Net income migration shift from Blue to Red was about $20 billion per year. We won’t see the real effects for two years at least.
Stories of California desperately trying to claw back any income earned in California, as well as verifying residency in another state.
The number of politicians who reflexively condemned Islamophobia was impressive. Great job, everyone

Update: a ballistic missile hit the 5th fleet headquarters in Bahrain. Before, the targeting tech was poor for the Iranians. Maybe their smuggling attempts have borne fruit.

This all sounds insane, but the Dutch have an already existing tax on assumed returns from various forms of asset ownership.

How did California end up with a proposition dismantling three strikes and downgrading felonies? It was because a billionaire’s kid got a prison sentence for a violent crime. Now Virginia is following in California’s footsteps on everything.
I’m glad you’re safe.

Sporadic reports of looting. One report that truckers who organized a convoy of water to the Asheville area stopped at a rest stop on I-40, and had their tires slashed. May be related to this earlier incident.

Do you have relief work recommendations beyond those I already posted?

A lot of discussion about how much brainwashing it takes to convince a woman with a young child, who lost her husband 3 years ago, to move to Minnesota for the express purpose of confronting ICE. I read a story about how the grandfather had to pick up the son because he has “nobody” now. Then I read about the wife. It’s sad for Ms. Good, but I blame the people who propogandized and rotted her brain to this point.
I would argue that inflation is worse / a bigger threat than unemployment right now. If anything, the Fed should probably be keeping rates steady or raising rates, as unpopular as it might be. Economic conditions are good in some states, but in certain large states, unemployment is high, AND inflation is high (mostly energy costs), which messes up the national numbers.
Lots of weird action in Wall Street. May realize some capital gains to pay for Roth conversions next year.
