@econoalchemist “Clarity Act” sounds a lot like the “patriot act” where the name means the exact opposite of what it promises.
English
If you support the Clarity Act, you stand in agreement with the contortion act the SDNY used to convict Bill, Keonne, & Roman.
Consider this: no developers have ever been convicted of 18 USC 1960(b)(1)(A) or 1960(b)(1)(B). In fact, I'm not aware of any developers that have even been charged under 1960(b)(1)(A). Those who were charged under 1960(b)(1)(B) had those charges dropped pre-trial. Yet those are the two prongs of the title 18 statute that Clarity Act claims developers will be protected from... the two prongs that aren't even a threat.
1960(b)(1)(C) on the other hand, is the prong that developers have been charged with and convicted of. Yet that is the part that has a special carve out in the Clarity Act so that it remains unaffected by the new proposed law.
Clarity Act establishes in law that developers can be an unlicensed money transmitting business under one prong of the statute while simultaneously not being an unlicensed money transmitting business under two other prongs of the same statute.
This does not codify protections for developers because there is no threat to developers from 1960(b)(1)(A) or 1960(b)(1)(B). This codifies the twisted logic of the SDNY that was used to convict 3 developers under 1960(b)(1)(C).

🚨🚨🚨There is a major flaw in the BRCA of the proposed Clarity Act: (d) CLARIFICATION OF TREATMENT explicitly states that the protections in subsection (c) DO NOT EXTEND to (or "modify the application of") 18 U.S.C. § 1960(b)(1)(C) for a specific subset of conduct by an "initial person." 18 U.S.C. § 1960 prohibits operating an unlicensed money transmitting business. Subsection (b)(1)(C) covers cases involving the transportation or transmission of funds that the defendant knows are: (1) Derived from a criminal offense (e.g., proceeds of fraud, drug trafficking, etc.); or (2) Intended to be used to promote or support unlawful activity (e.g., funding terrorism, further crimes). This is the exact 1960 subsection now being used to target developers. Every builder and developer knows their tool could be used for nefarious purposes. Under this law, that knowledge alone is enough to send you to prison for years. There is NO PROTECTION for developers in the Clarity Act while this carve out remains.

@mikealfred You can buy land in the country. Get an agricultural or wildlife tax evaluation, and then taxes are much more reasonable. But if you live in a city they will eat you alive. Our property is probably worth 3 million, but we only pay around $6k in property taxes, in Texas.

Austin Texas might be one of the best areas to live in the entire country. What am I missing?

@ecommerceshares I’m still working on my first 10 bagger. So six more to go before my first billion. lol.
English
You only need three 10-baggers in order to go from $1 million to $1 billion.
$1m to $10m
$10m to $100m
$100m to $1bn
If you’re starting with $10k, you only need five.

@JaredDHardin You gotta know somebody who works in the government.
English
I'm a veteran and a small business owner. I want some government contracts.
How do I start doing that? I'm signed up on Sam. Gov but I haven't seen any contracts in my local area for my niche.

Stump bros: How to price in the unknowns? The stump was 30-36", mounding was about 7'. They wanted the roots gone too, but essentially, it was one huge root system with about 12-14' diameter to fully grind it. I didn't realize how extensive it was until I was into it... 🫠

Africa is building a wall... Made of trees. 8,000 km of green defiance stretching from Senegal to Djibouti: it’s called the Great Green Wall - a plan to stop the Sahara desert, restore dead land, and lift 100 million people. [🎞️ africabusinessheroes]

@Liberty_Xtreme Yeah I know a guy had to get his rotted flesh scraped out of his calf. Been a hole in his muscle there ever since. Terrible

Any Yankees wanting to move to the south, let me give you a quick wildlife lesson.
Meet one of our most dangerous residents here in Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Florida, etc., etc.
The Brown Recluse spider. Super small, penny for scale below. With one bite they can begin a process of rotting your skin off from the inside out, and you may even need skin grafts in extreme cases.
All that's bad enough, they’re so small you might not even know you’re bitten until it starts to hurt later. They can hide in clothes hampers or any moist secluded spot, or even your bed blankets!!
So you may want to move somewhere else, you know just for your own safety.

I got this little plastic welding tool. Was able to use it to fix a hairline crack in our farm truck radiator using a nylon welding rod. It actually worked! Went ahead and fixed the polypropylene bumper crack as well. Handy tool to have around.
