Not clumsy, just not quite perfectly balanced. She walked like a regular person.<br/><br/>She did it very well. I&#39;d have been fooled, if I hadn&#39;t followed her to her gym, and paid up for a guest membership that only a celebrity could afford. In there, where everyone was famous, and cameras were banned, she moved... better. Like a dancer. Like a martial artist. Like a goddess.<br/><br/>I changed to the same side of the street, picked up the pace.<br/><br/>#wss366 2025-01-01T01:41:57Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsqkzlzcumdprnhwn0exdxymwt220stdw65ud2lc543n26yvm9sruqzyp4m876ssfvylma2a7cg6stc4295le2njd9l2nn6t20fndcgcenvgzsxfdn Tariffs and tax cuts will lead to higher inflation and larger deficits, both of which will lead to higher interest rates.<br/><br/><a href="https://www.philipbrewer.net/2024/11/11/inflation-and-interest-rates-in-2025-and-beyond/">https://www.philipbrewer.net/2024/11/11/inflation-and-interest-rates-in-2025-and-beyond/</a> 2024-11-11T21:40:48Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqszdt3n28mq6w2j58rmsalukw280azm60rwg2tgk2ul2683yfwm3sqzyp4m876ssfvylma2a7cg6stc4295le2njd9l2nn6t20fndcgcenvg74sk5m I’m a bit surprised that the billionaires are so blasé about a fascist taking over the government. Yeah, yeah—maybe their taxes will go down. But maybe not—Trump only cares about his taxes, not theirs.<br/><br/>More to the point, don’t they know what’s been happening to the billionaires in China and Russia these past few years? 2024-10-26T15:44:03Z
