If you are happy with your cable/high speed internet provider, and they have C-SPAN, let me know. (Prices seem a lot higher than last time I cross-shopped)
“Just the taxes and fees* on my cable bill are now more than $100 a month.
I don’t even have HBO, I barely watch TV. I just need the news networks for work. And you can’t get C-SPAN without cable.
This is the fees section. I couldn’t explain half of these to you, but they are making some people very rich. I asked if I could nix all the sports channels so I don’t have to pay this dumb “surcharge.” Nope. $24 a month for access to free TV channels I can get with an antenna? Image

Got my booster last night. Woke up feeling feverish. Took two Tylenol. Now feeling great. *Get your shots*
💉💉💉
Get vaccinated to protect yourselves and your loved ones. We are needlessly losing *hundreds of thousands of people* to horrible, lonely drowning deaths to misinformation, conspiracy crap and innumeracy.
My pharmacist said she’s already lost three friends to COVID and doesn’t understand why people won’t take the shots. They work.

My current retirement plan in my head involves buying this place.
You can still go to a Broadway musical if you want but you are along a river. I’d just want to shore up the flood protection, add solar, etc.

Location on busy road will improve as cars and trucks go electric. (Quieter, less point-source poison)
This place a few months ago listed for $1.495M, so I want to know what’s up. Did something show up in an inspection or something?

YES. Pneumatic elevator! If your megamansion doesn't have one what are you even doing? I saw this and smiled ear to ear. And really, isn't that what we all need more of right now? #SaturdayNightZIllow ImageImageImage
Romance. If I'm spending $14.5M, I want a tower 800 feet in the sky overlooking the ocean. #SaturdayNightZIllow Image

Feeling kind of bummed. So just *might* fire up #SaturdayNightZillow
How do we feel about some Puerto Rico? I’ve never looked at its real estate, until today. And, well, it’s fabulous.
Ok. #SaturdayNightZillow will start at 8:30

Reminder that the federal budget mostly on autopilot is on track to spend ~$60T with ~$45T revenue over next decade. BBB changes the trajectory of that spending and taxing by a few percent.
BBB is a lot smaller than Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, the Defense Department, etc. is it big? Yes. ARP and CARES were similar in size but on a *much* more compressed timeline. This is long-term bill.
Remember fiscal cliff deal? The deficit impact of that Obama-Biden-McConnell law extending most of the Bush tax cuts *but not Obama’s* is about $500B a year *today.*
