The RNC tried to push Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio in 2016, they failed because Trump has charisma and is capable of winning over vast swathes of voters through his open racism and disdain towards existing social norms. The RNC will try to push Ron DeSantis, but who is DeSantis going to win over? DeSantis' base is exactly the same as Trump's, but they like Trump more. This is like if the RNC was trying to force RC Cola down the throats of Coke fans.

Gsry Ostroff We owe about 75% of it to ourselves. It's akin to your taking next year's paycheck and spending it today, except you work for yourself. It all works out . . . until you stop working. Here, our issue is GDP isn't growing fast enough to increase tax revenues to pay the debt, AND interest rates are rising and thus increasing the burden. On top of all that, we have a shockingly ignorant electorate that doesn't understand these items and thinks somehow, magically, we can spend forever. In the next 10 years, the federal government probably will cut almost all non-essential spending; then we'll cut military spending; then, finally, entitlements. No. We'll never get a notice in the mail. And yet, we'll be out of borrowing capacity.

I just bought two test kits (4 tests), at $23.99 each. That’s an expense that a great many people can’t afford. If the public is expected to rely on home tests for important information, Congress must fund wide distribution directly through local/regional public health agencies.

Listening to Newt sneer about Gaetz reminded me of the Superbowl Sunday, football, what year? Well, it had to be after the start of the Iraq War, because I was working a protest picket line against the war and the President was G.W. Bush, "Dubya". (It was 2002).Even I knew that it was Superbowl Sunday. I wasn't ignorant of the status of that day, that the teams would be the best of the best of the best, that it was a high domestic violence day, that for a few hours every hard-core American man would be tossing back some suds and scarfing down corn chips and the world would stop in awe.Later we learned that W had been scarfing down the ole pretzels..... choked on one..... and fell unconscious to the floor, hitting his head on the coffee table as he fell.Only the surprised barking of his little dog alerted Laura to check on him and she yelled for help.Now, what's wrong with this picture?That was the year that I learned that Republican men really hated other Republican men.There were no guests at W's White House on that day.W was watching the game alone.Newt, having done his stint as Ambassador to the Papal State, is back, sneering again at fellow Republican men.And all Ican say, Newt, is that this man is your spawn.Matt Gaetz is what you have wrought.He is the logical extension to your ideology, A son, not in flesh, but in purpose and mind.Once, you, Newt, were the "Lord of the Flies".But now your Party is just weak tea.

Wiltontraveler Of course the problem is that not all Democrats want to get rid of the debt limit, so they didn't have the votes to do so. Many Dems did not want to pay off the $7T debt racked up by Trump, McConnell & Ryan with their really irresponsible tax cuts for rich people and multinational corporations. Republicans have voted to raise the debt limit many times in the past, casting it as a necessary move in order to preserve the full faith and credit of the US economy. They are only refusing to do so now because the GOP is home to quite a few political terrorists.

Discovered in 1922 by Banting and Best who then sold to the patent to the university of Toronto for they felt costs must be kept low. Nearly 100 years later insulin caravans headed north to buy it at $35.00 Cdn, with no doctors script needed. Of course they voided local inventories so that now one must have a Canadian health card to buy it. US big pharma has toyed with the original formula to get patents for themselves thus the higher, obscene costs in the States

I have never heard of candles being outright prohibited in a New York City coop or condo, so I am skeptical. Yet who would make up a question like this? So I am just going to assume it is real (though you know I am very skeptical). Shabbat candles are odorless, at least to me they are, usually there is just one little odorless wax one, you are not likely to be caught using them. Since when is high quality incense not odorous compared to low quality?? This whole letter has me skeptical. Okay, who would make this up? My inside New York advice is to burn your incense and do some practical measures to lessen the odor such as opening a window, using an air purifier, limiting use to 15 minutes, not using a particularly odorous brand of incense, not lighting the incense in a room that has a vent because the vent probably connects to other apartments above and below. Usually the vent is in a windowless room such as a kitchen or bathroom. Don't have a heart attack if you are fined $100, it is worth the risk. If you really have a problem with all this, take the condo to court after you are fined, represent yourself and don't spend a lot on court costs. Be civil.

Shane The expected grid generation expansion rate required to support EVs is around 1% a year for 30 years (and 0.33% a year for capacity). I don't know anyone who thinks that 1% a year will be a problem. Renewables alone are being added to the grid much more quickly than that.Since capacity is not heavily impacted, the increased electricity consumption due to EVs will actually make electricity cheaper for consumers (i.e. it will be more weighted on generation and less weighted on transmission, and as you know generation is very cheap while transmission is very expensive in California).Generally speaking, it should be a good thing. If the state doesn't mess it up, anyway.

S Lawrence You can disagree all you want, but that doesn’t change reality. High birth rates are a response to poverty. In fact, having a lot of children in a poor country is often the only investment parents have for old age. If you want to slow birth rates, you need to invest in education and infrastructure, and improve women’s rights. The birth rate will fall as a result. This is how most “advanced”, prosperous, low birth rate countries became so.

