“The behavior was pure misogynistic abuse, and it’s a growing movement in American culture right now.” www.glamour.com/story/the-mi...

The Misogynistic Abuse Directed at Rory McIlroy’s Wife at the Ryder Cup Is Deeper Than Golf

It shows a cultural shift, one in which men feel emboldened to attack women in public without shame or consequence.

The idea that one guy on a whim can arbitrarily increase prices on whatever he wants is, I have to say, really stupid. If only we had some sort of legislative body with the power to stop him!

https://www.levernews.com/content/files/2025/01/1985RobertsMemo-Budget.pdf

THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
August 15, 1985
MEMORANDUM FOR FRED F. FIELDING
FROM: JOHN G. ROBERTS,
SUBJECT: ImEoundment Authority
David Chew asked our office for general information on the
President's impoundment authority. He originally asked Joe Wright
for such information and was provided the packet at Tab A, but
thought a clearer exposition was necessary. I talked with Chew to
obtain some sense of what he was interested in, and he indicated
that the issue of impoundment was raised in general discussions of
how to achieve budget goals.
The attached memorandum simply outlines the requirements of the
Impoundment Control Act of 1974, 2 u.s.c. §§ 681-688, touches upon
the unresolved Chadha issue presented by that Act, and attempts to
dampen any hopes that inherent constitutional impoundment authority
may be invoked to achieve budget goals. As noted in the memo-
randum, the question of whether the President has such authority is
not free from doubt, but I think it clear that he has none in
normal situations, and we should discourage Chew and others from
considering impoundment as a viable budget planning option. Our
institutional vigilance with respect to the constitutional prerog-
atives of the presidency requires appropriate deference to the
constitutional prerogatives of the other branches, and no area
seems more clearly the province of Congress than the power of the
purse.
