Einen schönen Guten Morgen! 😀 👋 🌞

Gestern in der Hamburger Hafencity (Am Sandtorkai) entdeckt: ein Graffiti des Hamburger Streetart-Künstlers NEAL. Da fliegt dem stramm faschistisch salutierenden Herrn Musk doch glatt das Hirn weg. Ein Symbol für den Zustand der #USA unter #Trump.

Gerade eben auf dem Heimweg entdeckt: neue Streetart des Hamburger Künstlers NEAL. Das Bild befindet sich an der Wand eines Bürogebäudes nahe dem Hamburger Michel.

Die Botschaft spricht für sich und ist so wenige Tage vor der Wahl eminent wichtig!

... und noch einmal Streetart des Hamburger Künstlers NEAL.

Diesmal ist es ein alter Mann, der im "Book of Love" liest. Das Bild befindet sich an einer stark mit Grafitti bemalten Hauswand in Hamburg-Eimsbüttel.

Heute wurde an unserer Hauswand ein Kunstwerk unwiederbringlich zerstört. Die Maler haben die Wand weiß überstrichen.

Es war ein Streetart-Grafitti von NEAL, der sehr bekannt ist als der Banksy von Hamburg. Er hat es an dem Wort WUT angebracht, das lange Zeit zuvor an die Wand geschmiert worden war.

Ich habe das Grafitti fotografiert, um es zumindest so zu bewahren ...

"In 4 years of asking swing and surge voters their chief beef with Dems in focus groups, #1 thing we hear is "they don't fight." When we ask them to liken Dems to an animal, top choices are slug, sloth, turtle & tortoise."

These decrepit senior citizen Democrats are still playing by a rulebook that Newt Gingrich incinerated in 1995.

Then they're baffled when they keep losing to openly corrupt idiots.

The lasting impact of Obama, Reid, Pelosi, Schumer, and Biden is the establishment of a fascist dictatorship in a country which used to proudly call itself the land of the free.

They could not have fucked up worse.

We desperately need to face that reality.

The leadership of the Democratic party fucked up really bad. Their performance over the last few decades could not have been worse.

Nobody wants to hear it, but we cannot fix the problem until we admit we have a problem.

The Cons now have control of the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches of gov't.

They have not been this powerful for 100 years. Literally since the 1920s.

The DCCC makes no secret of the fact that their priority is to defend incumbents.

Winning a majority that could actually pass legislation is not on their minds.

Continuing the careers of elderly has-beens is all the DCCC cares about.

The result is that elected Dems are controlled by peeps who were past their prime in the 1990s.

Democratic party leadership is a forest whose lush green vibrant days are long past and now consists of a few hundred dead trees from which a few more lifeless gray branches fall each year.

#23andMe, the personal genomics company, went public in early 2021 via a merger with a blank check company that valued it at $3.5 billion.

Then its fortunes began to sink.

Fading interest in #DNA kits
– 23andMe’s main product
–  was one driver.

So was news last year that #hackers stole ancestry data on 6.9 million of its users.

CEO and co-founder #Anne #Wojcicki now reportedly wants to take the 18-year-old company private.

After her own proposal to buy it was rebuffed by its board in July,
she was given time to wangle another deal.

But its independent directors announced Tuesday evening they’ve lost faith that another proposal is coming,
adding that because of Wojcicki’s
“concentrated voting power,”
they’re done,
effective immediately.

The company’s market cap closed the day at $173 million.

Losing its glittering board
– which included Sequoia Capital’s #Roelof #Botha and YouTube CEO #Neal #Mohan, among five others
– will likely drive its shares down further.

One question is whether a shareholder lawsuit might follow.

So, endlich #Amalthea von #Neal #Stephenson durch. Hat mich leider überhaupt nicht überzeugt :-/

Amazing. Just amazing. Read this. [Politico]: ‘The 401(k) industry owns Congress’: How lawmakers quietly passed a $300 billion windfall to the wealthy
Greased by lobbying and campaign cash, tax breaks for retirement savings are one thing Congress agrees on. But they also blow out the deficit and add to income inequality. By Benjamin Guggenheim, 04/13/2024
https://www.politico.com/news/2024/04/13/how-your-401k-ate-the-federal-budget-00150319

#retirement #cardin #neal #portman #lobbyist #grifters #wealthinequality

Lobbyists for a coalition of six groups succeeded in getting changes into a 2021 Portman-Cardin bill governing IRS #oversight of #private #retirement #plans.