Now, as Warren B testified, it's less than 15% and the top 1% holds 90% of the wealth. It's really difficult to guess what needs to happen now? Warren B offered to write a book for the multi-billionaires or the 1%er's "How to live on $100M per year".It's not difficult and it could keep the planet survivable for humans...maybe?

"In particular, McElroy urges the church to shelve any meaningful judgment on sexual relationships and to open communion to “all of the baptized,” presumably including Protestants. "Someone should tell Douthat that the Sulpicians of Notre Dame, in Montreal -- le Jérusalem en terre froide" -- call to Communion each Sunday all those who believe in Christ. The horror, oh the horror. Concerning the judging people's sexual relationships, the priesthood does not actually lack experience of such relationships -- though where it exists it is usually not of a healthy or honest sexuality. Nobody's perfect.And Cardinal Pell does not exactly represent a model of clerical behaviour, although he beat the rap.There is nothing wrong with the Roman Cattholic Church that could not be cured by abandoning the imperial ambitions of a millenium, and returning to the teachings of its alleged Founder, rather than continuing to elaborate those of 1000 years of conspiring Curial bureaucrats.

"content": "\"In particular, McElroy urges the church to shelve any meaningful judgment on sexual relationships and to open communion to “all of the baptized,” presumably including Protestants. \"Someone should tell Douthat that the Sulpicians of Notre Dame, in Montreal -- le Jérusalem en terre froide\" -- call to Communion each Sunday all those who believe in Christ. The horror, oh the horror. Concerning the judging people's sexual relationships, the priesthood does not actually lack experience of such relationships -- though where it exists it is usually not of a healthy or honest sexuality. Nobody's perfect.And Cardinal Pell does not exactly represent a model of clerical behaviour, although he beat the rap.There is nothing wrong with the Roman Cattholic Church that could not be cured by abandoning the imperial ambitions of a millenium, and returning to the teachings of its alleged Founder, rather than continuing to elaborate those of 1000 years of conspiring Curial bureaucrats.\n",

This accounting is very misleading. The biggest spending item on the ticket is by far “defense” and a black-hole intelligence. The fact is, we don’t need to spend trillions in having military bases all over the world and supporting and starting wars that we have no business in. Our defense budget is STILL larger than the next 5 combined, including Russia and China and our deficit is approaching world war 2 levels, even though the world is not at war. If we’re going to deficit spend through the ceiling, let’s do it to have universal healthcare, fix our roads and build houses for the homeless. But instead we *choose* to deficit spend to escalate every conflict on earth, including with nuclear powers. Let’s choose to cut the money on war and invest in our own country for once.

Gaul you are wrong about a family making $400,000 in NYC not being wealthy.I live in the borough of Queens. Until my youngest child was in high school I was a stay at home mom. Even when I returned to full time employment we NEVER earned that kind of money, not even half that amount.Yet we owed our own house, one car, put three kids through private school and summer camp.How did we do it?We budgeted. We rarely ate out and even that was pizza or Chinese takeout. We took road trip vacations. We told our kids to only apply to CUNY or SUNY schools unless they were willing to take on debt (three proud graduates who are now gainfully employed). We use credit cards but paid off the bill every month. We go to the supermarket to shop instead of pricey deliveries . We use public transportation.AND WE PAY OUR TAXES!!!So don’t tell me families who make $400,000 aren’t wealthy. They are just spending it without thinking so they can keep up with the Kardashians.

It's amusing to see non-Californians here commenting that "California needs to do more!" Um, we do more than any other state--that's why we are a magnet for hundreds of thousands of homeless from around the globe. California spent tens of billions of dollars of state and federal stimulus funding buying hotels and motels and converting them into free housing. We spend tens of billions, annually, on food, medical, and other free services for homeless, most of whom are addicted to alcohol and drugs. Not only are these folks unwilling to work, but they are also not wanting to give up their riverside digs in our public parks to live in a shelter. This is a classic example of "if you build a welfare state, you will attract welfare recipients"--the comments that somehow we are not doing enough is the icing on the cake.

B Skepticism aside, it's way too late to stop or even realistically control A.I. The genie is literally out of the bottle, with more sophisticated iterations of A.I. to come. There's too much financial momentum behind it. OpenAI, the research lab behind the viral ChatGPT chatbot, is in talks to sell existing shares in a tender offer that would value the company at around $29 billion, making it one of the most valuable U.S. startups on paper. Microsoft Corp. has also been in advanced talks to increase its investment in OpenAI. In 2019, Microsoft invested $1 billion in OpenAI and became its preferred partner for commercializing new technologies for services like the search engine Bing and the design app Microsoft Design. Other backers include Tesla CEO Elon Musk, LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman. There are over 100 AI companies developing various Machine learning tasks, new features coming daily. ChatGPT is a genuine productivity boost and a technological wonder. It can write code in Python, TypeScript, and many other languages at my command. It does have bugs in the code, but they are fixable. The possibilities are endless. I can't imagine what version 2.0 or 3.0 would look like. For better and/or worse, this is the future. It is incredible, even at this early stage. This technology is mind-blowing and will unquestionably change the world. As Victor Hugo said, " A force more powerful than all of the armies in the world is an idea whose time has come." Indeed it has.

