Death Rays from Mars? No, Cuba! My Response in the New York Times.

Your comment has been approved! Thank you for sharing your thoughts with The New York Times community. tim torkildson | utah My functional disorder isn't easy to explain/it has to do with body, nerves, and palpitating brain/When I wake up to go to work my body slumps instead/and I cannot remove myself from inside my soft bed/I struggle to get up and shave, to eat a piece of toast/and then when I go out the door I sweat like prime pot roast/When I reach the office my poor head begins to pound/and I get the feeling I have gotten myself drowned/The miracle occurs at 5 p.m. right on the dot/I walk out of the office and I do a turkey trot/Maybe I should find a job involving much less stress/But nobody will pay as good as that ol' IRS!

The Tariff That Came to Dinner, as Posted in the New York Times

Your comment has been approved! Thank you for sharing your thoughts with The New York Times community. tim torkildson | utah "they are likely to bear the brunt of auto tariffs"  when bearing the brunt of disasters man-made,  the poor folk, it seems, get the worst of the trade.  those with the money are cushioned okay,  but those without means have but little leeway. tariffs are playthings for millionaires, natch;  but the poor they reduce to just living on scratch.
