You identified why the “rich” prefer sales taxes to income taxes. They only get taxed on what they spend, so if they hoard their wealth (or use loopholes) they pay no taxes. Plus political leadership is eliminating all the estate taxes so they can pass along that hoarded wealth to their heirs tax free. It creates an…

Check out the linked misleading chart of federal expenditures. They count social security as income and expenditures, even though it is a totally separate self-funded account. But they don’t count tax expenditures as expenses (where they pay you $1,000 for buying solar panels or hiring a veteran). Hidden at the bottom…

I’ll pay attention when one gets to $75. And when light controls get to $10.

128 GB SD cards on eBay for $10.

Ha ha, someone other than an Apple zombie buys a phone without a SD slot. Maybe they buy cars with no way to change tires either.

More free money!!! Deficit to soar, which is GREAT for stocks! When the music stops, just sell quickly. If you can’t control the game, learn the rules so you don’t get stuck holding the bag.

And this is what is wrong with voters. Unable to grasp a detailed plan, and then thinking the best way forward is ask leaders to be just as dumb.

There were 20 incremental versions in the public.

No more physical gifts. eCards it is.

Watch out blue apron and company. Here comes your business model done right!

Now we got disposal $350 speakers. Pay up suckers.

Crooks in this adminstration are dismantling the consumer protection. But, hey, that is what America seems to want. Crooked, cheating, sexual predators, liars, cheats, short-sighted, bigotted, ignorant, selfish, self-righteous, and arrogant. Marketing fear/hate/whininess works!

Nothing beats a vase of peonies. And they last longer when cut and brought inside than if they get a few days of heat outside. A whole house of fragrance for weeks if you cut them just as they begin to open fully.

We need a maker for the masses, like X-10 was. White 100W bulbs are down to $2 each, add a $3 controller and charge us $5 each. Hunb maybe $20.

So is there anything on the market that I should look at to replace simple on/off/dim X-10 modules. X-10 has worked great for me for 10 years since I bought the phase joiner dryer-plug thingy. But X-10 is not yet directly accessible from echo, I think. X-10 modules were 3-6 dollars, very reasonable and lots of…

We love our Echos. Daily briefing (NPR Now, weather) and Pandora in the bathroom. OK I admit it, sometimes a joke in the morning to get going.
