The amount of coral in some areas of the Great Barrier Reef is at its highest in 36 years, according to a new report from the Australian Institute of Marine Science.
From August 2021 to May 2022, the central and northern regions of the Great Barrier Reef had hard coral cover levels of 33% and 36%, respectively. Coral cover decreased by 4% in the southern region, due to an outbreak of crown-of-thorns starfish.
The Australian agency found that 87 coral reefs generally had low levels of acute stress from things such as cyclones and increases in the crown-of-thorns starfish population. (Crown-of-thorn starfish are the second largest in the world, reaching up to three feet, and prey on coral. They have spikes with venom that is toxic to humans and marine wildlife.) The area surveyed represents two-thirds of the Great Barrier Reef.
Almost half of the reefs studied had between 10% and 30% hard coral cover, while about a third of the reefs had hard coral cover levels between 30% and 50%. While higher water temperatures led to a coral bleaching event in some areas in March, the temperatures did not climb high enough to kill the coral. Coral in the Great Barrier Reef is resilient, and has been able to recover from past disturbances, the Institute said. But the stressors impacting it have not gone away for long.

If you are thinking of getting something a little 'special'
for a special someone, won't you consider at least looking
at some of the jewelry my wife makes?

New modeling by the Tax Foundation estimates that the Democratic inflation legislation's tax hikes would eliminate some 30,000 jobs.
The nonpartisan Tax Foundation, which generally favors lower taxes, released its analysis of the legislation being championed by Sens. Joe Manchin and Chuckie Schumer on Tuesday. The group estimates that the tax changes - the biggest of which would be a 15% minimum tax on a company's "book income," higher taxes on the carried interest income earned by private equity firms, and additional funding for the IRS - would result in a net loss of jobs and would likely have negligible effects on inflation.
The plan, given the bullshit name the 'Inflation Reduction Act', would reduce long-run gross domestic product output by about 0.1% and slash roughly 30,000 full-time equivalent jobs in the United States, according to the group. The modeling also found that the plan would decrease wages by about 0.1% and raise just over $300 billion in net revenue.
The most notable aspect of the Manchin-Schumer legislative proposal is that it would levy a 15% minimum tax on the book income of companies.
The U.S. now has a 21% corporate tax rate, which it assesses based on companies’ tax returns. The new plan would assess a minimum 15% tax on the adjusted financial statement income of corporations, something Democrats contend would raise $313 billion in new tax revenue.
Do you understand any of that shit? Understand this, though - if these people are saying YOUR taxes will not go up, you can bet yer fuckin' house that they will go up. Never forget the 'Like your doctor/keep your doctor' bullshit.
