We almost certainly have US boots on the ground in the form of CIA operatives and special forces

I think you're missing his point. Imagine a video showing a white worker denying service to a black customer and saying it was because they were wearing a pro-Kamala shirt. Even if the employee was fired immediately, the store would likely end up vandalized and the employee would be receiving threats with their home address plastered all over social media for protestors to show up and harass them there.

The vast majority of business owners aren’t in business to promote their political views, and especially not to promote their $9 an hour employee’s views either. They’re in business to make money and cash spends all the same whether it came from liberal customers or conservative ones.

Again, jock tax doesn’t matter where you live.
Once he’s retired and getting paid massive amounts of deferred money, it does matter where he lives. California won’t be able to tax that money unless he’s still living in CA in retirement

If the dodgers are paying him and the Dodgers are in CA, whether or not he is living in CA he is being paid by a company in CA.
Same logic is applicable here. Shohei will be taxed on that deferred money based on where he’s a resident at for that year. Now if he moves back to Japan, I’m not sure if the US fed government will try to tax him…but a state can’t tax him if he did not live or work in the state that year. For his salary while he’s actually playing, he’ll get taxed in each state the team plays in that year and his state taxes are pro-rated by the number of games or days in the state throughout the year

re: Mississippi House Passes No Tax on NIL Money Bill
Posted by Tiger Prawn on 3/2/26 at 8:09 pm to RLDSC FAN
Does the language specify that its only applicable to NIL money for college athletes?
Otherwise, what’s stopping a company from saying they’re going to pay an employee minimum wage for their hours, but give them a few grand a month in tax-free “NIL” payments to appear in posts on the company’s social media marketing or something.

Lamar was also concerned about students receiving huge amounts of money at a very young age, he said, and incurring serious civil and criminal penalties, because they didn't understand how to handle their money.
re: Fortune: America is becoming the ‘uncool’ country that people want to move away from
Posted by Tiger Prawn on 3/2/26 at 3:57 pm to Kinderman
I don't think its America becoming "uncool" but more of the boom in remote work jobs in recent years has given people opportunities they never had before on where to live, especially younger workers who don't have kids and can relocate easily. They can move to exotic locations and a live a more comfortable lifestyle thanks to cheaper cost of living compared to being in the US. And then move somewhere new whenever you want a change of scenery. I think the younger generation uses the term "digital nomad".
I bet there's a lot of millennials and gen X on this board who would have jumped at the chance if remote work was a thing when we were in our 20's and early 30's. Live like a king in another country on a salary that you'd be living paycheck to paycheck on in the US.
Literally almost everywhere else in the US other than New York City can provide a "more ordinary" life for celebrities who want to avoid the spotlight and paparazzi.

Iran fricked around via their proxies one too many times. They finally found out.

The ships are free to sail through without insurance if the shipping company wants to take that risk.
The insurance companies are jacking their premiums up because there’s a significantly higher risk than normal. Insurance company is just reacting to the situation at hand

re: Auto Insurance Question

quote:If the son owns his vehicle in his name, he can have his own separate policy. But if he still lives at home, then he’s still going to be required to be listed on his parent’s policy as either a rated or excluded driver. Applies vice versa to his parents needing to be listed on his policy also. All drivers residing in the household would need to be listed on each other’s policies, along with anyone else who may drive the vehicle regularly.
Don’t think you can separate the liability if your son is considered part of your household ( living at home or a student away at college).

quote:I would say it depends on the carrier and you should confirm with your agent and get something in writing (email). But I know of several carriers who will allow you to insure another vehicle that’s titled to a different member of your household. They have a way to list the registered owner’s name for that vehicle when its different than the named insured (policy holder), though I think that’s mostly to help ensure accuracy with DMV reporting to avoid an erroneous no-insurance flag from the DMV.
As in if it will actually count if the policy and the title are in different names.

quote:He’s not pausing his eligibility. NCAA gives athletes a 5 year window that begins when they first enroll as a full time student, with one redshirt season. He competed in the NCAA in 2024, so missing last year would basically be treated like his redshirt year.
If this holds, it would seem that athletes are capable of "pausing" their eligibility, going to the pros, then coming back to the NCAA to complete their eligibility.
re: Pakistan and Afghanistan are officially at war....
Posted by Tiger Prawn on 2/26/26 at 4:55 pm to RollTide1987
What's going on between those two?
I thought Pakistan was sympathetic to the Taliban, especially since the Taliban and Al-Qaeda were all hiding out in Pakistan for 20 years until US forces withdrew from Afghanistan.
