That's why I started with "if". It's not the case here in Chile.

Holy shit!!

I love you. <3

Orthodox economic thought suggests that in the labor market, whenever wages increase without anything changing in the underlying supply and demand, employment would fall... I don't know about you guys, but I've never been big on religion so I suggest taking that with a grain of salt.

Regardless of your conclusions and what you make of the orthodox argument, it is important to consider the total cost and aggregate risk of a company of hiring a woman vs a man or other genders. If, for example, regulation establishes that women have the right to a different amount of postnatal days off than men, that would be risks that companies would take into account at the moment of deciding who to hire.

It really does.

I agree. This is definitely an ideal context to talk about politics.

Did you know that the US government keeps and provides access to a database of dad jokes on fatherhood.gov, one joke at a time?

You could also snag this full dad jokes database from kaggle which contains over 13k dad jokes.

Hope you both enjoy!

Sorry to hear that. Hope you make the best of your time left.

Regarding your question, idk I'd send an email to everyone I care about. Possibly a diff one for friends and family.

Here's a jumping off point:

Subject: Well... I Guess I’ve Got Some News!

Body: Hi everyone, So, you know how life has these unexpected twists now and then? Well, I guess you could say I just ran through one of those and boy is it twisty! I didn’t exactly sign up for it, but here it is. Long story short, I’ve been diagnosed with stage 2 cancer. (As BenFranklinsDick suggested, use chatgpt to spitball ideas)

Best of luck, friend. And maybe keep in mind that just cause things end, it doesn't mean they lose their value or meaning. <3

The US has arguably been fascist since the 1940s.

Fascism always comes in the flavor of the country it installs itself in, because it always has some tie to "traditional values" and/or origin myths. And note that if your values have been about fair redistribution and equality and social justice for 50+ years, that's almost 2 generations, so also "traditional" and may also be used for the purity tests that become so frequent in fascist societies e.g. "Oh, you didn't go to the anti- protest? You just don't care about improving as a nation.". Then comes the very common "with us or against us" trope and of course, the most relevant element of them all, the enemy. Those who are not to be considered human and are stopping the country from reaching its full potential.

Right now for the US right that would be maybe illegal immigrants and maybe whatever ethnic/sexual/gender minorities and vulnerable populations there's a conservative moral panic about.

For the US left of today that would be white males, the rich, right wing extremists, and maybe people who support the nation of Israel.

Fascism is already in the US. It's just bipartisan.

If the money eventually hits your domestic bank account, you got an income you -should- be reporting. In the US "Depositing a big amount of cash that is $10,000 or more means your bank or credit union will report it to the federal government." (source)

Some people might open a Swiss bank account online, sell the crypto on some offshore exchange that does not report to the IRS, such as, oh, I don't know... and then withdraw to the Swiss account. The Exchange will, however ask you to verify your identity in order to withdraw money, which will leave a paper trail, but since we're talking offshore exchanges in Asia, it's unlikely that your transactions there will end up in the hands of the IRS.

Then you send yourself the money from the Swiss account to your US account in sums of less than $10.000

However, if you later buy anything expensive like a pricey car, real estate or a business and your reported income has no way of justifying an expense of this magnitude... you might run into an audit (or worse).

If you plan on moving large amounts of money, it gets a lot more complicated and you'll probably have to pay some kind of tax at some point, but say you start an LLC in Florida and another company in Switzerland, each with their own bank account in each respective country. You could transfer from your personal Swiss account to your business Swiss account, the Florida LLC could issue a large invoice to the Swiss company for "trustmebro consultancy services" and then the Swiss company could legitimately wire the cash to your Florida account with 0 state sales tax...

But then your LLC would show a profit and you'd have to pay federal income tax as a person over that profit... Unless the Swiss company in issued an invoice to your US company for "Fiat dry cleaning Services" which could be accounted for as a accounts payable vs expense and simply never get paid, thus cancelling the federal tax effect of the profit.

HOWEVER..... To do all this suddenly you need an accountant for both companies, you're committing tax fraud, accounting fraud and could possibly be charged with money laundering. And for what? To save 20% on an already astronomical amount?

Plus the IRS will DEFINITELY audit any company which only has transactions with only 1 company in any tax haven cause that's like the reddest of red flags in corporate tax "planning" (fraud).

And guess what? If your bank has some kind of anti money laundering algorithm and all those small less-than-$10k-transactions happened to get reported to -not the IRS- the FBI, because possibly funding/getting funded by terrorism.. guess who'd be in deep shit?

So i guess what I'm saying is PAY YOUR FUCKING TAXES, ASSHOLE.

Much love. <3