Congratulations NYT on an excellent article. Unlike similar articles in the European media, you emphasise "the lengthy environmental studies and other work required to open a mining facility in Europe". Fortunately the Per Geijer deposits are only about 2-4 km from the Kiruna mine which has operated for close to a century and developing the deposit will be logically simpler and less likely to attract opposition than a mine in an isolated area (or one near a major city).

Ron May I don’t own any nasdaq specific funds. My main stock fund, VTSAX, is down 18% from a year ago. I’m rooting for it to drop further. For a young accumulator who still collects a regular paycheck, a bear market is what you want. Better to buy when something is $1 than when the exact same thing is $2. If you don’t have to stomach to aggressively buy when the stock market is tanking, then a financial planner would be a good idea for you.

Those awful tabloids, that lied to so many here about the benefits of leaving the EU- from £350m weekly promises to the NHS, to a 8% reduction in the cost of living. These were lies, told by politicians and repeated by tabloids that did not bother to examine them.And here we now are, 6 years later, So much more poorer and aggrieved.While the politicians and tabloids that told these lies, face zero consequences for gaslighting the country.

I studied in the US and worked there for almost 2 decades. I have concluded that America is exceptional in the following ways:(1) It attracts extremely bright immigrants from overseas. (When I graduated from college in India, I had no offers from India, but I had a guaranteed scholarship from America, 6 months before I graduated. I know dozens of people who have had the same experience). Very few other countries can do this.(2) American's are ver open to immigrants. Some may dispute this, but by and large, I have encountered a welcoming attitude.(3) In no other country can an immigrant become a millionaire (or even a billionaire) in one generation. America owes this to the exceptional dynamism of its technology and entrepreneurial economy. This is the path to the American Dream.(4) America offers little or no government funded social support to its citizens and workers. You sink or swim. If you cannot swim (for reasons you can't control), you are screwed.(5) Americans think they are the center of the world. Or, alternately, nothing of consequence exists outside America.(6) Despite being a nation of immigrants, it is striking how few Americans are bilingual.(7) Americans believe they are the freest people in the world. They are, however, in bondage to a darwinian economic system. Many can't quit or switch jobs for fear of losing their health-insurance. They work longer than anyone else. Cogs in a huge wheel.(8) Every scam on the plant was invented in the US first.

Here’s what I hated the most, the $1000.00 surprise bill from the anesthesiologist, I had asked weeks before the procedure the gastroenterologist to confirm my insurance covered the cost, and the day I checked into the clinic I again asked if my insurance covered the procedure. I was assured my out of pocket cost would be zero. SURPRISE, two weeks later I got a $1000 bill from the anesthesiologist. Apparently, the sedation part is a luxury add-on that my Blue Cross/Blue Shield insurance plan doesn’t pay for.

It's not a good idea to use specious "studies" to frighten an anxiety ridden public any further; especially when you're being plainly dishonest about the real goals. If the health effects of "cooking with gas" are so bad the simplest solution by far is to crack open a window. Net Zero emissions might be a laudable goal but banning gas stoves isn't going to make much progress. And it's going to add to the public opposition toward the changes that might actually help. I would think that the public-relations fiasco of the near universal push to "eat bugs, not beef" would have taught some people a lesson. And many of us, considering how often the electric service is interrupted by bad weather or road salt, would rather have two seperate sources of power in our homes. I can't even imagine what it would be like to lose electricity, hot water, heat, and the ability to cook, all at once on a wintery day. And what do you mean by "certain types of cookware"?

Thomas Moore So true; my wife and I retired in Aug 22, she's 60 and I'm 65. I get Medicare plus I signed up for a Plan G and a Part D so my total costs are $300 per month and $233 per year max out of pocket. My wife has an ACA policy that costs around $900 per month but pays for virtually nothing so all her actual health care costs are on top of this premium; total costs around $13k per year. All the ACA policy does for her is limit max out of pocket to around $35,000 per year in real term costs. My point really is that many people under 65 can't afford to not work because they need HC.One idea that I wish that the left would resurrect is the ability for people 55 (or even 60) or older to buy into Medicare for say $800 per month; it would mean that many people would retire at 55 or 60 because they can afford to. But I guess there are people on the right who don't want to empower ordinary folks, they like having them bound to the workplace like serfs.Wealth imbalance is the net outcome of all these shenanigans and it's getting worse every day. Civil War 2.0 could well happen in my lifetime; what's needed is a new Green New Deal.

