Do you know what rocker panels are? No? Well, one listener found out hers were rusted during her annual car inspection — and that they were in need of a pricey repair. Vermont is one of just nine states that still requires annual safety inspections for all cars. And over and over, car inspections — especially car inspections that end in failure — bring frustrated Vermonters to the BLS question box. Three listeners want to know why Vermont's inspection requirements persist, even as other states have axed theirs. And they ask: Do inspections actually make the roads here safer?For photos from our trip to Brian's North End Automotive (feat. Potato the dog) check out the web version of this story.Thanks to Keese Lane and Mike Santos of Essex Junction, and Julianne Jones of Derby, for the great questions.This episode was reported by Josh Crane.

In this episode, I sat down with Dr. Chris McCallum to discuss how primary care PTs are changing the landscape of “health coverage” by contracting directly with employers. The “Direct to Employer” model of care puts PTs on-site where the workers are and significantly reduces the need for self-insured employers to redirect care claims to health insurance companies. It's advantageous for the worker, the employer and the PT! And in my opinion, it's the direction that we MUST pursue in order to preserve our profession. Here's some of the links we discussed: How to find self-insured companies. Companies must file with the Department of Labor, so that is where you will find a list: https://www.dol.gov/agencies/ebsa/employers-and-advisers/plan-administration-and-compliance/reporting-and-filing/form-5500 OSHA recordable data: search the BLS website for Injuries, Illnesses and Fatalities to get an idea of employer injury rates. https://www.bls.gov/iif/ We talked about how to get paid by employers: Hourly rate model Service based pricing (FFS) Risk Sharing The On-Site Physical Therapist (book): https://us.amazon.com/Site-Physical-Therapist-Direct-Employer/dp/B0CJDDNGXK/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1VS47PGDOPKX5&keywords=isbn+979-8-218-18265-6&qid=1695568551&s=books&sprefix=isbn+979-8-218-18265-6,stripbooks,119&sr=1-1 Contact Info: chris@mccallumPT.com, www.mccallumIP.com

Vermont's logging industry has changed a lot over the last several decades. But one thing remains true: We just can't agree about how to manage our forests in the face of climate change.This raises a lot of questions about how Vermont should manage its forests — and it has led to heated debates around the state.For photos from the episode, check out the web version of this story.This episode was reported by Abagael Giles.

Being the team leader during a cardiac arrest is challenging. Using an algorithm helps by standardizing & prioritizing our interventions using an If/Then methodology. Review of BLS steps for determining if rescue breathing or CPR is needed and use of an AED for patients in cardiac arrest.If the patient is in a non-shockable rhythm on the ECG such as PEA or asystole, we will go down the right side of the Adult Cardiac Arrest Algorithm.If the patient is in a shockable rhythm on the ECG such as V-Fib or V-Tach, we will go down the left side of the Adult Cardiac Arrest Algorithm. An example of a code's flow for shockable rhythms when an antiarrhythmic such as Amiodarone or Lidocaine is administered. We will follow the algorithm until the patient has ROSC or we call the code.Good luck with your ACLS class!Links: Buy Me a Coffee at https://buymeacoffee.com/paultaylor Practice ECG rhythms at Dialed Medics - https://dialedmedics.com/Free Prescription Discount Card - Download your free drug discount card to save money on prescription medications for you and your pets: https://safemeds.vip/savePass ACLS Web Site - Episode archives & other ACLS-related podcasts: https://passacls.com@Pass-ACLS-Podcast on LinkedIn

