Since billionaire Jeff Yass is in the news for his involvement in #TikTok and #Trump's #TruthSocial, here's our deep-dive look into the #GOP megadonor who avoided $1 billion in #taxes and poured that money into campaigns to cut taxes and support #election deniers.
There’s speculation that the appellate court is signaling that they may reduce the disgorgement amount. Which they should not. #Trump has been benefiting from this #fraud for decades & not paying the correct amount in taxes for both #NY state & federal #taxes by lying about the values of his assets.
I’m convinced that people don’t dislike AI so much as they dislike AI + The Cloud.
Gamers have been running what is now known as “AI” on their local PCs for a long, long time. It’s partially why Nvidia has become the number one manufacturer for AI cards. Nobody batted an eye until The Cloud became the go-to manner for accessing LLMs and image generation.
And to be honest, The Cloud sucks for AI. It’s a lot of work for terrible results—often censored to fulfil corporate goals as well.
In fact, I’m convinced that all this fear-mongering over AI is an attempt to make it illegal for us to run it on our desktops.
Why, if we did that, civilization would end! It’s better to give Open AI your money so that no one haphazardly triggers the apocalypse.
By any chance does any other Canadian people working from home can share example of how they had the T2200 form filled in for tax year 2023?
My previous employer (ahem GOOG cough cough) said I should fill it in myself first, and then ask my previous manager to review and verify. Only then they will put in the final signature on the form 😵💫
Wow, the processing of tax returns in Norway is getting really fast. I submitted my tax form on Friday, and got my refund in my bank account this morning. I even made changes for work-related travel reimbursements.

If your job requires a college

write-off your student loan
payments as a business

Fun fact is, in more social-democratic countries like #Germany, yes, you can, courtesy of the Federal Finance Court (#BFH.)
This week’s topic in How to do your Canadian taxes is about multiple payee’s (or employers)..
If you are receiving multiple sources of income, your primary source of income should typically be the only one accounting for your personal amount deductions. Make sure secondary payee’s, (ex: CPP, OAS, or 2nd employment) are not also claiming these amounts for you through payroll or it’ll increase your tax owing at the end of the year.
#POTUS Biden on Mon called for major new spending initiatives to lower costs for #healthcare, #ChildCare & #housing & enough new taxes on the wealthy & major corporations to pay for those proposals & also shave $3 trillion off the #NationalDebt over the next decade.
After making billions in #TaxDeductible donations to his philanthropy, the owner of #Tesla & SpaceX gave away far less than required in some yrs— & what he did give often supported his #SelfInterests.
Before Mar 2021, #ElonMusk’s charitable foundation never announced any donations to CameronCounty, an impoverished region at the southern tip of TX that is home to his #SpaceX launch site & local ofcls who help regulate it.
“Kindness & eagerness to learn (& parents that worked at #SpaceX) were the only criteria for admission,” wrote Joshua Dahn, the initial head of the school.
#AdAstra later moved to SpaceX’s Hawthorne, CA, headquarters & grew to >50 students. About ½ were related to SpaceX employees, Dahn said in an email. Dahn’s contract even said that the #IntellectualProperty he developed at the school would be ½ owned by #ElonMusk personally….
#Billionaires Hate This One Weird Trick: Taxing Them
Sure, #WealthTaxes are not a panacea for the ruinous problems caused by capitalism, but the fact that the rich hate them is a good reason to pursue them further
