You ever hear the theory that the poor get audited more is because the poor can't afford tax lawyers?

Hitting the rich by another 50% could conceivably triple their audit costs. I say triple to make the point, could be 10x. Idk.

Rich peeps will tie that auditor up with lawyers.

If the board is required to do what's best for the shareholders, to maximize their profits, then they could probably be sued by the shareholders for NOT murdering whistleblowers.

Wall Street model unsustainable?

"Uh, Rick, I don't think you can say retarded any more." "Why? That's literally what this device would do, It would retard my brain function." "Well it's about choosing our words to not be offensive." "Well maybe choosing our words through the filter of what other ...

Little more than A, little less than B. I like a sexy, trim, athletic, assassin -type.

Decades later, people always have funny stories about the things they protested in college, when they were young and stupid.

Does anyone really think a precedent will be set that a President can be imprisoned? Even Trump?

Their "civilizations" were absolutely screwed over by the introduction of foreign diseases... which is no ones fault, it was 300 years before anyone knew what a virus was.... but I do have sympathy for them over all the treaties that were broken with those who survived, over and over.

Unless the natives figured out germ theory on their own prior to meeting the rest of the world, in spite of having no known record of any kind of medical science or scientific method, they were still going to be screwed.

They were lucky to have lasted as long as they did.

Just like the precedent of France, where they knew their system was perfect and best for everybody and would last forever.

Deep eye roll right to the guillotines when the people for whom the economy isn't great finally have enough of being shat upon.

Just like the precedent of France, where they knew their system was perfect and best for everybody and would last forever.

White water rapids are super fun right up to the waterfall.

But nah...... things that work now are guaranteed to last forever.
