Well, there's this thing called the Corporate Equality Index run by the Human Rights Campaign, that reviews companies on their inclusivity for the LGBTQ communities and then gives them a report to tell them what they can do better.What you'll find is "woke" companies like Meta, Adidas, Kohl's, Target, Katy Olsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12260677795905470172noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7919577631342714408.post-8385376638807240472022-10-17T10:18:00.001-05:002022-10-17T10:18:23.408-05:00Why would anyone vote against the Inflation Reduction Act? For those of you that were appalled when Biden said Republicans voting against social security, healthcare, etc...let's have a quick lesson in how bills work in congress.First, a bill isn't simply a 2-3 page document that discusses a single topic for review.

For years, people have asked why we don't have a flat tax rate like 10% across the board.

So I decided to look it up.
