You just got $75,000 in free money. Would it kill you to spend $300 on a CPA who can help you avoid prison for tax fraud?

I'm not a criminal, but it's tempting to get a bunch of sovereign citizen materials together, edit it to remove the blatant racism and add references to crypto, and sell it to these people as a "Bitcoin tax hacks package."

Now you're talking. The problem with current crypto is that anyone can buy, we need to restrict the market so that only true, trustworthy patriots can invest and thus be counted on to hodl when absolutely necessary. Introducing, Aryancoin. Consult this handy chart for eligibility. Also the blockchain will record your purity percentage.  Apologies if this is too on-the-nose, it is a satirical post but sadly I am sure that there are bitcoiners that would be on board for a similar scheme.

It's been a while since I followed bitcoin but I remember there being an altcoin like this. I cant remember what it was called but the idea was that only trustworthy people could buy it and that people could tell if you where trustworthy from a picture if they where the same race as you. Also there are only three races; Caucasoids, Negroids and mongoloids.

One of my co-workers just applied to become redesignated as "Casual/Seasonal" instead of full-time. That means you lose your government benefits, but keep your terrible government salary and can work less than 20 hours per week (at a reduced salary commensurate with time worked.) Why? Because she took out a loan to go to a 100% online law school and doesn't want to end up "wasting the money" because she has to focus on work.

So to avoid the risk of losing whatever she paid to some scammy diploma mill, she guarantees a loss of about half her income by going down to 20 hours a week. Is this online law school also incredibly expensive? I can't tell whether she is trading a potential small loss for a guaranteed large loss, or whether she is investing a small fortune in a useless degree. I need to know precisely how idiotic this is, drat it!

I have no idea how much it costs, but she took out a loan for it and that is the reason she is giving for redesignation. Plus, how can an online law school not be BWM? I didn't even know you could do law school online-only. Can you do online-only med school?

I had a coworker that got an online law degree. I think he did okay with it though, he was already quite a legal eagle when it came to contract law. In his case, he didn't step down to working part time. He just worked full time while working on the degree at the same time. He was also a shop steward and very active in the union (the nature of his expertise being really useful for contract negotiation. He also had some sketchy consulting job for local medical marijuana dispensaries. The guy must've worked 100 hours a week doing various things, and as a result got burnt out pretty quick.

Yes, there are online medical schools. They're usually based out of the Caribbean, which is the traditional destination for kids who can't get into a US med school, won't give up on their [parents'] dreams of becoming a doctor, and have six figures of money to burn at a for-profit school that probably won't get them into the very limited pool of foreign medical residents.

I have a bad feeling online law programs aren't accredited by the American Bar Association or most state bars. Meaning you can get a law degree but can't actually practice law in most places. (There are a couple of states that basically say "Look, if you pass the bar exam and you're not a convicted felon, go be a lawyer or whatever.")

There is no medical school awarding the MD or DO degrees that is fully online accredited by any State Board of Medicine in the United States, the AAMC, or the ECFMG. Lots of schools record or stream their lectures for the convenience of students but there is no way to complete medical school without a large amount of in person, in laboratory, and clinical contact. There will not be completely online medical school at any point in the near future. You cannot practice medicine in the United States with such a degree, if it is offered anywhere in the world.

You could do most of the first two years of medical school online, but schools require physical exam classes, anatomy lab, and mini clinic rotations that obviously require in-person attendance. After that, the second two years require 60-100 hours a week in person getting various degrees of abused. Though online seems to be good at the abuse thing, so maybe that can be changed?
