Some would argue that that’s a pity. That said, the law is the law, especially with regards to what the IRS can and can’t do.Poohbah wrote: ↑Tue Jan 17, 2023 5:44 pmIf he paid his taxes, no.jemhouston wrote: ↑Tue Jan 17, 2023 5:31 pmViolation of the Clean Air Act, Felony Breathing.

They actually have a special kind of tax return for people engaged in illegal activities. Basically, you sanitize the sources of income. Heck, you can even deduct the cost of criminal defense lawyers if you're prosecuted, as that would be considered an ordinary business expense.Wolfman wrote: ↑Wed Jan 18, 2023 12:27 amSome would argue that that’s a pity.

Nope. Now, the IRS did disallow the expense associated with having a rival drug dealer knocked off, as there is a substantial public and government interest in not allowing murder, and the courts upheld that.Wolfman wrote: ↑Wed Jan 18, 2023 2:14 amYou’re shitting me.Poohbah wrote: ↑Wed Jan 18, 2023 1:57 amThey actually have a special kind of tax return for people engaged in illegal activities.

The program has been very competently run. They laid out the scope, got buy-in from all parties, and avoided the usual pitfalls of "OOH, SHINY!"Matt Wiser wrote: ↑Tue Jan 24, 2023 6:30 am Has anyone noticed how exceedingly well the F-15EX program is going? Now, the birds are primarily going to the ANG's tactical fighter and fighter-intercept wings, but the hope is that the Active AF will get some. One came up from Eglin for a demo, and both Goalie and yours truly got a ride in the back seat. Kara also got a ride, and the three of us were wishing we were fifteen or twenty years younger, for this is a very capable aircraft, probably the best non-stealth fighter-attack aircraft in development.
Kelly Ray was very jealous when she found out we all got a ride.
But it's not a guarantee; witness the train wreck that was the EF-15G program. The lack of program integration early on caused some very painful moments, including one airframe having to make an emergency landing at Rogers Dry Lake because the emitters cooked the engine controls...
