Did he get to go over the Alps with the hefalumph? Asking for a friend.
BTW Awake from a long involved dream(s?) with a magic filled quest by a young guy to answer questions not revealed in his epic dream about the moon and other things revealing where he was to move to succeed at something like running for president. Turned ugly when I was identified as the whirlwind by a wide plastic bowl mysteriously spinning and lifting into the windless air. Then our orange cat began to bite me painlessly but viciously. Got ugly quick. Time to roam the web and distract from the creepy feeling. Reading about Covid Variants in India should distract. /s
I still think we need to go back to the good old tax code of the Eisenhower years.
The effective tax rate was never as high as the official tax brackets. Never.
And the alternative minimum tax was proposed because you had a significant number of corporations and individuals who paid no tax at all.
A recent business article pointed out that it might be relatively simple to go after a lot of under-reported income of wealthy individuals.
After that the Democrats need some smart people to revise the tax code and to undo much of the mess caused by Republicans.
The U.S. is preparing for the possibility that a booster shot will be needed between nine to 12 months after people are initially vaccinated against COVID-19, a White House official said https://t.co/kOHpRdm672pic.twitter.com/e0CM8TgF2j
The U.S. is opening more distance between itself and much of the rest of the world in the race against the coronavirus. The U.S. has administered almost 200 million vaccine doses as other countries struggle with stubbornly high infection rates and deaths. https://t.co/p0ANVUDO5P
It s not a difficult concept that vax d people should still engage in mitigation behavior until the country can actually brag about having mitigated the virus. Cuz right now (and, well, the last 11 months) the biggest risk is unvax d people who think everything s back to normal. https://t.co/N2AHQUljhX

A reassuring indicator that The Former Guy is truly Former The
NYTimes is now willing to tell us that he (and his party) would happily steal the pennies off a corpse’s eyes:
… Facing a cash crunch and getting badly outspent by the Democrats, the campaign had begun last September to set up recurring donations by default for online donors, for every week until the election.
Contributors had to wade through a fine-print disclaimer and manually uncheck a box to opt out.
As the election neared, the Trump team made that disclaimer increasingly opaque, an investigation by The New York Times showed. It introduced a second prechecked box, known internally as a “money bomb,” that doubled a person’s contribution. Eventually its solicitations featured lines of text in bold and capital letters that overwhelmed the opt-out language.
It’s been a really long fucking year.
We can agree to disagree, but i’m right.
I did not have this on my fuck 2020 bingo card.
There’s some extremely good trouble headed their way.
I can’t take this shit today. I just can’t.
We have all the best words.
Shelter in place is one thing. shelter in pants is quite another.
We need fewer warriors in public service and more gardeners.
Reality always wins in the end.
There will be lawyers.
Fuck these fucking interesting times.
And we’re all out of bubblegum.