Tariff announcements cause market chaos           In an effort to balance trade relationships across the globe, several new tariff announcements were made on April 2nd. This caused the markets to decline sharply in Thursday's session with the Nasdaq closing down nearly 6% and the S&P 500 closing down nearly 5%. I must say I was not necessarily surprised by that decline, but was more surprised by the run up in the market in the days leading up to the announcement. The administration has been talking about these tariffs for months and I for one was not necessarily surprised by the actions they plan on taking. The U.S. will be implementing a baseline tariff rate of 10% on all countries and that goes into effect on April 5th. After research into trade practices from other countries including tariffs, currency manipulation, and trade barriers the U.S. will also be implementing higher duties on several countries. This includes an additional 34% on China, which comes on top of the previous tariffs for a new effective rate of 54%. According to the administration, this compares to a calculated tariff rate of 67% from China. Other tariffs included a 20% rate on the European Union vs a 39% calculated rate on our goods, a 46% rate on Vietnam vs a 90% calculated rate on our goods, a 32% rate on Taiwan vs a 64% calculated rate on our goods, and a 24% rate on Japan vs a calculated rate of 46% on our goods. This is just a small sample as more than 180 countries and territories will be facing these reciprocal tariffs. The problem here is the bottom for stocks might not be in as there will likely be continued announcements from other countries with their response. Some countries like China, France, Canada, and Germany have responded with a combative tone and a promise to fight back. I continue to believe this trade war will not be solved overnight, but I must say with the pullback there definitely appears to be some opportunities surfacing. I'd be careful waiting for the all clear on this as by the time that comes, you may have missed some great opportunities.     Trade barriers increase around the world It is not just the US that is increasing tariffs, many countries around the world are also increasing their tariffs. There are some economists predicting that we could be headed to the biggest increase in protectionism since the 1930s, when the Smoot-Harley tariff act was in place. Back then the average tariff rate in the US was nearly 30%. Today it is around 8.4%. When it comes to the group of 20 leading economies in the world, there are roughly 4650 import restrictions, of which the US has roughly 1000. The EU, China, Canada, Mexico account for roughly 700 restrictions with the other 15 countries accounting for 3000 restrictions. Some people feel the United States is being aggressive by adding all these tariffs to products coming in to our country, but when you look at the numbers and the facts, it appears we are just playing catch-up and we are way behind the rest of the world as they have been putting tariffs on our products going into their countries. I don't understand why we are singled out as being such a bad country and unfriendly to other countries just because we want free trade in the world. I'm sure if they dropped their tariffs, we would do the same.   Jobs Report shows some positive news on a difficult day for the market With all the news around tariffs and trade, it's almost like everyone forgot that a jobs report was released on Friday. Job growth remained very healthy with nonfarm payrolls increasing by 228,000 in the month of March. This easily topped the estimate of 140,000 and was a nice increase compared to February's reading of 117,000. The previous two months did see negative revisions of 34,000 in the month of February and 14,000 in the month of January. The unemployment rate did tick higher to 4.2% from last month's reading of 4.1%, but this was largely due to an increase in the labor force participation rate. A major positive on the inflation front was wage inflation came in at annual rate of 3.8%, which was down from last month's reading of 4.0% and was more in line with a healthy level that creates growing wages but puts less pressure on inflationary forces. I was surprised to federal government positions declined by just 4,000 in the month, but yet a report Thursday from Challenger, Gray & Christmas indicated Doge-related layoffs have totaled more than 275,000 so far. Apparently, the BLS noted that workers on severance or paid leave are still counted as employed, which would have a large impact on the employment numbers. It will be interesting to see how the employment situation shakes out in this category and if the private sector can absorb those lost jobs. It's hard for some to look through the noise of all the trade announcements, but I still believe the economy is in alright spot and the growing concerns for recession may be overblown.     What is a Solo 401(k)? A Solo 401(k) is a retirement savings plan designed for self-employed individuals or business owners with no employees. Also known as an individual 401(k), this plan offers significant tax advantages and higher contribution limits compared to other retirement accounts, such as SEP-IRAs.  One major advantage of a Solo 401(k) is the ability to contribute as both the employer and the employee. For 2024, the contribution limit as an employee is $23,000 (or $30,500 if age 50 or older), which can be made on a pre-tax or Roth basis. For employer contributions, the limit is up to 25% of compensation, bringing the total maximum contribution to $69,000 (or $76,500 for those 50+). Many plans now allow employer contributions to be made on a Roth basis as well. To be eligible, you must be a business owner with no full-time employees, which includes sole proprietors, independent contractors, freelancers, and small business owners. However, spouses of business owners may also participate, effectively doubling the possible contribution. Another key benefit is that a Solo 401(k) can be paired with backdoor Roth contributions, making it an attractive option for high-income earners looking for additional tax-advantaged savings. This offers a distinct advantage over Traditional IRAs and SEP-IRAs, which can trigger taxes on backdoor Roth conversions. A Solo 401(k) is an excellent retirement savings tool for self-employed individuals due to its high contribution limits and tax benefits. Additionally, some business owners may still be eligible to make a 2024 employer contribution if completed before the tax filing deadline.   Companies Discussed: LPL Financial Holdings Inc. (LPLA), Deckers Outdoor Corporation (DECK), Apple, Inc. (AAPL) & Delta Air Lines Inc. (DAL)

