Pple complaining abt U.S. "vaxx mandates" don't know what they are talking abt. 1- The Federal private corp. mandate is "vaxx or TESTING". What is the problem with TESTING ? 2- The gov employee mandate is just vaxx. Explain to me why an libertarian wd work for the gvt? Idiots.

Crypto tax: All sales taxed at 30%. No deductions of brokerage etc. allowed. No set-off against any other losses allowed (Is this reading right: you can't even set off losses in other crypto transactions) https://t.co/MpwpvSPleA
