I reread Lonesome Dove last summer and it still brings me joy to think of.

He’s going to announce checks to everyone with “all the money the tariffs will bring in.” He may never send them out, but he’ll dangle it to appease his supporters.

Maybe there really is a brain worm that’s infected politicians and made them crazy (like the show Brain Dead)

My department demanded RTO for staff within 50 miles of main office. 3 managers lived within that range had to come in while 7 who lived elsewhere worked from home—or at their mountain vacation home as was the case with one manager. My territory was CO and NY but I had to sit in an office in MI.

Recommendations, right? They can’t actually make the cuts, right?
