"A VAT-free litre of milk or cup of yoghurt may feel like relief at the checkout, which is in fact a silent distortion of lost revenue, stifled competition, and a marketplace where not all producers compete on an equal playing field." @tormallivf (Research Analyst, Advocata Institute)

There is a growing majority in the US that wants to make America great again… at least as great as it was in January.

We live to keep watching these type of news.

"Elon Musk is the right-hand man of Donald Trump. Ranil Wickremesinghe drank tea with Elon Musk. If Ranil was President, he could have spoken to Elon and got a relief," Rajitha Senaratne

[Ricardo Hausmann @ricardo_hausman]

There is a reason why major public decisions need to be discussed by sub-committees, then committees, then the whole chamber, then the other chamber. And then the President. It is a system intended to prevent the idiocy and the lunacy of “Liberation Day”. The worst economic mistake ever.

Even a 15% tax is a concessionary rate technically. I think it is fair to tax even dollar earners, everyone must pay their fair share. Paying your taxes is a civic duty and demanding high quality public services is also your civic duty.

God,

May this new month bring more moments of peace. Where gentleness meets the joy of being present. Not rushing, or fearing what’s to come. Hopeful that You will continue showing up in spaces You’re welcomed to dwell in—heart opened to receive what You have for me.
