You mean the URL I posted? I just checked it and it took me to the story.

No, the editorial from the Sacramento Bee in which they say the attempt to seize 1/2 of a corporation's tax savings under the new law is pretty stupid. You know your plan must be monumentally stupid when the freaking Sacramento Bee, a tried and true tiki torch bearer for Communism TODAY! in America, dismisses it.



Maybe you got some browser malware when you clicked on the "Barney's purple dinosaur dong" link in the other thread.  =D

EWWWWW.

Yeah, Sacramento has gone pretty much full hipster/SJW and all the unintended consequences of that. I have to drive through sometimes on my way out of state, and with the 24/7 road construction going on there, half the time I find myself taking a wrong turn and having to drive through town to get back on the Interstate. In recent years it has really reminded me of driving through the not nice areas of DC.

Well SWMBO, the beastlets and I are flying out to Sacramento this summer to visit my brother and his family.  My first visit to Kalforniastan. It should be fun.

Actually the valley was full of trump signs during the election, so Maga will be fine most places. :)

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

Looks like they're on a roll this week. It appears fast food chains, 7-11s, etc. are exempt.

Lefties.

Control, control, control, control, control.

We can't have them doing that.
