Taxing something makes it real. I don't concede the reality of speculation wealth unless sold. It is much better to tax value added at purchase, with IPO, option exercise and first sale after inheritance, gift and donation marked to market. Also, value added taxes on purchases cannot be evaded. Wealth taxes will be paid for by funds taken from everyone else. What seems fair to non-professionals may not be workable. The wealth tax is just such a thing.

Latinx is designed for non-binary people whom Latina and Latino don't work. Some in the media or politics are clueless, so they use the term. Anyone who is very much bothered with the term Latinx is likely not a potential Democratic voter.

Sainthood has become a very political thing of late, like the Meritorious Service Medal.

Maine has not yet gotten the memo that Espinoza v. Montana apply to them and that their Blaine Amendment is unconstitutional. The next hurdle is affirmative funding of accredited private schools. Let the Union in and act like their views on abortion do not matter toward its legality (they don't) and the teacher's unions will gladly go along.
