Yes, overseas owners are escaping capital controls in their own authoritarian countries. Banks and brokerages have to abide by strict KYC, AML, and reporting so theyre fucked if they park wealth there. Real estate is the last Wild West fr

It would be nice if that's all they did, as new supply could blow them into oblivion. Instead they vote for ever more oppressive zoning and codes to turn their property into something you cant get unless you buy from them.

Pregnancy applies to the poor too. But agreed, there are costs that might not be offset by the rewards. Nevertheless the statistics remain filthy rich and dirt poor are acting as mirrors on the curve.

Of course, using children for your fiscal benefit while freeing yourself of the maternal responsibility is reserved for those child-free riding off of social security paid for thanks to parents raising productive children. You see it's

In this scheme, by design, you get the income when the children are grown so it shouldn't yield the negative correlation. I specifically accounted for your concern and designed it to incentivize raising productive children.

Let parents lay claim to X% of the loot (tax) government takes from their children. It's what boomers do to us but with reverse incentives as they profit more the fewer children they have as social security isn't tied to your con

The IRS can't make you say where the income is from, though, so unlike logging it's at best a hint of a crime rather than an admission of crime.

Here's an example. You don't have a right to a short barreled shotgun (per US v. Miller). But you can get one by buying a stamp. If I'm a felon applying for the stamp would be incriminating, thus courts ruled felon cannot

Why isn't it illegal to force someone to log/elog overage hours? Isn't that a fifth amendment violation as you're forcing them to incriminate themselves? Seems elog should be challenged.

Why not just start a business, be 'firable' using the article's strategy, then hire yourself out as a contract company thus be able to work for anyone while technically only working for your own sponsor company.

Why wouldn't they? They'd probably just use the business tin as the taxable account owner and then their real foreign passport as the UBO for KYC. If they can't do that it would surely break the wheels of industry as foreign

I have a dumb question but how often do tourist visa overstayers get deported while running their own business under an incorporated ITIN? There's not even an I-9 check for non-employee income. There's got to be millions of peo

Probably not. Quite seriously I would propose building a bunch of different designs and have the tourists rate their experience, as there are many competing factors here.

In a market economy the producer sells what the customer demands. If some dystopic speech restrictions is what consumers want, that's what will be provided. Symptoms of a diseased customer.

Still. You need about 1000 8 inch cmu at $2 each, a mixerload of 10 yards concrete, a few hundred feet of pex line and a bit of 4 inch pvc, plus a toilet on the next indestructible prison toilet order. I could build that for under 100k eas

That's a different union, what's your point? Unions aren't inherently negligent or parasitic. What's telling is I describe one bad one and you assume all are described that way, which is 'tiring' presumption