Very mixed feelings about this. Another misguided utopian blunder: First, as some commenters have already mentioned - what about donating bikes to our own citizens who could use them? Instead of to people who are here, let's face it, illegally? But also, as has also been mentioned - & this is a big one - to unleash people who are ignorant of the rules of navigating the streets is more of a danger to our citizens than anything else. As a committed bicyclist myself I can't emphasize how dangerous it is to open the streets to people who are clueless. It would be better to spend resources on e.g. stopping E-bikes from using the bike paths - they are silent killers and lethal when they speed by your elbow like you're standing still with no warning. I know cuz I woke up in the Mt Sinai Emergency Room after being hit by one. I was lucky but again, why not have cops stop this hazardous activity. They are motorized vehicles not bikes. And now to have people who likely don't speak the language much less read the signs - sounds like a bad joke. Whoever came up with this one must be gettin' some good hits.

sedanchair, you were not considered bad guys at the time you were allies. There were huge investments to Russia, including Volkswagen plant in Kaluga and many EuroChem chemical plants in many locations. Recall the IKEA stores and many other western brands in Moscow and St. Petersburg. Russia prospered from selling energy to Europe. Europe disarmed itself: last US tanks left the European soil 4 April 2013, and many countries discontinued conscription, including Germany and Sweden in 2010. St. Petersburgers made shopping trips to Helsinki and Finns took the 3-hour fast train to sightsee St. Petersburg.It's mind-boggling how delusions of a single man reversed it all.

I so appreciate Dame and his loyalty to Portland. He believes in us—the community, the fans, the team, the back office, the potential—this means a lot to me after what Portland has been through and my faith in our city has wavered. Dame keeps reminding us of what being a champion truly means, especially off the court and in the off season: generosity, openness, integrity, dedication, and vision. He deserves the accolades for his athletic achievements, his physicality so to speak but Dame’s got transcendent metaphysicality, too. (He’ll be a great coach someday, if that’s what he aims to do.) The Blazers are a great team, and I am a proud fan no matter what.

My Fellow Americans,Some of you believe that Ron DeSantis is the way out of this political mess, and a voice of reason.- He did not panic during COVID, and opened schools and businesses.- He doesn't believe 3rd Graders should be taught about transgender people.Ron DeSantis is not on "team normal".- He flew up to Pennsylvania to campaign for Doug Mastriano.- He was a founding member of the Freedom Caucus when he was in Congress. Along with Jim Jordan, et al.A President DeSantis would be America's Viktor Orban (Hungary, CPAC).

As someone who is sitting VERY comfortably in a an old CT home - circa 1940 and who just upgraded to heat pumps from oil boiler and R60 insulation and foam EVERYWHERE, I can provide an enthusiastic endorsement. It's not cheap, $80K before tax rebates and incentives from the state - no federal $ because we completed the work in '22 - $60K our cost for a 2300 sq ft house. With low cost loans - 0% & 2.9%, our monthly nut is less than what most people pay for auto loans.It was a great pleasure to call the oil company last week to stop the monthly billing of over $600!As for the stove/range issue, it's been IMPOSSIBLE to order the unit I really want for the past 6 months - one that would reduce my gas usage...so I am moving on and ordering a gas unit instead...we tried!

Biden did not have this stuff in storage after leaving office. He had it in his think tank. What does someone do with research materials at a think tank? It isn't keeping secrets. It is informing the work product of the think tank.Trump just stored the stuff insecurely. Biden took it to the Penn Biden Center think tank offices, and used it there. Used it. After the Center opened, half way through Trump's term of office.So no it is not like Trump. It is worse.Fine, let's fix the broken system. This is absurd.

magicisnotreal Pensions are a thing of the past, because they are prohibitively expensive to run. I've seen a company with approximately 30 employees active and maybe 20 retired, on the pension (that's being generous, it was probably more like 10) - it cost almost $100K per month for the company to fund. They are being dissolved left and right. Couldn't really follow anything else you said to be honest, except for the typical "blame literally anything on the republicans even though the same two corrupt parties have ruled our country for a century and are both equally complicit."

Perhaps you need to be a federal appellate attorney with 20+ years experience to understand how clever Douthat is in pretending to write about one thing, here the Brazilian insurrection, while actually arguing in defense of the GOP.Douthat only pretends to distinguish what happened in Brazil and the US. He argues that both were doomed from the start so are in fundamental ways the same. Watch Douthat's left hand, not the right he's waving in your face.This is about Brazil only as far as Douthat exploits it. It's a companion piece to his previous editorial arguing that the GOP is now as it was before Trump. He misdirected readers from the reality of a radical Hard-Right GOP acting exactly the same as Trump, how Trumpism fully consumed the GOP, and how everything the GOP does is a direct extension of the January 6th insurrection.Douthat confines the January 6th insurrection to Trump and a tiny group of his closest cohorts alone, which is untrue. He writes: "The ambition, which belonged to Donald Trump and his shrunken inner circle, aimed to provoke a constitutional crisis." As to Trump's insurrectionists, we get this: "The futility belonged to the rioters, whose violence and vandalism was an expression of dreampolitik rather than a coup — its plan for success nonexistent, its end in mass arrests and imprisonment foreordained." The findings of January 6th Commission show an attempted coup, not "dreampolitik", yet Douthat calls them: "Empty and grifting and fantastical".

