I wouldn't worry about it, you're absolutely correct that the property value increase and the tax burden increase are not linear at all. The person who attempted to correct you is pretty notorious for being aggressively wrong.

I used my fake ID to buy Hpnotiq at the club because I was young and impressionable

Why would they fail you for putting the car in neutral and pushing the clutch in before you start the car?

What are you supposed to do if you want to let the car warm up or you're waiting for someone or any other reason you want to start the car but not immediately start driving? Are you supposed to put it in first, push in the clutch, start the car and then just leave the clutch pushed in for 5 minutes?

So no Israel is bankrupt and has no power or military capabilities, who has the power to decide what kind of solution is enacted?

What happens after it bankrupts them?

Fun fact: the person your replying to had absolutely no idea that a desalination plant was involved in this process.

Since a lot of people seem to be jumping to extreme conclusions about this based on specious assumptions, here's how the process works according to the article:

Magrathea — named after a planet in the hit novel The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy — buys waste brines, often from desalination plants, and allows the water to evaporate, leaving behind magnesium chloride salts. Next, it passes an electrical current through the salts to separate them from the molten magnesium, which is then cast into ingots or machine components.
