Remember, Trump's >$900million loss came from running a fucking casino. And this was in the go-go 90's when people were actually making and spending money.
You've got to be a special kind of businessman to lose almost a billion dollars running a casino.
The first sentence says "Donald J. Trump declared a $916 million loss on his 1995 income tax returns". But then later says "The documents were the first page of a New York State resident income tax return, the first page of a New Jersey nonresident tax return and the first page of a Connecticut nonresident tax return." No federal tax information.
Where do you think the numbers on your state return come from? Maybe you've never filed taxes, but state returns say things like, "Enter amount from your Federal form on line 9a".
State tax returns are based on Federal tax returns.
NO LAWS would be necessary if people knew how to behave and chose to behave. THIS PARTICULAR law is unnecessary primarily because it doesn't really accomplish anything.
You're right. But at some point, government that involves people can only be a blunt instrument. Is there a right to own drones? I don't know, and am not sure I care. Is there a right to a free Internet? I don't know, but it's not a free internet as long as hackers can run roughshod over individuals, companies and governments with impunity, because eventually you will be a target. .
At some point, you have to be able to trust somebody. Lawlessness almost always leads to tyranny, like in the Old West. When the weapon being used against you is a drone or a DDOS attack or a hacker cleaning you out, the Second Amendment ain't gonna fix it. It's just a way to try to dodge the hard work of being a citizen in a civil society. We don't want to deal with the hard work of self-governance, so we end up with knuckleheads and blunt instruments.
I think the real motivation is not to make it thinner, but to get an extra 5 minutes of battery life by using the extra 1/32 in saved for a marginally bigger battery.
Then why not make it 0.5mm thicker and accomplish the same thing?
I'm sitting here looking at my nice Nexus 5x phone, that has a perfectly good 3.5mm jack on it. If I lose my earbuds, I can walk into most any store and buy absolutely adequate replacements for $10 or less. The Nexus 5 is already so thin that it felt funny in my hand and I had to buy a case for it that makes it thicker.
You think USB-C headphones that "will feature special multi-function processing units (MPUs)" are ever going to be $10?
How is it that someone working in a sweatshop is exploiting them?
Let's ask the dictionary, shall we?
Exploitation: the action or fact of treating someone unfairly in order to benefit from their work. "the exploitation of migrant workers" synonyms: taking advantage, abuse, misuse, ill-treatment, unfair treatment, oppression "the exploitation of the poor"
Governmental scientific inquiry is a contradiction in terms.
Funny how most of the most egregious examples of biased science have come from corporate research. Even to the point where it has cost a lot of people their lives. But you already knew that and were just hoping your comment would slip under the radar.
The UN says they will launch a spacecraft in LEO in 2021. Musk says he will be launching 1,000 spacecrafts to Mars to colonize the planet. Total fucking lunacy. Is everyone disconnected from reality here?
Its great that you know the right way to do it and everyone else who wants to deviate is wrong.
"Knowing the right way to do it" is something beginners learn.
If you want numerical validation for your physical activity, then maybe cross-fit would be more appropriate than a serious discipline like jiu-jitsu. I guess it's just something you'd know if you'd ever seriously studied martial arts. It's qualitative, not quantitative.

Why didn't that happen when the top Federal rate was 90%?

YouTube has that effect on me too.

At about 3pm Eastern Time, I started watching episode 3 of Luke Cage. Finished that and then watched an episode from the new season of Longmire.
Didn't see any problem at all.
Man, you must never leave the house.
Laws like this wouldn't be necessary if people just knew how to fucking behave.
But what if I put a gun on my drone? Is it constitutionally protected then?
Î dön't knòw.

I can improve on it: "Anyone can grow up to be president, and you don't even have to grow up to do it."
Dogs will do that.

In before the first post saying that a DDOS attack is actually free speech.
Meanwhile, the orange tweaker-in-chief is up at 3am rage-posting about some chick that wouldn't sleep with him 15 years ago.

I think God's just fucking with us now.
OK, you got me.
Whenever the power goes out, I crawl into the bathtub with a fifth of bourbon and a bag of weed and see which one of us emerges victorious.

"the exploitation of migrant workers"
synonyms: taking advantage, abuse, misuse, ill-treatment, unfair treatment, oppression
"the exploitation of the poor"
And don't forget: Three of the four presidential candidates are anti-vaxxers.

In other space news, Elon Musk has announced that SpaceX will partner with Samsung to make its Mars spacecraft.
This election has everyone nervous.
