You obviously have no idea what you're talking about ITIN = individual taxpayer identification number. These are issued to people that do not have SSNs so there is 0 identity theft.
Additionally, if they are getting paid under the table and not paying taxes then that means the IRS has 0 data for anyone to use to go after them. Therefore the only data that the IRS has that to be used to go after immigrants are the ones that are currently paying taxes anyone not paying taxes is actually more easily able to avoid ICE and not contributing to the tax base.
The goalposts keep moving, first it was all the criminals that had to go, but there weren't enough of those, so then it was anyone who looked foreign needs to be checked, but it isn't enough. So now they need to find anyone that is currently here and paying taxes and not a criminal. So yes the people that are paying taxes are a net positive, and incentivizing people to not do so is not going to help anyone, but it will give Trump and other idiots numbers to point to about look how many people we went after.
guess who doesn't have plenty of school shootings? the rest of the world... It really doesn't matter if one state or town makes owning guns a little harder when you can just go a little bit further to easily get whatever you want. Just look at fireworks. plenty of states ban them so fireworks stores setup on the border to sell fireworks to the people from those states more easily.
Since anyone in Utah can sue anyone for "violating" this law couldn't they find a sympathetic person in Utah to go after the company of their choice so they could then challenge the legality of the law? They would still have to wait till it goes into effect but they would be able to then control who/what/when was sued and challenge the law
they would love that they make way more money if you lease the car and turn it back in so they can sell or lease it again to someone else and you have to get another car from them
Not that I think he's a good person or anything, but I do think Vivek Ramaswamy had a fair point, she attacks Tik Tok and wants it banned while her own children are on the service actively using it. She hasn't addressed or said anything about that other than attacking Vivek for bringing her kids into it. However, it would seem to me that if she's saying something should be done "for the children" it's a bit empty and hypocritical when her own children do the thing she wants to ban.
unfortunately, over here if you have money you can put off facing anything for quite a long time. My wife's old boss was drunk and hit and killed a person, but money and a good lawyer kept him out of jail and living his life for another ~6 years or so. Eventually the law did catch up to him and he did get convicted but it took quite a while to do so.
Same here, we had Netflix in the US since they mailed us DVDs. We were paying for 4 streams so that my mother-in-law and disabled sister-in-law could also watch netflix if they so chose. After the changes I canceled my account completely and they didn't sign up so they went from 4 streams with usually at most 1 being watched at a time to 0 streams. I have so many other options that it's not really missed.
So thanks Netflix for helping me save ~$25/month for something I don't even need.
As mentioned frequently part of the compensation package is residuals form the show being rewatched. So if they suddenly drop it they no longer get paid any of that money and the company gets to write it off as a loss to lower their tax liability but the individuals just get screwed.
I was paying 19.99 for years for 4 simultaneous screens for my wife and I and her mother. I already didn't use Netflix too often anyway with all the other options, so when this came out I canceled the account and told them why. I paid for 4 streams and don't need that with only 2 people and we don't even watch it that often so they go from $20/month to $0 as my mother-in-law isn't interested in her own account either.
this was likely in response to things like the ski jump which were with fake snow directly in front of some stacks that LOOKED like nuclear reactor towers. They were actually industrial cooling towers from a shuttered factory, but the gist is the same the Winter Olympics were largely held in a location with no snow or winter but all manufactured snow next to industrial areas.
You realize the only reason Netflix puts their movies in any theaters is to meet the bare minimum to qualify for some film awards. They don't care and don't push to release them on a national level because that's not what they're after they have their own national distribution model ... it's called Netflix
my 1st gen fire tv is unable to keep up with all the options and information these days, but i have several newer ones that still work better than anything else. While chromecast works pretty well the fact that there is no remote and you have to use a phone to control it means sticking to fire sticks or roku for my wife anv guests.
Not sure how they would get on board with this, one of the things they're advertising out of the gate is that their plans include 4 streams for much less than netflix
Politicians keep doing actions and making changes that they think are OK for their team but should not apply to others, completely ignoring reality and the hypocrisy of everything they're doing and saying especially with video and audio you can play side by side saying the exact opposite based on who is impacted.
because they can use the other aspects in the law going after future sites without bringing up the most vulnerable piece. In this case the site is already dead and they're highligting the piece that is weakest about an already terrible bill.
Seems to me that amending this complaint is a big risk for the law with no real upside. Backpage was already taken down without the law, but trying to apply this law retroactively they open themselves up to legal challenge of the highly questionable retroactive piece of the legislation.
wrong, since May of 2016 when I moved, and I was not the first house in the neighborhood, I have had 1Gbps symetric, up and down, at my house, pretty sure one of the two major political parties in the US can get the same or better service with all their connections and money

Same guy
Just had to resign for his raciest comments coming out https://www.npr.org/2025/02/06/nx-s1-5289337/elon-musk-doge-treasury
That's not really a "leak" that came out years ago and TJ Miller said after that him and Ryan are fine now.

Can't they then just pick a sympathetic person to work with?

Another ban for others but not me

How did he hire a "professional" gamer that couldn't even beat other racers that aren't gamers?
