Morel mushroom hunting tips for this season 
It’s about that time of year again. The snow is finally melting and the temperature is starting to rise. If you’ve never eaten or heard of the morel mushroom, they’re a rare treat that only bloom once a year. Morels grow across most of the United States, but they aren't necessarily easy to find. Morels normally begin appearing around April, depending on conditions such as moisture and soil temperature.

Here are a few helpful hints on where you can find morel mushrooms and how to identify them. When daytime temperatures reach the 60s and nighttime temperatures are in the 50s. More specifically, a soil temperature of 53 degrees is the time to start looking. Variables affecting ground warmth include type of soil (well-drained sandy soils warm up more quickly than clay), the degree that the ground slopes and its aspect (whether the slope faces north or south), the amount of sun or shade, soil moisture and the time of day. Soil temperature at one location can vary as much as eight degrees a day. In the beginning of the season, check southern-facing hills, as they get more sunlight. Later on in the season, northern-facing hills will start to show signs of growth.

The best places to look are under dead and dying trees. Look under dying elm, ash, oak, and apple trees. Don’t forget to look within brambles and thick underbrush. Ravines and creek beds are also great spots to look as they tend to hold a lot of organic matter.
 
When you spot a morel, look around closely, there’s bound to be more. If you plan on hunting in the future, use a GPS to mark your location, as morels tend to grow in the same spot every year.

60 Profitable Fortune 500 Companies Avoided All Federal Income Taxes in 2018
For decades, profitable Fortune 500 companies have manipulated the tax system to avoid paying even a dime in tax on billions of dollars in U.S. profits. This ITEP report provides the first comprehensive look at how corporate tax changes under the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act affect the scale of corporate tax avoidance. The report finds that in 2018, 60 of America’s biggest corporations zeroed out their federal income taxes on $79 billion in U.S. pretax income. Instead of paying $16.4 billion in taxes at the 21 percent statutory corporate tax rate, these companies enjoyed a net corporate tax rebate of $4.3 billion.

                     It Was All Good, But Then Came The Beer and a Bonfire


 I thought Democrats were really concerned about “voter suppression?”
I guess you can’t suppress people’s votes if you don’t give them the choice in the first place. Illinois is trying that out by passing a new law that forbids Trump from being on the 2020 ballot unless he releases five years of tax returns.

Philadelphia City Council introduces bill to phase out, potentially eliminate soda tax
A member of Philadelphia’s city council introduced a bill last month that would phase out and potentially eliminate the soda tax. The soda tax is barely two years old, but many local lawmakers are saying they’ve seen enough. No state has passed a statewide beverage tax, though Connecticut, where new Gov. Ned Lamont is pushing for one, could become the first. Only a handful of cities besides Philadelphia — including Seattle, San Francisco, and Boulder, Colorado — have passed soda taxes.
