It’s the income tax deadline day, unless you filed for an extension. Turns out that is a popular course of action. If you’re getting an extension, I’m on your side, in a world of just-in-time worker scheduling, juggling little league games, the babysitter and bosses sending you urgent action email at 10:47 at night. But Marketplace’s explainer in chief, Paddy Hirsch is more hard core than I, and apparently sees a nation of procrastinator here.
