"Roth IRAs are as good a retirement vehicle as you can have."

Except that contributions are after-tax, and have a lower cap than 401(k) accounts. So there is a tradeoff.

Counterpoint: Oracle Corporation.

True, but in American law at least, some crimes like murder don't have a statute of limitations.

I should add, on the same page, there is an excerpt of an interview with his sister Lynn who set Dennis up with a friend for her junior prom. So he at least dated.

More broadly:

"As a youth Dennis was social and outgoing, then in young adulthood he transformed quite rapidly to become more private and anti-social. Hard to pin down exactly when this would have been happening… except that clues from John and Lynn’s interviews suggest perhaps sometime around February 1968 might be central."

I think labeling it a "show trial" goes too far. Three of the original defendants (Fritzsche, von Papen, and Schacht) were acquitted; and Doenitz was spared the death penalty for his unrestricted submarine warfare orders because similar orders were issued by the victorious Allies. I doubt a full-on show trial would have been as just or merciful.

Note for the casual hockey fan: The NHL overtime system is different in the playoffs, since the playoffs requires clear winners and losers.

(Game 1 of the 2023 Eastern Conference Finals featured four overtime periods; and the tie-breaking/game-winning goal was scored after 139 minutes and 47 seconds of total game time, at 1:54 am EDT.)

That headline doesn't read well. Maybe "IRS can sometimes get taxpayer's financial info from third parties without notifying taxpayer."

The "sometimes" is important. The law normally requires notification, but an exception exists once the IRS has reached the late stage of collecting unpaid tax liability. Petitioners felt the exception only applied "when a delinquent taxpayer has a legal interest in accounts or records summoned by the IRS...." SCOTUS unanimously disagreed, based on the text of the law in question.

"We could start the cutting with the Defense budget, but I won't hold my breath."

Given events over the last ~15 months in Ukraine, I think this is a bad time for defense cuts.

"(fact) America is a single market with a single language with basically a single set of regulations."

I'm probably being pedantic, but: the "single set of regulations" really is an oversimplification. Each state has it's own rules in addition to Federal regulations (trying selling cars in California that meet Federal emissions standards, but not California's). Plus, there are state taxes to consider.

SVB's haircut was from LONG TERM bonds. Not T-Bills.

This is good for bitcoin. /s
