I'm a Covid cautious person doing my best to avoid plague carriers. Splitting my plague era between Maui and the PNW.

I've been a one man tech support guru for ages. I mostly do managed solutions / sysadmin type stuff for small businesses and remote tech support for end users, chiefly in the greater Seattle area. I like being exposed to a wide range of technical challenges.

The effective federal corporate income tax rate:

1950: 50%
1990: 25%
2020: 13%

Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate.

That is how we will pay for it.

@rbreich Half my city's current police annual budget would pay for market rate studio apartments for every homeless person in the city. That is also how we could pay for "it."

@arstechnica It's been widely reported at other affected dairies as well. This virus is absolutely lethal in cats. Half of 24 farm cats at the one dairy where they took samples died.

@arstechnica I recall earlier in the pandemic there was a man who had gotten vaccinated a ton, for fraud purposes. He'd get people legitimate proof of vaccination cards by filling out the forms using their names and actually getting vaccinated.
