Job Title: Yes (Other Duties as Assigned)
There isn't a single human being on this floating rock hurtling through space who has managed to live life playing only one role. Not one. If you know such a person, please let me know. I'd like to study them. Strictly for academic purposes, of course. Not because I suspect they're an alien trying very hard to blend in. The truth is that from the moment we're old enough to wander away from our parents in a grocery store, we're trying on different identities. As kids, we become explorers, […]https://xinkblotz.com/2026/06/22/job-title-yes-other-duties-as-assigned/

Track vehicle ownership data better
"regulators hv never actively tracked te “beneficial owner” of each #COE. There's never been systematic tracking of active driver #ownership & usage patterns of corporate-owned #vehicles. #Regulators cld take a leaf fr #Singapore Land Authority’s #digitalisation efforts.. any defined family unit tt holds multiple COEs unreasonably shld not be able to avoid additional #duties simply by structuring ownership differently"🧐

#Trump set what he called “reciprocal” #tariffs on most countries in April 2025 to address #trade #deficits that he declared a “national emergency”. Those came after he imposed extra #duties on #Canada, #China & #Mexico, ostensibly to address a “drug trafficking” “emergency”.
A series of lawsuits followed, including a case from a dozen largely Democratic-leaning #states & others from small #businesses selling everything from plumbing supplies to educational toys to women’s cycling apparel. -

A good marriage, if there are such, rejects the company and conditions of love; it strives to show forth those of friendship. It is a calm fellowship of life, full of fidelity, of trust, and of an endless number of useful and substantial mutual duties and obligations.
[Un bon mariage, s’il en est, refuse la compagnie & conditions de l’amour : il tasche à representer celles de l’amitié. C’est une douce societé de vie, pleine de constance, de fiance, & d’un nombre infiny d’utiles & solides offices, & obligations mutuelles.]Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) French essayist
Essays, Book 3, ch. 5 (3.5), “Of Some Verses of Virgil [Sur des vers de Virgile]” (1586) [tr. Ives (1925)]More about (and translations of) this quote: wist.info/montaigne-michel-de/…

Listen #Indians! If you can't see the implications of such obvious threats and don't assert your #rights, you don't deserve the #freedoms and #privileges you enjoy. Those come with certain #duties and #responsibilities, without which they won't survive. The only question is if you'll learn that before or after you lose them.

#Katyal responded to #Kavanaugh that #Algonquin was one import. Not #tariffs broadly applied to numerous countries across the board.
“Algonquin was expressly a trade statute,” Katyal said. “It’s everything this case isn’t.”
He said the Algonquin decision had a reference to #duties in a specific provision & an extended, clear legislative history describing the powers given to a president.#SCOTUS #law #PartisanCourt #ActivistCourt #AbuseOfPower #Trump #economy

Trump administration exempts smartphones, PCs, and chips from reciprocal tariffs… for now
After announcing this week that most products shipped to the US from China would be subject to tariffs of 145 percent, the Trump Administration has rolled back tariffs on smartphones, laptop and desktop computers, chips, and other components that are not generally manufactured in the US.
That doesn’t mean there are no tariffs on those items. But products shipped from Taiwan, South Korea, […]
