A government watchdog says the IRS doesn't yet have a plan to reduce its backlog of taxpayer correspondence. The Government Accountability Office says the agency's backlog at the end of last year's filing season remained higher than pre-pandemic levels. GAO says that without a plan the IRS risks not doing all it can to bring down the backlog; and may provide less timely service to taxpayers. The IRS says it will take GAO's recommendations into consideration. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In a world dominated by filtered social media and highly polished corporate PR, authentic connection has become the ultimate business currency. Many entrepreneurs and real estate professionals feel they are "missing the boat" by not leveraging the power of their own voice. Whether you are looking to jump from $100k to $200k in revenue or simply want to establish yourself as a go-to expert, the traditional media path—TV and print—is often gated, filtered, and difficult to scale.

In dieser Episode des Produktwerker Podcasts sprechen Dominique und Oliver darüber, warum der Alltag eines Product Owners oft mehr über die Organisation verrät als über die Person. Der Gedanke dahinter ist der PO als Seismograph im Unternehmen. Wer genau hinschaut, erkennt in typischen Situationen im Produktalltag Hinweise auf strukturelle Herausforderungen im Unternehmen. Viele Product Owner kennen Momente, in denen sie sich eher wie Anforderungsmanager fühlen. Anforderungen landen im Backlog, die relevanten Entscheidungen treffen andere. Der eigene Handlungsspielraum wirkt begrenzt, obwohl die Rolle eigentlich Verantwortung für den Produkterfolg tragen sollte. Wenn sich ein PO dauerhaft so erlebt, ist das oft kein persönliches Defizit, sondern der Seismograph zeigt hier ein Signal aus der Organisation. Entscheidungsbefugnisse sind unklar oder werden nicht wirklich delegiert. Die Rolle existiert, aber das dazugehörige Mandat fehlt. Ein anderes typisches Signal entsteht, wenn alles gleichzeitig wichtig ist. Mehrere Stakeholder bringen Themen ein, jede Anfrage hat höchste Priorität. Für den Product Owner fühlt sich das anstrengend und frustrierend an. Entscheidungen werden immer wieder infrage gestellt oder der PO überstimmt. Um bei dem Bild des Seismographs zu bleiben, wird hier ein strategisches Vakuum sichtbar. Wenn auf Unternehmensebene kein klarer Fokus existiert, konkurrieren Ziele miteinander. Dann landet der Konflikt zwangsläufig im Produktalltag. Dominique und Oliver besprechen noch einige weitere Signale in dieser Podcastfolge. Diese Signale fühlen sich für Product Owner zunächst unangenehm an. Sie erzeugen Druck, Frust oder das Gefühl, ständig zwischen Interessen vermitteln zu müssen. Gleichzeitig können sie ein wertvoller Hinweis sein. Der Alltag eines PO macht sichtbar, wo Entscheidungsräume fehlen, wo Prioritäten nicht geklärt sind oder wo Wirkung nicht gemessen wird. Die Metapher des PO als Seismograph soll nicht, dass Product Owner die Ursache all dieser Probleme sind. Vielmehr zeigt ihre tägliche Arbeit, wie Organisationen tatsächlich funktionieren. Wer diese Signale erkennt, kann beginnen, sie anzusprechen und auf eine Veränderung hinzuwirken. Verändern lässt sich eine Organisation selten von heute auf morgen. Doch Product Owner können ihr eigenes Verhalten beeinflussen. Sie können Fragen stellen, Transparenz schaffen und Verbündete suchen. Manchmal reicht schon ein gemeinsames Gespräch über Priorisierung oder Ziele, um Bewegung in festgefahrene Muster zu bringen.

