You can add to that list that middle-class taxes are UP! I did my taxes two weeks ago and like most of the middle class, the financial equivalent of being anally raped. Almost all of my deductions, other than mortgage interest, are state and local taxes - local and state income taxes, local property and school taxes. Nothing extraordinary in that, except that my local wage tax alone was just under $9,000 of the $10,000 limit so almost none of the rest is deductible. I ended up having to pay a boatload that I would NOT have had to pay but for the misnamed Trump tax "cut." Fuck you, Trump!
Oh and I didn't see one red cent of the tax savings my Employer got which he claimed would "trickle down" to employees. Instead (as every economist said they would) my Company used that money to engage in a massive stock buyback to keep stock prices high and paid large dividends to shareholders and big bonuses to executives. In the meantime, I got my usual 2% pay increase and a bonus that was even less than last year, despite being graded as "exceeds expectations" on my work performance.
While on the one hand, all of the middle-class idiots who voted for this jerkwad are now getting their just desserts, I DIDN'T vote for this orange lying fuckwad and am being forced to pay the price for their stupidity. So, all to all the Trump voters: Fuck you, too!
After all the spin that is coming this week over that Mueller report you can almost guarantee that you hell will last another five years. He will get re-elected. He will keep anally raping all of you since there is NOTHING that anyone will do about it. So much for your blessed Constition which my whole life gave me hope that this situation in America would never come to pass. Don't drop the soap. I feel for all of you. I can't even watch the news I am so angry but like you I am helpless to make things better and as an empathic person that is killing me.
I forever stand vigilant to protect this planet from the myriad of forces that are always against us. Be it the octopus, zombies, aliens or the robots my team of human agents, and our feline allies, circle the globe in a never ending struggle for human freedom.
I learn all I can on every subject that interests me. I especially enjoy ancient history because in the past there are valuable lessons to be found. Also, if I ever get my time machine to work properly, it would be good to know a bit about possible destinations and what to expect when I get there.
I greatly appreciate beautiful design. Be it manufactured or found naturally I am fascinated by the process of invention. I am attracted to the unique, the strange, the haunted. I like to share what I find on this blog.
And not let us forget the 'Cephalopod Menace' who, if allowed to, would wrap their tentacles around all that is good and pure in this life and crush it until it remained no more. They are creatures of pure spite. Hate is all they know. Death is all they do. They are our most ruthless and determined enemy.
So we fight. Selena has the celebrity contacts, the cat is ruthless and without pity, Roosevelt's ghost has the experience and I do the wetwork.
Fighting for the future of the planet doesn't have to be a chore, however. We can take the time to appreciate all that is cool in this world even as we cut the octopus into bite sized chunks.
This is the reason there has always been and must forever be, a Cave of Cool. Be sure to wipe your feet before you enter.
