Trump just issued a foul warning
On Christmas of all days, Donald Trump chose to call Democrats “scum.” Not criminals. Not misguided. Not wrong. Scum. A word we usually reserve for things we scrape off the bottom of a shoe or skim off polluted water.Thom Hartmann (Alternet.org)

Thousands of glaciers will vanish each year in the coming decades, leaving only a fraction still standing by the end of the century. Read more from Phys.org:
What could stop the massive glacial disappearance? Curbing climate change. And perhaps on the positive side, climate goals are becoming more practical. @newyorktimes has more (article may be paywalled):

Billionaires with $1 salaries
– and other legal tax dodges the ultrawealthy use to keep their riches
Billionaires can enjoy growing wealth entirely free of income tax and reporting
Mark Zuckerberg was the lowest-paid employee at Meta in 2024,
and he made US$1.
But he is not the only very rich person who has collected $1 for a year’s work.
Why would incredibly rich CEOs make only $1 a year when they could pay themselves millions?
The reason is taxes.
Income from work is the most heavily taxed type of income,
as it is subject to both income and payroll taxes.
A self-employed person who makes a modest income of $60,000 will pay over $13,000 of it in payroll and income taxes.
Meanwhile, high-income earners who earn a $400,000 salary can pay about 30% of their income in payroll and income taxes.
So the first step in avoiding taxes is avoiding salary,
and that is what our richest Americans often do.

If you are self-employed you can do it to some degree also but you have to be clearing enough profit to make it worthwhile.
That's why that asshole congressman claiming he's CEO and only pays himself 50k as a "I'm a good guy" brag was shit. Yeah, that's 50k that he has to pay FICA and such on but he just pays himself the rest in the profit. You can shuffle your paycheck into deductible things and live on the profit. It's set up that way. 50k is borderline tax dodging. Barely not.

The bulk of the Uber-rich "income" is in the form of loans collateralized by their unrealized gains from long term investments
When they die their heirs get the principal tax-free, due to
"step-up in basis"

but we do judge a book by its cover. And we expect the cover selected to reflect the content enough to give us a clue. The saying rather annoys me.
More generally, ie other than books, often the metaphorical cover is all we have to base our decision on.
I know you were just making a perfectly good humorous reference, sorry to subvert, but it hits a button for me esp since I design book covers sometimes.
