    New Tax Law – a new tax law could make trades for NHL teams in the United States more difficult. According to the New York Times a new tax law could mean that teams will face capital gains taxes every time a player is traded. “The law changed a corner of the tax code that mostly applies to farmers, manufacturers and other businesses that until recently could swap certain assets like trucks and machinery tax-free. But by adding a single word to the newly written tax code — ‘real’ — the law now allows only real estate swaps to qualify for that special treatment.” “We are looking in to it,” commissioner Gary Bettman told Sportsnet on Tuesday

      So? It's about high time it's treated as such. Especially if people are commodities, like we're in the slave days or something.

        Why only nhl?

        If it's to another country the blue jays could lose a lot of trading partners?

          Yes, poor NHL players, barely able to scrape by on their meager slave wages. They go into that job, thinking they'll only ever have to play in that one location and they could never go to another team. They're all completely blindsided by the business model to which they've become indentured servants.

              Doubtful. The cities will be the last places where shopping dies. Ma and Pa Kettle can buy anything they want from mass production online conveyor belts. The type of shopping that people do in the real cities is still a whole cultural "be seen" thing. It is it's own world.

                About the "no overtime" thing at my plant: well, that might have worked for the holidays. But when you fall behind, it's "oh. Would you mind staying a little later?"

                      My kid just rented a one bedroom apt in Brooklyn for 2200 a month. Nice neighborhood by the pics, still 1.5 hrs to his job at JFK but only 45 minutes for his GF
                      I swear there ain't no heaven but I pray there ain't no hell.