In this segment of The Clay Edwards Show, host Clay Edwards welcomes Mississippi State Rep. Fred Shanks for a no-holds-barred discussion on pressing state issues. They tackle the ongoing liquor distribution crisis, including warehouse backlogs, delivery delays, and calls from local stores like Spillway Wine and Spirits for a state of emergency to resolve it—potentially deploying creative solutions like extra manpower to clear orders and stem massive tax revenue losses. Fred updates on legislative wins, including funding for school resource officers, the Children's Promise Act for tax credits, mobile sports betting to boost PERS and generate over $100 million annually, and appropriations for Jackson's sewer system while killing harmful bills. They celebrate a major victory on the Pearl River widening project led by Pearl Mayor Jake Windham, promising flood protection and transformative development for Rankin County and Jackson. The conversation shifts to Jackson's controversial police chief hire, emphasizing the need for boots-on-the-ground enforcement over studies. Fred shares insights on Trump's pardon czar, Mississippi native Alice Johnson, her redemption story from life in prison to White House role, and efforts to restore voting rights for nonviolent felons. They dive into national politics, debating Stephen A. Smith's potential 2028 presidential run as a common-sense Democrat shaking up a weak bench against figures like AOC and Gavin Newsom. Plus, quick hits on I-20 repaving and casino revenue for education. Raw, insightful talk on Mississippi's challenges and wins!

Unofficial fourth host of the pod Chelanga Langason is back to give us the takes we've been missing since the end of his internet presence and the CnD NBA Show. It was great and fun. 

In this guest-hosted episode of The Andrew Gasser Show, Clay Edwards and Shaun Yurtkuran tackle Mississippi's liquor distribution crisis at the ABC warehouse, where a catastrophic backlog—stemming from a botched software rollout, the removal of an outdated conveyor system without a replacement, and a hasty switch to a pallet-based order fulfillment—has left over 200,000 cases of liquor undelivered despite prepaid orders. They explore the devastating impacts on bars, restaurants, and casinos, including tied-up capital, shrinking inventories, and potential closures or job losses in an industry that employs thousands statewide. The duo proposes short-term fixes like hotshot deliveries, scheduled will-calls, and increased manpower, while advocating for long-term privatization through distributors to remove government inefficiency. Drawing on historical roots from post-Prohibition moral codes and illegal "Gold Coast" operations, they discuss how the debacle could reshape the 2027 gubernatorial race, forcing candidates to address economic fallout and moral dilemmas in a conservative state.

This week's episode features my weird obsession of messing with Haley in Stardew Valley, the fun of fighting Queens in ARC Raiders, and how A Game About Digging a Hole is a game about digging a hole.

Missouri's mental health jail backlog is worsening. Over 500 people are currently waiting for court-ordered mental health services that would allow their criminal cases to move forward. Three years ago, the waitlist numbered around 200. Many have not been convicted of a crime but still languish in jails for months or even years. Missouri Independent Reporter Steph Quinn shares her insights from her reporting and a recent legislative hearing on the “crisis” of Missouri's mental health backlog. Annie Legomsky, director of client advocacy for the Missouri public defender's office, takes us behind the scenes of the ongoing struggle to address the mental health backlog.

Warmest of Welcomes everybody This month on the Mooglecast; Zac and Max are joined by the controversial one, big skrilly willy Skrillus to talk about some of the crews backlog plans (Pre State of Play) for the year. Max has had the Splinter Cell PS2 trilogy installed on his PS3 since 2013, will this finally be the year he plays them? Will Skrillus finally earn the last trophy for Blasphemous? Will Zac continue to to chip away at one of trophy huntings most prestigious series completions? During the preshow we catch up on some of the latest platinums earned by the discord community in Platinum shoutouts. Cactuar VS Tonberry returns with a new entry where Skrillus comes out swinging.

The rules of the game are changing—both at the border and in the regional field office. On today's episode of the America's Work Force Union Podcast, we are joined by two leading experts to discuss the policy shifts threatening union leverage in 2026. Part 1: The USMCA 2026 Review with Adam Hersh Senior Economist Adam Hersh joins us to break down the high-stakes "NAFTA 2.0" review coming this July. While USMCA was sold as a fix for manufacturing, Hersh explains why loopholes in auto rules of origin and the threat of offshoring continue to chill collective bargaining. We discuss: What happens if the U.S., Mexico, and Canada don't agree by July. How "China-linked" supply chains are shifting the footprint in Mexico. The essential pillars of a truly worker-centered trade agenda. Part 2: The NLRB Staffing Crisis with Andrew Strom Brooklyn Law School professor and labor lawyer Andrew Strom returns to discuss a compounding crisis at the National Labor Relations Board. With staffing at a decade-long low and a post-shutdown backlog mounting, "justice delayed" is becoming a tactical weapon for employers. We dive into: How new ULP intake procedures are slowing down investigations. The "chilling effect" on witness statements when cases sit for months. Why funding the NLRB is the most cost-effective way to protect the NLRA. Listen in to hear how unions can navigate these legal and economic headwinds to keep building power.

