It's "daß" with a fancy eszett, not a 'k'. Gothic German can be hand to
decipher if you're not used to it.

Ah yes, I remember that's one of the forms of "ß", which is "s-z ligature".
In this form you can see the "long-s" (like a math integral sign, same root)
and "z" together much better than in the evolved form that looks like
"beta".
I'd say it's a fine set to share beer and enjoyment with, looks nice.

There is a complicating factor: time. Of course a tax increase will
spike revenue, and a tax cut will reduce revenue in the near term. But
it takes a while, years or decades, for businesses to adjust to tax
increases. Businesses react to cost increases by exporting labor, by

Because they respect the scientific method? Because they honor truth?
I thought they were obliged to publish their actual measured results,
not cherry-picked or outright fudged data.
Apparently not.

There's no need to suppose, you just have to read their bill.
Having read scores of business plans, and having written and
implemented a few myself, I've never seen one as bad as HR 3962.
- Their revenue model is to lose lots of money. Even using 10 years'
revenue to pay for 6 years' care, they're deep in the hole.

Scientists are human, and they conspire all the time. The great
majority of them have enough sense to avoid conspiring to keep
competent scientific work out of the literature, but everything else
is fair game.
And playing fair with scientific journals is a tolerably modern
virtue. In the nineteenth century there was an endless succession of
