I think it’s all vibes until any of the economic impacts really show up in earnings.

Feels like a lot of companies are taking a wait and see approach.
A bit maddening for sure.

Mariners get a superstar catcher with baby face and a dorky nickname, you love to see it

By 2100 the 1040 will be 50 pages long. Americans will have access to over 200 tax advantaged savings accounts. There will be an unintentional tax cliff that taxes 100% of your income if your AGI is exactly 73,854.

Member when the 1040 was going to be one page? Lmao.

I think there is some innate animosity between the craziest of the wingnuts and local authorities (cops/firefighters/etc). Not to say they aren't very Republican, but they make the connection that a bunch of skinhead types aren't good for the tourism dependent economy. Hopefully we'll know more soon

Giving Trump the free money canon for small business tyrants (PPP, ERC, etc) was arguably necessary but also a big own goal in retrospect.

Washington iirc. I don’t think there has been a GOP governor since the 80s.

Can Washington please just have an income tax already? β€œWe’re taxing some services now, it starts in a few months, have fun figuring it out???”

Also the damn Boeing carveouts are still there. What are we doing.

There is a local pizza chain called "Pizza Pipeline" that for some reason I assumed was nationwide. Idk why? Maybe the idea of pipelines of pizza ingredients fascinated me?

Wasn't until I left high school and traveled the country a bit that I noticed the lack of Pizza Pipelines outside my hometown

There are bigger downsides to the W&M tax bill, but I am begging America to think of a way to do policy other than β€œoops all tax advantaged savings accounts” ad Infinitum

I have been waffling on this. I think there is some chance Trump is able to cajole deficit hawks. Although if his approval rating keeps tanking that might change.
Would be v funny if TCJA expires on top of the tariffs, however.

It’s the equivalent of the Chinese cities with 10 million people that almost no one in North America thinks of.

World class universities in podunk nowhere inventing better ways to grow local crops or manufacture a doohickey.

And they do cool shit. See the story of the Giant Palouse Earthworm.

Apparently they got an IRS audit a few years before I started working there and got a relatively minor assessment.... so I guess it worked?

At an old firm we had a client where they would drop off β€œthe xyz client box” every year. Big box full of receipts, always had a weird musty smell, and some poor staff got to decide if the receipt was for their 1120-S, 990, or 1040.
