Exactly! I find it amazing for anyone to claim that eliminating a tax is bad for people. LOL. I am sorry, but ANY financial policy that favors income earners will disporportionately affect people that make less money. That is not sound reasoning to tax us. If you are worried about poor people without money, maybe concentrate on how the finacial institutions and goverments manipulate the system to consolidate wealth and grow it. Meanwhile the rest of us cannot build wealth without DEBT. Usary is a sin in religious dogma and has historically been legally banned.

Doll has not read Baldoni’s amended complaint.

Each of Lively’s sexual harrassment claims has been debunked. Receipts were provided. The lack of due dilligence by attorney Doll is appalling.

For example, Heath showed Lively a birthing video, of him and his wife with their newborn BABY in it it, and Lively characterised this as pornography. That was a blatant distortion of the facts – Lively has no basis to her sexual harassment claims – this includes the VIDEO she references in which she said there was no sound but oh wait, Baldoni released the SAME video with the sound and oh boy, did Lively exaggerate.

The move DID NOT backfire. It is part of the reason why so many people support Baldoni. That text message is not the sought of thing a married woman, let alone someone who claims to be sexually harrassed, sends a man.

Stop kidding yourself you deceived anyone with that silly line.

Generally, to warrant a CoS, an artist has to be of “international status” already – in other words have a fan following in multiple countries. So it’s not for new artists (and not generally for busking either!).

In terms of migration this is a useless route unless the artist only wants to be here for a year or two; because 2 years is the absolute ceiling (1 year max initially, plus 1 possible extension). Even then, the artist has to have a full itinerary with work going on at least every 14 days (bigger gaps are a big problem), so it’s not as easy as the article makes out.

Alternatives to CW include PPE (30 days max) and the more long-term Global Talent route.

“the responsibilities of performers and audiences in honoring the histories of such expressions”

“Responsibilities?” Are you kidding?!? Do you realize the amount of death and destruction that crips are accountable for!!!???

Hard to be more cringeworthy than your take.
