This is one of the most retarded crypto policies out there
It's like taxing you moving money from your wallet into the piggy bank

NEW: Illinois Governor Pritzker has signed a 0.2% tax on crypto transactions into law including transfers between personal wallets, with the Crypto Council for Innovation calling it "the most punitive digital asset tax in the country."

Plot twist: My baby is due in December and my husband's ENTIRE family decided that means they're all flying to *my* house for Christmas.
I'm talking 10-15 relatives, during peak flu and RSV season, all wanting to hold a newborn. Or worse, watching me waddle around 9 months pregnant trying to host a holiday. Seriously? 😩
I told them no, I don't want a house full of people when I'm either about to give birth or recovering postpartum

@RealJessica That’s the point. They come to burn it down because they hate western civilization.

Why do Muslims want to come to the USA or Europe, and then try to create the same horrible society that they fled from?

@fraustoML @Airbnb Do not book with @Airbnb or @bookingcom EVER. These companies never help when you need them. Absolute Wild West on both platforms. Book direct with a hotel and save yourself the aggravation and money.
English
so @Airbnb let me get this straight
we pay $1100 to stay at an airbnb, they then hold the keys hostage until 9pm for check in, only for them to tell me they won’t give us the keys until we pay for an authorization hold, that would be £1,100.
we realize that it’s against airbnb TOS, we report it, and one of your representatives TELLS us that he is “withholding the keynest details until an offsite hold is authorized”
they said they would help us and we have been waiting for 15 hours, we had to get an emergency hotel for £100, and haven’t gotten a response back for accommodation this week.

Year 2 as a landlord of a rental property in the USA.
I fucking hate it. Paid 550k cash. Fees are idiotic. Constantly something broken. Making 1-2% yearly max from rentals. Price didn't move so far. Sure it will at some point but I don't think I will make more than 100% in a decade.
For me as a trader who can make 50-100% yearly on my account, this is the worst investment. I will dump that damn place soon and never again.

This Illinois law is remarkably bad - it will end up hurting the state, kill jobs and push innovation out of the state.
Coinbase has 1,517,628 customers (aka voters!) in Illinois.
If you think this is bad policy, sign up at @standwithcrypto and let your representatives know

This is one of the most anti-crypto laws in the U.S. It taxes the exchange, transfer, or storage of digital assets—you buy BTC, you pay a tax; you hold your BTC on Coinbase, you pay a tax; and so on. There is effectively no comparable state financial transaction tax on stocks, bonds, or derivatives anywhere in the country. That means crypto is being singled out in violation of several federal laws. Further, the approach makes little sense—you aren’t taxed if you exchange a stock, bond, or derivative in paper form, but you are taxed if they happen to be recorded on a blockchain? That’s like taxing email. So, rather than embracing innovation and the cost efficiencies blockchains can deliver for ordinary people in Illinois, the state is poised to punish its entrepreneurs and citizens that want to use crypto. This is a shame—it was only just recently that Illinois embraced a constructive approach to blockchain technology through the adoption of the effectively-scoped Digital Assets and Consumer Protection Act. This new tax is a complete 180. When states adopt discriminatory, asset-specific taxes that drive builders and users elsewhere, we all lose.

so my boyfriend and i are trying to save for an apartment together and we hit a wall this week.
he makes $5,500 a month. i make $1,400. he suggested we just split everything evenly, $600 each. i said no, that doesn't work for us, and suggested instead that he put in $1,000 and i put in $200, since that's actually proportional to what we each earn.
he thinks i'm the one being unreasonable here.
i tried explaining it but he just doesn't see it. $600 from him is barely a dent. 600 from me is nearly half my paycheck. that's not equal, that's not even close to equal, even though......

CNN takes a sample of the water in the Reflecting Pool to test it
They did more investigation on this than the billion dollar fraud happening across the country

NEW: Illinois is about to TAX @AllTrails $665,000 PER MONTH!!!! That's $8 MILLION/year. Their annual revenue is only $100 M (est). That's 8% of their revenue!!!!
This new law also taxes all other for-profit social media companies.
No I am not joking. And AllTrails is clearly in the definition.
A rough estimate via available data suggests AllTrails has 2 million users in Illinois.
A platform of this size has to pay "$165,000, plus $0.50 per month multiplied by the number of Illinois users over 1,000,000." That's $665,000!!!!

@BlairjWheeler @USGA There should be a 20 handicap in every single group. Let them play under that fuckery.
English
I really hope the @USGA is taking notice of what the we want.
We want a bloodbath. Unplayable conditions that makes the players cry in the media tent. I want them to riot.
Give me a +3 to +5 winner of the United States Open.

@MissThorn_ A guy buying a condo from me didn’t pay his Home Depot card for $47 and got denied a mortgage because his credit score dipped.

Hey maybe don't quit your job when you're a week out from closing on a home
Just an idea
You clearly know better than me though, I'm just a mortgage loan originator and real estate agent

@Duderichy Most people don’t have a car so they justify putting that payment toward rent.
