if you have a large enough sum of money (i.e., $50m USD ) you can stay invested all the time and withdraw a small sum of money each year like $300k

With $50m if your portfolio averages 4% a year you would be clearing $2m then pulling out $300k for 1.7 gain. You only pay tax on the income withdrawn

my frend catch lionair flight , indonesian borneo to jakarta

the plane acting funny on landing in jakarta, sort of jumping around, weird turbulence

when it land, he look outside and see that one of the major aileron has fuselage completely missing and had been replace with electrical tape

the plane was flying funny because one of the aileron was replaced with electrical tape from dollar store by international airline technician

importantly, if this plane crash, nobody will ever admit this, cctv record deleted, etc. they will just blame beooing

low level officials taking bribes means you can do stuff like never wear a seatbelt, just pay the cop $20 USD if you get pulled over. get pulled up for smoking indoors? $20 USD. run over an illegal immigrant and kill them? USD 1000 to have their records completely erased. Sim card? $5 USD cash. rape? what? the police here hung up on my friend on a 911 call because they spoke english and not the 'national language' (police do speak english here).on a different note, it is legal to rape your wife here

low level corruption causes immense problems and injustices in society. here, everyone drink drives. driving a car while extremely drunk here is default behaviour.

ye high level official bribery will cause probelms, but the low level stuff is what completely craters the system and causes the catastrophic failures in complex engineering systems.

1040 filings are not easy at all. incorrectly filed 1040s can lead to things like your investments being classified as a PFIC and taxed at 39.6%

The "Pay-As-You-Earn" system was introduced in Australia and the UK during WW2 lol. The US has the same system its just been implemented extremely poorly

>8000 IU of vitamin D per day

Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for most adults of 600 IU of vitamin D a day

if anyone actually takes this much vitamin D eveyr day they will get kidney stones and hypercalcaemia... this is incredibly irresponsible advice.
