I was just caught behind an old guy counting out exact change and, instead of being annoyed (I don't want to do my work today no way), I just kind of marveled by how much society must have changed since that guy was a kid.
And then, marveled at how much it's changed since I was.

What are we doing on the Judiciary Committee to address ongoing corruption at the Supreme Court? That's not an idle question. I literally DO NOT KNOW what the Democrats are doing, or even trying to do.

The Supreme Court has done the best thing we can hope for with this Republican controlled court: it stayed the hell out of an issue. Al Gore's internet might still be broken, but the Court saved it by not trying to fix it.

Everyone has been gone from the house for the weekend but me and the critters (2 ancient dogs, 2 sassy cats, 1 bearded dragon) and I am enjoying the clean, quiet solitude.

A 5-4 decision in a case involving foreign accounts (Bittner) brought together odd alliances on the US Supreme Court: Gorsuch, Jackson, Roberts, Alito and Kavanaugh in the majority; Barrett, Thomas, Sotomayor and Kagan in the minority. #TaxSpout

My idea to use "The Full Dirty" for the headline was not well-received. Still, be careful what you open and click. Oh, and don't get your tax advice on social media. #TaxSpout

To recap this week's news: Donald Trump and Clarence Thomas were both accused of public corruption but it's okay because neither of them used a bullhorn so Tennessee expelled two black guys who want to stop the NRA from murdering children Texas forces people to give birth to.

Can someone explain to me why, when it comes to taxes, Rs say that it's your money, but when it comes to Social Security, they do all that they can to make sure you can never collect it?

For me, President Biden saying that those of us making under $400,000 (!) will not pay a penny more in taxes is the 🏔️ and saying the rich WILL pay more is da 💣
Excellent speech President Biden! Reassurance on social security, Medicare, jobs, the economy, and so much more good news!

I used to think the top tax rate should be 100% because that's what you owe the society that provided the opportunity to become a billionaire. Now I'm convinced that ~all billionaires are so dangerously stupid we have a duty to protect civilization from their terrible impulsive financial decisions.

This is going to stuff up the prolific users of #auspol . The pollies are also going to take umbrage over the video limits unless they charge their #TwitterBlue accounts to the taxpayer. Or #ElonMusk waives the fees for ‘special’ people, the way Alan Joyce dispenses Chairman Lounge membership.

100 million+ working-age Americans contracted Covid, according to the CDC. About 1/3 of those got long-term symptoms. That's 30 million+ of working age. About 1/3 of those stopped working, at least for a while. There's your labor shortage https://tinyurl.com/29ceptvd