Terry The problem is that every improvement over "original insulin" is independently patentable. Improvements on extended release, reactions, injections, etc. Many people would not tolerate "original insulin" well. But, yes, it is still price gouging, via oligopoly.And the mere fact that people with insurance only pay $30 /month out of pocket, does not change the fact that the Pharma companies still charge the insurance companies 100s to thousands, and that all gets passed on to your employer and hence, effectively, out of your paycheck. It just buries the cost where you can't see it.

He doesn't think twice about how all that new housing, clothes, cars, is destroying our earth beyond repair. Wasn't there a recent story about 11 billion people being way too much to sustain? Use your imagination and find another metric for human happiness other than unbridled growth. Growth does not equal development or the answer to a better future for all. Tax the rich not the young.

Feels like this piece is missing some links, mostly back to the source of this most recent resurgence in racial animosity and chaos making - the election of Barack Obama as president. The white nationalists and tinfoil hat brigade have been around forever and coexisted, sometimes in cooperation, sometimes not, for a long time. The Steven Bannons and Alex Joneses of the world used to be losers who lived in their grannies' basements and kept to themselves. But then the internet happened, disparate groups of unhappy, aggrieved people found each other more easily, the gamification of obnoxiousness elevated them, and Obama becoming president scared a lot of them into joining forces, aided by burgeoning social media that allowed it all to fester unchecked. Trump was the apex symptom of the disease, with the 2020 and 2022 elections proving mild treatment against it on the big scale. But the current poison in the discourse continues to worsen until we the people decided we've had enough and run these fools off.

The wife guides the stumbling Harry onto the path she chooses for them is my impression, necessarily alienating him from close family members who might have power to sway him otherwise.Memoir sells big these days as does personal victimization stories, and memoirs that combine royalty and victimhood sell the most copy.

I know it is easy to blame America always, but we are largely blameless. We opened trade with China and this allowed China to industrialize and build its economy. We in the west believe in Free markets and free people. Chinese state adopted a version of capitalism but instead of liberalizing like South Korea and Taiwan decided to become more insular. They restricted access to western products for their citizens. Movies, TV shows had to be censored. American social media companies cannot do business in China. Chinese citizens are not masters of their own destiny as the state dictates every aspect of their lives. Many of us in the west enjoy the benefits of western liberalism, namely - Free markets, Rule of law ( including contract enforcement) and individual rights. In the cold war era, we had to actively defend these values from Soviets. Now, we must brace ourselves to defend them from China. Liberal order will prevail because once people know the values of western liberal order, like Hongkongers, Taiwanese etc they will defend it. We in US, must help them, become the arsenal of democracy, supply planes, ships, munitions to Taiwan to defend themselves. Help Hong Kong citizens by giving the persecuted asylum in the west. We are not responsible for confrontation with China, Chinese state's disregard for Taiwanese and Hongkong citizens aspirations is responsible for this.

But Japan is practically a single-party state by reality.Both Japan and USA have a self-imposed "one-China" policy. I just hope that Taiwan realizes that Japan/US are more about anti-China than pro-Taiwan.If the US really were committed to defending Taiwan from a Chinese invasion, then TSMC would not have been pressured into opening a plant in Arizona.

But why don't you move your most valuable corporate asset to the US. For safekeeping.\"\n",

Bucketomeat --- Santos WAS exposed and it was well before the election and certainly before the Times' post-election investigation. The North Shore Leader, a Republican weekly newspaper in Locust Valley, wrote an editorial saying we'd like to endorse the Republican but can't in this case. They continued by exposing some of Santos's financial irregularities -----claims to be a wealthy financier but skipped out on his rent; wouldn't explain where the $700,000 he "loaned" his campaign came from since his 2020 filing stated $5,000 in assets.....and more. Unfortunately, this bombshell was completely ignored by media with greater reader/viewership like Newsday and News 12. The Democrats most definitely didn't capitalize on it. Why?

Mike M I always laugh when fans contort themselves to justify players making hundreds of millions of dollars to play a ballgame. Charles was not complaining, merely asking a legitimate question. Basic point about franchise appreciation is accurate, and I certainly shed no tears for billionaire owners like Cohen, who can will lose money with his massively bloated payroll while not caring one iota. But it's the whole industry - owners, players and especially TV and sponsors - all responsible for ticket and concession prices skyrocketing to absurd levels. I don't bother anymore. Easier to be a couch potato and enjoy better views in the comfort of home (and mute/ffwd the ads)! BTW, According to RBC research, the average age of retirement for professional baseball players is 29.5, not 27.

