I watched a young woman on Tik Tok who reviewed her income and taxes on video. She noted she had earned around $380,000 from her independent contractor work and investments. She works as a stripper at a club. She paid $118,000in taxes.

@Copper Your city was ahead of its time!!

However negligent you thought the asst principal was, she was more negligent than that. Link to video

Sad.

But they are legal, so…

He mentioned this sort of thing in an interview. “I do expect etiquette inside of the theater, the same way you would at a Broadway show,” he says. “My shows are not really concerts anymore. They’re performances, and there’s a difference between a performance and a concert. Look, I’m not for everyone anymore. I’m just not. And if you want to come and scream and yell and get drunk, don’t come to my show.” Having seen him, I'd agree. His band is one fine outfit, his shows are long and impressive. They leave it all on the stage.

@LuFins-Dad said in School covering up rapes thread 213: What are the penalties for failure to report? For medical personnel? Loss of license at a perhaps. Edit: Any physician who willfully fails to report suspected child abuse or neglect shall be referred to the Illinois State Medical Disciplinary Board for action in accordance with the Medical Practice Act of 1987. Any dentist or dental hygienist who willfully fails to report suspected child abuse or neglect shall be referred to the Department of Professional Regulation for action in accordance with the Illinois Dental Practice Act. Any mandatory reporter who willfully fails to report suspected child abuse or neglect shall be guilty of a class A misdemeanor for a first violation and a class 4 felony for a second or subsequent violation. Any person who knowingly and willfully violates any provision of this section is guilty of a class A misdemeanor for a first violation and a class 4 felony for a second or subsequent violation. If the person acted as part of a plan or scheme with the object of preventing discovery of an abused or neglected child by lawful authorities for the purpose of protecting or insulating any person or entity from arrest or prosecution, the person is guilty of a class 4 felony for a first offense and a class 3 felony for a second or subsequent offense (regardless of whether the second or subsequent offense involves any of the same facts or persons as the first or other prior offense).

@Mik That has been my fear as well.

Apparently it was isolated/discovered in my old physics department in Manchester. They always used to tell us the best people were too busy doing actual work to turn up to lectures.

Yes. Why they might be called for is important and I would imagine is covered in the legislation. If not it’s poorly crafted.

Hope they chunk it. Bad use of a law originally meant for Enron. It's been sorely abused.

I remember the first day of my first Soviet history course in University. The prof, a former officer in the British Army, I touched himself to the class and then said “in this course you will come away with the understanding that the Soviet Union is characterised by a national inferiority complex mindset and a people who sleep with a history book under their pillow”.