In this episode of the PFC Podcast, Dennis and Doug dive deep into Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) focusing on Pulseless Ventricular Tachycardia (VTAC) and Ventricular Fibrillation (V-Fib). They discuss the challenges of performing CPR in military settings, the roles and responsibilities during resuscitation, and the importance of understanding H's and T's in improving patient outcomes. The conversation also covers post-resuscitation care, the difficult decision of when to call it, and the role of telemedicine in ACLS. The episode emphasizes the need for teamwork, effective communication, and the importance of being prepared for unexpected situations in emergency care.TakeawaysContinuous high-quality CPR is crucial for survivability.In military settings, situational awareness is key for effective CPR.One knowledgeable person can lead a resuscitation effort.BLS is the foundation for any good ACLS.Timekeeping during CPR is essential for effective management.H's and T's are critical in identifying reversible causes during resuscitation.Post-resuscitation care is vital to prevent relapse.Telemedicine can provide valuable support during ACLS.Witnessed cardiac arrests have better outcomes than unwitnessed ones.Effective communication with the team is essential during resuscitation efforts.Chapters00:00 Introduction to ACLS and VTAC02:58 Challenges of CPR in Military Settings06:02 Roles and Responsibilities in ACLS09:01 Understanding H's and T's in Resuscitation12:08 Post-Resuscitation Care and Considerations17:54 Deciding When to Call It24:11 The Role of Telemedicine in ACLS30:00 Conclusion and Final ThoughtsThank you to Delta Development Team for in part, sponsoring this podcast.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠deltadevteam.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠For more content go to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.prolongedfieldcare.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Consider supporting us: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠patreon.com/ProlongedFieldCareCollective⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.lobocoffeeco.com/product-page/prolonged-field-care⁠

More tariffs are on the way, this time targeting vehicle imports. President Donald Trump favors import taxes, partly because, he argues, they’ll help shrink the U.S. trade deficit. But if tariffs cut Americans’ spending on imports, foreigners are likely to cut their contribution to funding the U.S. budget deficit. Also on the show: BLS economists use not one but six different methods to measure unemployment, and sociology professor Elizabeth Popp Berman explains why university endowments can’t simply replace federal funding.

I had the pleasure of chatting with Dr. Richard Marn — a physician, pediatric anesthesiologist, and co-founder of Blue Pacific Medical Simulation. We dove deep into a crucial but often overlooked topic: emergency preparedness in dental and oral surgery offices. Let me tell you, the gaps in readiness are shocking. Many dental teams assume they're prepared because they've taken a BLS course or have an emergency kit somewhere in the office. But guess what? Expired meds, missing portable oxygen, and teams that freeze in critical moments are far too common. Dr. Marn didn't just point out the problems — he shared real, practical solutions. His focus is on building teamwork, boosting confidence, and creating solid habits that save lives. He broke it down into four key pillars: -Infrastructure: Is your emergency kit up to date? Does your team even know how to use it?-Competency: Are your skills sharp, or are you relying on a BLS certificate from two years ago?-Culture: Does your team talk about emergency readiness, or is it “out of sight, out of mind”?-Habits: Regular team huddles, mock drills, and clear roles make all the difference when seconds matter. As Dr. Marn puts it, "When emotions go up, intelligence goes down." That's why practice is key — it's how you stay calm and act fast in real emergencies. If you're a dental professional (or know someone who is), I highly recommend checking out Dr. Marn's free online scorecard to assess your office's readiness:  emergency.scoreapp.com And if you'd like to connect with Dr. Marn directly or explore his hands-on workshops, visit his website at bpmedsim.com We all hope emergencies never happen — but if they do, wouldn't you rather be confident and ready? Let's make sure your team isn't just hoping for the best — let's prepare for it. Resources:Dental Sedation Risk Assessment - https://emergency.scoreapp.comDental Risk Mgmt Company - https://bpmedsim.com/Mobile Pediatric Dental Sedation services - https://nymedicalanesthesia.com/ Book a consultation today:I am always here to help answer any question and schedule a 15 minute call with me.

Erica Groshen, former Commissioner of the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) uses the acronym AORTA to characterize good data; Accurate, Objective, Relevant, Trustworthy, and Accessible. This is apt since good data are the lifeblood of economic decision-making. But what happens if statistics are compromised by reduced staffing and resources, or by politically motivated manipulation? Erica joins EconoFact Chats to discuss the history and the role of the BLS, the importance of good data for decision-making by government, businesses, and families, and her concerns about political interference degrading the integrity of government statistics. Erica served as the Commissioner of the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics from 2013 to 2017. She is currently Senior Economics Advisor at the Cornell School of Industrial and Labor Relations, and a Research Fellow at the Upjohn Institute.