As soon as they were done watching it Kevin got Gary (TheSlyGCooper) and Kade (TheGreenGorillaGamer) to give their immediate reactions to PlayStation's February 2026 State of Play. They cover their top highlights, a few missed opportunities, and some write-in reactions from other Trophy Talk Discord members. Kade almost loses his dinner in multiple ways and Gary insists that that we will never actually have a "year of the backlog."

Om att arbeta gratis i flera år, om att bygga system som eliminerar backlog, och om varför långsam, metodisk tillväxt ofta är en större konkurrensfördel än aggressiv expansion.03:15 - Självkänsla Vs Självförtroende – Att Vara Trygg I Sina Beslut05:10 - Mobbning, Flytt Och Att Utveckla Mental Tålighet09:15 - Risk Management – Företagande Som Kontrollerad Exponering10:45 - MMA, Strategi Och Att Spela I Sin Egen Arena14:30 - Extrem Kostnadskontroll Och Minimala Fasta Kostnader18:45 - Utdelningar, Bröllop I Italien Och Investeringar I Andra Bolag24:30 - Hur Man Blir Bra På Att Göra Tråkiga Saker31:20 - År Av Gratisarbete Och Alternativkostnad33:00 - Varför Joel Startade Egen Podd39:00 - 85 % Av Alla Poddar Är Inaktiva – Vikten Av Kontinuitet48:55 - Backlog Är Gift – Problem Måste Lösas Direkt50:30 - Returer Som Säljs På 24 Timmar – Enkel Systemlogik59:25 - Barnuppfostran, Pengars Värde Och Att Inte Skämma BortHär hittar du Joel & Gymkompaniet:https://www.linkedin.com/in/joel-l%C3%B6wenberg-833b9456/ https://gymkompaniet.se/ Sponsor Shopify:www.shopify.com/framtiden Berns Event:https://framtidensehandel.se/products/roast Följ Björn på LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/bjornspenger/ Följ Framtidens E-handel på LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/company/framtidens-e-handel/ Besök vår hemsida, YouTube & Instagram:https://www.framtidensehandel.se/ https://www.instagram.com/framtidens.ehandel/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEYywBFgOr34TN8NtXeL5HQPoddproducent och klippare Michaela Dorch & Videoproducent Fredrik Ankarsköld:https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaela-dorch/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/ankarskold/ Tusen tack för att du lyssnar!Support till showen http://supporter.acast.com/framtidens-e-handel.

In today's Cloud Wars Minute, I explain why the AI revolution isn't a bubble — it's backed by unprecedented backlog growth.Highlights00:02 — There are some wild numbers being thrown around here early in 2026 as we think about the CapEx investments that the four hyperscalers — Microsoft, AWS, Google Cloud, and Oracle — are making to build up their AI factories, their AI and cloud infrastructure to meet the incredible demand for AI training, inferencing, cloud transformations, business transformations, and more.01:28 — The money, the huge revenue, is already there, and it's growing at an incredible pace. That's why these companies are investing so much, because the market is so enormous, the potential is so huge. This number —$1.63 trillion — that's the amount of either RPO or backlog combined that those four companies have generated going forward.02:12 — The RPO backlog figures for each of these companies are: Microsoft, $625 billion, growing at 110%; Oracle, $523 billion, growing at 438%; AWS, $240 billion, up 40%; Google Cloud, $240 billion, growing at 55%. These are very fresh figures from their Q4 earnings results.03:28 — Microsoft and Google each going to spend about $185 billion in CapEx this fiscal year; AWS, $200 billion; and Oracle, about $75 billion. That totals up to $645 billion dollars in CapEx. The world has never seen anything like this. We're into unprecedented territory here.04:39 — That is money that's chasing this already committed business in RPO and backlog. This is $1.63 trillion. That's right here, right now — a snapshot of what they already have in backlog. Even if they don't come anywhere close to those growth rates, they're still showing extraordinary growth and vitality.

