Earlier it was my impression the layoffs / firings were mostly on blue collar workers.
Nope. Corporate.
Marketing?
We can only hope.

This was incredibly important. The US judicial system was starting to look like that of a Central American banana republic.

The Book Club
What a treat! Four books to look at today.
The books:
- Explorer's Guide: Philadelphia and Amish Country, 917.48RAN.
- On the Trail of Robert Pirsig and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, Mark Richardson, c. 2008. 917.3RIC. Notes.
- The Making of Middle-Earth: A New Look Inside The World of JRR Tolkien, Christopher Snyder, c. 2013. 823SNY.
- Cities of Empire: The British Colonies and the Creation of the Urban World, Tristram Hunt, c. 2014. 941HUN.
My wife and I just completed a grueling round-trip drive from north Texas to Portland, OR. Now, I will be visiting Pennsylvania -- Lancaster, to be more specific, later this summer. That's the reason for book #1 above.
I'll page through Middle-Earth. I've read much of it before. See if anything new catches my eye.
Of course, how could I pass up the Robert Pirsig story. I'll read bits and pieces but not all of it today.
And finally, I'll pick a city or two out of book #4 -- probably Hong Kong.

RMDs: Inherited IRAs -- IRS Update -- July 27, 2023
Locator: 45224RET.
The Internal Revenue Service on Friday said it would continue to delay enforcing new rules related to inherited retirement accounts, enabling some inheritors to forgo taking a required distribution for 2023.
The confusion for inherited IRA owners comes after Congress changed the rules for inherited retirement accounts in 2019. From then on, most taxpayers other than spouses who inherit accounts had to empty the funds within 10 years, not over their lifetimes, as was previously allowed.
The upshot is that some inheritors subject to the new 10-year payout window don’t have to take required minimum distributions for 2023.
