Scifi/Fantasy Book Recs
I haven’t read the series in a while but remember liking them all even though Simmons sometimes tends to drag. However, the 3rd & 4th books are their own series and remember them only being vaguely related to the 1st & 2nd. If you like Dan Simmons, I’d also highly recommend Illium & Olympos.

It's time to monetize, the question is how?
FWIW - I wasn't able to use PayPal (with an account or CC) for a monthly subscription but it worked when I did the annual subscription.

Because he has created an overly, complicated story-line and he has absolutely zero clue on how to tie it all into the ending he wants.- Not paying Federal Income Taxes
I’ve heard of something similar with an employee who worked at a company before I did. My understanding is that he completely believed the IRS didn’t have the authority to collect taxes and even got the company to not withhold income taxes (how he managed that, I have no idea). Now this guy also owed the government millions of dollars due to the lucrative acquisition of a previous company but he still hadn’t paid any taxes. Eventually the g-men came & arrested him. He tried the same defense or similar your buddy is using and even said the court didn’t have the authority to try him. He was found guilty and when he was non-conciliatory with the federal judge, he was sentenced to 5 years in federal prison & his property was confiscated to pay the back taxes. My guess is that your buddy hasn’t warranted the full attention of the government because the amount he owes isn’t worth their time. Yet. Once he gains their attention, and eventually he will, they will come after him. It’s important to note that there is no statue of limitations on tax evasion - so even if he gets away with it for 30 years, they can eventually bust him for the entire period he wasn’t paying. Messing with the government’s cash flow is a fool’s errand and one day it will catch up to him.- Need an Image
