Melatonin. At least 15 mg. Some people need double that ;-) Available at your local Walgreens or Kinney's. It's non-habit forming and over the counter. Also aids in immunity, so some of them say. IDK.

People keep offering it to me. Maybe I'll try it if I don't get any sleep tonight.

Thanks.

I should probably get off this forum so my stress level doesn't get increased even more.

Wow. 37 posts in 2 days, FA_Q2. Is that a record?

Seriously. I don't know what you do for work (I'm guessing not running a business), but this proposed requirement is ridiculous. I hope they don't really go through with it, but it sounds like the socialists in charge are taking it seriously. Even though they will loose money in the process...It's all about control to them.

What does post count have to do with anything whatsoever?

I sent a form letter sponsored by small banks of america to my senator. The bank is concerned about the excessive burden extra IRS reporting will create for them. I'm concerned as well, because extra reporting always causes extra paperwork for me as well.

There can be no mistake that those in power intend to milk every last one of us for everything they can. Monetarily, it's already a negative sum game considering how many extra people will they have to hire to monitor the citizens to this degree: That alone will blow the budget for any meager amount they may be rubbing their hands together hoping to eek out of us.

They refuse to even consider reducing their spending, but instead scheme on ways to collect more in taxes. The plan will affect every single business and every single non-government employee.

How many folks already busted your balls about your stupid OP?

If it wasn't for COVID, it seems no one would be dying at all.

I guess we should be thanking heaven for COVID.

Funny how that works.

Zero.

And if my post is stupid, why are you checking the box? I'm not afraid of being stupid or of asking questions. I am afraid of people willing to go along with their leadership without asking any questions.

I have never liked that crap. You would be amazed (and sickened) at how many regulations Democrat and Republican lawmakers write and pass, but with carved out exclusions for themselves.

They are excluded because they are a separate branch of government. Otherwise they become beholden to the executive. Although they should have their own rules and publish them.

Just think, immortality was ours, then came covid.

Heres an idea:

Don't commit tax fraud.

Problem solved. See how easy that was?

You sound like someone who has never been falsely accused of tax fraud and didn't have resources to fight it.
In 'Big Gov't I Trust' IS THE ROAD TO HELL!!!

Fight it?

As though that was a viable option.

CA did this to me a few years back, simply reached into my check account and took about 1000 bucks in state taxes. State taxes earned in Washington state, in a company registered in Washington state at an address in Washington that was STOLEN by a state I have not been a resident of for 20 years.

And the options to fight it? None whatsoever. They asked for proof that I am not a resident of CA. Proof of a negative. And the home I both own and live in is not proof as the only proof they were willing to hear had to come from them. What proof did they have I was a CA resident? That they took tax money from me....

The entire tax system is fucking rife with pure corruption.

I left the state eight years ago and sold anything I had in that democrat shithole. We get our retirement in WA tax free.
