Why I vote for tax cuts even if it increases the federal deficit - change my mind

Made up numbers for the sake of argument.

Say my current tax burden is 30% of pre-tax income. My spending is another 25%. That makes my savings rate 45%. I am saving nearly twice as much as I am spending.

Now cut taxes. Even if a tax cut increases inflation 1:1, my savings (inflated assets) will nominally increase more in absolute dollars than my spending (inflated assets) will. Therefore I come out ahead.

The iconic "faces" of 24

After youve watched enough seasons you realize all the main characters smush there faces in characteristic ways all the time, just they way they all have funny catchphrases. I thought I'd compile them here - was tough to get them exactly right but this is the general idea , what do you think? Tony's is my favorite LOL

Burroughs Wellcome headquarters (Paul Rudolph, 1969-1972)

The Burroughs Wellcome Headquarters (demolished 2021) was a landmark brutalist and late modernist structure located in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina.

Conceived as a structure that could continue growing. Its laboratories, offices and support areas could each be extended independently, with flattened hexagonal end walls indicating where new sections would attach.

Let my kefir go for 3 days and it tastes like blue cheese

Ive been letting my kefir go for 2 days. I always just drink it straight, room temp. I’m not fussy with it and it’s not fussy with me. 1 day is creamy, 2 days has more tart and fizz. I let it go 3 or 4 days and it was still good, had a subtle note of blue cheese almost which I quite enjoyed.

just a word of encouragement for yall it’s a living thing. you don’t need a recipe. just feed it when you can and try different things and enjoy the diversity of different ways it can come out

I ranked Chicago’s worst kitchens using 8 years of city health inspection data

compiled records from July 2018 through 2026.
I put together a ranking of Chicago restaurants based on their total critical health violations.
A few quick notes on the data:
Priority Violations: This strictly counts CDPH’s highest-risk citations (gross food storage temps, pests, cross-contamination, lack of hot water, etc.).

Timeframes: Slide 1 shows total violations over the last 8 years. Slide 2 isolates the past 12 months.

Shared Business Licenses: Multi-location entities using a single master license in city records (like United Club at O'Hare) show aggregated totals across all their outposts.

Inspection Frequency: Older and higher-volume establishments get audited far more often, so raw totals naturally lean toward longer-standing spots.