Let's not forget "pay transparency" with regards to CEO compensation. We don't talk publicly enough about CEO salaries. Let's use Staples as an example. Like many other retailers, Staples is likely having difficulty recruiting workers. The CEO of Staples, Ronald L. Sargent, has compensation of more than $10 million a year. Why is it acceptable for Mr. Sargent to make that kind of money, when the average hourly rate for entry level retail associates is $10 an hour? Let's focus on CEO's making less, and paying entry level retail associates more. Does anyone really think that Mr. Sargent could not "survive" on $3 million a year? That "savings" of $7 million could go a long way in increasing the wages of entry level associates.

A few thoughts.1. US billionaires total wealth is about $5tln, US spending per year is about $6tln. So if we were to confiscate all the billionaires wealth it would pay for 10 months of spending in one year. 2. Corporate taxes provide a little over 5% of US federal revenues, versus about 9% for OECD countries. Even if we doubled corporate tax revenues, that would only be $250bln/year.3. OECD countries get a great deal of revenue from consumption taxes, typically VAT taxes, which the US doesn't have. VAT taxes are very regressive.4. The tax loopholes that Congress complains about were put into law by....Congress. No one in Congress is looking to simplify the tax code. What would they do all day?5. The talk of needing to go back to 90% tax rates from the 1950s for the wealthy, ignores the fact that the effective tax rate for the top 1% are in the high 30's now, more or less where they were in the 1950s.6. Top tax rates in Europe start at much lower income levels. For example, Denmark's top tax rate starts around $70k.7. You can't hide W2 income, very easy for the IRS to check.8. The Jeff Bezos' of the world have very little in the way of income compared to wealth. So where does he get $500mm to pay for his yacht? He borrows against his stock holdings. That is something that should be taxed, but it doesn't appear that Congress has any interest in doing so.

Probably some commenter has already said this, but as a person whose (mostly fixed) income is a small fraction of the $400,000 mark Mr. Stephens apparently feels isn't enough to live on, I couldn't be more disgusted. Hey, if you need to cheat the federal government to live and you make "north" of $400,000, maybe you should consider a different lifestyle. Most of us ordinary folks have little or no opportunity to cheat to make ends meet. I don't understand why people who have it made think they are the oppressed, and seem to care not a whit about people who really are struggling.

The company has recouped its investment, and it is time to lower the price. Hopefully, the government will use its recently gained power to negotiate Rx costs for ten drugs (why 10? The drug lobby is strong)

Almost 1/4 of our national debt was incurred during the trump years. That coupled with the fact that a large part of it was created by his 2017 tax cuts for corporations and the wealthy. What’s even more comical is that the corporations tax cuts don’t expire but the tax cuts for every day Americans do. It makes you wonder if it’s the debt they care about or just “owning the libs”?

We beat it all back!That's a lie. Humans are complicated and so is life. Sitting in the comfort of our 21st century vantage point, we like to think we'd all be resisters, we all would have hid Jews in our attics. Hardly. And yet, we see from one recent president that rhetoric about "the other" always finds an audience, regardless of the lack of facts surrounding the vitriol. And from media coverage of the many wars and destruction happening all over the globe, only Ukrainians deserve our respect, help and money.Having an actual resister and an actual Nazi/Nazi collaborator side by side is honest. Some gave all, some (unwittingly, or knowingly) aided the enemy. If someone comes away from this exhibit thinking the resistance and the collaboration were all equal, they're an idiot. Only idiots (or actual Nazis) need signs that pointedly tell the visitor which side was evil.

That by extension makes the MAGA Republicans American traitors. Just look at the the Republican MAGA House members including Kevin McCarthy, willing to default on the American Debt. This in turn will cripple our Government and National Economy plus Western Democratic Economies linked to us. Putin wins.

Mary Our family has been plant based for about 4 years, I agree with all you say. However I can't resist any "buy 1, get 1 free" sale on Beyond or Impossible meat. With those I've made Oklahoma onion burgers and Turkish seasoned kebabs. I also love shelf stable protein products such as Soy Jock, which are thin chicken strips perfect for stir fries, and Plant Basics soy products, which I used just last night in a Rogan Josh. That $10 bag of Plant Basics makes 12 huge servings. But I need to flavor them firstwith vegan broth, and for that I mostly use Better Than Bouillon no-chicken and no-beef seasoning pastes.

American Airlines is a crooked company, and I will never fly them again. The last international trip I booked, I paid over $100 to buy insurance in case anything happened. Something did happen, and when I tried to get the ticket refunded, they informed me that I had to go through a third party called Allianz. When I contacted Allianz, I was told that I would need to submit all kinds of paperwork - I don’t even have the list right now if what they asked for, but I assure you it was entirely unreasonable. I soon learned this is was a common scam on American, and that it was virtually impossible to file a claim under this swindler program. Disgusting!!!

