Sure, in some cases, but so does milking overtime.

Are they able to deduct the market value of the rental, or just the taxes and maintenance costs? If it's the former, I think we've identified a big part of the problem.

What kind of fucked-up hypercapitalist mindset are people in that they feel the need to treat everything as an investment? These were emergency medical supplies. What the fuck did you expect, to turn around and sell them for a profit after the pandemic was over?

No, it's really not unclear. I think we all have a pretty good idea of where it went.

I know NY "conservatives". They don't give a fuck about conservative principles, they just want to have their way and think everyone else should also have their (the NY conservatives') way. They have no regard for any other cultures or ways of thinking, and would really prefer if they didn't exist at all. So yeah, "fascist" is a pretty good description of their world view.

This guy's a completely dysfunctional sociopath. He should be heavily medicated and under professional supervision, not taking part in running the country. The whole situation is fucking nuts.

And now they're going to have to pay a fine that's probably a fraction of what they made from the fraud.

Conservatives don't actually give a fuck about people's welfare or safety, they just want to live in their right-wing alternate reality where they and people like them never do anything bad, and the only bad stuff happens far away to and by those filthy "other" people. And they're willing to sweep every god damn thing they can't blame on the "other people" under the rug to keep pretending, no matter how many actual real-world problems it causes.
