●● IRC: #techrights @ Techrights IRC Network: Sunday, February 11, 2024 ●● ● Feb 11 [00:00] DaemonFC SVB was just stupidly managed in so many ways. Most banks only have Treasuries as a percentage of their assets. They diversify into credit cards, personal loans, auto loans, mortgages. Now, there are stupid ways to handle mortgages, like First Republic did, and they also failed. [00:01] DaemonFC Giving out mortgages that will fail to turn a profit for years to "high net worth" individuals whose employers are "tenuously positioned" at best is stupid. The bank should have set them up to profit immediately and put them in foreclosure and sell the house again quickly when the business cycle ended. [00:02] DaemonFC The fact that Jerome Powell is saying there will be a string of bank failures in 2024 and 2025, and he hopes they are manageable should put a chill down the spine. [00:02] *Righty has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [00:03] DaemonFC Right after he said this, all the bank stocks closed down. [00:03] DaemonFC But it's just the start of a realization that there's an impending financial crisis. [00:06] DaemonFC The tax cuts Trump passed have gone about as far as they can go in ameliorating the deterioration in fiscal health of the American households. The inflation brackets are now such that we won't owe federal income tax this year, yet we are still worse off because of a lack of raises, the greedy bloodsucking landlord, and the cost of food and healthcare. [00:08] DaemonFC Most people shouldn't pay income tax. The federal tax code started out affecting only about the richest 10% of the American public. The federal government spending like a drunken sailor meant the tax eventually applied to almost everyone. [00:08] DaemonFC The Federal Reserve should also be audited and fully nationalized. [00:10] DaemonFC I noticed that Germany has been demanding the gold they have on deposit with the Fed to be returned. [00:11] DaemonFC Also, there has not been a comprehensive audit of Fort Knox. There are missing depository notes involving potentially thousands of gold bars. [00:12] DaemonFC It's harder to suggest this is a gold conspiracy if Germany is disturbed enough to demand its gold back. [00:15] DaemonFC Of course I did like Goldfinger more than most of the other James Bond movies. :) [00:18] TR News (NEW): Debian 12.5 Bookworm Released with 68 Bug Fixes and 42 Security Updates http://news.tuxmachines.org/n/2024/02/11/Debian_12_5_Bookworm_Released_with_68_Bug_Fixes_and_42_Security.shtml | Gemini address: gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2024/02/11/Debian_12_5_Bookworm_Released_with_68_Bug_Fixes_and_42_Security.gmi [00:18] TR Bot Tux Machines Debian 12.5 Bookworm Released with 68 Bug Fixes and 42 Security Updates [00:54] MinceR https://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/wish-3 [00:54] TR Bot Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal - Wish [00:55] *includeals has quit (Quit: ZNC - https://znc.in) [00:55] *includeals (~includeal@bl21-236-167.dsl.telepac.pt) has joined #techrights ● Feb 11 [01:09] *macrohumanity (~macrohumanity@69sgjr4ayeysy.irc) has joined #techrights [01:13] *tessier has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [01:15] DaemonFC MinceR: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJrW1sgWSXc [01:15] TR Bot https://invidious.tiekoetter.com/watch?v=cJrW1sgWSXc [01:15] TR Bot api.invidious.io | Invidious Instances [01:15] DaemonFC :) [01:17] *tessier (~treed@yj4vtb2wnyk7y.irc) has joined #techrights [01:17] DaemonFC https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQw36-MMmUw [01:17] TR Bot https://iv.melmac.space/watch?v=PQw36-MMmUw [01:17] TR Bot iv.melmac.space | RICK ROLL!

In a written statement in response to questions, she said the appellate court upheld her rulings in the vast majority of cases and defended her sentencing practices. She also said attorneys have asked that her cases be reassigned to another judge only a small percentage of the time a clear indicator that defendants, defense... [22:28] DaemonFC ...attorneys and... [22:28] DaemonFC ...the states attorneys office do not view me [as] unfair, harsh or difficult." [22:29] DaemonFC Well, if you ask for another judge, you have to say why. If you say because this is the nastiest judge in the whole damn county and she has a history of false convictions, being overturned, and handing down twice as much punishment as any other judge, and get denied, you've now pissed her off AND she will be deciding the case. [22:30] DaemonFC "By comparison, the United States because it considers Vietnam a non-market economy assesses a Vietnamese product's value based on what it is worth in a third country (a market economy) and then assumes this is the likely production cost to a Vietnamese company, rather than using data provided by the company itself." [22:31] DaemonFC It's unfair to consider the cost of making the product in a country that pays people and isn't ran by a bunch of commie thugs, I suppose.

[22:39] DaemonFC It's very Windows-11ish in how it nags you to do things that just make TurboTax more expensive without adding many benefits. [22:39] *DaemonFC gives voice to phebus SaphirJD u-amarsh04 [22:39] DaemonFC The "Audit Defense" thing only talks to the IRS if you get a letter. [22:39] DaemonFC It does not do anything you can't do yourself. [22:40] DaemonFC Almost all letters from the IRS start out "We are proposing an adjustment." so they think you owe them money. You can sign it and pay them if it's true like "Oh, I am so stupid, I can't believe I forgot that form!" or you can respond with a letter about why you do not owe them and show your work. [22:41] DaemonFC I mean, TurboTax isn't going to pay your taxes for you if you screwed up like this. So they say pay us $50 and if this return gets letters, we'll talk to them! [22:41] DaemonFC But the number of letters you get is so low, it's like 0.2% chance for most people per tax year. [22:42] DaemonFC Unless you make over $100,000 or are paper-filing or don't attach a form they have a copy of or make a mistake on a line somewhere, you'll probably never hear from them. [22:42] DaemonFC So you'd just be wasting $50. Complete waste of $50. [22:43] DaemonFC It's generally not worth trying to audit someone who has (1) filled out the return properly, (2) accounted for all income the IRS has a copy of the forms for, (3) is a "wage earner" (not enough potential money to justify the cost of looking at them), e-filed (less mistakes), is not "just guessing" at numbers, is taking the standard deduction, etc. [22:44] DaemonFC They mostly go with high earners, people who are taking credits and deductions that are widely abused or that they don't qualify for, questionable itemized deductions, etc. [22:45] DaemonFC If you think about it, the taxes on people making less than $100,000 are so low anyway that if a full blown audit ends up costing $5,000 you're going to take it somewhere else. [22:50] DaemonFC "Cash App lets you file federal and state for free." [22:50] DaemonFC Yeah, that sounds sus. As the kids say these days. [22:50] DaemonFC They have ads on the TV that are obviously targeted at low income minorities who need predatory loans before payday.
