Proposed tax on small businesses threatens Maryland's economic future

1 month ago | ourcommunitynow.com | Mary Kane

Share Maryland businesses face enough challenges without Annapolis creating new ones. Yet that’s exactly what’s happening with the proposed 2.5% tax on essential business services (H.B. 1554/S.B. 1045) — a measure that would fundamentally change the economics of operating in our state. This isn’t just another business expense — it’s a direct attack on Maryland’s business community and competitiveness when we can least afford it. And the financial impact is staggering.

「冗談でしょ？」17年前に付き合った相手とよりを戻す→2度目の別れの理由を聞いて衝撃を受けた理由

1 month ago | huffingtonpost.jp | Mary Kane

「スペイン革のブーツ」というボブ・ディランの曲に激しく惹かれた。愛車のフォルクスワーゲンでヘビロテしていた。愛とその終わりについて描いた曲で、車内で繰り返し歌った。愛が盛り上がり、そして冷めていく。そのどちらの情景も気に入っていた。30歳にしながら、愛の悲しみを感じていたからだろう。曲の歌詞を噛み締め、どれほど恋愛を切望しているか改めて気づかされた。歌を歌う相手が欲しいと思った。オンラインデートサービスを試してみることにした。私のお気に入りの曲名をプロフィールに掲げた人に目が止まった。「Owen1170」という名前の人物は、私が取り憑かれるほど大好きな曲を挙げていたので、すでにこの人に自分のことを知ってもらえているような気持ちになった。マッチングアプリ初心者の私だったが、Owen1170は素敵に見えた。プロフィール写真には、目を半分閉じたブロンド髪の男性が長い指でギターをかき鳴らしている姿が写っていた。趣味は読書とライブ鑑賞。ノートルダム大学でアイスホッケーをし、大学院も出ている。結婚歴はなく子どももいないが、結婚して子どもが欲しいという点が私と共通していた。...
State's proposed hidden tax would take big bite

Your favorite local restaurant — where they know your name and usual order — is struggling to make ends meet. The owner works 70-plus-hour weeks, employs 20 of your neighbors and operates on a razor-thin 4% profit margin. Now imagine this small business being hit with a new 2.5% tax on their accounting services, payroll processing, marketing, web and IT support — essential services they can't function without.

It was a song that hooked me. “Boots of Spanish Leather,” a lesser-known Bob Dylan track I’d been playing on my Volkswagen tape deck obsessively — the Nanci Griffith version. I mimicked Griffith’s twang and bounced in and out of singing with her. It’s a song of love and the end of love. I liked both parts — love’s rising and falling. Maybe because even at 30, I had felt love’s sorrow. The lyrics reminded me of how much I longed to be in love, to have my own someone to sing to.
