I'm fascinated how Reddit can be both a cesspool and a super great source of info depending on which subreddit you wander into.

So true -- also thanks for the link. I guess I did have the basic concept; I just kept getting hung up on things like, "Yeah, but if you compared how much ground beef they bought to how many hamburgers they claimed to sell..." But then with a place like a car wash -- there's no real way to tell how many cars went through. I mean, even if you had a counter, you could like, run the same car through ten times. or whatever. I would be a money launderer's worst nightmare with my inherent "Yeeeeaaaaah, but..."ism.

Not "our" place. The place. You know.

Heh. Yeah.

So, apparently a lot of the unpaid taxes have a lot to do with not submitting payroll taxes right or at all or whatever. Yikes.

I'm truly being a nerd. I'm 3D printing extra modules for my desk organizer system.

Sweet!

Whew, dcp, go you. And enjoy that Chinese food, yum.

Totally went down the rabbit hole of finance crap today. I mean, it was good in a way, and I learned some things, but also, it's overwhelming, because I only learned enough to know how much I need to dig in and learn more. tl;dr is we need a retirement tax advisor, even though we're not retiring any time soon. Looking at this one guy whose philosophy makes sense to me and who writes about concepts in a way that I can understand. Mostly.

not submitting payroll taxes right

Oh no! Yikes indeed.

Our wings are not tired.

Oh yeah, they will really hammer you with penalties when you don't hand over payroll withholdings.

We've had a couple nights that dipped below freezing, but not enough to freeze my water pipes. Still, we do need to get our ducks in a row to get out of here before end of month. Need to be home to vote. Head is still annoying, but not terrible.
