I am not sure when I am going to get this thing done. There's so many connected ideas. So I'll go back to what Id did for the 2017 tax reform: put up a table of contents, break the post into pieces, and post and link them as I get them done.
You should not have to feel like you have to start this right away, or read it all at once.
Do try, at least the first time around, to read these in the order they are posted.
Of course, at this point, I make no guarantees that I won't update items linked towards the top, or add new ones.
And don't forget that this is a blog. If you're going to just do them one by one, you need to scroll UP. Also, there are other unrelated posts mixed in along the way.
