Well worth the watch. I still think that nobody should pay any tax on the "Middle Class" income, say first $200K. Anything about $10M should be taxed heavily, and Billionaires? Not until we pay off the national debt.

I just made a rather excellent and buttery BBQ Pork Shoulder for lunch. As I was enjoying it, I thought with the utter asshattery going on in DC, how long will it be before the DOGE cuts will make having Pork of any kind a death defying stunt like it was when I was a child?

FF is a part of Debian, so I will end up with it until I purge it. Since Debian is admittedly slow in adopting new software in Stable, it will linger before I can look deeply into it. I installed Waterfox and it has the newer FF engine under it. So yet another browser on the machine.
