Seems to me that in order to have a few years of losses, you would have to have had some years of gain previously. Otherwise, you wouldn't have any assets to go down in value and generate losses. When those assets or other assets previously went up in value, I assume he did pay taxes. Yes?
Perhaps Trump has done some shady tax things, but that article doesn't really point them out. So, you post the article with your own title of "Trump is classic example of Tax Cheats." What about that article supports your claim?
Is Trump a bad businessman who always have loses?..year after year..or fudging to hide income.

Machine translation:
There are many reasons why you can use a cell phone jammer. Some of them can be used legally with permission from local government. Cellular jammers are commonly used when the cellular signal is blocked and unable to ring for security reasons or due to enforced cellular silence. A cell phone jammer is a device that blocks cell phones from receiving signals from base stations. When used, the jammer effectively disables the phone. These devices can be used almost anywhere, but calls to these places are particularly susceptible to interference, mainly because they need to be silent.
Different countries have different laws regarding the use of cell phone jammers. Mexico, for example, has no laws against these devices, while private use of phone locks is illegal in the US and most western countries. But the tide is changing. Japan allows the installation of frequency jammers in public places such as theaters and concert halls, but requires a government-issued permit. France's industry minister has approved a decision allowing cinemas, concert halls and theaters to be set up while emergency calls can still be made. Canada believes a blockade could also be imposed in similar circumstances. However, Industry Canada, which oversees Canada's telecom operations, decided against the move, arguing that the devices could interfere with communications with police, violate personal liberties and endanger public safety. regulatory and security authority.
If you have an important meeting and someone's phone suddenly rings, even if you tell them to turn off the phone before the meeting, it can be annoying. To solve this problem, mobile jammers were invented. If you need a more powerful phone jammer, you can choose a high-performance phone jammer, which can not only improve the work efficiency of company employees, but also protect confidential data loss.
The high power cell phone jammer has the powerful ability to block different frequency signals simultaneously or separately. In addition to different gps jammers, the best mobile jammers also have different applications. Some of them are designed for bomb handling and VIP protection during combat and security. Others are designed for police forces. In addition, some cell phone jammers even have waterproof and shockproof features, which can work in harsh environments and can be easily controlled both outdoors and indoors.
Of course, buying a cell phone jammer is an inexpensive and convenient way to block all those naughty mouths that annoy you in public places. If you intend to buy such devices, you must first familiarize yourself with how the devices work. Many people think that wifi jammers are expensive and hard to come by, but the truth is that many companies offer them and you can definitely find them somewhere. The function of a cell phone jammer is essentially to block the frequencies used by cell phones - in most cases these are 800MHz, 900MHz, 1800MHz and 1900MHz and it is important to know what frequencies are being used in your area . Each device supports different frequencies and you should buy the one that suits your needs. Of course, there are also special products that support different frequencies, which can be adjusted according to your needs.
All in all, with a cell phone jammer, you are the safest operating system without a cell phone, you really won't find anyone. But today, many people are turning to smartphones because they offer us many features compared to regular mobile phones. However, these mobile devices are notoriously vulnerable and contain large amounts of sensitive data. They know where we are, they know who we're communicating with, they know what we're talking about.

I think it's just the inevitable result of corrupt one-party rule.
The really don't care because there is no possibility of being voted out in California.
Your tax money is simply distributed as crazy large pensions to the various public unions in return for votes, or for guaranteeing election fraud if the vote gets too close to some Democrat actually losing.

I flattened a tire and deformed the rim and thought I took out suspension getting onto Pleasanton onramp to 680. I hit something, but I never exactly saw what it was. Big O was able to find the tire and a matching replacement rim for $$$, said suspension was OK but I think I need new shocks at some point.

I remember that road but it's been 11 years. I was dating a chick in Pleasanton so would drive it pretty often. Have you ever noticed that dome-home under the wind turbines? My buddy was dating a chick that lived in that so the 4 of us hung out there one night. When you're that close to the wind turbines the sound is super eerie. Because it is a dome you can imagine what the walls would look like inside. It's not what you think. Basically they are normal walls that just don't reach the ceiling so you can hear everything everywhere. Not sure why someone would want to live in that place - I didn't ask.

Roads are horrible here and they held them hostage by putting street repaving projects in a catchall over half billion dollar bond measure that also included new affordable housing, improved wildfire safety, restoring crumbling public facilities, upgrading parks and preparing local infrastructure for a changing climate. Needless to say, it did not pass...

Government well connected contractor win bid for doing work for $100M. Then he is selling this job to subcontractor for $50M. Then this is selling job to his subcontractors for $25M. The last one has to use low quality materials and cheap labor to make some money on project.

I don't want to dox myself too much. It's the refining process. Oils used in asphalt of 30-40 years ago was much different than what we have today. To keep it simple I'll make the math easier. In the 1970's you could refine oil to fuel at a 90% rate. The remaining 10% would be used for things like asphalt. Fast forward to the last decade and there's only 1% left for asphalt and it's the shit oil in the refining process.
Basically you're driving on roads that are 90% less quality from what most users here likely grew up on. Freeze thaw matters, but we just have shittier asphalt from the word go now. It's not necessarily politics or construction practices. It's a quality issue because selling and refining oil for other products like fuels mainly is more profitable than using it for asphalt.
Another way to think of it is squeezing a wet rag to get the water out of it. 98 People got to squeeze the rag to get some water and what you drive on is the 2% left. Used to be 10%. Makes a huuuuuuggggge difference.

My sister is one in New Hampshire. I'm an EE, and I didn't magically absorb my sister's knowledge, but I can tell you, the roads in NH are built specifically to last. It's built for infrastructure. I love that state for their roads, and I'm certain my sister does as well.
They are seriously built to last and to be functional. There are passing lanes, roundabouts, and the roads are NOT designed to be replaced 5-10 years later. They're well built, and designed to last for a long long time so I don't think it's just a function of what is available for asphalt. In NY, roads are purposely designed to be replaced 5-10 years later, to make certain that people will be employed. In NH, a road needs to be built, they hire the dregs of society to build it (no offense, but it's not skilled labor if you have a competent foreman), and they build a road, and then when they are done, the drifters move on to another job. Some of these "drifters" are high school graduates, people that just left the military, university students working in the summer - they aren't bad people, but they are doing this as a summer job basically. It's not a permanent job for them, and NONE of them expect to be "moving up" doing it, it's just hard work and money.
There's a reason NH has the Liberty Project located there. Having an economic system that is designed not to provide employment, but to provide wealth in terms of assets and infrastructure, is a good idea. They don't have ambitious crazy projects, they have projects designed to improve the state, at a low cost, to accommodate the population, and they do NOT want input from "East Coast Liberals", although they will take their money.

Poured water on Muslim women going on E-rickshaw, when the women refused then poured water again.
This is how it started and later end with molestation and sexual harassment, all in the name of Holi.
