They don’t do that now. The IRS contacts the bank, that’s licensed as a bank by the federal government, and tells them to close your account. Usually the first step is to freeze your assets, then they start taking things. The banks aren’t going to argue, they’re not going to give up their entire business just to protect you, or a single state. Even if it is California.
It would be considered tax evasion. Deductions not authorized by federal statute, have no affect on federal tax laws. Start following your own rules, and they will come knocking on your door. Of course with staffing cuts, it could be years from now when they show up.
The irs wouldn’t recognize the deduction and you would still owe the entire amount to the federal government.
That’s the problem California doesn’t send taxes to the Federal government. People and businesses pay directly to the government. There’s no mechanism to even stop it on a state level if a governor wanted to.
Something else, very similar motif. It’s a sci-fi pulp novel.
I think the story neuromancer had workers who would show up have their brain chip turn them into meat puppets for 8 hours then they would wake up not knowing what they had done to earn their checks. It was a cheap labor scheme for day workers or prostitutes. I still think that’s really the capitalist goal.
Harvard will have to find a pool of sympathetic lawyers to press their case in the courts. Wherever can the most prestigious college in the legal world for the past century, find a lawyer? And it’ll have to be affordable, they only have $53 billion to work with.
Harvard doesn’t need outside income to cover operations of the school. Not even tuition. The government contracts cover expanded research and programs. The schools endowment grows enough to cover all their base costs and still grow annually.
Pretty sure that’s the Boeing 777 and they discovered that after a crash off Brazil.
I use autopilot all the time on my boat. No way in hell I’d trust it in a car. They all occasionally get suicidal. Mine likes to lull you into a sense of false security, then take a sharp turn into a channel marker or cargo ship at the last second.
Fortunately when Trump isn’t lying, he’s always wrong.
Chat bots posing as like minded people opposing the regime is what happens next. The old FBI terrorist entrapment scheme is going AI and domestic.
This just screams ‘I’m sorry mister Tyson, I didn’t mean to punch YOU in the face.’
They already are, prison labor expansion would be at the expense of existing companies.
They may be trying to move away from China, but they’re going to be moving back fast with these tariffs in place. Everyone loses in a trade war, but China is very much going to be the winner. No matter what happens after today, the US has lost it’s bargaining position and value as a trading partner and ally.
Putin has won his war against the US, it’s just a matter of how we fall at this point.
Not that I’m disagreeing, but I also know where that ends. I should say, the range of endings. Aside from probably neither of us living long enough to see where it ends, the range of endings are almost universally bad for humanity in general, and the US in particular.
The concern for me is that we’re going to stop having protests, and start having explosions of government buildings to send a message.
I’m not as worried about the violence against judges, which is a horrific development. I’m more worried about the violence that happens when people realize their political views can bring violence against them because of what’s being done to judges.
That’s going to be the end of peaceful protest, and the start of a LOT of political violence.
Are over 80% of them going in to ASRock boards in the first place?
I was misunderstanding a bit myself. I was thinking you meant by yourself. As a state, California could possibly increase property taxes to maximize everyone’s salt deduction. As more of a long term solution it might even be an idea depending on California constitutional law. More likely though, they would just have to fight the illegal impoundment in the court. While it would likely take months to get done, changing tax law the the affects of that would take years.
