#DHS officials have defended the data-sharing agreement as necessary to crack down on illegal #immigration. [but you can’t break a law because you think another law was broken.]

Hey @EUCommission, you want to incentivise small sustainable online organisations in the EU (e.g., small not-for-profits like Small Technology Foundation) as an alternative to Big Tech?

Raise the EU's €10,000 cross-border OSS threshold to €1M (or even €10M).

You’ll still stop Big Tech corporations from jurisdiction shopping and you’ll remove the compliance and accounting burden on tiny and small businesses so we don’t end up either needing merchants of record or, as I’m sure many do, fly under the radar and hope you don’t get noticed. You might even end up *increasing* tax revenue because of it (it’s not revenue if you can’t collect it.)

(Anyway, just an idea… I won’t hold my breath or anything.)

@randahl be aware that #tax dollars financing a government like the US is a wide spread misconception about how fiat money (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiat_money) works. They do not use tax dollars for this otherwise ludicrous propaganda shit show 🤪.

I am wondering who is not being taken care of there. What is the #healthcare system like on #Greenland? No doubt it’s better than what #US citizens have.

One of the less noticed benefits of the ‘royal disgrace’ (the one in the headlines anyway, they had managed to sweep the others under the carpet) is a growing awareness of the powers that this unelected, ignorant, inbred family have over the UK. Legislation is being planned to strip the nonce nonce known as Prince of his line of succession.

Hopefully that will allow their ability to effect UK legislation (where their private interest are effected) to be highlighted,

When the #IRS shared the addresses with #DHS, it also inadvertently disclosed private information for thousands of #taxpayers erroneously, a mistake only recently discovered, said people familiar….
The affected individuals could be entitled to financial compensation for each time their #information was improperly shared. And government officials can personally face stiff #civil & #criminal penalties for sharing #confidential #tax information.

This has to be a #DOGE Easter Egg.

#IRS “improperly” [accidentally-on-purpose] disclosed #confidential #immigrant tax data to #DHS
The #tax agency only recently discovered the “mistake” & is working with other federal agencies on a response.

In France, the new special income tax on high earners has failed to raise as much as projected... but this is partly due to lobbying from the wealthy to ensure the tax was not retrospective & delayed, meaning income could be taken in the window before its imposition.

However, it's still expected to raise less than initially projected in 2026 too, although that will come down to 'tax planning'.

What lessons this might indicate for the UK lie in politics not economics!

The DOJ indicted “Bitcoin Jesus” Roger Ver in one of the largest-ever crypto tax fraud cases.

Those familiar with the case said the evidence was “rock solid” and that prosecutors were confident of a conviction.

Then Donald Trump won a second term.
