We need to change the conversation about taxes in this country.
It shouldn't only be about how much you're paying and who's paying more or less than you.
It should be about what you're actually getting for your money.

Would I be OK with paying a bit more in taxes and not having to keep a job I hate because that's how my family gets health care?
Yes. I think I would.
Yes. I think I would.
R U ok with paying 8 to 12 pct more in taxes and possibly losing your standard deduction ?
R U ok with losing access to different curative medications and care because the government can't afford to pay for them, even after taxing all the billionaires 90 pct?

Sometimes I feel like @schumer.senate.gov is strategically allowing Team Trump to make things worse for all of us because he honestly believes this will lead to some sort of groundswell of support for the Dems.
As if nobody will also hold HIM accountable for his role in all of this.

The entire plot of The Lord of the Rings sort of hinges on one character being sort of a dumbass...
And I can't help but wonder how many times in human history that actual wars have been won or lost for similar reasons.

I'm not one who sees much point in making charitable donations to a college or university under the best of circumstances...
But it feels especially aggressive to be soliciting donations from people who are actively paying massive sums in tuition.

Mitch Robinson is amazing.
He just got caught out of position going for a steal, recovered to challenge the shot, got the rebound and passed out to start a break.

Anybody know who’s behind this “New York Car Insurance should be cheaper” ad campaign?
Hard not to assume there’s some billionaire that stands to make money from this.

Driving home in traffic. Car ahead of me stops in the middle of an intersection.
I stop at the line.
The light goes red.
Traffic clears, and the car ahead is able to move up, but I'm still stopped at the light.
My dash lights up with "THE CAR AHEAD HAS MOVED" message.
Who is this helping?

The year-end recaps start to hit and I realize a significant portion of the music I listen to would most charitably be described as "dad rock."
I won't apologize for this. Pink Floyd is awesome and Rumours is a classic.
But I could maybe stand to branch out a little.

There will always be awful people looking to take advantage of accommodations or benefits or other programs intended to help people who actually do need help.
I'd prefer that everyone who needs help gets it - even if that means some of those awful people slip through.

Balancing "no person with a disability should be denied accommodations" with "it's important to discourage non-disabled people from pretending to be disabled to take advantage of these accommodations" is really difficult and I don't have a great answer for what anyone should do about it.
