They're still at it on the roof above me.
But we're getting stuff done around here. Today we filed our taxes, as early as I can ever remember accomplishing it.
This historical artifact (I think genuine) captures the ambivalence of the moment. Ultimately, the state we finance makes war possible. Of course taxes also do plenty of other things -- as many as we the people can squeeze out of the state through ongoing agitation.
Citizenship is so much more than paying those taxes. At least this year I can be glad taxes are going to a pretty competent Biden administration rather than to an inept wannabe autocrat.
Enough for now.
