TAX OUR BILLIONAIRES

“For America to maximize its economic growth,” argues Ian Simmons in Forbes, “America’s billionaires will need to pay more in taxes.”

FURTHER EXPERIMENTS IN EXPIRED FOOD

I’ll admit to having been a little unsure about the unopened quarts of “shelf-stable” almond milk that had sat unrefrigerated since well before their August 1, 2018, “best by” date.

Good news!

They were fine.

(Just so you know, behind those quarts I discovered an unopened 20-year-old jar of Hellman’s mayonnaise — time flies! — and threw it out.  Not because it was old; age is just a number.  Because it looked revolting.  I’m frugal, not crazy.)