The basics (BLS) are core to what we do, and vital to doing it well! Today we are pleased to welcome paramedic and field training officer Alex Diaz to discuss these important EMS fundamentals.

According to the Atlantic, the questions included:“Have you ever done anything successful on your own?”“Why were you too busy to say ‘Happy birthday' to your father when he turned 90?”“Does it strike you that, in your account, everything that goes wrong is always somebody else's fault?”The lawyer also referred to James and his sisters as “white, privileged, multibillionaire trust-fund babies”.James realised Rupert, who was seated silently, was texting the questions to the lawyer. “How fucking twisted is that?” he asks Coppins.UnitedHealth's rough stretch continues, with buyouts, a reported DOJ probe and a 23% drop in three monthsUnitedHealthcare is in hot water again as the insurance giant grapples with a reported government investigation of its Medicare billing practices, pursues employee buyouts and potential layoffs and faces sharp criticism from billionaire Bill Ackman.It extends a tumultuous period for its parent company, UnitedHealth Group, marked by the killing of a top executive, a costly cyberattack against its subsidiary and high medical costs.The Department of Justice has launched a civil fraud investigation in recent months into UnitedHealth's billing practices for its Medicare Advantage plansThe probe specifically examines whether diagnoses were routinely made to trigger extra payments in those plans, including at physician groups the insurer ownsGoodliest of the Week (MM/DR):DR: Canadian banks must reveal diversity of board, top managers under new rulesCanadian banks and other national institutions have to disclose information about the diversity of their boards of directors and top management under new rules published on Saturday, in sharp contrast with the U.S. Trump administration which is ending such practices.Federally regulated financial institutions must also disclose policies to increase diversity while sending out notices of annual meetings to shareholders."Investors lack transparent and standardized information on the representation of women, Indigenous peoples, persons with disabilities and members of visible minorities in senior leadership positions … Diversity is fundamental to creating a thriving and successful financial sector that reflects Canadian values."DR: DEI is good for our business, Coca-Cola saysIn an annual filing, the company said its business could be adversely affected if it was "unable to attract or retain specialized talent or top talent with diverse perspectives, experiences and backgrounds."DR: REVERSAL: Trump rescinds DOT approval for NYC congestion toll, condemns city to pollutionDR: REVERSAL: Amazon workers reject union in vote at North Carolina warehouseOf the 3,276 ballots cast, there were 2,447 votes opposing the union and 829 in favor, according to the National Labor Relations Board.CAUSE was founded in 2022 by RDU1 employees Mary Hill and Rev.

The lawsuit is on the grounds that Wayne Franzten doesn't exist (the only search result for his name is the Apple proposal, not even in voter records or political donation or real estate records can I find him - and this is his ONLY shareholder proposal in our database EVER), and on the grounds that a religious investor cannot sue on the grounds of financial materiality since Jesus said, “Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God! It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.” | Mark 10:24b-25 and “Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions.” | Luke 12:13-15, which means churches are anti-shareholder value.

Culminating in a 2024 report, the Levy Institute (Zacharias, Rios-Avila, Folbre, and Masterson) conducted research commissioned by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) to develop a methodology to integrate home production (unpaid household labor like cooking, cleaning, and caring for children) into the BLS measure of household consumption. Senior Scholar Ajit Zacharias and Research Associate İpek Ilkkaracan sit down to discuss this research and its potential applications in the US and abroad.  Applications for the Levy Institute Graduate Programs in Economic Theory and Policy are open. For more information and to start your application, please visit: https://www.bard.edu/levygrad/. The deadline to apply is April 15, 2025.

Being the team leader during a cardiac arrest is challenging. Using an algorithm helps by standardizing & prioritizing our interventions using an If/Then methodology. Review of BLS steps for determining if rescue breathing or CPR is needed and use of an AED for patients in cardiac arrest. If the patient is in a non-shockable rhythm on the ECG such as PEA or asystole, we will go down the right side of the Adult Cardiac Arrest Algorithm. If the patient is in a shockable rhythm on the ECG such as V-Fib or V-Tach, we will go down the left side of the Adult Cardiac Arrest Algorithm. An example of a code's flow for shockable rhythms when an antiarrhythmic such as Amiodarone or Lidocaine is administered. We will follow the algorithm until the patient has ROSC or we call the code.Objective Measures of Good CPR https://passacls.com/bls/objective-measures-of-good-cprConnect with me:Website: https://passacls.com@Pass-ACLS-Podcast on LinkedInGive Back & Help Others: Your support helps cover the monthly cost of software and podcast & website hosting.

