The only great, big, beautiful Bill (and the biggest winner): Bill Russell. The GOP bill is a big, ugly loser!

Is it possible to not continue the propaganda use of “big beautiful bill” and other tropes they form with the intent of pushing their dialogues. Ty - I have more but I’ll hold for now…..

I get that comment a lot, but I'll clarify. I'm using that term not because I think it's any of those things, but because that's what's searchable right now and in order to have the most people gain access to the information I'm using the term. More than anything I want people to read it.

You are right on point with how people understand bills. They seem to be written in order to be difficult.

You need a “smoke break”, with bubbles. When I got stressed out at work I would take a bottle of bubbles outside and just blow, lol!

It’s something to do that your kids might enjoy, they can pop your stress away.

I appreciate all the work you’re putting in to helping us understand the bill!

I was having a hard time with it by myself. You’re exactly right about the citations and the confusion.

Learn to sew... It's meditative, reqires concentration, productive, ENJOYABLE, and you, a woman are MAKING! Women need to make! Making children isn't the only "make either". Yes, it can be geeky, but you can remake, repair, and make clothing...practice makes you better, and theres a huge community if quilters and sewists of all things. Might seem weird, but learning to sew and embracing this as a craft or hobby offers really good distraction from the current! You can still wear your headphones and listen to your phone as I am right now. I just turned 70 and sent 30 years in telecom (VP at the end) working with sone nice folks and a few jerks too...almost all men. I survived another 17 years in retail...almost all women. I am 70... and can now say the advice of the wise woman is to be considered carefully! (Buddha)
