Box 13?   If the ballot box stories didn't happen, LBJ might be a very minor footnote in our Texas history books (or at the very least, he ends up a Senator who dies in office in the early 70s).

Wow, I can't believe I hadn't read about this. 

Lulz at the "found" ballots being 200 to 2 in favor of LBJ and the alphabetical order and same handwriting stuff. What a hack job of a crime they got away with.

Doesn't mean anything, just an observation that there are two big jumps surrounded by smaller ones throughout. I missed the 12-22% jump the first time I read it, but my eye automatically went to the 24-32% jump and just observed it was bigger than the others.

Marginal tax rates were fixed at those levels in 2017.

I'm sure, and again, I'm all for it, just noticing that there isn't a pattern that I didn't know about before seeing that, and then assuming it's because there is good data/reasoning behind (e.g. a large % of folks land in those buckets, some data models and formulas suggest this is the way to optimize income, etc.).

OK, I thought you might have been implying that this was something new.  Just for clarity, the IRS adjusted the income levels associated with those rates, not the rates themselves.

Onward . . .

LBJ lost his first bid to the Senate essentially the same way

45% of the vote for that guy, huh? 

Keep reminding them that he helped push through the warp speed COVID 19 vaccines, that he loves communist dictators, and that he was friends with the Clintons and with Epstein.  You wouldn't necessarily keep them home, but it still pisses them off.

No it doesn’t. He’s infallible to them.

apparently they were ads scheduled to run during a Univision interview with Trump. they also canceled a scheduled response to the interview from the Biden camp.

it sounds like they got some new corporate overlords. surprise.

Weird. An old high school classmate of mine was in-house counsel and involved in their lobbying efforts, and she's very left leaning. She quit a couple years ago to work at a non-profit in the DC area. Wonder if she saw the writing on the wall?

When physically threatened, to paraphrase Robert Caro, from childhood LBJ would lie on his back and start thrashing his legs violently while shouting something like "don't you hit me! I'll kick you!" It had nothing to do with him going to what is now Texas State. They had their first football team in 1904 ffs.

Are you drunk?

After that story I feel like gettin drunk.

Me too.

Admittedly, I felt like getting drunk before that story, too.  Definitely after, though.

Well, it's all about betting action, not predictions.

So what was the point of posting it here instead of a degenerate gambling thread?

If you want to see the end of Biden’s presidency watch the Q and A going on right now.  Holy smokes 

granted i got out of the car 20 or so minutes ago so maybe something went off the rails but the real holy smokes was the first question (by the financial fucking times) asking if xi told biden when china would attack taiwan.
