What are you on about? Anything but OP’s question I guess, just going on tangents instead?

The article you linked is about corporate tax avoidance btw, which yes, absolutely effects everyone. Anything else you’d like to add to your ramblings?

Well that’s a left-field response. He’s not just employing friends and family, he’s also employing loyalists who’ve garnered favors from him (because of their loyalty). And it isn’t just a business, it’s a government

I would employ my family if I could, but I sure as hell wouldn’t choose them over qualified professionals, whether it’s a business or a government. I’m sure as shit not gonna have someone with no financial expertise running my accounting, no matter how much I love them.

Don’t make everything political and start stirring shit, we have enough of that right now

I’ve been written off as “absent-minded” (yet everyone seeks my advice for major life shit)

I feel this in my bones. My family has always labeled me as “aloof, absent-minded, head in the clouds”… and somehow always seem to forget that I’m the one that shows up or gets called when shit goes sideways

I’ve tried to accept that it’s just an “endearing” label from them, and they don’t actually believe I’m unreliable… because they still (individually) fall back on me whenever they need someone to come through. I’m an “aloof crisis hotline” I guess

Same; haven’t looked at reddit since I came here (other than the occasional search engine question where a reddit thread has the info)

I have pictures in my phone (somewhere) of the tags for some bedding that I really enjoyed on a vacation once. Haven’t bought them yet, but I haven’t forgotten. ‘Snuggle bug’ is one of my favorite pastimes

Hmm… I mix my sour cream back up. Honestly never really considered it before now
