You are shopping in the wrong places then.

Most small businesses, especially those in the Chinatowns or other ethnic communities, gives discount for people who pay in cash (sometimes you have to ask). The discount comes from waiving the CC merchant fees and local sales tax.

Cubic also are behind the Ventra fare system used here in Chicago, which is a one big joke.

"Federal Prisons are more capable and professionally managed than State Institutions. And State Institutions are more capable and professionally managed then private institutions."

Surprise! Government is more efficient then the private sector!

Not only that, I knew of the "top-5-rank" coder on CodeEval.com who is actually a graduate of UI-Chicago (UIC), not UI-Urbana-Champaign as most people thought when they think of computer science.

Same with China. Although the current "frankenstein" blend of socialism + capitalism have corrupt things a little bit. Public schools are preferred over private schools (in America it is usually the other way around)

I can tell you are not from an Asian family and not a good parent because because all your children have fled instead of staying around taking care of the elderly and ensure assets and trusts stay intact.

Chances are the OP is not making enough to have an one-income household.

But in a two-income household, that is what in-laws are for. Free child care, free housing etc. (at least in most Asian societies this is widely accepted)

Cloud computation sites like CEX.io and Cloudhashing.com and are for those who don't want to house their computation mechanism at home. The cloud cost at least triple compare to similar (performance-wise) hardware, but you don't have to deal with electricity and stuff, plus you can sell back your hashing power to the exchange.

will probably get the same kind of sentence, as the crimes were similar.

Yup, it was used to hide your money once you find out that your partner turned into a golddigger and file for divorce.

Prenuptial agreements are not just for the super-rich anymore, especially nowadays when traditional family values are being systematically breaking down (at least in the Western world). It is your protection against having your salary taken for life, feeding the disloyal dishonest golddigger bitch + the children that you will probably NEVER get to see in your entire life.

You probably wouldn't get bothered either if your gift cards can only be used in your store. If you start printing, let say Visa/MC branded gift cards then you will definitely need to get registered with FinCEN.

This is a by-product of having a left-wing regulation-ridden government.

Depends. If the car owner is black and a white cop is killed in similar circumstances and got charged, the ACLU and mainstream media will be jumping all over it.

In fact, most money mules are recruited via "work-at-home" schemes.

A national guaranteed job program (or employer of last resort) will solve all this issue. Not to mention it will reduce recidivism rate. But of course some "religious" people will outright object, even though their scripture said otherwise.

Most people wants to work for the check. Unemployment is not a choice, despite what the mainstream media told you.
