Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body


For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Sunday morning, fire up the air fryer and park just outside of McD's. Selling hashbrowns at $1 a pop.

And get fined by the city for not having a food vending license. And the audited by the IRS.

The first point makes sense, that's why he needs to sell 10¢ trinkets for a dollar with a "bonus gift" of a hash brown lmfao

I don't see why he'd get audited by the IRS, first he'd need to make more than 600 off it and even if he did, as long as he reports it the IRS DGAF as long as they get their cut lmao

Just get a license and do the food safety course. It's not that hard.

[–] SoylentBlake@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago

A food handlers license, sure that's not that hard. A food VENDERS license? I've done that. I've opened restaurants from nothing, to where I was climbing thru the walls cutting out the path for the new hood.

There's an exponential fuckton of differences between the two.

And about $500,000-$2M eaaaaasy

Food safety license =/= food vending license

In the corporate world, that's known as "the cost of doing business". As long as the profit exceeds the fine, we're good. If the profits exceed the threshold, it would get claimed come tax time as "additional income". There'd be no audit because local PD doesn't report to the IRS.

If the profit IS good enough, I'd totally pay the fee to register as an LLC so I can do the "fancy accounting" and afford myself all the tax and corporate bonuses that come along with it.

Had I thought of it 5 years ago, I could have used the LLC to apply and get me one of those fancy COVID loans (that didn't need to be paid back). Though, I'll admit the money would have been invested in dividend bearing stocks and actually paid back at the end of the term; minus the profit I made off the money of course.
