  1. Apparently $5000 checks to all Americans would cost the federal budget $1.3b. So that means that every $250b that the government spends is about $1000 that they could otherwise reduce your taxes by. I think that without that understanding, it's hard to care when you hear about increased defense spending etc.

    $1b in federal spending equals ~ $4 in your taxes.

  15. When “National Security” Becomes a Weapon Against Social Security by Lawson Akhigbe

    "let’s be very clear about what it [ #IRS deal/ #SlushFund ] really does. It’s a vehicle for Trump himself.... We’re talking about a potential waiver of tax investigations & audits into his own finances. With all of his schemes, that possibly covers BILLIONS of dollars in #tax liability. The cash for #January6th insurrectionists, as horrifying at it is, is also a cover story for #Trump to enrich himself"

  17. Navigating the Void: Why Nigeria Needs a Corporate Deferred Prosecution Agreement (DPA) Framework

    In a standard DPA regime, a company that self-reports and cooperates can avoid the "corporate death penalty" of a criminal conviction. In Nigeria, we are currently forced to rely on the Administration of Criminal Justice Act (ACJA) 2015. While the ACJA provides for Plea Bargaining, it is a fundamentally different animal from a DPA:

  19. Thanks to @johnbrowntypebeats for reminding me of this gem.

    Which reminds me of a good saying:

    "I don't argue with people that John Brown would've shot."

    And something I need to reread:

    "On the Duty of Civil Disobedience"
