I think I found the perfect laundry room.

In a stunning Maine dream house. Walk to the beach.

I had to look up what that tube is in the corner. It's a pneumatic elevator, and I want one ASAP. Kicks laundry chute butt! #SundayNightZillow Image
At first I was, like, is that a tardis? A bathroom in the laundry room? A shower? A Star Trek vaporizer? My wife thought it might be a clothes steamer. Then I figured it out. No more trekking up and down stairs with laundry.
This is a classy dream house really, if you happen to have $2.25M lying around.

8BR, 5BA, 6K sf, awesome kitchen, "Stroll home from dinner at the York Harbor Inn or Stage Neck Inn" (4.6 & 4.7 stars respectively on Yelp).

And you get 1.22 acres, trees, garage #SundayNightZillow ImageImageImageImage
Your tardis-looking elevator also has stops in the office and the exercise room. Sweet! I'd be cracking lame Wonka jokes all the time if I lived here. #SundayNightZillow ImageImage
I assume whoever lives here has a Washington, D.C. connection. Because otherwise this is a weird thing to have in your perfect Maine mansion. #SundayNightZillow Image
I have since learned that home pneumatic elevators are a thing and typically cost $30K to $50K. Seems reasonable especially for seniors, etc. elevators.com/residential-el…
Fun, informative video shows the installation process for one of these home pneumatic vacuum elevators. They say they patented theirs?
Brilliant.
Regretfully this at first glance perfect house appears to *lack A/C.* That is definitely a first in my experience: a $2.25M house with an elevator but no air conditioning. Is this a Maine thing?

Two years ago, Congress considered banning 18-20 year-olds from buying AR-15s and other semi-automatic rifles after the Uvalde massacre, and some Republicans were briefly open to doing so but ultimately blocked including a ban in the bipartisan gun bill signed by Biden.
Then-Florida Governor Rick Scott signed a law raising the age to buy guns in his state to 21 after the Parkland massacre, but then opposed doing the same for the nation as a US Senator. He told reporters it was easier to do it at the state level.
McConnell actually enacted a law one day to raise the age to buy cigarettes to 21. But he didn't want to talk two years ago about a proposal to raise the age for buying rifles.

Soaring cost estimates for extending Trump tax cuts set up a crucial 2025 fight:
*CBO puts tab at $4.6 Trillion over next decade
*Fight comes with US debt far higher than 2017, interest costs ballooning & Social Security cliff looming...

*Trump wants more tax cuts, along with massive new tariffs — aka a tax on imports — that would raise consumer prices but offset at least some of the cost.
*Biden wants to extend breaks <$400K a year paired with higher taxes on corporations and the wealthy.
If past is prologue, Congress will again play Santa Claus. With a few exceptions, Congress has repeatedly increased spending and cut taxes since 2001.

One of the scarier things I've seen on Zillow. Let's hope this is a prop and not an actual electric chair. #FridayNightZillow Image

Ozempic can be produced for less than $5 a month, a new study found, but Danish company Novo Nordisk charges Americans $968.52. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Bernie Sanders insisting the company charge Americans no more than it charges Canadians for the same drug.
Ozempic pricing page. Many people get discounts on this price, or have insurance companies (ie premiums) or taxpayers pay the bill. novopricing.com/ozempic.html

McConnell helped nix:
Roe
Campaign finance reform
Individual mandate
Medicare dental & vision
Dream Act
$35 insulin cap
Minimum wage hike
Flag burning amendment
Making Election Day a holiday
Public option
SCOTUS filibuster
Pro Act
1/6 Commission
Oil export ban
Cap&trade
Tax hikes
Vast majority of laws since 2007 have had either the acquiescence of McConnell or his outright support, with notable exceptions, like the Affordable Care Act, the Inflation Reduction Act, Obama stimulus, Biden Covid relief, Dodd-Frank, Lilly Ledbetter, USA Freedom Act, Paygo.
One way to look at McConnell is that he has often had the role of editor of Congress. Empowered by the filibuster and his conference, he had a key veto point in Washington; spending, taxing and legislating had to pass through his filter.
