Posted on by

“The elderly Thai immigrants sunk their life savings into designer wedding dresses and were left penniless when the IRS sold them all, according to the couple’s attorney. The legal filing claims that the agent on the case originally recognized that the entire inventory would not need to be sold to satisfy the debt. However, Freeman obtained internal IRS communications through a Freedom of Information Act Request and found that IRS higher-ups decided that the agency should ‘shut down this failing business.'”

Oregon Takes Couple’s Kids Over Hand-Washing, Sunscreen Habits

Posted on by

“This year the couple had a second son, Hunter. The state also took custody of him. This time they didn’t even wait to see how they’d behave as parents: Fabbrini was still in the hospital when they took the boy. One volunteer mediator said she told caseworkers that she believed the couple was capable of raising Christopher. Her conclusion conflicted with the position taken by officials, and subsequently, she says, they told her that her services were ‘no longer needed.'”

The Little Known Law That Lets Hospitals Shut Down Competition

Posted on by

“Iowa makes it a crime for doctors to open up a new location and offer services without obtaining special permission known as a ‘certificate of need.’ Permission is not easy to come by: Dr. Birchansky must persuade state officials that his outpatient surgery center is ‘needed’ in the proposed location through a cumbersome process that resembles full-blown litigation and that allows existing businesses (his competitors) to oppose his application. This process amounts to nothing more than certificates of monopoly.”

Posted on by

“Police could stop arresting people for drug crimes, and focus on violent and property crimes if they wanted to get by with less personnel. They could even pull some officers off speed-trap duty and actually respond to desperate calls for help.  But no, the solution is to simply hire heroin addicts and crack heads. That will surely improve the tensions between the public and police. How could this go wrong, hiring even lower quality officers than before?”
