There was one transcript that was professionally embarrassing to read. The lawyer representing the GOP was trying to use as evidence an affidavit of a person who claimed to have overheard someone else say something. It clearly fit the legal definition of hearsay, which is not evidence absent an appl...

Thanks! Very interesting and thought provoking. Thanks. I should probably go through that once more in case I left something out. I was posting on the fly. If I think of something, I'll come back and add to it. Until then...Covfefe. ;-) What I most appreciate is your approach: people are the way th...

Why an S Corp? Can you limit your malpractice exposure that way? Are you joking? No, it's not. Malpractice insurance is a drop in the bucket but it is nice to be able to write off the expense. I pay far less in taxes as an S Corp then I did back in my employed days. Trump's tax plan was generous to...

Thanks, Gunnar. I don’t know that I’m right about this stuff. It’s just how I think about it.I find it challenging to reconcile my progressive values with a nearly 250 year blueprint for government.

Thanks! Very interesting and thought provoking.

Interesting article. Thanks for posting it.

Worse, indeed. Our first peak, that caused us to partially lock down in Washington State, was 500 new cases a day. They were concentrated in the Tacoma-Seattle-Everett corridor, and hospitals ran out of PPE and almost overran their capacity. Our second peak, in July, was 1000 cases per day. It led t...
