Simply put, the less government has to do with ANY aspect of your business, the better off you are. Reasons will become apparent with a beer and some quiet thought.
While the thought of loans from corrupt sources comes to mind as a catalyst, I believe there are other reasons. (this is Vegas, and while Corporations are now the Casino hoods instead of Cosa Nostra, hoods will still make you short-term, high interest loans featuring successful collection agents)
Business IS business. These people were living their dream, too close to the bone. 1. Never Marry Your Business. That's like marrying your hammer or pocketknife, it is a tool. If it doesn't work , replace it. You are not there to serve it as a marriage partner. It will never fullfill this role and you will waste your life trying. If you spend your life trying and failing, you aren't interested in what you are doing. If you learn from your mistakes and others mistakes, you can't help but climb.Your business that you love is still a soul sucking vampire that will drain you and leave your husk to rot in a ditch. Avoid giving it priority above family, health and other dreams you have. Sacrifice is for chumps. 2. Build your BIG business from smaller businesses and investments. This gives you throwaways to practice your chops with and if they fail, you have learned with one of many baskets of eggs, not the whole hen house. Keep yourself the main investor in the Big One, sell off other ventures as your time and profits demand. 3. Avoid investors in the BIG one, unless you want to retire. Even then, keep a vast majority of it unless the rat race appeals to you less than that island you've been eyeing. 4. Short of transgressing ethics, take every positive break you can, incorporate with the government as little as possible and be honest in your dealings. You are only as good as your word. Even accomplishment is second to this. 5.Go with your intuition every chance you get.
Part of the answer is; investors like the Koch bros. are so old fashioned and bull headed and OLD that they aren't going to consider any strategy that takes any timeframe that may be longer than their ever shortening lifespan. I kinda hope they die painfully of STDs soon, if nothing else, for the chaos caused by the continuous overbilling and eventual rebates their utilities use in order to pirate my money long enough to invest it for interest and other returns, while I struggle to make domestic payments. (insert other intricate and detailed ramblings here).
Kind of like that silly do-nothing site petition.org , they only want your opinion so they can do demographics for the next elections. It doesn't really mean that your opinion will guide any future policies. This is the Repubmocrat party, they are here to govern us, we are here to enrich their wealth and power. Further, we best not speak too loudly about things that might upset corporate commerce, which is the backbone of political wealth. Remember who is the master and who is the peon. They will ALWAYS do whatever they want and you are free to have your opinion as long as it doesn't make any waves or affect any situations. Still convinced there are separate Republican and Democrat parties that you just MUST vote for in order to keep economic stability? Take a look, the economy hasn't been stable in anyones lifetime, so what faerie tale are you really voting for? Your vote means no more than your opinion on Net Neutering if you keep voting for the official party. Vote for anyone NOT in the Repubmocrat party and at least send a message.
Well, let's hear it for good ol' fashioned Anarchy. Did he mean anarchy, as in the anarchy England descended into briefly in the 1800s, or Kropotkins Anarchy, or will it cause teens to become disaffected and wear black t-shirts with the @ and listen to "Bella Lugosi's Dead" over and over? Perhaps the internet will only descend into Feudalism. Stupid bastards! This is where your taxes go. Perhaps a revolution, followed by anarchy is getting to be more and more attractive...
That , and saying something as stupid as "marketing something expressly to allow people to place themselves beyond the law." should be a crime. Perhaps as an FBI bigwig, the stupid bastard should familiarize himself with "the law", it may come in handy, you know, for enforcement sometime. It IS true, law enforcement agencies will REJECT you for having a high I.Q. They , of course, have in mind, that smart people think for themselves and make judgement calls,that is a NO-NO. The FBI and other law enforcement have ALWAYS used drones... THIS, is a good reason to revisit that policy and exchange the retards for some THINKERS.

Well, without much thought, the taped up message could blow away, be stolen, fall to the ground, be eaten by dogs, mistaken for spam and discarded. You cannot prove reception without a reliable witness , a court official. No guarantee there. You cannot make someone be home for registered mail, you can't even prove they received a notice in the mail or that they even READ their mail. The judge is pissing in the wind and any charges can be easily overturned when his idea fails as it will. You either receive a subpoena or you don't. Servers are often cops, off duty cops, private detectives or even just people who do this for a living and are exceptionally good at locating their prey. It tends to be commission work, either they serve and get paid or they don't.
