Let me see if I understand this . . . 1. The U.S. is at war with Iran. 2. Russia is helping Iran in that war. 3. The U.S. is now giving Russia money that it can use to help Iran destroy U.S. bases and kill U.S. troops. Donald is smart & patriotic like that.

We are sanctioning the ICC because we are a country that commits war crimes. We are buying diesel from Russia to fund Putin’s war machine because we are a country that likes *other* countries that commit war crimes.

Families going into more debt just to get by. Total cost to American borrowers of Trump’s broken promise to cap credit card interest rates: $94.9B. Share of each extra dollar of income going to household debt: 52¢. Take-home income up $109/month since 2022; debt payments up $57.

Over the next while, I'm going to be making a thread of the cards in my hand drawn Legacy Bone Miser deck. I finished this project up back in September of 2023.
The full deck, laid out on a grey sheet. There are 6 tokens and 75 cards for the deck and sideboard. The deck is drawn in black and red ink and are mostly panoramic images.

The GOP cut funding to the IRS because *audits work* and they fundamentally don't believe rich people should have to play by the rules.
Line chart titled "Revenue per audit," subtitled "In-person audits, 2010-2014." It plots average revenue and average cost per audit by taxpayer income percentile, poorer to richer, from the 0–5th percentile to the top 0.1%. Source: Boning et al. 2023, "A Welfare Analysis of Tax Audits Across the Income Distribution."

Across the bottom half of the income distribution, revenue and cost track closely, both around $3,000–$6,000 per audit. Above the median, revenue pulls ahead of cost: about $10,000 vs. $5,000 near the 90th percentile, and about $17,000 vs. $8,000 at the 95th–99th. At the top, revenue jumps to about $31,000 for the 99–99.9th percentile and about $90,000 for the top 0.1%.

A couple quick observations here, which should be obvious. 1) insurance “risk pools” work by requiring younger/healthier people who make few or no claims to sign up and pay premiums alongside older/less healthy people who do, essentially covering their costs.

Was going to make a comic about a funny ADHD situation but you know what, it wasn't funny and I cried because I'm just so exhausted before the day even starts (I have a book linktr.ee/adhdalien/)
Kiki is standing in a messy kitchen with a plunger in one hand and a stuffed crocodile in the other. She looks deflated, saying "Why did I come to the kitchen with a plunger and a croc- no you know what I don't care."Kiki is drawn in a more detailed, black and white style, looking pretty rough and tired. Text says "ADHD isn't funny and I'm an adult and I just want to get things done. I'm tired."
