Trump’s tax law cut the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%.

What did corporations do with the money saved?

They didn’t invest it or raise wages.

They spent a record $1 trillion on stock buybacks the year after the law went into effect.

Nothing trickled down to workers.

I’d watch that, but I’d rather watch an event where people try to roast the ice cream man as hilariously as this little British girl: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZPREqNbJe/ 😂

Is it time for another of the Lancet's collections of "Excuses given for vacuum-cleaner injuries to penises."

Normally it's a number for their Xmas/ NY edition, but there's no particular time frame.
Or is there?

What a week of fireworks!

From SCOTUS blowing up the rule of law…

to the Biden/Stephanopoulos interview…

to Trump playing dumb about his own Project 2025…

Heather Lofthouse of @imcivicaction & I get into it all in the Coffee Klatch. Watch this:

Imagine the media jumping on Trump after the verdict like they have on Biden after the debate. Crazy thought!

@georgetakei grounding was the least thing to do.

What I would have done would be that he'd have to come clean about the prank to the girl and apologize. Then as an apology offer money for a fine dining dinner at a central location on his expense from his monthly allowance. He wouldn't be at the dinner.

What a dimwit son, I would have made him do all the chores in addition. 😡

The is merely correcting our misunderstanding of the Constitution. You thought "execute the Office" was about faithfully following the laws? Silly you. Execute means kill and now the can kill his office and any laws (or political opponents) he doesn't like. No idea why it took the six of them over 100 pages to explain such a silly little mistake.

@georgetakei Bad situation all around. I would contact the host privately and respectfully decline, giving my reason without judgment and asking if they’d be interested in a more personal get together later, if it seemed necessary.

I have allergies, so I can see both sides. Vegans have strong aversions to eating meat (by anyone) that aren’t as deadly serious as allergies, but should be respected in their own home.

Absent a major illness or long-term job loss, three months is not a stay; it's moving in. If it's her boyfriend, she needs another one. Might be what he was trying to tell her with this stunt. This guy has issues she doesn't need to live with for life.

@georgetakei I do not see much discussion of the approach of having a conversation with the other person where you explain how their behavior (lack of initiation of social situations) make her feel and giving the other person a chance to talk.

Might be a little more productive than a more passive approach, giving the latter might verge on passive-aggresive depending on context.

Egalitarian oddity found in the Neolithic

Men, women, and immigrants all seemed to have similar dietary inputs.

Even if they all ate the same beast, some ate the tenderloin, some the T-bone, and some the chuck and the other tough cuts.

I don't think the remains tell us that much detail on the diet.
