I feel for you. The IRS is a POS of an agency filled with incompetent people.

The only agency that may be worse is social security.

Both nothing but job programs for people that can’t otherwise be employed.

Fighting for months. I have to make 10 calls, wait on hold for approx an hour each time just to have a 1 in 10 chance of talking to someone who is not a DEI hire.

So far none know that Curatorship trounces POA. I have turned over court docs and the Curatorship document itself. Still they will not let me take care of my father's taxes. They want him to pay a total of $32K for not filing 2019 and 2020 taxes. I have already sent them the electronic filing for those years and also showed them he was paid a refund. What more do they want?

I don’t see justification for a rate increase. The current jump in inflation is due to the Iran war and oil prices. That’s over, oil is back in the 70-80 dollar range.

By mid July gas prices will be back under or around 3 dollars.

I don’t think we need to cut rates yet. Steady as we go is the right move for now and next quarter imo

My wife is a veterinarian small business owner and people just dont have the money to spend on their pets. It has been that way for at least 3 yrs. All the while corporations are gobbling up vet practices. I think it only gets worse for the middle class as costs continue to outpace wages.


I’ve noticed lately restaurants locally don’t have the crowds they used to. Local parts houses don’t have the usual inventory on hand. John Deere dealership has no mowers in the showroom, only half the other stuff like chainsaws and weed eaters, and only had one new tractor in the yard. Nobody is keeping inventories because sales are low and they can’t afford to maintain inventory