Meads That Celebrate Honeys From Around the Globe Heidrun Meadery, which makes mead in the style of Champagne, has teamed up with the World Honey Exchange on a new line of sparkling meads. Heidrun Meadery was opened in 1997 by Gordon Hull, a geologist and former brewer who began making mead, the ancient honey-based fermented beverage, like Champagne, with a second fermentation in the bottle. Originally based in Arcata, in Northern California, 10 years ago he moved his operation and established his own hives further south, in Point Reyes Station, Calif., near San Francisco. His varietal sparkling meads use honeys close to home and farther afield (Marin County Wildflower and Hawaiian Lehua Blossom, for example), each resulting in distinct aromas and flavors, just the way Champagnes are distinguished by terroir and cuvée. Now, to encourage small beekeepers worldwide, he and Michael Zilber, his managing director, have introduced the World Honey Initiative Collection, three new international sparkling meads in partnership with the World Honey Exchange, an organization that helps honey cooperatives. The Ethiopian Geteme Blossom sparkling mead is pale and floral, slightly bitter, with a honeyed aftertaste. Chilean Ulmo Blosson is a deeper gold, with hints of spice and mellow richness. Tanzanian Miombo Wildflower is amber, full-bodied with an alluring smokiness, making it a fine partner for cheese. Heidrun Meadery, which makes mead in the style of Champagne, has teamed up with the World Honey Exchange on a new line of sparkling meads.

The inflation we have been experiencing was never about labor costs. Nor was it about $2000 checks given out years ago. It was about supply chain disruptions and stock buybacks instead of investing in additional capacity. It was also a result of good old-fashioned corporate price gouging. The supply chain bottlenecks are clearing out, and it has had nothing to do with the Fed "disciplining labor." Get the price gouging under control, and inflation will drop below the Fed's targets.

Caroline. Projection much? My life has been wonderful. I have a fantastic family AND enjoyed my work. In fact, a large number of people that became lifelong friends were people that I met while chatting with them at work. People like you can be sad (I’m sorry) and disparage others with different viewpoints (why? Do you need the ego boost?) but if you were to have an open mind, you’ll see that there are plenty of benefits to socializing at work AND at home. Taking a break in the midst of your workday to have some food and trade ideas, talk about non-work stuff, make after-work plans - these are all good things. Eschewing the multicultural lunchroom so you an run home to your sanctuary is just a sign of immaturity. And that’s what’s really sad. You poor thing.

A crack team of legal scholars could probably make a solid case that ALL papers, discussions, drafts of SCOTUS should be open to public review, lest a black-robed aristocracy w life appointments be allowed to conduct the people's business in total secrecy, thus again privileging a powerful few while preventing national participation in or even knowledge of this fundamental aspect of American democracy.

cud Yes, and what happened to all those anti monopoly and anti trust laws, the Sherman that were enacted back in 1890, as a "comprehensive charter of economic liberty aimed at preserving free and unfettered competition as the rule of trade," then the Federal Trade Commission act in 1914 that created the now known FCC? Why, and how, did they become so feckless in preventing this hoarding of capital by the already so privileged?My guess is that we now have the best government money can buy, especially when you consider that the majority of our representatives are, or will be soon, millionaires and billionaires. Even our beloved saint of the liberal democrats, Ms. Pelosi, is worth north of $90 million. Wonder how much our infamous Georges "of many iterations" Santos will walk away with in riches he could only make up as he went along.

Speaking of Lightbulb MomentsI recently researched the man who led the resurgence of the right wing in America post FDR.Turns out his father helped a coup, that killed a populist leader, of a latin country, duly elected, and then, as a reward, reaped 100 million in oil money.And this son, marinated in the old man's catholic capitalism, then married a woman whose father owned billions in gold deposits. It meant estates on millionaires' row, servants, Christmas in Switzerland, and a media conglomerate where this scion concocted an ingenuous defense for the crimes of people like his father.He pointed at communism and threatened Americans it was coming here.Now, most of us know, as well as Orwell (a socialist) that communism is abhorrent. It's a comprehensive dictatorship with no ethics or accountability, that excuses any crime its leader deems necessary.It could not be more opposite our thoughtful Scandinavian democracies.We all are aware, aren't we that their North Sea oil profits went into a citizen's sovereign fund. Imagine how that must terrify the Kochs!My neighbors fathers were Swedes and Norwegians, who read and respected their "Wobbly" International Workers of the World newspapers.They arrived here in 1900 from countries that had been 99% literate for 200 years! As we face a sick planet, extinction, obscene concentration of wealth and profits for the one percent, the most forward step we can take is back to the Scandinavian example.

