A Deafheaven reference appears in the wild! Oddly enough with Sunbather, one of their best albums, next to it... Unless there's a band called Sunbather?

What type of wages? W2? 1099? Or self employed? Or something the regular person or even upper middle class wouldn't even know about :)

So you take the going lower option in "when they go low, you go high" lol ... I had to upvote for the image of someone in the 21st century stealing a mobility device from a governor of Texas. Does Abbott deserve such treatment as a handicapped individual, debatable. But in his official capacity as Governor of Texas, absolutely!

It's a news article citing ProPublica. ProPublica did (does) the heavy lifting.

Ask your representative(s) to support (more) funding for the IRS.

John Quincy Adams went on to become a Representative for MA in the House and I'd argue was the only real demotion post-presidency.

William Taft went to the Supreme Court after his Presidency (not exactly a lateral move in and of itself) but was the Chief Justice so it's probably close. Then again institutions powers wax and wane over time, so it could be argued that it was a demotion.

Lastly, kind of a bonus factoid of post-presidency activity -- Teddy Roosevelt, after serving a term plus some (edit: he took over the presidency as the VP after McKinley's assassination) and was a Republican. He later ran in 1912 as a candidate for the Bull-Moose Party after a rift in the Republican party when they nominated the above W. Taft instead of himself or another more Progressive Republican.
