The most annoying part of this is that even if he quits wasting our oxygen, it's "too close to the election" for the Senate to do their jobs and confirm the replacement.

That's always been my concern with the concept of a wealth tax. The example I always think of is the person who starts a successful private company. This theoretical person could be doing everything right: paying a fair wage to all employees, taking the same scale of compensation for themselves, and reinvesting company profits back into the company itself. Over the years, this company is very successful. Since it's a private company, the guy who started it is now worth millions of dollars. How is he supposed to pay this wealth tax? He's going to have to increase his own wage to compensate for the tax.

Manufacturers of what? Selling and replacing car parts is a much different proposition than trying to replace semiconductors inside an earbud.
I chuckled at the thought that there's just this one county in Montana where people haven't figured out that staring at the sun is bad.
What? Are you trying to say that corporations aren't people, and that treating them as such is fucking stupid?
To this day, hearing the words "badger", "mushroom", and "snake" will often be enough for me to get that song stuck in my head.