Fact sheets provided to POLITICO
— which a Hill staffer said the lobbyists distributed to advocate for their proposal
— sold the changes as fixes that would help elderly Americans, such as retired government and factory workers,
who had inadvertently put too much in their retirement accounts and could face penalties from the IRS.

But the lobbyists were also targeting benefits for a different demographic.

The head of the coalition, according to his biography, specializes in tax planning for🌟 “ultra-high-net-worth clients.” 🌟

The coalition also included an advocacy group that has previously been tied to the #Koch #network
— and which engaged in a massive lobbying campaign against efforts to restructure Puerto Rico’s debt that was owned by hedge fund managers in 2015.

Tax lawyers who reviewed the statutory changes said they would in fact
👉 make it far more difficult for the IRS to penalize supersized retirement accounts where owners avoided millions of dollars in taxes. 👈

“The lobby power of these groups is tremendous,” said Rep. Lloyd Doggett (D-Texas), a member of the tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee.

“There has been little lobby effort for [low-income taxpayers] and plenty of lobbying from those people in the financial services industry that benefit from those retirement plans

#Secure #financial #services #industry #tax #advantaged #retirement #savings #taxes #Cardin #Portman #Neal #lobbying

Five months before Congress faced a near-catastrophic 2022 standoff over the debt ceiling,
with Republicans demanding restrictions to food and Medicaid programs to rein in spending,
a bill that raised the cost of private retirement savings accounts to $282 billion per year was quietly signed into law.

In this era of deeply divided politics, the 2022 bill known as "#Secure 2.0" was hailed as a bipartisan success — a victory for average Americans.
It had sailed through the House by a whopping 414-5 vote.
It followed four other major bills passed between 1996 and 2019 that 🔸dramatically expanded taxpayer savings 🔸– all equally lauded as bipartisan victories.

But that rare issue that brought a divided Washington together also 💥increased wealth disparities and the federal deficit. 💥

And the victory was most strongly applauded by the burgeoning #financial #services #industry, for whom #tax-#advantaged #retirement #savings has transformed a $7 trillion retirement market in 1995 to a $38.4 trillion behemoth in 2023.

👉Tax-advantaged savings has become a staple of the American retirement system, with 60 million savers squirreling away $6.6 trillion in their 401(k)s, alone.

But a yearlong POLITICO investigation found that Secure 2.0 and its predecessor bills have expanded the system well beyond its goal of helping the middle class.

Today, ⭐️wealthy taxpayers can protect up to $452,500 per year ⭐️in tax-advantaged accounts in a single year, 👉saving up to $203,600 on their #taxes.

And they can keep their money in tax-advantaged accounts far longer.

More striking is how these victories were achieved:
A quarter-century partnership between two senators
— Democrat Ben #Cardin of Maryland and Republican Rob #Portman of Ohio
— joined more recently by the former House Ways and Means Committee Chair Richard #Neal (D-Mass.).

Backed by one of the most highly skilled and lavishly funded industry #lobbying teams, and greased by campaign contributions, Portman, Cardin and Neal turned what could have been a deeply controversial giveback to higher-income taxpayers into a staple of the American Dream.

They appealed to core beliefs in both parties
— free enterprise for Republicans, economic security for Democrats
– to enact what is arguably the most costly series of non-Defense bills in recent decades.

Indeed, that success now vexes many retirement experts, alarmed by how easily Congress acquiesces to tax breaks for retirement savings that 🔹disproportionately help the wealthy 🔹while treating the benefits relied upon by most retirees
— Social Security and Medicare
— as "budget-busters ripe for reform".

🔥“The 401(k) industry owns Congress,” 🔥said Daniel Hemel, a professor and tax law scholar based at NYU School of Law.
“Either lawmakers were trying to pull a fast one on the American people or lobbyists were trying to pull a fast one on Congress.
I don’t know which story is better. I don’t know which one I should want to believe.”
