Every time I see this meme cross my feed I'm struck by how perfect the lighting is This is one of those technologies I think really is mostly lost, after the move to digital photography we forgot how to light scenes so they look good
buddy, I was writing 10 page papers without having read the book.
MAGA Republicans are more pro-Taiwan than any group polled: 83% percent believe it is important for the U.S. to defend Taiwan against Chinese aggression. If China took military action against Taiwan: *75% would support deploying U.S. military assets; *72% would support establishing a no-fly zone that could include “shooting down Chinese warplanes”; *63% would support committing U.S. ground forces to defend Taiwan *84 percent would support the United States officially recognizing Taiwan as an independent country.

Stanton Glantz is still recommending that it is better for people to keep smoking instead of switching to more harmful e-cigarettes! I don't have access to the full article, but the preview makes it clear. @Clive_Bates @BradRodu @cdoug @mbsiegel nature.com/articles/s4156…
Dog’s reaction when he realizes his sister was adopted into the same home.
As other economists have shown, Gabriel Zucman's tax and inequality data is wildly misleading. He turns seemingly every methodological dial to claim that inequality has soared and high-earner taxes have collapsed. In his own data, virtually the ENTIRE drop in high-income taxes come from Zucman's highly unorthodox assumptions about the incidence of the corporate tax - which he claims cost the top 1% of earners 29% (!) of their income in 1951, and yet now costs them 6%. And this questionable data accounts for his ENTIRE claimed "drop" in higher-earner taxes. You see - on the income tax side - Zucman's own data shows that the average individual income tax paid by the rich has RISEN - not fallen - since the 1950s. See gabriel-zucman.eu/usdina/ then click on "Table 2: Distributional series," and navigate to tab TG2b, column T for income taxes (and column U for corporate taxes) As much as Zucman builds up 1950s income tax rates, almost no one actually paid 91% tax rates - or even touched a tax bracket over 50%. And that's why actual income tax revenues - including income tax rates paid by the rich - were *lower* in the 1950s than today. Zucman's rhetoric is peddling a "tax the rich" utopia of the 1940s-1960s that his own data shows did not exist.
New York taxes people at nearly DOUBLE the rate of most states, and California isn’t far behind. Yet their streets are overrun, homelessness is exploding, and basic services keep failing. Blue state politicians don’t have a revenue problem. They have a spending addiction!
Average houston summer day: 100 degrees and humid enough to swim through the air Does this actually work?
I don't understand why RFK Jr isn't being included.
