April 24, 20242 yr https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2024/04/24/statement-from-president-joe-biden-on-clemency-actions-2/ Quote America is a Nation founded on the promise of second chances. During Second Chance Month, we reaffirm our commitment to rehabilitation and reentry for people returning to their communities post incarceration. We also recommit to building a criminal justice system that lives up to those ideals and ensures that everyone receives equal justice under law. That is why today I am announcing steps I am taking to make this promise a reality. I am using my clemency power to pardon 11 individuals and commute the sentences of 5 individuals who were convicted of non-violent drug offenses. Many of these individuals received disproportionately longer sentences than they would have under current law, policy, and practice. The pardon recipients have demonstrated their commitment to improving their lives and positively transforming their communities. The commutation recipients have shown that they are deserving of forgiveness and the chance at building a brighter future for themselves beyond prison walls. Like my other clemency actions, these pardons and commutations reflect my overarching commitment to addressing racial disparities and improving public safety. While today’s announcement marks important and continued progress, my Administration will continue to review clemency petitions and deliver reforms in a manner that advances equal justice, supports rehabilitation and reentry, and provides meaningful second chances.

April 25, 20242 yr A tax on unrealized capital gains is stupid. But here's a pro-tip: If you've been complaining about Dollar Tree stores closing down, you don't need to worry about a tax on unrealized gains.

April 25, 20242 yr Yeah, really stupid. Often there isn't even any realistic manner in which to sell shares in a private company.
