Main Street getting absolutely skullfucked. First inflation. Then raising rates. Whoops, home prices won’t come down. Now tariffs. Second free pass in 5 years for companies to raise prices. But also open season on pumping assets (you don’t own them). Sorry. Your turn next time.

i wake up. something’s wrong with the clock on the wall. the numbers are jumbled. my hands aren’t right. i tell my wife. she responds: “that’s not just an observation—it’s a powerful insight.” i scream.
The reconciliation bill cost way more than just a clean TCJA extension.
It would have cost 3.8 trillion to just extend all expiring tax provisions But instead Rs wrote something that cost 4.7 trillion (but turned some of it off early to pretend it only costs 3.4 trillion) And the 2nd decade impact is larger because some of the savers are one-time
I love NPR. I listen to Colorado Public Radio every single day That being said - it deserves so much of the criticism it receives. The amount of reporting on identity politics is tiresome, repetitive, and boring
Can someone explain to me why they hate NPR so much?
Thank you for your attention to this matter (I hate you)
huge thank you to the Tax Retreat team for their phenomenal execution this weekend

my biggest regret in life is not spending the last three years building an audience to pay my mortgage with X payouts from vaccine conspiracies
Imagine being 32 with a newborn and finding out your new home with a 6.75% mortgage is about to get a fat property tax increase when your neighbor isn’t home half the year because they winter in Florida. Then you realize that you’re never retiring, social security won’t exist…
36% of all federal spending is on Medicare/Social Security, only 18% of the US population is 65+, and yet we still have folks arguing seniors should be exempt from all property taxes
re: tariff inflation discourse, it's worth mentioning again that if tariffs *don't* raise prices, then there's no way they "incentivize" domestic production The mechanism by which they're supposed to re-shore industry is by increasing prices for imported goods and reducing trade
