Musk avoided capital gains tax on the value of his shares. Plus (due to this loophole) he deducted the FULL value against other income. Plus (due to being a cheat) he then used the tax-free money for his personal benefit.
So once again taxpayers subsidize him to the tune of billions. https://masto.ai/@Nonilex/112…

Very soon, a federal judge in Washington, D.C., is expected to issue a ruling that could expose key pieces of discovery that some lawyers say prove Donald Trump acted in his “private” capacity on Jan. 6, 2021
— not in his official role
— when whipping up a mob of his supporters at the Ellipse and urging them to descend on the Capitol where lawmakers were meeting to certify the 2020 election.

Le revenu après impôt total au Québec s’élevait Š 279,38 milliards de dollars en 2020 et Š 292,67 milliards en 2021. Pourtant, il manquait 2,56 milliards de dollars en 2020, et 2,66 milliards en 2021, dans les revenus des ménages les plus pauvres pour que l’ensemble de la population couvre ses besoins selon la MPC, soit 1% du revenu total après impôt. Or, le décile le plus riche a empoché 4,15 milliards de plus après impôt en 2020!!! Cherchez l’erreur!

Neurodiversity, scotpol
The Scottish Government has spent about two years consulting on how to consult about the Learning Disabilities, Autism and Neurodivergence Bill the SNP said they'd introduce in their 2021 manifesto.
So HOW have they managed to come back with a consultation featuring a 190-page full consultation document, with a 35-page "short guide" - that's 35 pages of A4, mind?
Where the education section alone is roughly a half-hour read?
Where they felt the need to include a request to "Please USE THIS GUIDE - _here_ - on How to complete your online response"... and then forgot to actually link to the guide?
Where the page on completing a written out recorded response instructs people to "please complete the Respondent Information Form and send with your completed questionnaire" but links to neither of those documents?
...anyway, so I'll be live on the SEMA YouTube tomorrow at 12:30 trying to be as constructive and helpful as possible about all this.
