Whoever could have foreseen that putting a real estate investor into the presidency would cause home prices to spin wildly out of control?

About 3 years ago I slapped a Woke Face window prism up in one if the tiny windows in my soils lab. This afternoon, the tilt and rotation of the earth allowed the suns light to hit that static prism in just the right way.

As an engineer, construction crews typically ignore all of these as often as they can get away with it.

I’m reminded of being on a United flight a few years back. The seats had screens installed in the backs of the head rests. They blared advertising non stop and were impossible to power off. A few of us took to cramming the safety manuals over the screens just to give our eyes a break.

Additional reminder here, air campaigns only serve to embolden the people being bombed, and are almost never successful at deterring a situation. Trump will likely have to send US soldiers into Iran because of this dumb shit.

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.

FYI: Blanche rescinded the ORDER establishing the slush fund, not the underlying “settlement.” The settlement says any changes must be agreed to by ALL parties, not just Todd. This “rescission” isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on.

That’s about right for a billable rate for a field tech/admin/accontant. Toss in an engineer with a rate between $140/hr - $170/hr. Plus the purchases and redesigns need QC and approval which means someone senior gets a few hours. So toss another higher up in there at a rate closer to $225/hr.
