the time but it's in the constitution. on the other hand, DC is way bigger than the constitution allows, so it's breaking the rules already, so why not a few more
@lain @sun @aetios depends on the specific tax. no thoughts about tourists.
but i think residents should be incentivized to care about the place the live in and be able to vote.
i would go rather the "give people the right to vote" route rather than "dont tax people at all"
lets take cell for example. he lives and works (soon again i believe) in sg. i think he should be able to vote or pay less/taxes. or certain taxes not at all.
in germany we have like 15% of people without german citizienship. if all of them would vote they could be the third biggest party besides afd and cdu (2025, cdu getting close to third place in the hyptothetical)
