#ICYMI: ProPublica identified 17 people who each shielded at least $1 billion in capital gains from the so-called Net Investment Income Tax. Together, this small group, by collectively exempting more than $35 billion, saved about $1.3 billion in taxes.

@iwriteok.bsky.social listening to your latest episode and it occurs to me: is there a case against Purdue Pharma to undermine the trust/defame medicine and consequently increase the number of anti-vaxer... I know a bit of a straw, but again.. Great pod it helped me stay sane

I know it is a quasi spent question, but. What do you think is the common thread between Trump reelection and the rise of the right in Europe? Personally I think that is mostly a loss of the left due to its inability to understand that people are suffering (still privileged) and simply address it.
