#3 Had a pleasant mid-1800s Asian dream last night ... a few tables over in the outdoor sandy beach restaurant in the Philippines the stone wheel table was prepared for a dish of live monkey brains. Instead of Asians with long chopsticks placed in a circle around the stone there was a ring of ravens waiting. The two largest would be known to Odin.
I told the wife this is good. With Covid we can not get entertainment I just hope the monkey chatters properly as its brains are sampled... and this beach setting does make clean up simple as the crabs will make quick work of it... and note Odin approves!!!

Then the monkey was led out... one well known to us from San Fran and we let out a cheer....

It was a good dream!

#5 A re-vamping of this absurd tax code might be a good start.

#6 Clem—- congress has been talking this up for decades. Many decades. They can issue special breaks but they are unable or unwilling To bring forth any meaningful reform.

#7 I think too many special interests, Alaska. Even a flat tax could never take told here. Even former Eastern Bloc countries went to a flat tax at the beginning.

What I don't want to see is reform in a bad way, like a VAT.
