Willow ,'Get It Done'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I'm afraid to look at just how much getting rid of SALT would raise my taxes.
I'm pretty sure we are going to get fucked here. The GOP tax plan is targeting high money blue states like CA and NY. Eliminating the tax deduction for home mortgage interest about $500,000 is just brutal. The median price of a home in LA is over that, combine that with the SALT removal and it's not going to be a happy year in states with a high state income tax like CA.
Oh wait, it looks like there is a new credit for parents and non-child dependents. That would change it to a $300 tax reduction. I stand corrected. Still, not much of a cut.
Yeah, this seems to be really brutal for people in expensive places to live.
I don't have a mortgage and don't itemize, so I'm the one who benefits? That's ridiculous and I don't care for it.
If you don't itemize and don't have a bunch of dependents, then you're going to do okay. Now if you have a lot of pass-through income and pay the alternative minimum tax you are going to come out aces.

WHERE WHERE WHERE? Is that cafe close to Seattle? Do they always have otters?

I think meara is in Tokyo right now?
Ahaha, my FSA benefits debit card got terminated when I changed positions. Which I find out from my autoload to my Clipper card getting declined (I have a commuter benefit that goes through the same card (my copay for therapy was declined a couple of weeks ago, but I kinda thought I might have just used all my funds because my medical expenses have increased this year)). Now if I can figure out what that $51 "contribution adjustment" is...

Right. I even knew that, but pre-coffee brain is not helpful.
I still want to pet an otter. And a red panda.
Hot take: sweet potatoes do not belong in desserts. I don't care how sweet they are.
Sorry, Dana, can't back you up on that one. Sweet potato pie is delicious.
