Then, as Jane says, “in a sentence not often uttered in the English language: taxes got me thinking about polyamory.” Jane and Andy discuss protections for alternate family structures, job discrimination, and how polyamorous people pay taxes. Finally, they break down the Trump administration cuts to the US Forest Service, including the closure of the PNW Regional Office, and how budget cuts will impact the trails so many Seattleites love to hike.
