The Secret IRS Files: Trove of Never-Before-Seen Records Reveal How the Wealthiest Avoid Income Tax — ProPublica

In 2011, a year in which his wealth held roughly steady at $18 billion, Bezos filed a tax return reporting he lost money — his income that year was more than offset by investment losses. What’s more, because, according to the tax law, he made so little, he even claimed and received a $4,000 tax credit for his children.

That’s f-ing ridiculous! And immoral!!

America’s gun obsession is rooted in slavery | Carol Anderson | The Guardian

File this under things I should have known, but didn’t!

“In 1788, at the constitutional ratification convention in Virginia, a major source of contention was that the draft constitution had placed the training and arming of the states’ militia under federal control. Virginians Patrick Henry and George Mason balked, and raised the specter of a massive slave revolt left unchecked because Congress could not be trusted to summon the forces to protect the plantation owners. Mason warned that if and when Virginia’s enslaved rose up (as they had before), whites would be left “defenseless”. Patrick Henry explained that white plantation owners would be abandoned because “the north detests slavery”. In short, Black people had to be subjugated and contained and state control of the militia was the way to do that.

The sheer brutality of human bondage, where plantation owners were notorious for “barbarities such as scalding, burning, castrating and extracting the tongues or eyes of slaves”, had created an overwhelming fear among whites of the enslaved’s capacity and desire for retribution. A series of revolts in the 1600s and 1700s terrified white residents and led to a slew of laws forbidding Black people from having any weapons, including guns. The militias’ all-important role was to quash those revolts, especially if the uprising was widespread, as in the 1740 Stono Rebellion in South Carolina.

This function of the militias was so important during the war of independence that governments such as that in South Carolina devoted the lion’s share of their white manpower to the containment of the enslaved. As a result, the colony did not have enough white men to join the Continental Army and repel the British. The calculus was simple: it was more important to the plantation owners in the colonial government to maintain slavery and control Black people than to fight for American independence.

In other words, concerns about keeping enslaved Black people in check are the context and background to the second amendment. The same holds true for today.”

Too Many Questions

Do the Right Thing!

Da Mayor and Mookie!!! Alas, I find myself back here again, wondering, searching for, trying to figure out what the right thing is. And then how to do it! Wondering if I’m up to it. We’ll see…

What does it mean to say that you’re “head over heels” in love with someone when your head being over your heels happens all the time while you’re just standing up?

Apparently, the phrase began as “heels over head” in the 1300s.

“Don’t Give Up” by Gil Scott-Heron

So, I’m up early looking for music to play on #JazzChurch today, and I find out it’s a friend’s birthday. I immediately think Gil Scott-Heron because I know he likes Gil almost as much as I do!

I decide to play “Don’t Give Up” and came across this video on YouTube. It’s ethereal. I feel like GSH is one of the spirits calling our names, saying, “Don’t give up! It’s time to stop your falling. You’ve been down long enough. Can’t you hear the spirits calling?”

I love this song! Happy Birthday, Jeffrey!


Lyrics for “Don’t Give Up”

Ahh, lovely day……

I never really thought of myself as a complex man
Or as someone who was really that hard to understand
But it would hardly take a genius to realize
That I’ve always been a lot too arrogant and a little too f$%kin’ wise
That was a combination that made folks feel duty bound
To do whatever they could to try and shoot me down
To head off some of the things I might possibly say
And see if they couldn’t take some of my pride away
To bring me disappointment and teach me to fear it
Obviously, these are folks that just didn’t have no spirit
Spirits say

[Chorus]
Don’t give up (spirits say don’t give up)
Yes, it’s time to stop your fallin’
You’ve been down long enough
Can’t you hear the spirits callin’
Yes, it’s the spirits
Can’t you hear iiiiiit
Callin’ your name x 2
Yeah, talkin’ bout spiriiiiiiiiiiits heh

There are people whose lives are so far off the track
That what they like best about life is stabbing’ brothers in the back
And I was obviously too blind and probably too weak
To see who was responsible for my losing streak
The best way to explain it is to say simply because
I was looking around outside, and the truth is I was
The one. So I got locked into all of the analysis
And found myself locked into a kind of paralysis
And something was calling, and I almost didn’t hear it
But I spent a lot of time being blessed by the spirits
They keep saying

[Chorus]
It didn’t matter if it was a child or an adult
There was absolutely no one that I could not insult
So that I could isolate myself somewhere off to the side
And continue to juggle all the possible whys
The warmth I once could generate so well
Had turned into a frozen hell
And the discouraging injustices I felt
Had pinned me somewhere inside a drug-infested cell
Where those who told didn’t know and those who knew didn’t tell
And “I could continue to feel sorry for my self” [echo of ““]
And then I heard

[Chorus]
Ain’t no way overnight to turn your life around
And this ain’t the conversation of someone that never falls back down
But no matter how long you’ve been on trial
With the days and weeks of self-denial
And no matter how many times you’ve tried to make it
And found out that right then you just couldn’t take it
If you are looking for a loser who found strength and success
Remember the spirit of Brother Malcolm X
And know that you can leave all your mistakes behind
The day that you “really make up your mind” [echo of ““]
Come on, brother… pull on up
Stand on up and say…

[Chorus]

Inside the all-hands meeting that led to a third of Basecamp employees quitting - The Verge:

Another employee said they had been thrown by the fact that the founders, after years of telling employees that they were part of an elite chosen few who were good enough to work at Basecamp, would get rid of them so easily.

“They just want to build cool shit all day,” the employee said. “They don’t want to deal with people, which is something you have to do as a manager … Jason and David just threw us away.”

Fascinating story about what happens when you don’t do your work.

“To achieve great things, two things are needed: a plan and not quite enough time.”
– Leonard Bernstein

Is that why some of my best ideas arrive late, almost at the end of possibility???

International Jazz Day 10th Anniversary Celebration

A look back at 10 years of historic International Jazz Day concerts featuring dozens of music icons. Watch unforgettable performances by Herbie Hancock, Wynton Marsalis, Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin, Annie Lennox, Hugh Masekela, and many more.

I love jazz, of course, and this program is a wonderful way to celebrate International Jazz Day, especially during a pandemic. Alas, I’m also feeling overwhelming sadness because we’ve lost so many.