Doesn't happen here. You either get a subpoena or you don't. The weight lies on the court to personally serve a subpoena. Anything else falls short of a guarantee of reception. Try again. I could give a shit what happens in the wastelands of New York.
The ad in the paper is fine for "Public Notice" of upcoming court cases, delinquent taxes, court actions, and still has to be run multiple times. Subpoena hasn't been in the papers for the half century that I've been alive.
Sort of like the press, who just wrote "sprinted across the North Lawn toward the residence". It's fairly common knowledge the President and family don't actually live in the White House. There is an elaborate labyrinth of tunnels beneath it, leading to many points unknown. Except, I recall G.Gordon Liddy speaking of Nixon riding a golf cart back to the Watergate Hotel at the end of the day. I expect his quarters there were lavish, subterranean, secure and well kept. I understand that Congress and the Senate also have secure basement quarters in the case of emergency. The Secret Service are just as corrupt and fallible as any other modern enforcement agency. Why single THEM out? It's also no secret that the People know what fuck-ups they are being governed by. The majority just feel safer with their heads protected by their colons.
Not at all. In my experience, creditors and scoundrels send certified mail. If I do not receive an unsolicited document, perhaps they should have an officer of the court contact me. The Peoples Court had very little to do with any actual statutes and more to do with ratings boosted via a laymans sense of right and wrong. They can be incredulous in one hand and shit in the other, then it would benefit them to note which hand holds more.
" but if the Chinese government wanted to "close the loophole" investors could be out $20B+ in a day."
Hardly a sound thing to do if one wanted such a huge business in their economy to thrive. This scenario is akin to a runner shooting himself in the foot before a race. The $20B+ wouldn't matter as much to them as the bad press would end the confidence in a business that currently enjoys the position of being a source for industry worldwide. Imagine, U.S.Steel absconding with their investments or ANY of the large companies on our markets, with the blessing of our government. Where would that company be tomorrow? Not selling steel, that's for damn sure. That would be the job of a trusted competitor. Conceptual thinking, like environmental modeling, is usually the victim of having included far too little criteria to land an answer anywhere near accuracy.
I interpret the question to have an answer as follows; Owning a share of Alibaba is a sound investment that will produce good returns for both company and investor, but, owning a share of Apple is aiding and abetting an enemy of the people, rational thought and good computing. I wonder that he could not have come up with a better example than Apple, except that his conscience was pricking him that something with this concept was horribly wrong.
If a lawyer or officer of the court hands you a subpoena, it is good enough for any court. Whether you read it or not, you had better be in court on the proscribed date and time, upon receiving the document. F.B. is not an officer of the court and cannot guarantee your reception, visually of ANY post. Judge is several cards short of a full deck. As life goes, that, as they say, is par for the course.
There's no proof that they were communicated with by merely posting to f.b. You might as well just tape a subpoena to their door. It is no different. Some people pay no attention to their facebook account for days, weeks , months. There IS NO PROOF, that IS the point. The post drifts off down the column never to be seen by the account owner. Judge bases decision on some silly model of the internet that depends on pipes and tubes or magic faeries. Typical...hmph.
Certified mail is acceptable notice for just about everything except serving subpoenas. It still requires an officer of the court in the U.S. Take into account that the judge is a fucking moron, like so many others of his kind. In the chain of law enforcement, there tends to be a brotherhood philosophy of "you wash my back, I'll wash yours" and " don't screw with anyone who has a lot of years on the job", standing between the people and their constitutional rights, anyway. If you ever step into a courtroom, never EVER expect justice and right to prevail. That stuff is only in the movies. Expect law enforcement TO SERVE themselves AND PROTECT each other.

I would have liked to have said " Only in Australia", but sadly, the rest of the world is made up of blithering idiots, as well.
And then again, it may explain why my phone connections suck for the last couple days after my update.
