Just received an email from a client's payroll provider touting changes in year end tax prep due to 'OBBB'
Forever we will need to address a major tax change in the language of an inarticulate bozo. If we're going to go this route why not call it the 'SOTLGB' Shit On The Little Guy Bill.

This week, I’m hosting The Daily Show Tuesday through Thursday.
It’s my first time hosting anything on TV. Ever.
I’ve spent years writing behind the scenes, learning from truly great and talented people. Now, for three nights, I get to sit at the desk and do it myself.

I've been watching Bernie's rallys on Twitter. He and AOC are energized!
At a stop in Wisconsin the crowd spontaneously recited the Gettysburg Address when Bernie quoted it. Got teary and recited along.
These two have the determination, I wish their fellow congresspeople would join them.
