It is just pointing out the obvious that there exist ways to transfer money obtained via criminal actions that may not be in compliance with various nations tax laws. Talking about activities that are illegal in one's own jurisdiction

The feds can’t even secure all their own systems. We had the OPM hack which resulted in the personal information of federal employees exfultrated who knows where. Also the federal government were still using passwords that were exposed in t

“Colonial Pipeline decided to pay the hackers who invaded their systems nearly $5 million to regain access, the company said.” That is the problem right there. Someone just made 5MM tax free. Time to make paying ransomware illegal and that

Medicine is an odd one. You need a bachelors + md + residency + possibly a fellowship to start practicing. Those are all competitive too. The residency will pay but only a little, and 4 years of medical school and living expenses will add

It’s the exact same in-group/out-group tactic that the neo-conservative republicans were using in the early 2000s with terrorism e.g. “if you’re not with us then you’re with the terrorists” == “if you’re not out protesting/twitter

Well in the current ideological climate "silence is violence", as they say, damn this 1984ificaton of speech sucks. More specifically I think this is targeted at any views they don't like which really sucks. It's a publ

It was sarcasm. Just tired of addicts shooting up and hassling me as I walk down the street, as well as attempting to sexually assault my friends.

Yes but we don’t know. Saudi Arabia could be a secular dictatorship/kingdom similar to Turkey or Syria by then. Iraq might be much more inclusive by then. Then again Turkey could go full Islamist crazy and be more Saudi Arabia and Erdo

I literally had an Amazon delivery person (err..1099 contactor?) throw a package over the fence at my apartment complex last year and hit my window. They do not care, add to this the piles of amazon boxes the differently-housed are grabbing

The only problem is that this is arguably a political decision by a non-political employed role.

Got some Sony XM4 noise cancelling. Totally worth the $200 for them and they work great with zoom.

Houston does not have zoning, and the sky has not fallen there. What we have in the rest of the country is an incentive structure that is firmly on the side of rent-seeking and NIMBYism. It is literally built into our tax code, with the mo

Ok so you now have only single-origin bitcoins available that are legal to purchase though a government dealer? What if it is a worldwide mining pool that is paying out worldwide, like most coin mining pools currently do? That would result

The government already forces me to pay for other people's children though our child welfare system that I mostly support. WIC/CHIP/Preschool yield enormous economic benefits. Having Aircraft carriers and military bases all

Define unfeasible. This country operated just fine for over 100 years without an individual income tax. And do we really need like 12 aircraft carriers?

This would give an advantage to Bitcoin miners in 3rd world countries where carbon credits and other fanciful notions are optional. We [the developed world] would be outsourcing our Bitcoin pollution to these 3rd world countries and also co

I’d say taxes are halfway stealing and halfway actually doing good things for society. Paying income taxes into the national debt and finding the military industrial complex is not that appetizing. That is just allowing for geopolitical she

This is a relative statement. I never wanted kids they are annoying and I’d probably end up a terrible parent and get divorced and then be paying child support. In fact this would have been what happened if I stayed with my last gf. Much b

Went in an all afternoon hike yesterday up to a mountain lake as soon as my afternoon meetings were done. Thought about the life universe and everything. It was great, going to do it more.

It would be possible to say that one was not hired about all groups, including White Christian men. This happens a lot but no one talks about it for some reason. E.g. we didn’t really feel that Mr. Ciswhitechristan was a great cultural fit

Being able to dual boot or virtualize Ubuntu and windows 10 on an M1 iPad Pro with 16gb of ram and a touchscreen would be great. Parallels already runs on m1 it wouldn’t be very hard to enable on m1 iPads. It is honestly a better form facto

Advocating for what things exactly? It might be a strawman, but I’m going to guess and it would be something like an end to perceived workplace raceism/sexism/*isms. If you let in political advocacy movements from the left do you

I wore a mask indoors. Then I got the vaccine. COVID is effectively over, unless we need booster shots this fall. But feel free to wear a mask as much as you want, at this point it is effectively a security blanket though.
