Screenshot of an article on msn.com: Simmons spoke on Monday about how the "No Tax on Tips" policy, part of Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill" signed into law last year, had delivered an $11,000 tax refund to her family. The policy allows up to $25,000 in tip deductions through 2028. She said tips account for more than half of her $22,000 annual income, and that the relief had eased financial pressure as her husband reduced his working hours to manage a medical condition.

For the moment he had shut his ears to the remoter noises and was listening to the stuff that streamed out of the telescreen. [begin highlight] It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it. [end highlight] Parsons swallowed it easily, with the stupidity of an animal. The eyeless creature at the other table swallowed it fanatically, passion-ately, with a furious desire to track

Screenshot from Wikipedia Führerprinzip Further information: Führerprinzip One of the Nazis' most-repeated political slogans was Ein Volk, ein Reich, ein Führer – "One People, One Empire, One Leader". Historian Joseph Bendersky [de] says the slogan "left an indelible mark on the minds of most Germans who lived through the Nazi years. It appeared on countless posters and in publications; it was heard constantly in radio broadcasts and speeches." The slogan emphasised the absolute control of the leader over practically every sector of German society and culture – with the churches being formally the most notable exception.[21] The designation Führer itself was initially used only in the context of the Nazi Party, though its meaning gradually sprawled to cover the German state, the German Armed Forces, the German nation, and ultimately all the Germanic peoples.

The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money. Take boots, for example. He earned thirty-eight dollars a month plus allowances. A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. Those were the kind of boots Vimes always bought, and wore until the soles were so thin that he could tell where he was in Ankh-Morpork on a foggy night by the feel of the cobbles.
