  • Yeah, and maybe people would vote for Democrats if they’d represent our interests. Instead, all we get is “we need something to campaign on next election” until people get fed up and elect Republicans who undo everything the Democrats did and the cycle starts over again.

    The system never progresses, the people never learn, and corporate interests reign supreme another election cycle.

    As long as we have two parties working together to further corporate interests, nothing will change, which is why we need 5-6 political parties, ranked choice voting, and a constitutional amendment to repeal Citizens United.











  • As far as I understand tax law (which isn’t very far), when filling out your Schedule C, you can write off 50% of the cost of the PC and lab equipment without raising too much suspicion. You can also claim them as assets and claim depreciation on them. You can also claim the portion of electricity and internet used, unless you’re a full-time W-2 employee working from home.

    You can also film yourself doing these projects and upload it to YouTube, which means you have a video production business.

    My understanding is this is how most upper-middle class people and minor millionaires legitimately reduce their tax obligations.


  • Assuming you’re actually doing work and not just using the business as a loss center, yes.

    If you’re actually doing work, it’s well worth your time and money to form an LLC.

    However, an LLC can’t deduct the same things as a sole-proprietorship. So, if you simply want a business on paper to serve as a loss center, that’s probably the better choice.

    Again, this is just MY understanding of things. I’m in no way trying to give advice or tell you what YOU should be doing, only you can decide what’s best for you.
