I agree with the concept that some rich folks do not pay their share. However, some exorbitant tax rates I've seen proposed on unrealized gains would force a major shareholder to sell stock to pay the tax, thus driving down the value of the shares for all investors in that stock.

As a former Indycar fan who quit watching after Penske sold 1/3 of the series and IMS to the Murdochs, this still pisses me off. Tshirt design for the DC street race that they released before fans objected. Tone deaf much????

In all seriousness, one thing that might be worth doing today: Tell your Reps and Senators to call Adm. Richard Correll, the Commander of U.S. Strategic Command, which controls the nation's nukes, and remind him of *his* unique responsibility to refuse an illegal order.

Eisenhower is spinning in his grave. I'm 68, born 12 years post WWII. With the exception of a handful of years in my life, the US has been engaged in armed conflict. We failed to learn anything from Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan.

Whatever happens, this is a deeply shameful episode in American history that will leave a permanent stain on the country. Repeatedly vowing to commit war crimes against millions of innocent civilians is beyond the pale.

Last Saturday two were crossing Taft south of 30, one flew up in front of me and the other was almost collected in the grill of an SUV behind me. We see them occasionally in our neighborhood in St. John.

Obama had to deal with W's recession. Reducing performance to a single stat that has a varying basis (in this case, number of years in office.) is dangerous. Some sources show the mean of annual %s rather than the 4 or 8 year CPI adjusted change to the 1/4 or 1/8 power.

Thanks for the correction! I now realize that the OP's graph is adjusted for inflation unlike the STL Fed data. Real GDP growth under Biden adjusted for CPI is about 2.7%.

After the EPA found that ethylene oxide is 30 times more carcinogenic than previously thought, it updated regulations to protect the people who are most exposed to it. Now, the agency’s ability to do that for many air pollutants is under threat.

Trump’s EPA Could Limit Its Own Ability to Use New Science to Strengthen Air Pollution Rules
In government records that have flown under the radar, the EPA is questioning its legal authority to revise pollution rules more than once when new science shows unacceptable health risks.

This is not the work of a mentally competent man. #25thAmendmentNow Trump text to Norwegian Prime Minister
Dear Jonas: Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America. Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a ‘right of ownership’ anyway? There are no written documents, it’s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also. I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States. The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you! President DJT
