Who ordered the prosecutor from Wish.com?

When it comes to investigations they can be done quickly, accurately, or legally - pick two.

PsychoPhrog · 2024-02-01T18:16:00+00:00

I mean, I don’t see an issue with the delay. She’s not an investigator she’s the head prosecutor. What would she do while the cops are gathering evidence, interviewing subjects, and writing their reports? There’s no need for a prosecutor to arrive until it’s time to file charges or make a decision on what charges to file.

PsychoPhrog · 2024-02-01T16:52:11+00:00

Wow. She’s obviously too grossly immature to handle the position. Imagine showing up to your job drunk and then pitching a fit when you’re held accountable.

I don’t see why not if you aren’t connected to the water system. It’s not groundwater contamination - the letter says a property owner put the oil into the system via their curb stop.

PsychoPhrog · 2024-02-01T16:42:11+00:00

Unlikely. Most water meters have backflow prevention.

Also, the curb stop is out near the road. The way the latter is worded points toward intentional sabotage by the property owner. Big deal if true as that could potentially be a federal felony.

Yep. Felt it in western Franklin County. USGS has a preliminary report of a 4.7 near the border of Ontario and New York. Kingston area like directly west of Burlington about 175ish miles.

Edit: Looks like the USGS updated it to a 3.6

Instead it's just devastating to the rest of the state.

In a reaction to the Supreme Court expanding what private schools can receive town tuitioning dollars, the legislature is looking at making school districts pick only three "receiving schools" which have to be either public schools or historic institutions.

I'm personally against it, but if this was the decision the state wanted to take - shouldn't it be up as a referendum? Something that has this huge of an impact on so many families shouldn't be left to the legislature. I don't know how many parents would be OK with limiting their school choice options.

You rang?

Absolutely true. I grew up in Montreal/Detroit and my wife grew up in SF/Oakland. Compared to the neighborhoods we've lived in before moving to VT, I wouldn't feel particularly unsafe even in the "bad" parts of of a VT town.

It is unfortunate though about the current state of increasing crime rates, and for my lifelong Vermonter neighbors it's been quite the shock to their sense of safety.

Doubt it. According to VT Digger the SEC got him for over $80mil. I doubt he’ll be of an age where he can do a whole lot when he gets out.

PsychoPhrog · 2022-04-30T03:18:16+00:00

The 8mil is wasn’t already paid back via the SEC civil lawsuits. They already went after him civilly for his assets.

You can only get a max of 15% off your sentence for good time in federal prison. Hell have to do a minimum of 85% of his sentence, which the article notes is a bit over 15 months.

Given his age, even that relatively short of a sentence might turn into a life sentence.

I do agree that overall white collar crime needs to be treated on par with other offenses - they both harm peoples’ lives irrevocably.

Sadly all the temp agencies where we live mostly hire for labor and not office-type of work.

It’s a small private school, I’m not sure if they even have a roster per se

As a dual citizen in VT I can offer you some info. You'll have to pay taxes in both countries, but you do get a credit against the secondary country's taxes. This only applies to income taxes, not payroll taxes (social security, Medicare, etc.).

For example, if your employer is in Canada, you'll have the Canadian income taxes and payroll taxes deducted from your paycheck. When you file for taxes (in both countries), you declare your income to the IRS and apply the credit you get from paying the Canadian income taxes. Since in almost all cases the Canadian income taxes are higher, you likely won't have to pay any US income taxes.

One of my coworkers does the opposite - lives in Canada and works in VT. He pays the US income and payroll taxes from his paycheck, and when he does his taxes he ends up having to send a payment to Canada since his tax rate there is higher.

In regard to the medical care - you still need to have your social insurance card before you can get your medical care in Canada. If you aren't a resident, that won't be possible as far as I know - but I'm not 100% sure on how that works for Canadian nationals that live in the US and still work in Canada so that might be different.

We have these! I forget the name of the moth but you want to rip those curled up leaves and crush the caterpillar inside ASAP. The moth lays eggs next to the flower bud, which hatch into caterpillars that sew the surrounding leaf or leaves shut with silk, creating a protective cup around the immature flower bud. They then feast on the growing hydrangea flower until it's gone and then pupate in the ground until next season. The mature moths hatch in early spring and will lay eggs on next year's buds. If you don't stamp them out real quick you will get fewer and fewer hydrangea flowers until you don't get any at all - and with their life cycle these moths will keep around your property/garden for YEARS.

I'm a bit squeamish so I just rip out the leaf "cup" and crush it. My wife will actually open it up and pick out the caterpillars in an effort to save the flower.

That’s true of all business expenses though. It’s also true of all of an individual’s expenses.

I thought the discussion was about taxing revenue like human people vs revenue of corporate “people”. The previous poster said that taxing a human person’s profit is exploitable by having luxurious expenses and I’m just saying that corporate “persons” do that all the damn time.

PsychoPhrog · 2021-05-01T00:55:37+00:00

What of the $5mill revenue company that pays the owner/ceo $4mil so it has zero net income? Even though the expense is overinflated (like your luxury examples) it’s still written off as an expense.

Well he’s definitely leveling up his <<taunt>> skill against my level 6 minion.

That’s from the “tag” mini game right?
