More than half of the country (if you wanna believe polls) oppose laws requiring transgender people to use the bathroom of sex identified at birth. That shows progress in empathy and understanding of a complicated issue.

Well said Zim. As an aside, Jim, saw my accountant today and my taxes are going UP for 2018. That plus what the tax plan has done to interest rates is costing me dearly on my mortgage refi. Thanks Trump and the GOP. |

That is awful for you, but puts you in a small minority. |

Has nothing to do with my accountant, just the new rules don't work with my personal situation as well as the old ones. |

I think there might be a bar in Boston that caters to people who expected their Insurance premiums to go down under Obamacare, but didn't. You should check it out, maybe you can commiserate with them.
I think Tuesday night is 1/2 price well drinks for those who didn't get to keep their doctor. |

Because of the cap on state/local taxes? That hurts me too, but the expanded childcare tax credits more than offset that for me, I have 3 kids...
What else would be dinging you? Did you get a raise and you are blaming the tax hike on Trump?? |
