Don't pay your tax then the government will not allow you to run your vehicle. It's already happening with off road equipment where if you are late on payment the company can remotely disable your machine from running. The government is just taking it the next step. So wait a minute. You don't make your payment the company disables your vehicle. "HA! That'll show them not to pay their bills!!" The world is being run by children. I long for the good ole repo man days. Edited March 26, 2021 by Chef Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's far more extensive with things such as bulldozers, excavators, and loaders. Also, farm equipment but current edition products that have computer control over engine function that in turn can be disabled remotely. You can run your old tech equipment without this issue for now. But I would imagine that the government will force computers to track emissions on old tech for at the least to collect taxes. It's been talked about for a while now. Just been waiting on a left leaning administration like we have at present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over 29 years of fanhood Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 2 hours ago, Tenhigh said: It lowered the US corporate tax rate to dis-incent tax inversion, which is when you move your headquarters or ops offshore to effectively arbitrage the tax rates. If it costs $100 to be domiciled in the US, and $50 to be domiciled in Ireland, business will move to Ireland. I have a good friend who was losing sleep over the new Trump code because he was reckoning with a decision to repatriate or not with that one time amnesty provision. His conclusion, based on his financial advisor was, if power swings back to democrats he’d want to offshore again because of their anti business agenda, so play the long game. this is a fine example of hidden lost corporate tax revenue because of unfriendly business policy.

The Straight Story is different from Lynch's other works by a considerable margin. It is about two older brothers that have a standing feud between them. Then the one brother who is starting to see his mortality goes to seek the other brother out to make amends. I won't give out any more spoilers about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Obama inherited Bushes mess. Trump inherited Obamas great economy and Biden created his own jobs growth. Did I get that right? You guys are ***** hilarious. Now, you can redeem yourself if you can answer one simple questions. What has Biden done specifically in the first two months of his administration that created these new jobs?

Tiberius Posted April 2, 2021 Author Share Posted April 2, 2021 Biden made it clear that his covid relief bill was going to be big, that instilled confidence in the economy.

Given Biden all the credit for these jobs is very partisan. But anyway if you do give him credit for it I assume you did, or will give Trump credit for all the jobs he created pre-pandemic?
