#Child Tax Credit

Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) reportedly wants to impose an income cap and work requirement for the reconciliation bill’s child tax credit (CTC) in order to gain his support. A new analysis from the Niskanen Center, a moderate DC-based think-tank, found that Manchin’s $60k a year income cap would cut benefits from 37.4 million children, or 60% of the kids currently receiving the monthly payments.

>In West Virginia, 170,000 children became newly eligible under the tax credit expansion, which was included in Biden’s $1.9 trillion stimulus package passed in March. The changes to the tax credit raised the maximum benefit from $2,000 to $3,600 per child per year and dramatically expanded the share of poor families receiving the credit. In July, the food insecurity rate in West Virginia households with children dropped from 11.6 percent to 8.4 percent, and in September a survey found 86 percent of West Virginians felt the payments had made a “huge difference.”

• “Manchin’s work requirement for child benefits would throw grandparent-led families under the bus,” WaPo.

• “Biden says he does not support adding a work requirement to the child tax credit,” CNN.

#Climate change

A key provision in the reconciliation bill to fight climate change has been dropped due to the opposition of Sen. Joe Manchin...who just so happens to make millions from the fossil fuels industry. The Clean Elect

Where is our next generation of fast bowlers coming from?

It's a question that Australia has rarely had to consider. Spinners have usually been scarce, and batsmen have been increasingly difficult to come by over the past decade. But fast bowlers are more or less taken for granted. It's a major part of our cricketing identity that we produce fast bowlers almost without having to try.

But we seem to be in a comparatively dry spell at the moment. I don't mean the current generation of Test fast bowlers; despite the occasional sniping they receive from fans, Cummins, Hazlewood, and Starc are generational talents, James Pattinson would be in the same category if it wasn't for injury, and Michael Neser looks likely to give an excellent account of himself if he ever gets the chance.

I'm talking about the next generation after those guys. It seems to me that this is the elephant in the room for the Australian Test side's medium-term future - we don't seem to have many young guys who are obvious Test-quality quicks like the current Test attack were as youngsters. Case in point: Pat Cummins debuting at 18 after barely any first class cricket, and bouncing out Jacques Kallis on the way to a 6-fa and a player of the match award.

So, below, in no particular order, I've given an overview of who I see as the next generation in domestic cricket. All of them are younger than Cummins, the youngest of the current Test attack. Overall, IMO, only one or two of them are in the same "generational talent" category as the current Big 3. That's not to say they can't be successful Test bowlers, just that none of them seem guaranteed to be.

Jhye Richardson

Probably the only young quick in the country who approaches the level of promise displayed by the Big 3 in their youth. Has an excellent first class record so far, and offers consistent threat with his accurate, pacey outswingers. Unfortunately injured his shoulder badly in 2019, and it's been a long road to recovery since. Australia will be fervently hoping he returns to his best, because he looks capable of leading the Test attack in the long term.

Jack Wildermuth

Just sneaking in as younger than Cummins by 100-odd days, Wildermuth has blossomed as a new-ball bowler for Queensland in recent seasons. He took 18 wickets at 20.83 last season. Tall, and able to swing the ball on a testing length, he is of course also a dangerous batsman. Definitely one who could do a job as Starc and Hazlewood age.

1. Jenny Erpenbeck, Aller Tage Abend [The End of Days].  The first quarter of this book I thought it was amazing, a candidate for one of the better novels of the last thirty years.  But as the pages passed, it slipped ever more into various sentimental cliches about the tragedies of German 20th century history.  Frustrating, and I fear the author’s success will make it harder to get back on the right track?

2. T.R. Fehrenbach, Lone Star: A History of Texas and the Texans.  Almost certainly the very best book on the history of Texas, and also one of the very best books on the USA and the history of the southwest, especially pre-1870.  The writing is dramatic, many segments are vivid, and the book (1980) precedes the cult of political correctness.  If you wish to read a semi-libertarian defense of how the United States obtained Texas (or do I have that backwards?), this is the place to go.  725 pp.  In 1880, Galveston was the largest settlement in Texas.  And here is a good sentence: “Because poor people settled the West, the frontier was always in debt.”

3. Peter Doggett, Growing Up: Sex in the Sixties.  A book more of substance than sensationalism, that said the substance is one of sensation.  An excellent cultural history, and it also drives home the point that things back then really were not so great, matters sexual included.  The focus is on Britain, but the coverage is global.

4. Joe Posnanski, [The Baseball 100](https://feeds.feedblitz.com/~/t/0/0/marginalrevolution/~https://www.amazon.com/Baseball-100-Joe-Posnanski/dp/1982180587/ref

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

It really does, I swear!

Pilot on me!!

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

When I got home, they were still there.

Daughter: I'm hungry

Me: nerves building, smile widening

Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.

She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.

Thank you all for listening.

Me grabbing a soda from my (what I thought was) half full 12pk...

Notices there's only 2;

Me: "Awe man... This is a damn bird box!" Her: "What the hell does that mean?!" Me: (Pulls both cans out & shows them to her) "It's only got Toucans."

I'm not ashamed to admit the look on her face was glorious.

I was just sitting there doing nothing.

“BOOM”?!
