Why? An astute therapist might diagnose us as codependent and sign us up for Toma- to-Anon meetings.

The Shannon Bardwell book describes the family’s year-long experiment in eating only locally grown foods. About her gar- den, she writes: “It (the garden) gets a body outside for some part of every day to work the heart, lungs, and muscles you wouldn’t believe existed, providing a healthy balance to a desk job ... It is also noiseless in the garden: phoneless, meditative, and beautiful ... nothing is more therapeutic than to walk up there and disappear into the yellow-green smell of the tomato rows for an hour to address the concerns of quieter, more manageable colleagues.

U.S. business economists expect corporate sales to grow over the next three months and hiring and pay to rise with them. But a majority of the economists surveyed by the National Association for Business Econom- ics say the corporate tax cuts that the Trump administration pushed through Congress have yet to affect their plans for hiring or investment. The administration had promoted its tax cuts, which were heavily tilted toward corporations and wealthy individuals, as likely to raise worker pay and promote corporate in- vestment and expansion over time. The NABE also said a majority of respondents from goods-producing companies said their companies were delaying investment, raising pric- es or taking other steps in response to the Trump administration’s trade conflicts with other na- tions. The results of the quarterly survey being released Monday reflect responses from 98 of the NABE’s members be- tween June 14 and June 27.
