We wish they were that cool, the inventors of the modern mile were more concerned about land measurements. A square mile is 640 acres. Which neatly can be cut into quarters 3 times. 160, 40, 10.

No, they just want someone who will appeal to the common person as maybe caring.

I said it during his initial campaign run. A "business man" as leader of the country isn't a horrible thing. Trump and many others are horrible picks for that role though. People will reject that because government isn't supposed to be for profit but it really is. As taxpayers we just need to rethink what "profit" looks like to us. Universal healthcare, UBI, proper investment in the country, proper ma/pa ternity leave can easily be taxpayer funded and on and on. A good leader will stifle borrowing by the US and make some headway towards our enormous debt while still finding something that works for us as voters.

Pay your taxes on it and no problem.

That is not true. If it's pre 1898 it's antique, beyond that it is classified as a destructive device and has a whole bunch of red tape. Anytime you see words $200 tax stamp it isn't easy to get.

And even a pre 1898 cannon is going to cost you $8k+ for a rusted out POS that will explode if you try to actually fire it.

Work with commercial sized inkjet printers. They are all scams even at that level.

It a little hard to blame them since they were sold the end of pensions and rise of the 401k. Which the bottom 60% of the country has close to zero of and then they can't make a living wage because the shareholders demand a greater return every year.

No. That isn't how it works either. Well they might use that to meet the pr pledge but that isn't the same as taking the deduction.

As I told the other person if you actual have any proof to back that up report it to the IRS and collect your bounty.

Why don't you show me any proof otherwise if you know so much.

In fact if you have any proof otherwise why don't you send it to the IRS they pay actual bounties on actionable tips on tax evasion.

The company doesn't get to tax write off other peoples donations.

You can monitor your site traffic during the ad campaign and see if it goes up by a reasonable rate per impression though?

Sure I suppose they could lie and you happen to have such a well crafted ad that it has a super high click rate and you are getting scammed but I think that is highly unlikely. Especially depending on your target it would be easy to check.

Because you have your own logs to compare if traffic increases or not?
