What you see entering my house
So, over the weekend, I finally got around to putting up my M2 car collection mounted, which was not easy.
The picture doesn't show it well, but we live in a split level, so those are on the wall above the stairs leading to the basement level. That took some fun ladder settings which was still janky as hell. The shelves are an older Ikea picture ledge mounted upside except for the bottom one that I scored off of marketplace at an awesome price, 7 for... I think $30, something around that. A quick check on eBay, and people were selling NOS ones for over $100, so... I already have some figures on the newer model of picture ledge, those cost about $12 each, so it was a no brainer to snap these up, especially as they were nearby and I could pic them up while working.
I do have a thing for cab overs, which is why the vast majority are VW vans and pickups or 60's era American pickups and vans. I do have a few other things, but those were mostly bought before I found that I could get these at WalMart, when my choices were slimmer, stuff I like, but don't love.
And yes, those two cars with the orange background are Batmobiles, the Adam West one as well as the one from Batman Adventures, my two favorites.

[Undocumented immigrants pay taxes and their IRS employment data is being used to track them down.]
Yeah, not only is tax revenue going to spike downward, business tax revenue is going to go down due to a labor shortage. The spouse needed to use a shredding service, but the trucks aren't available because the labor that preps and empties them are staying home thanks to the ICE raids. Lots of people aren't leaving their homes. I expect many businesses may fail, if not ultimately the economy.

It's unclear whether that was an EO or not, but if'n it was, Trump can legally cancel it, if not, it's not like Congress or the courts care about the law any more.
