My favorite wealth inequality video has been updated! Please, if you stumble across this post, watch the video. Everyone should know about this. Tax the uber-wealthy

The Great Escape for Tax Purposes

Some of us watched this movie too many times as children.

I’ve seen at least one season of five of these. Yes, five. I don’t watch much tv, but this still seems low.

The kids in the Texas Longhorns student section understand what America is better than Bo French ever will. And a political movement that looks at those beaming faces and sees a threat has told you everything you need to know about what’s actually in its heart. (Link below)

If you don’t celebrate Rice Truck Day, I encourage you to read the thread and join the party! 😂😂

All the world’s a stage…

Farewell and Godspeed to a truly amazing person.

Optimist: the cup is half full Pessimist: the cup is half empty Veterinarian: WHAT was in the cup when your dog drank it?!? Alternate: when I said your dog could have 1/2 cup of food twice a day, I did not mean a big gulp cup.

Found this recording of Rita Moreno performing “Fever” on The Muppet Show from 1976. 14/10

I describe my hatchback Prius’s carrying capacity as a bag of holding. It’s amazing how much he can fit, especially with a seat down. And 500+ miles/tank of gas!

Ten non-horror movies to get to know me. In no particular order. The cat from outer space Summer magic My fair lady Blazing saddles Maverick Sliding doors Clue Star Trek: generations Rocky horror picture show The lorax

Every bloody word of Jo’s blog post is truth.

A) Signed, unsigned, kid’s, antique, oversized/coffee table, bibles, photograph albums each have a section. B) Then signed/unsigned alpha by last name C) Then series: reading order (not alpha by title) Also stacks of books waiting to be shelved. It makes sense to me!

Pure joy. (Except I don’t really like most fish. Or mustard. Or mint.)

Related to my last repost, and this is ¡important!

I hope they do The Aeneid next.

CEOs of the largest companies in America make 281 times what the typical worker makes. Since 1978, pay for these CEOs has skyrocketed 1,094%. Typical worker pay? 26%. So no, your $5 coffee isn’t why you can’t afford rent.

The strangest thing about Loop game is that, the more wild guesses I make, the better my score! THE LOOP Windmill: Jul 9 ✅ 🟢🟢🟢🟢🟢

I’ve known Jack for many eons. He boldly and conscientiously serves the people of California 54th. He wrote the book on Jesus. I have no doubt that even if he stopped breathing for many days that he would be continuing to work for the best interests of all. He spoke to Mitch. Undeniable fact.

This thread. 👏🏼

(There are two atypical editing oversights in the review. First, in the second graf, the introduction of the quote from “Angels” should read: “my personal favorite insult” and later down there’s a link missing to a performance of the original version, here: youtu.be/lvVtFD9Na0I?...)

A reminder: the largely admirable nation the "Founding Fathers" announced 250 years ago denied the vote to all women, most minorities, many poor whites. It enabled slavery, forbade laws to curb it 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 If you're not a rich white guy and you have rights - thank a liberal

Remember: The real freeloaders in this country are the rich — not the poor or immigrants or any other group of people vilified as scapegoats. The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year. The United States literally has yacht and private jet tax deductions. Hello?

Mel Brooks has been around for 40% of the US's existence.

Do it

This should have been an amazing summer. We should be celebrating 250 years of the great experiment that is the USA. I am sad because that joy was ripped from us. From my kids. It should have been incredible. Instead it’s just pathetic.

Too cute!

When insurance coverage for her husband’s lifesaving care was denied, Teressa didn’t stand down. She fought back and won. She found the secret to winning buried deep in her insurance coverage booklet. Listen to her story on "Paper Trail": www.propublica.org/podcast/heal...

As Jeff said... fast forward to the 1:00:00 mark in this: youtu.be/DXbh5sf4YPc (Then pop back, because the whole thing is awesome, like Cyndi Lauper doing I Want To Break Free).

A) beautiful idea B) awful circumstances C) anti-vaxxers are idiots who put us all at risk
