80 years ago today my grandfather began in Normandy what would end, for him, in Nagasaki. A long, long year and a half.
He lived until 1981 but the last pages of his book were written over that span, he just didn't know it yet. He'd be consumed by what he saw as a medic and never recover.
I can't say for certain, but I'd have to imagine he would be disheartened to hear we're still dealing with Nazis.
This week's column is a bit niche, but in it I argue against a proposed bill in NY that would make presence of a sales suppression device a felony punishable by up to 7 years in prison.
The reality is these sales tax audits often have a racial component, and such a law will merely serve to incarcerate minority business owners left holding the bag -- leaving the makers and marketers of the tools to continue unabated well outside the state's reach.
Over the last few years the practice portion of my #legal work has slowly transitioned to consulting for other attorneys on #tax or #tech matters and let me tell you, for all the stick our profession gets we don’t make terrible clients.*
