QT:{{”
Last year’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act… made
permanent a 20 percent deduction that effectively lowers the top tax rate for private-business owners from 37 percent to 30 percent. And it preserved a loophole that lets business owners in most of the country, but not salaried employees, deduct their state and local taxes in full…. A loophole that lets private-business owners avoid Medicare taxes has
similarly been justified as a break for the little guy.

Why We’re Still Breathing Dirty Indoor Air – The New York Times

September 13, 2026

QT:{{”
In early 2020, the world scrubbed down surfaces, washed hands and sneezed into elbows, desperate to avoid infection with a new coronavirus. But the threat was not really lying on countertops and doorknobs.
The virus was wafting through the air, set adrift in coughs and conversation, even in song. The pandemic raged for six months before global health authorities acknowledged that it was driven by an airborne pathogen.
With that revelation came another: Had indoor air quality ever been a priority, the pandemic would have exacted a far lighter toll in the United States.

So in mid-March he bought four Mac Minis (“I got lawyer money,” he said dryly), parked them under his office desk and installed OpenClaw on all of them. He set up five agents. One is an “orchestrator” that logs into his online legal software. At first, it didn’t know what to look for or what to do, so the agent would text Bell via the chat app Discord to ask for instructions. This was laborious for a while: He had to detail every teensy step. But as the agent made notes about what it had learned, it started working more independently.

From Cow-Milking Robots to Weed-Zapping Lasers, Farmers Are Embracing A.I. – The New York Times

But the farmers I spoke with hope that embracing new tech will help them face big challenges in the industry. In particular, they’ve found it more difficult in recent years to find enough workers, and on family-run operations, fewer kids are sticking around to take over the business. It’s still hard to say how exactly the age of A.I. will reshape agriculture. But for now, these farmers are figuring out new ways to use technology to transform their daily work.
