What Movies or TV shows are you watching (2024)
I have just finished an interesting three part series (59 minutes per episode) from BBC iPlayer, called "Lucan" and it was worth the watch IMO. This especially as the murder and scandal around Lord Lucan happened when I was about 26 years old, and it was the talk of the town, as the saying goes. Obviously I can't give too much of the plot away, however it does focus on one man's crusade to find Lucan, even after all this time, because he had his own reasons. -

Republicans begin to walk back campaign promises
From NYT: No tax on tips? Lower corporate taxes? No tax on Social Security benefits? While Republicans are poised to control both chambers of Congress, opening a path for Mr. Trump’s plans, the party is now grappling with how far they can take another round of tax cuts. Lawmakers and advisers to Mr. Trump are undecided about how much money they can commit to lowering the nation’s taxes again. The cost of just preserving the status quo is steep. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office has estimated that just continuing all of the expiring provisions would cost roughly $4 trillion over a decade, and Mr. Trump’s campaign proposals could add trillions more to the debt. “We can’t just have it be unlimited, whatever we want to it to be,” Senator James Lankford, a Republican of Oklahoma and member of the Finance Committee, said of the cost of a tax bill next year. Some of Mr. Trump’s campaign proposals, including creating a new deduction for interest on car loans, run counter to traditional conservative ambitions of simplifying the tax code. Markets and investors are preparing for higher deficits under a second Trump administration, selling bonds that could become less valuable if the government has to issue many more to finance a larger debt. Mr. Trump’s chief idea for raising federal revenue has been to impose steep tariffs on imported goods. The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget has estimated that Mr. Trump’s agenda, including higher tariffs, could add roughly $7.5 trillion to the debt over the next decade. While studies have found that his first tax law did help jump-start some growth, the additional economic activity was not found to be enough to offset the cost of the tax cuts. “There is an increasing concern among rating agencies and markets that the debt that we are building up is going to reach a point of being unsustainable,” said Shai Akabas, an economic policy analyst at the Bipartisan Policy Center. Mr. Paulson, a potential nominee for Treasury secretary, said that several other of Mr. Trump’s proposed tax cuts — including not taxing tips or overtime, and restoring a deduction for state and local taxes — should also become narrower so they benefit fewer people and cost less money. -

Still can't figure out how Biden got 81million plus votes in 2020. Vastly greater than the numbers achieved by the likes of Clinton and Obama. -
