Many sources are reporting that Trump finally signed the pandemic relief bill:
- Trump signs stimulus and government spending bill into law, averting shutdown
- Trump Signs Pandemic Relief Bill After Unemployment Aid Lapses
- Trump signs stimulus bill ahead of government shutdown, releasing checks and aid
- Trump signs COVID relief bill amid pressure, but adds conditions
Not gonna summarize all the bits in it - it's some 5k pages of legalese gobbledygook, but I understand it continues augmented unemployment benefits, eviction suspension, funding to prevent government shutdown, and another direct cash payment.
I'm sure it also has a bunch of "porky pork", but the people are suffering, time is of essence, and it should have been done months ago.

No wonder you don't have a clue.
SoylentNews is social media. Says so right in the slogan. Soylentnews is people, not tech.

I notice you don't apologize for getting it wrong. Yes, you hit the Azuma sore spot where the person just says shit about other people, and doesn't care in the slightest if what they say is right or wrong. Basically, constructs their own fantasy world and then tries to make everyone play in it.
Sorry, I'm not interested.
As to your questions, in the (non-covid) summer (this being seasonal work), the "small place" is a resort with 300 hotel rooms, 280 cabins, and 440 campsites, plus several restaurants, retail shops, and a Marina - in the middle of a park that sees more than four million visitors a year. and "hospitality accounting" just means that I do a different sort of accounting than the people who figure out what account to charge the office party cake to or strategies for minimizing tax exposure. In particular, it's a combination of auditing all sales transactions in that location plus monitoring that employees are handling money correctly.
Because? This is a pathetic argument from authority without an authority. Last I heard, you worked in the past as a coder and now, are retired and volunteer work at a local food bank. Doesn't sound like you have the life experiences necessary to judge people based on flimsy evidence, right? Maybe you could come back to continue this argument when you do get such experience? It should only take a few decades.

You keep projecting.
Get a real job for once on your life. Seriously, a camp ground? That's like somebody saying they work on a cruise ship. In other words, unemployed.
It's funny. Once my vision is fixed, I'll be using my retirement pension to subsidize my software development. And I'll make money at it, because it's what I do. I should be able to do it through my 90s, in part because I'm not going to open source anything, so no nagging from freetards about features they want that I think go in the wrong direction, or competing with forks of my own crap.
The extra money would be nice, as would being back in the swing of things.
Or to quote Foghorn Leghorn - "where's your ambition, boy?"

Who would have thought that they would have campgrounds in the woods?
Given that this is coming from the person whose present career is cat-sitter, the accusation doesn't have the sting it might otherwise have.
I also find it interesting how we segued from talking about the futility of high taxation (using your own examples!) to my supposed lack of a career and insufficient ambition unbecoming of a SN hack. I guess I better drop a gill net and catch some massive red herring because the school is here.

I'm retired. That's what people in their mid-60s do. I spend my weeks volunteering. You tried to give the impression you were an accountant or whatever, but your posts where you have no clue whatsoever about money say you're full of shit, like usual.
Nobody believes you. Absolutely nobody.
Then again, what can you expect from a hick living in Hicksville.

Welcome fellow deadbeat. Bring the XBox and I'll bring the Cheetos and skunk beer.
Yes, I'm an accountant and yes, I have on occasion tried to give that impression as well. So what? Have I ever argued that you should agree with me because of my authority as an accountant?
I notice those alleged posts didn't happen in this thread.
So anyway, I've been thinking about why you're bringing this apparently completely unrelated thing up in a thread about increasing taxes and I got it figured out. Your problem is that Canada isn't taxing you enough - that is, you need your taxes increased just like Apple does. That's why you're a deadbeat retiree rather than a real job careerist. Here's hoping that Canada fixes that and makes bank at the same time!
