  1. Smokey and the Bandit 4, in which Bandit’s college roommate and Snowman’s 3rd cousin backhaul cajun beer across the Sabine, West bound and down, imo.
  2. Your hypothetical includes pissing off 40-83% of the market you’re trying to invest in. And/or giving some handful of bureaucrats power over 40-83%. Look at the power of democracy holding all the bad parties responsible. https://ig.ft.com/jailed-bankers/ Useless BT hypothetical is useless. This shit ain’t never going to happen.
  3. Have to screencap that for most of us. Their leading “recruiting journalist” has a private Twitter.
  4. I wonder how much it’d end up the benefit of the Walton’s, Disney’s, Nike, InBev, PepsiCo, etc when that Earthican Tricky Dick $300 Fun Bill drops annually/quarterly.
  5. Ummmm Paul Allen’s Vulcan Inc wasn’t to hide his assets. It was to spend down his assets, as he never married and has no children. He’s given multiple $100MMs to philanthropic causes; arts, lower income housing projects, education, hospitals, museums, fighting Zika and Ebola, etc, etc. He hired successful people and they’ll most likely continue to contribute millions and millions to good causes AND the tax base long after we’re dead. Vulcan employees hundreds.
  6. I’m going to agree with American Swindle on this one. If John McAfee half-ass tried to become a non-resident and live off US capital gains as a multimillionaire, I can only imagine what the American billionaires and their families would do. Walton, Koch, Mars, Johnson, Hunt they all have multiple billionaires in their families. Why would they remain citizens in a free market with your policies? They could buy an island leave their money in the market and be BETTER tax advantaged. Sure, they could never stay more than 100 something days every 3 years, but it’s a big world out there for an unemployed billionaire. Paul Allen was actively trying to reduce his networth his last few years and as he spun off LLCs and S-corps pet projects he became wealthier. Imagine what Bezos and the Ex could do with 10x the Bs? There’s also the confiscate it all group, but the math generally shows to not work. If Bezos tried to buy the American public he could drop $10B in a conservative fund. @ 3% that’s $300MM, so $1/person per year. That’s not much loyalty.
  7. A young man in the audience, blows everyone away as he reasons out the existence of good and God. That student’s name - Halbert Heinstein, which would go on to create great confusion.
  8. If Peter’s mcCannd is hurt. Hopefully, McCann’s peter stays healthy.
  9. Yep, has to be a fairly high hit rate. Per Gecko’s story: I have some friends that live near Rice Village in Houston. Always been sensible with cars, he drives an Altima she drives an Explorer. They keep the auto door locks on all the time as they said it’s pretty much every weekend that someone drunk or careless approaches them randomly with a few attempting to open the back door.
  10. Legend of Cocaine Island is great story telling. Glad I saw it in this format rather than some 42 min drug/true crime show on A&E or Discovery. Props to the editors and directors for identifying the story, but letting the characters lead the narrative. Really enjoyed it. Curious if “the Cuban” was real guy or someone acting out his interview from notes. IMDB doesn’t list him as one of 14 credited cast.
  11. No, no, this wasn't moving on. I got the hook. I wish I could get a lesson in that.
  12. Fucking cardiac cats of baseball.
  13. DDA needs a good I-talian cheer