U.S. Annual Effective Rent Growth Turns PositiveThe Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) will release its final national jobs report this Friday. In all, the labor market was much stronger in 2024 than many economists predicted. The final report should show roughly 2 million jobs were added last year, and the unemployment rate hovered in the low 4% range.Economists will be anticipating upcoming releases in February and March when the BLS provides its annual revisions to job growth for the U.S. and metropolitan areas. Based on initial estimates announced last summer, there could be some significant revisions to the previous totals, and the new numbers could reshape forecasts for operational performance for multifamily by some degree.While elevated supply totals had a major impact in 2024, the BLS's revisions could help explain why some markets underperformed in a year when so many jobs were supposedly added...Read more: http://radix.com/raot-reports/

Trump is going to use the leverage against the [CB]. The [DS] is trying to protect their criminal syndicate and cover up their crimes. They buried many riders within this massive bill. The people see what they are doing and this is the opposite of what the people wanted. The [DS] firewall will not work. Trump has prepared the Road to 47 playbook to counter the [DS].

Lawmakers are calling it “economic development,” but let's be honest: it's a taxpayer-funded playground for NFL elites, lobbyists, and VIPs, while schools, healthcare, and infrastructure are left on the bench. Stuffed into a must-pass bill, there's little time for oversight—or for taxpayers to question why their money is being leveraged for luxury suites and skyboxes. https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1869414233483698402  https://twitter.com/KobeissiLetter/status/1869126254336541155  inflation periods ended, the index traded flat on average.

Biden Lied About Everything: Philly Fed Finds All Jobs "Created" In Q2 Were Fake  Biden Bureau of Labor Statistics would revise jobs for the April 2023-March 2024 period by "up to 1 million", something which we said would mean that all job report "beats" recorded in the past year will have been misses and the US labor market is in far worse shape than the admin would admit. The final results, as everyone knows by now, was a shocking 818K revision lower, just as the Philadelphia Fed had     the Biden admin lie again, but the collapse in the labor market that had been covered up for much of the past year and was only exposed with the annual benchmark revision, extended into the second quarter. "Estimates by the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia indicate that the employment changes from March through June 2024 were significantly different" - read lower - "in 27 states compared with preliminary state estimates from the Bureau of Labor Statistics' (BLS) Current Employment Statistics (CES)", the Philly Fed said on December 12. "According to the early benchmark (EB) estimates conducted by the Phily Fed, employment was lower in 25 states, higher in two states, and lesser changes in the remaining 23 states and the District of Columbia." Translation: 23 states unchanged, 1 revised higher...  and 25 lower. By state, the regional Fed bank estimates that largest revision of employment for the nine-month period ended in June will come from California, where it sees a downward revision of 172,700 jobs. Payrolls in Texas may be revised down by 112,100. An extended forecast by the BLS to the third quarter show further declines as well. Translation: in his latest attempt to create an impression of economic growth, Biden lied about everything, again. Source: zerohedge.

Alex Larrabee is in 10th grade at the Danville School in the Northeast Kingdom. She doesn't hunt, but her family does and her classmates do. And she's noticed that people who go hunting… it's not a casual interest. They're passionate about it. Alex, on the other hand, doesn't really get what all the fuss is about.Now, we at Brave Little State are not big hunters, and neither is Lola Duffort, our reporter for this episode. So, we figured the best way and probably the only way to answer Alex's question was to head into the woods and see for ourselves.

According to an exclusive report from the New York Post yesterday, Staffers at the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank raking in six-figure, tax-free salaries at both global bodies qualify for free memberships at the Bretton Woods Recreation Center in Maryland, according to documents obtained by The Post.   Stiff initiation fees at the IMF-owned course — which range from $12,000 to $20,000 — are automatically waived for all employees on the payroll of the two institutions, according to the documents, which are not in the public domain. Now, how are those membership fees effectively subsidized? Well, the U.S. taxpayer has “financial commitments” to the World Bank and the IMF numbering into the hundreds of billions, and American tax dollars (and debt) remain the top “contributor” to both institutions. Here's this, from a Congressional Research Service report released in May of this year:   And, from a CRS report released in 2022 on the IMF's financial structure: The United States contributes $117 billion to the IMF quota (17.46%). In addition, the United States has contributed $44 billion to funds at the IMF that supplement quota resources.   Source: americanthinker.com   https://twitter.com/KobeissiLetter/status/1867361922255139235    markets. They shouldn't be looking for every last penny knowing how many families are hurt. They've got record profits, and I'd rather these foreign companies spend it on the great men and women on our docks, than machinery, which is expensive, and which will constantly have to be replaced. In the end, there's no gain for them, and I hope that they will understand how important an issue this is for me. For the great privilege of accessing our markets, these foreign companies should hire our incredible American Workers, instead of laying them off,

