Empty nesting now for about 10 years. I’m a new ZZ (grandmother), run a small business, love Alabama football, avid golfer, and enjoy travel. I have reached the point in my life where my personal peace is far more important than any drama.

Under Chair Lina Khan, the FTC just voted to ban junk fees in hotels and live-event ticketing.
This is exactly what government working for the people looks like.
The lone no vote against this rule? Trump's pick for FTC Chair Andrew Ferguson.
The contrast couldn't be clearer.

Andrew Ferguson has opposed several major initiatives championed by Lina Khan, including FTC rules banning anti-worker noncompete agreements and making it easier for consumers to cancel subscriptions.

Trump wants to cut the corporate tax rate to 15%. This would give...
-The 5 largest banks a $4.1B tax cut
-The 5 largest drug makers a $3.1B tax cut
-The 5 largest US oil companies a $2.5B tax cut
-The 5 largest grocery stores a $1.7B tax cut
Some populist, huh?

I can’t think of a single dystopian novel or movie that imagined our government filled not with aliens but ignorant conspiracy theorists, Russian assets, sex criminals and grifters.

Feels like I'm just posting to the void since I'm just getting started here, but why not. I write a weekly newsletter, and this week I write about how far away from reading and critical thinking we’ve come. It's lacking in our education, COVID learning loss, social media attention spans, all of it.
We need to get back to reading and critical thinking
Because 2024 feels different from 2016.
