Posted on by

IRS Seizes Wedding Boutique, Sells Everything for Next to Nothing

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.

Banned From the US? There’s a Robot for That

Posted on by

“Two telepresence robots roll into a human-computer interaction conference. Sounds like the beginning of a very nerdy joke, but it really happened (#2017). A few weeks ago in Denver, Colorado, a robot I was piloting over the internet from my computer in Idaho stood wheel-to-wheel with a similar ‘bot in a pink skirt controlled by a researcher in Germany.

The Little Known Law That Lets Hospitals Shut Down Competition

Posted on by

This process amounts to nothing more than certificates of monopoly.”
