Money launderning is making it look like the taxes have been paid.

After you pay your W2 income taxes for the year, your income for the year is no longer taxable.

edit: I guess I can't argue with the holy writ of wikipedia, but it's how they got Al Capone.

BMc2020 — Sun, 06 Jul 2025 18:15:13 +0000

Cool people are perceived to be more extraverted, hedonistic, powerful, adventurous, open, and autonomous, whereas good people are more conforming, traditional, secure, warm, agreeable, universalistic, conscientious, and calm. This pattern is stable across countries, which suggests that the meaning of cool has crystallized on a similar set of values and traits around the globe. We build on the results to advance a theory of the role that coolness plays in establishing social hierarchies and changing social and cultural practices and norms.

Sorry, a single author paper means you could not find even one co-author to agree with you. That's why they tend to get ignored.

The Liver King spent $11,000 a month on them. Too much for me.

But where do we go from here? Unlike the British parliamentary system, the U.S. has no break-the-glass off switch that lets us get rid of a deeply unpopular and delusional leader. Impeachment won’t happen, because this isn’t the Nixon era: Trump’s party is too corrupt to help save the country.

So we must begin to ask ourselves: in the 1364 days left of the Trump administration, how much damage can he do? And what can those of us who want to save the country do to minimize the damage?

Over the last decade, he says, tooth decay in children he’s seen has become more common, more aggressive and more severe. Many of his young patients have so much damage that he has to work with them under general anesthesia.