This week on Birdie Little Secrets, Kassidy and Sydney want to make sure you know—this isn't a rerun! Nope, it's just the G.O.A.T, Scottie Scheffler, racking up his 9th victory of the season! It's also the 9th time he's been mentioned on the pod, but don't worry, the girls could talk about Baby Bennett and Meredith Scheffler all day long. The Schefflers took home the Hero World Challenge trophy, an event hosted by Tiger Woods, where 20 of the TOUR's top players fought to catch up with Scottie on Sunday. Tom Kim came *so* close, but once again, he couldn't get past his bestie. The girls chat about how supportive the Schefflers are, and how much Tom Kim adores little Bennett! Speaking of Bennett, could we be looking at a future PGA TOUR star? Maybe he'll be swinging into the PGA TOUR Q-School presented by Korn Ferry one day! In this week's FORE-1-1, Kassidy and Sydney dive into what it takes to make it to this stage of golf, as these guys are all playing to one day have a shot at beating Scottie. And that's not all—this week is the Grant Thornton Invitational, and it's the PGA TOUR x LPGA TOUR crossover everyone's been waiting for. Tune in to hear all about the exciting pairings, the drama, and more in this quick but packed episode of BLS! You won't want to miss the TEE!

The BLS labor data had a chance to show that October's weakness really was just a combination of one-off factors, instead did everything to confirm that it wasn't those at all. That includes the headline payroll number, too. Unemployment is up and, when you properly account for everyone, up A LOT.

It's been seven years since Colorado-based Vail Resorts bought the ski resort at Stowe. Almost immediately, Vail cut the cost of a season pass there in half. But cheaper skiing hasn't deterred people from lampooning Vail online or displaying angry bumper stickers in ski town parking lots — spotlighting a tension over the soul of Vermont ski culture and ski towns. In this episode, we look into what's changed since Vail's entry here, from chairlift upgrades to stress on the housing market. Plus, a general sense of transformation that's harder to pinpoint. Check out the web version of this episode for photos from our reporting and a full episode transcript.

Yellen Says Taxpayers Can Cover the US Deficit  Yellen said that IRS agents plan to collect $2 trillion in unpaid taxes, surpassing the measly deficit. I do believe some think that statements like this mean the government is going to hunt down major corporations and billionaires. That would not be ethical either, but records show that the main group audited last year was the middle class. This way of thinking is extremely dangerous. The US government is desperate for funds and they MUST shake down their citizens to recover what they can. It's a canon event in the rise and fall of civilizations – soaring taxes are a guarantee when dealing with the eventually fall of a nation. Last year, billionaire class was not targeted, as 80% of all audits were on filers earning under $1 million. Yes, there are far more taxpayers in the middle and lower brackets. However, the IRS merely claimed they would prioritize hunting higher earners; they never explicitly said they wouldn't come after ALL Americans.

This would happen because Harris has declared she will let the Trump tax cut expire next year if she becomes president. Thanks to the Trump tax cut, the amount of an estate that is currently exempt from tax is roughly $13.6 million. But according to the IRS: "Under the tax reform law, the increase is only temporary. Thus, in 2026, the exemption is due to revert to its pre-2018 level of $5 million, as adjusted for inflation." Kamala wants this to happen. She wants to soak the millionaires and billionaires. But under her plan, thousands more families will be clobbered by this tax when a parent dies. This brings new meaning to the idea of "the grim reaper." Now many farms, ranches and family-owned businesses will have to be sold after a funeral just to pay the taxes. These are mostly owners and operators of small businesses that have been built up over a lifetime to million-dollar-plus enterprises. The owners have already paid Uncle Sam millions of dollars of income, property, payroll, energy, business and other taxes and annual levies. Now they will have to pay a 40% estate tax rate, plus another 5 to 15% depending on what state they die in. In other words, roughly half of a family inheritance must be forked over to the politicians. The IRS gets almost as much as the kids and grandkids. The agents should at least pay their respect at the funeral!   Source: rasmussenreport.com https://twitter.com/KobeissiLetter/status/1845916778196537499  as companies reduce working time to avoid layoffs and cut costs.
