Let me tell you how it will be
There's one for you, nineteen for me
Cause I'm the taxman, yeah, I'm the taxman

Should five per cent appear too small
Be thankful I don't take it all
Cause I'm the taxman, yeah I'm the taxman
If you drive a car, I'll tax the street
If you try to sit, I'll tax your seat
If you get too cold I'll tax the heat
If you take a walk, I'll tax your feet

Cause I'm the taxman, yeah I'm the taxman
Don't ask me what I want it for (Aahh Mr. Wilson)
If you don't want to pay some more (Aahh Mr. Heath)
Cause I'm the taxman, yeah, I'm the taxman
Now my advice for those who die
Declare the pennies on your eyes
Cause I'm the taxman, yeah, I'm the taxman

And you're working for no one but me

Home is where I want to be
Pick me up and turn me around
I feel numb, born with a weak heart
I guess I must be having fun
The less we say about it the better
Make it up as we go along
Feet on the ground, head in the sky
It's okay, I know nothing's wrong, nothing
Oh! I got plenty of time
Oh! You got light in your eyes
And you're standing here beside me
I love the passing of time
Never for money, always for love
Cover up and say goodnight, say goodnight

Some kind of restrictions on pregnant women obtaining visas to visit the US is an awfully blunt tool, and lots of innocent folks will be unfairly and unnecessarily inconvenienced by such regulations.
BUT birth tourism is a legitimate problem (in my estimation), is based on a misreading and misapplication of the Constitution, and Congress should fix it.
If Congress won’t fix it, pressure should be applied to Congress by the Executive Branch and by the voters, and so I see this as a step in a process. Defensible as a step in a strategy, if not defensible as a long term policy in itself.

“Drug costs are out of control” is mostly not true.

Today I picked up a months worth of all of my prescriptions. 5 in all. Cost me a total of $10 at @Walmart with fairly typical health insurance. All generics; typical meds for a middle-aged man.
Two of them required prior authorization, which was simply a call from my doctor to the health insurance company. No big deal.
There’s a lot wrong with how we pay for healthcare, but focusing on drug prices is a distraction, and I think a purposeful deflection by the other parts of the healthcare industry.

I see #WhitePrivilege is trending after @piersmorgan dared to suggest on @GMB that racism isn’t the reason Meghan and Harry are moving to Canada.

I wrote a piece for @TheCriticMag last month on why #WhitePrivilege is a myth thecritic.co.uk/issues/decembe…
It's simply false to claim that white Britons are the most privileged ethnic group in England.

A 2015 report by the Institute for Fiscal Studies found that white British pupils in the lowest socio-economic quintile are 10 per cent less likely to participate in higher education
than any other ethnic group in that quintile. Turns out, all ethnic minority groups in England are now, on average, more likely to go to university than their White British peers.

The BMG poll suggests that his economic agenda and his stance on national security issues were both particularly unpopular.

It found that 46% of voters think Labour should ditch its current agenda on tax & change course, while 27% support Corbyn’s policy independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…
“Forty-five per cent of voters also want Labour’s current positions on public spending and nationalisation to be dumped, while in both cases 28 per cent do not.”
“The gap is even wider on security issues, with 48 per cent saying that the new leader should break with Mr Corbyn’s approach to defence. Just 21 per cent support the current policy.”

72 Virgins - a novel by Boris Johnson
@VirginsJohnson
Life had been tough for Dean since that dreadful night in Wednesbury. The magistrates had grasped pretty clearly what had happened, and in some ways they were even sympathetic. But he was still convicted, in a juvenile court, of arson.
Price launched an action with more than twenty separate complaints, including destruction of intellectual property. He claimed that he had produced a new kind of hard cheese, dense, nutty and as fissile as Parmesan.
It was going to be unmistakable, he said, and he had already ordered the British racing green wax in which it was to be coated. He painted a picture of a revolution in taste, and not just in Britain. His green spheres would pop up in delicatessens across the planet.

14 YEARS AN ORPHAN

I suffered all those years and I thought that my life would end badly. Then I met my biological father and my life as an accidental orphan was over. One year later, I am a bundle of joy and my pains are over. I just got this account to tell my story. Thread.
My name is Emmanuella Michael. I am 15 years old. I was born out of wedlock. My grandfather did not let my father marry my mum even though they were in love. The two families had issues because of that. I had to grow up with my mum's parents cos my dad did not have access to me.
Mummy told me that my dad loved me. I asked why I could not see him. She promised me every year that my daddy would visit on my birthday. So I used to prepare noodles and wait to feed my dad. But he didn't come and every year I would cry.
