@Colin_P_A_Jones @tomdinla Actually, if someone had a record for the US, prior to the October 1, 2005 implementation date, all those years would have counted. That's why there's almost 80,000 Japanese qualifying under an agreement where most of the Americans were uninformedly cashed-out. Sorry you did.

@mojd @Colin_P_A_Jones Sorry to toggle back from my blog--I usually don't do Twitter/X anymore. You're right that it's not made clear what actually happens with Dattai ichi-ji kin. You're being cashed out of valuable coverage. To the extent the victim, let's say, is a young person, this is worse.

@DSenFloor @SenSchumer Do I read this right, that in plain language, the tax bill that passed does not have the Short Title, "One Big Beautiful Bill Act"? Like there really was no "Tax Cuts and Jobs Act " in 2017?

@PaprikaGirl_JP For political reasons, I feel that X should be nationalized and run by a public board. Not comfortable at all with what my feed will show, even if I cut out everyone except people I know.

[Rick Gundlach Esq CPA 🟥 @Hoofin]

Happy New Year 2025! I am still trying to avoid posting here a lot.

@jac_siuhaj Every day, I unfollow 400 who don't follow me. By months end, I am shooting for minimum contact on Twitter-X. Come visit me where skies are blue or the mastodon still roam.

[Rick Gundlach Esq CPA 🟥 @Hoofin]

As I am posting where the skies are always blue, I am using a booming circle to cull the ones I am following. I think I have said sayonara to 400 already. If you don't follow me, you won't read this, and OK. You are on the list not to be followed. I've lost 50 since 11/5.

[Rick Gundlach Esq CPA 🟥 @Hoofin]

@jac_siuhaj Nothing besides change of management here at X.

[Rick Gundlach Esq CPA 🟥 @Hoofin]

@bobacola I understand. For many people, there is a lot here on X that they want to access. Myself, I want to disassociate.

[Rick Gundlach Esq CPA 🟥 @Hoofin]

@ToriToriTori I am posting mine where the skies are always blue.

[Rick Gundlach Esq CPA 🟥 @Hoofin]

@downpressor I keep my account going, but I don't spend a lot of time here. And I quit the blue check. No more money. Even though he is a fellow Penn alum, along with Trump and Luigi Mangione. Musk is getting plenty from mine and all of our taxes.

[Rick Gundlach Esq CPA 🟥 @Hoofin]

No offense to any of my modest number of followers, but I have been over in the social media space where the skies are bluer, and that's why I have liked or commented on any of your posts. My feed is overall better there. Really hums. The one here looks like MySpace or AOL.

*haven't*

@MoneyVisCoach If you studied the family and social policies of Norway, then we already follow each other there. I recommended to our circle here's head honcho that he should consider an account, since he'd set one up on Truth Social recently.

[Rick Gundlach Esq CPA 🟥 @Hoofin]

@MoneyVisCoach Oh. I should be my longtime handle, Hoofin, at over there. Don't we follow each other there?

[Rick Gundlach Esq CPA 🟥 @Hoofin]

@hikosaemon I am mostly giving up this site, because of things I read on Slate about how the links are downplayed b/c of "management". Even a link to that story won't copy here. I will put it over there.

[Rick Gundlach Esq CPA 🟥 @Hoofin]

In general, I am posting over there. I have just been here to collect the DMs.

[Rick Gundlach Esq CPA 🟥 @Hoofin]

I stopped here, really. But I have my 14-post thread over there as to how JLPT went this afternoon.

[Rick Gundlach Esq CPA 🟥 @Hoofin]

@ConservativeOG Actually, to the fringe element in the contemporary American Democratic Party, that foremost fashions it as some anti German Workers’ Party, you are probably right.
