Can Outsiders Buy Property in Ranikhet, Uttarakhand?

Ranikhet, a picturesque hill station in Uttarakhand, is known for its natural beauty, serene environment, and pleasant climate. Despite its natural beauty, outsiders can purchase property in Ranikhet, including 3BHK villas, with certain restrictions and conditions. Agricultural land is generally not allowed for non-residents, while non-agricultural land, including residential and commercial properties, can be acquired with permission from the state government. Permissions and approvals from local authorities are essential for both agricultural and non-agricultural land.

Important considerations for property buyers in Ranikhet include local laws, title verification, resale restrictions, environmental impact, and taxation. Consulting with a local real estate professional or attorney can be beneficial in understanding these regulations. Resale restrictions may apply to properties, and environmental impact should be considered due to the region's strict laws. With careful planning and due diligence, owning a piece of paradise in Ranikhet can become a reality for those who cherish the opportunity to live amidst its natural splendor.

Reminder for US folks, that things like libraries are only funded well if you USE THEM. Because it goes like this:

Government: last year your budget was 500$, according to your records, how much of the budget did you use?

Library: we used 300$!

Government: excellent, that means this year your budget is 300$

Library: oh.

Oh and that 200$ the library didn't spend? They don't get to save it for next year, the government simply doesn't give it to them.

Use your library. Request books and check them out. Go through the entire Discworld series. Read about birds, or bones, or gardens. The more you use it, the more funding they get.

Have a favorite author? Request every book they've ever written (one at a time, please) for library inclusion so other readers can fall in love with them too!

How to Ditch Amazon

Support your local libraries and the small businesses that are actually making the products you want.  Fuck Jeff Bezos and the systemic, universal worker abuse, gaslighting, and brutality they live off of.

In 2022, Massachusetts residents voted in favor of a Fair Tax ballot measure to extra-super-duper-tax those earning more than one million dollars a year and to spend the revenue from that on education and transportation initiatives.

Naturally, there were the naysayers. Those who warned that all of the state’s rich people would move away to their very own Galt’s Gulch or whatever, if they were forced to pay a four percent tax on anything they make over a million dollars. The implication there, of course, is that raising this tax would, ironically, lead to the state collecting less revenue overall.

That didn’t happen! In fact, the state has already raised $1.8 billion in revenue so far for this fiscal year — which is $800 million more than they expected, and they still have a few months to go. The vast majority of the surplus will go to a fund that legislators can use for one-time investments in various projects.

The revenue has already been invested in universal school lunches, in more scholarships to public colleges, in improvements to the MBTA, and to repair roads and bridges. These are all things that will improve the quality of life for everyone, including the “ultra-rich” who happen to live there. The fact is, it’s just nice to live in a society that is more civil, that takes care of its people and its children and that fixes things when they are broken.

Elizabeth Warren, Pramila Jayapal, and others have introduced bills in the House and Senate for a nationwide millionaire’s tax of two percent — two cents on the dollar for all wealth exceeding $50 million and six percent on all wealth over a billion dollars. This would bring in an estimated $3.75 trillion over 10 years, which we could use to improve the lives of all US citizens. We could have so many nice things!

It’s time to stop living in fear of what millionaires and billionaires — who have made their fortunes off of roads we’ve paid for and employees we’ve paid to educate — will do or where they will move if forced to pay their fair share. That’s no way to live. If they have some place better to go that won’t force them to contribute to improving their community? Let them. Other people will come along and be more than happy to pick up where they left off. But more than likely, they won’t do jack shit because they’re rich, and if they wanted to live someplace else, they’d be there by now.

Back when I worked for a travel company this would happen all the time. Trust me, we only remembered the people who yelled at us. A polite “Thanks, you too” didn’t even register.

People getting mad about Firefox switching to using hardware acceleration for video playback because they think "hardware acceleration" is a form of DRM is basically the browser equivalent of people freaking out because some random social media platform's terms of service says they own your posts, then when you read what the ToS in question actually says it's literally just "you grant us the right to show your posts to other people".

Starting a Non Profit: A Checklist

Meta: How should you go about starting a non-profit? Read about it here and sign up for an event listings app for social service organizations to market your non-profit.

Starting a non-profit sounds exciting. After all, it’s a noble cause and the perfect opportunity for you to step into philanthropy. However, kick-starting a non-profit social service organization requires more than a kind heart and a dream to serve the community. You also need to address dozens of other aspects to ensure your non-profit succeeds in the long run.

Here are a few items to mark off your checklist before officially starting a non-profit.

Do Your Research

Starting a non-profit isn’t something you can do on a whim. Before you actually set up an organization, you need to know exactly what you aim to achieve. This requires extensive research and planning.

Here are a few questions to consider:

Who will you serve?

What social issue are you targeting?

Are there other non-profits working for the same cause?

Is launching a non-profit for this issue feasible?

Is there a need for your non-profit?

How will you structure your non-profit?

Can you commit to this cause long-term?

It’s imperative to do your due diligence before starting a non-profit. This will give you direction.

Write Your Mission Statement

This may sound like a simple thing, but the mission statement is one of the most important elements of your non-profit. It essentially defines what your company does, who it helps, and how it contributes to the growth of your chosen community. In doing so, it serves as the foundation for your non-profit’s current and future endeavors.

You also need a mission statement for fundraising and grant approvals. Your financiers need to know you’re clear about your goals, and a well-crafted mission statement helps do that. It doesn’t have to be lengthy. Even a sentence or two can get the job done, as long as you accurately convey what your organization does.

Moreover, the mission statement also helps market your organization, recruit talent, and motivate your internal teams. It ensures everyone is on the same page and working toward a shared interest (i.e., your cause). Try to incorporate your organization’s core values in your mission for maximum impact.

Take Care of the Legal Issues

The next thing you need to do is file articles of incorporation. This is essentially a formal request made to the state to recognize your organization as a business. Once this request is approved, you can legally operate as a business. You’ll need to determine which department or regulatory body to turn to for this procedure as this varies across states. You’ll also need to thoroughly go over the documentation required as these also differ across states.

Once you’ve filed articles of incorporation, you need to file for tax-exempt status. Your non-profit is officially a business, but it isn’t yet exempted from tax. To achieve that status, you need to clarify the type of 501(c) organization you’ve formed and begin the relevant tax-exempt application process. Make sure you consult a paralegal for this to follow the correct steps and acquire federal and state tax-exempt status.

Market Your Nonprofit

Now that you’re officially ready for business and have addressed legal obligations, it’s time to get the word out. It’ll take some time for your organization to grow and gain momentum, but your marketing efforts should commence from day one. Promoting your non-profit across online and offline channels will help you acquire the talent, resources, funds, connections, donations, and beneficiaries to work on your cause and gradually take it to the next level.

Every non-profit is different. What works for one may not necessarily be the right marketing strategy for another. Take out some time to analyze your marketing needs, set realistic goals, and develop strategies that would help you achieve your desired results. It’s a good idea to establish a social media presence early on to build traffic and create awareness. This will also help you gain volunteers and expand your professional network.

Does Chloe still exist in ur au?

She does! I've kept core parts of her personality, but retconned massive chunks of her history with Timmy.

Chloe never got fairies, and never shared them with Timmy. But she was his neighbor! They used to play a lot as children, but one day, Chloe wasn't allowed back at the Turner's house.

As a grownup, Chloe's a social worker! She's usually the Go-To person selected by the state to handle difficult public cases involving children. As in: cases involving celebrities, important figures, or the such where the child's identity is at risk to the public. She's an expert at keeping their life secret and away from social media.
