In America, we sometimes take our freedoms for granted. Here, a "banned book" is one that might get kicked out of a school or a library, even though it continues to be widely available at other libraries and book stores for anyone to buy. But for people living in China, a "banned book" is just that: it is banned, period.
Made you look! This is one seriously charming sculpture floating its way into harbors around the world. It just arrived in Hong Kong’s Victoria Harbor where it was met by officials, teams of child dancers and other large rubber duckies, but nothing close to the one bobbing in the bay.
I think the foreign tax thing is the big one here. The government will likely never be able to figure out a way to tax good that are purchased from different countries. We will just shift our shopping to rely even more on China/Hong Kong for many things (you can already order a ton of stuff online with fast ePacket delivery from USPS - see like everything on eBay).

$1M per year, all spendable, that's different. Now the kid can trick out the Ferrari the way he wants it. You're making $100,000 per month during the season, by the fourth month you don't know what to do with it.
The Moore-type deal is not only sensible fiscally, it also moves the kid into the rich man's lifestyle.

Q. Is a 30% discount reasonable, for a kid trying to sell a future TOR year and get paid for it today?

To the A's for their cowardly gambit, rolling out onto the field in day-glo reflective gold satin.
