Here you go. 90 billion hours in MS Paint.

I guess you could use the sequence/topological definitions, but where’s the fun in that?

Explanation under the cut for those who don’t know what this meme is going on about :)

The proposed tax plan in the House could be going to a vote as soon as tomorrow and it still includes the portion that dramatically increases graduate students’ tax burden. (More on that here, here, and here) 

It is vitally important that if this impacts you (or even just upsets you) that you call or email your congressmen! I propose contacting senators and representatives because the Senate currently has it’s own bill but will address this one if it passes. Below I have provided what I wrote to my congressmen as an example because I know the hardest part is knowing how/where to start. I am also including a template that you could use and modify for your own correspondence.

Feel free to message me if you want other tips or just want to rant about this tax plan.
