He's going to cost me at least $2600year from tariffs. That's a ski trip with my club. An analysis by the Tax Policy Center, a nonpartisan research group, shows that the top 1 percent would save more than $70,000, about 3 percent of after-tax income, and the median household would get only about $1,000, about 1 percent of after-tax income. (from trumps 1st term tax cuts - to be continued) While the poor get few of the rewards from those tax cuts, they bear more of the burden from tariffs, which are a tax on imported goods. The poor spend a larger share of their income than the rich do on things they want or need, including on imported goods, rather than saving or investing it, so tariffs operate as a sharply regressive tax. It is a mistake to imagine that the imports subject to tariffs are luxury goods like fine wines and sports cars; the tariffs threatened so far would fall instead on everyday household goods made in China, Canada and Mexico, along with steel and aluminum, which are used in a vast array of things Americans buy. It’s not yet clear what the final level of tariffs will be, but the highest levels Mr. Trump proposed during the campaign — a 20 percent across-the-board tariff, combined with a 60 percent tariff on China — would cost a typical American household in the middle of the income distribution more than $2,600 a year.

Shows are still top shelf. Smart, educated, well spoken reporters doing great interviews and stories. Listeners, including me, have and will continue to step up. I never needed Biden to locate me. Only to consider and sympathize with my opinions which he and his administration consistently did. Npr isn’t concerned with your listening preferences: The 2023 NPR audience profile shows that NPR listeners are influential, cultured, engaged, and conscientious. They are also diverse in terms of gender, but the news audience is overwhelmingly white and progressive. Influential 71% more likely to work in top management 32% more likely to be a CEO 201% more likely to have something they wrote published Cultured 83% more likely to have attended an art gallery or show in the past year 90% more likely to have visited a museum in the past month 61% more likely to read books 2+ times a week

It took 1 year to go from roughly 180k to over a million between 1940 and 1941. By 1942 the number was 3 million., mostly because of the draft. The same results could have been obtained between 1939 and 1940. Likely saving millions of lives. There just wasn’t the will from people like you. https://www.nationalww2museum.org/students-teachers/student-resources/research-starters/research-starters-us-military-numbers
