You are absolutely wrong. The US doesn’t index capital gains. You could buy $70k in stock, sell 10 years later at $80k and owe tax on the $10k but the real value of the $80k is more like 60k because of inflation. Cuban’s example is reasonable too. And most dont get taxed on gains from their home.

FWIW Trump can't rename geographical features. Only the U.S. Board on Geographic Names can do that; Trump can't go over their head. What the executive order does is require all federal government agencies and employees to use an inaccurate place names. That, unfortunately, is a power he does have.

Writing headlines is hard. You have to compress an article into a phrase or two. And you have to fit an exact and usually inconvenient line space. Two images below: What the NYT is running on line. (h/t @jaywillis.net for calling this one out.) And what would fit exactly the same space, by me.
Two headlines:

Would exactly fit the same space. (By me)

Another of the administration’s favorite tricks, intimidating journalists’ sources, stops newsgathering before it starts. But when a story slips through the cracks, bullying those who share it offers a censorship backup plan.

When Hitler fell, the purging of that mindset wasn’t de-Hitlerification, it was de-Nazification. When Saddam fell, it wasn’t de-Saddamification, it was de-Baathification. When Trump falls, it will be de-MAGAfication, not de-Trumpification. The entire movement’s hatred and corruption must be purged.

NOMINEE GAVE QUIET ADVICE ON RECOUNT
By Abby Goodnough
July 21, 2005
MIAMI, July 20 - John G. Roberts advised Gov. Jeb Bush during Florida's presidential recount in 2000, even traveling to Tallahassee from Washington to help him navigate those frenzied 36 days.

But neither Governor Bush nor other Republicans involved in the recount would say on Wednesday just what advice Judge Roberts, then a lawyer at Hogan & Hartson in Washington, shared.
