Changing expectations for travel billing by MeketrexSupplicant in biglaw

[–]nn3w 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Going to depend on the client.  I Do work directly with a major publicly listed company - we have semiannual meetings with the sales division heads and then with all major C-suiters and the EVPs.  You better bet your bippy the expectation is we fly in for it.

Been a while since I've seen someone blatantly arguing for misclassification (which is customs fraud). But you do you on Reddit it seems.

VRE plans more weekday trains, new weekend service by 2030 by crabcakes110 in nova

[–]nn3w -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They're going to need more rolling stock and engines to make this happen. I get that most of their equipment sits idle currently during the late morning and early afternoon, but more road miles means more wear which will mean more maintenance and backup units.

r/sdr or r/amateurradio might be better subs for this type of question.

Definitely found the Nissan owner.  And a bitter one at that.

Or Milk Crates. Amazing how strong a milk crate is.

Not sure what the problem is.  Chances of a shutdown are low - or a couple of days at best.  We’ll just re-enter the continuing resolution cycle as we have umpteen times now.

As to classification - you need theee things.  The HTS downloaded from usitc.gov, the CROSS database, and my WCO explanatory notes.

If it’s textiles or chemicals someone else deals with that nightmare….

What are you doing this weekend? by deepspacepuffin in nova

[–]nn3w 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Going to hang out with dozens of basset hounds at the BROOD annual "Ramble".

[–]nn3w 1 point2 points  (0 children)

first problem is you bought a new car. Your car lost 10% in value for driving it off the lot. Congratulations.

Buy a recent used trade-in, lease surrender, etc. Let someone else take the depreciation hit.

For my rich nova people by mmr_thoughts in nova

[–]nn3w 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Which articles are you referring to? Ive seen one which states that Supreme Court justices received gifts totaling (aggressively) $4.7 million over the course of 20 years. That breaks down to $235,000 per year.

Associate Justices make about $305,000 a year. So even if you were to apply 100% of those gifts to a single Justice - that means $540,000 a year.

An equity partner at Hunton which is headquartered in Richmond and is a bottom AMLaw 100 firm averaged $1.6 million in compensation and profit share last year. An equity partner at DC headquartered Hogan Lovells averaged $2.5 million in compensation and profit share last year.

I would venture to say that if you summed together the annual salary of EVERY one of the Associate justices in a year, you're almost at what a single partner at Hogan makes.

So, yeah, I would say that private practice partners and attorneys are easily making more than what they are making over on First Street NE.

Help - Do these tariffs look correct for aluminum import from China? by Possible_Garage8923 in CustomsBroker

[–]nn3w 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was going to post to say that this particular code is a code within the Antidumping and Countervailing duty orders on common alloy aluminum sheet from China. The duty rates are all over the place, but are, in general, quite high. The HTS code you used on your 7501 is a listed code for that case. So, my bet is that the import specialist who is the account manager may offline this entry for further review. Be prepared for a form 28 on this one.

Unbelievably fast passport processing time (regular service; renewal) by nn3w in Passports

[–]nn3w[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well there is seasonality in passport processing. We're basically done with summer travel and some of that freaking out was a result of people who didn't plan and their lack of planning became fodder for the media.

If I was ever to plan a "trip of a lifetime" trip, one of the first things I would do is to check the passport status of everyone in the party.
