Careful with your satire, folks. He's got money, and people with money tend to be pretty quick on the "defamation lawsuit" trigger.
Edit: I'm not saying don't. Please do. But be careful about what you say, and where you post it; and probably stay as anonymous as you can when/if you do.
Satire against a public figure has historically been ruled as free speech.
Until the corrupt billionaires pay the corrupt assholes on the supreme court enough to overturn it of course.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. We're there. Be careful.
If there's one thing that's been clear is that businesses have more rights than humans so we should all register an S Corp in some state that has super lax reporting laws and then post as CEOs of that company.
If they take you to court tell them that you have limited liability as an officer of a corporation and that they need to sue the corporation.
Since the corporation has no assets and no income, you start bankruptcy proceedings. Set up a second company and repeat.
That's...depressingly realistic.
my attorney friend (note: We did not establish privilege) said pretty much the same thing. It's a lot easier to dismiss liability for an officer of a corporation than for an individual person.
We shit talked very informally and pretty much came to the conclusion that so long as you don't pierce the corporate veil (e.g. spending company money on personal things), you are pretty protected.
So... register an LLC, once you have fed tax id, then send https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f2553.pdf to IRS and bam you are an s-corp.
Which states are lax about corp laws?
This was a few years ago. Pretty much most of the red flyover states (Arkansas, Minnesota, etc.)
Basically my criteria was:
- very low or free filing
- reporting requirements that can be filed online
- had strong liability protections
Most states (even blue states) have pretty strong liability protections so long as you write your bylaws correctly.
But free filing was rare. Most had some sort of annual business license fee.
He's welcome to try to get the $200 or so that's in my bank account if he really wants it.
I hope you get back on your feet soon bro ❤️💰
That's as on your feet as it gets for a lot of Americans. But I hope so too, thanks.
Nice humble bragging, "Oh look at me, my bank account is in the positive."
Would it help if I said it's only because my wife gives me money since I don't have a job?
"oh no, I am a kept man, woe is me!".
The next thing you will tell us is how difficult it is to have such a hot and horny wife who insists that you have frequent and amazing sex with her.If only.
Well, my bank account is in the positive too.
My shoes are worn down and rain is an actual health hazard now because I've nearly slipped half a dozen times in the last week alone and impaired balance makes that a stochastic time bomb, but at least I can still pay the incoming medical bills. Hopefully. Or at least the first installment.
But hey, positive balance! I'm sure that won't trick my impulse buying problem into telling itself I can afford- ooh look, there's a shiny new game!
The other 97% of the planet - "Aye go on then you hairy pædo bawsack"
He's welcome to try, that's not going to fly where I'm from.
Look at Mr. Fancypants here, living in a place with a functional judiciary
I would love to see him try to launch a lawsuit against me. It would be highly comical.
Yeah right ok but again, money. And Money creates around it a legality-distortion field.
It's worse than that.
Money means they can sue the shit out of you with losing lawsuit after losing lawsuit. For them that's pocket change that fell between the cushions of the couch. For you it's bankruptcy from legal bills.