In 2025, the VA announced a historic reduction in its disability claims backlog, processing millions of compensation and pension claims at a record pace. While faster decisions can mean shorter wait times for veterans, speed does not always equal accuracy. In this episode, CCK Partner Brad Hennings breaks down what the VA's backlog numbers mean, why high-volume processing can raise concerns, and more.

Often times Product Owners and Agile Dev Teams get confused on who owns what when it comes to the product backlog and the sprint backlog. I want to help you figure that part out, but I also want to share some practical ways that you, as a product person, can grow your practice and work in the right backlog. Maybe you are not sure about how much detail to put into this story, or maybe you are not confident enough to walk away from it and just take your hands off the Sprint Backlog. Remember, that is owned by the dev team.Let's journey!scott@planetproductowner.org

Episode 155 of Nintendo Therapy is packed with Switch 2 chaos and cozy Nintendo vibes. We talk DLC, backlog victories, and whether Doug Bowser needs a new name now that he's on Hasbro's board. Then we dig into huge news: Switch 2's record-breaking launch in Japan, Wizard101 unexpectedly dominating the eShop, Dispatch becoming an episodic indie monster, major Mario Wonder and Donkey Kong updates, and how impressive (and important) FF7 Remake Intergrade is on Switch 2. Plus, Year of the Backlog check-ins, Metroid Prime thoughts, and a deep dive into Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team.

Start The Year With a Clean Backlog - Mike CohnThink outside the box.Do you hate that phrase as much as I do?It's become another overused business cliché, and it bothers me for another reason: Creativity often comes from thinking inside the box.This is especially true in agile story-writing workshops. The difference between a successful story-writing workshop and one that fails to deliver often comes down to a single factor:Whether or not the product owner defines a clear, significant objective: a “box” within which the team can think.Workshops without boundaries often roam across the entire product. Teams may generate a long list of user stories but those stories lack cohesion or purpose. They're hard to prioritize, and even harder to act on. The most productive workshops start with a simple framing statement from the product owner, like: “We're here to think about this specific subset of the product.”That's it. One well-chosen boundary and suddenly the team is aligned, focused, and generating better, more valuable ideas.Early in the product's life, that boundary might be about identifying what's needed to deliver an MVP.Later on, it might center around a Minimum Marketable Feature (MMF), something small enough to ship but valuable enough to matter. When workshops are focused around a meaningful objective, you don't need to hold them every sprint. I typically run them about once a quarter because one well-run session generates a steady flow of high-value stories.As this year closes and a new one begins, it's a great time to schedule a story-writing session. You might even want to bring our trainers in for a Story-Writing Workshop, where we'll work with you to: Set powerful, objective-based boundariesWrite stories that are right-sized and ready to buildBuild a focused backlog that everyone can align around Discover how to kick off the new year with a backlog that's ready to go.Whether you hold your own story-writing workshop or bring us in to help, remember that thinking inside the box is a powerful way to take teams from good to great,How to connect with AgileDad:- [website] ⁠https://www.agiledad.com/⁠- [instagram] ⁠https://www.instagram.com/agile_coach/⁠- [facebook] ⁠https://www.facebook.com/RealAgileDad/⁠- [Linkedin] ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/leehenson/

Then, I share how the tools and skills you will learn in Navigate provide a clearer framework for designing a more intentional academic career and sustainable writing practice.

A New Year means new resolutions and for many of us that includes making a pledge to chip away at the ever-growing backlog. Are you going to tackle a new series? Revisit an old classic? Are some of last year's hits on sale for the right price? Or do you need something effervescent to pair with a white meat? Eric, Victor, and special guest John Carson discuss what drives them to check games of the list, and whether that's even something we should be beating ourselves up over.