"...declining population creates two major problems for economic management" - They'll just have to deal with it, and so will we.I agree with the assessment, but it reads a lot like keeping the party going to delay the onset of the hangover.This insane population growth will cycle down, it's happening naturally across all advanced economies. To artificially hold it back will only result in a more precipitous fall from a greater height.Those who decry population decline point to innovation as the solution we all seem so unwilling to accept.Their micro-sighted vision speaks of a world where not only population but also per capita consumption growth allow our economies to forever expand under our current economic model (which predates dinosaurs).We will at some point need to feed 50 billion people who consume more than we do today all while reversing centuries of climate change? No big deal, you worry too much, innovation will take care of it, Elon said it.Innovation can address that but not a medicare funding deficit? Please. What happened to all the robots and AI that were supposed to replace humans, are they funded by lamaze classes?We definitely can't continue to abuse our limited resources at an ever greater rate, that's not logical thinking.

A quick search on Zillow shows a nice assortment of single family homes in Fort Lee under $1M. You should have highlighted some of these, since they would be the perfect "move up" homes for those who want to settle in a historical, leafy suburban locale with a diverse population, good schools, some decent restaurants, a busy downtown, and (relatively) easy access to Manhattan.Showcasing only two single family homes with prices well over $3M does a disservice to many of these potential residents, I believe.

PATRICK: It's important to do the math and not make assumptions. At the moment, the least expensive carton of eggs at my supermarket is $5.79. A dozen large eggs is 24 ounces (1-1/2 lb). The least expensive chicken option is boneless, skinless breast (surprisingly) for $2.99 per pound or $4.48 for 1-1/2 lb.Eggs are a little more calorie dense at 140 calories for 2 eggs (4 oz.) vs. 110 calories for 4 oz. of boneless, skinless chicken breast.In any case, I'd say that in my local market, chicken comes out ahead in value at least for the moment.

Why is Krugman always talking about debt to GDP? A far more relevant data point is debt-to-tax income.The US currently spends about 11% of all Federal spending on servicing its debt. And don't forget, some of that Federal spending itself is funded by debt.In effect, the US is running a deficit (taking on more debt) so that it can pay its debt obligations.On top of that, much of those debt payments are for debt incurred at extremely low interest rates. If interests rates double (they have more than tripled recently) then debt payments double too.If you don't think that is a serious problem then you are a Not Very Serious Person.

I was one of 4000 people laid off at a tech company 2 weeks before Xmas. (We get there’s never a good time to do it, but good lord there’s a bad time & they picked the absolute worst!) After literally winning awards and getting the best review of my life, I was axed 2 months later for no good reason. My previous employers have handled things a lot better than others, I will give them that. But man it’s a low bar & the WebEx call was a 7 minute nightmare, I think I would have preferred an email. The only reason they’re being so “generous” with severance and transition options is because they KNOW these layoffs are BS. The stock price is just fine, balance sheets are healthy and there’s plenty of money in the bank. Yet they’ve all convinced themselves that despite so much evidence to the contrary, a recession is imminent and all they know how to do is lay people off in response. The same call they announced layoffs, they also announced that they had the best quarter in the company’s history. At this point it’s just companies copying each other and others doing it because they’ve got the cover of an “imminent recession” that may never materialize & everyone else is doing it so why not us mentality. It’s already backfiring and will only get worse. We heard nothing but moaning about retention being the number one issue the last 2 years then they turn around & do this! But it’s truly their loss. Smart companies invest in a downturn, not lay people off. It’s so shortsighted.

If 12% of Democrats are vegetarian while only 6% of Republicans are, that's yet another happy factoid for the future of the Nation. People over 60 who are vegetarians live a couple of years longer than do non-vegetarians. Over several decades that will be a lot more Republicans dying earlier than Dems.It's likely that Blue counties' lower mortality from Covid made a significant difference to the squeaker midterms just past. This will extend the trend.Keep it up, R's!

When CEOs and managers start talking about employees as 'family', you know trouble is brewing. Nobody fires their family to increase profits like Microsoft just did. For the record, MS had record profits and revenue in 2022.

Maybe it´s about time to cross the aisle and strike a deal. Even with no deal, vote the republican guy into office and humiliate him. He would be so weak afterwards, lifted on the pedestal by the wrong party.Also show that the every time the harebrained twenty want to obstruct other constructive lawmakers they will get a lot of flak from the middle and over the aisle. Show them that a moderate right and a moderate left can find a middle ground. And if there´s a deal, first of all, shoot down the NY imposter that was spending 40.000$ on flight tickets with the unclear origin and with the 700.000$ of campaign financing hiding in the cloakroom. Maybe it´s not time to defund the IRS yet.

Here we go again. The estimated uncollected federal taxes is 450 billion and 600 billion EVERY YEAR. Enough to cover the entire deficit and pay down the federal debt as well. Second, the audit rate by income has steadily declined for the wealthy for the last decade. Third, called the IRS lately? All these problems are due to lack of IRS funding. So the only logical conclusion is House Republicans endorse tax cheats, the wealthy and poor service.
