A US senator proposed a wealth cap of $50 million. Some economists said it would either result in little help for the poor, or would hurt the economy further.
This was in *1934*. Can you imagine how much money 50 mill was then, and that there were people who had that much during the *Depression*?

It's #caturday here in #WarRavagedPortland, where the sunspot is on that rug Chaz likes.

At the vet with Chaz who has been vomiting often over the last few days. Most plausible explanation is thyroid issues that can be treated with meds.

I want to thank @theecoomes.bsky.social,Janet & Swan Dive for the great all-ages Quasi show today. It was inspiring to see teens digging the band, and a 430pm start time was just what my middle-aged ass needed, since I have to work Sunday mornings.
I wish more bands w/members my age would do this.

Whoever invented attics has a lot to answer for. It's easy to shove empty boxes that you "might need one day" up there, plus boxes of decades old paperwork. Once it goes up, it seldom comes down. Especially when you get elderly enough that climbing stairs is risky and only your adult kids can do it.
