It’s called the wood wide network. No info on whether or not there is a fake news problem, trolls, or fraudsters there. They probably have bugs and pests.

This is bad news …
In a five-to-four decision issued today, the Supreme Court ruled that states can make online businesses collect sales taxes — even if they don’t have a physical presence in that state.
Today’s ruling overturns a decision from the Court in 1992 that paved the way for the explosion of online retail in the United States.
At issue was the Quill Corp. v. North Dakota decision, which ruled that companies need to have at least some physical connection with a state for that state to require that company to pay taxes.
Today’s ruling caused publicly traded e-commerce company share prices to tumble, with Shopify, Etsy, Amazon, eBay, Alibaba all recording losses in midday trading on their respective U.S. exchanges.

Great White Hunter and Trapper Gary posing with his latest kill. I have decided to name the dead mouse Cecil Jr. in honor of Cecil the Lion from last weeks internet outrage over the lion’s death and rage at the dentist that killed him. Why let an internet outrage meme go to waste?

I’ve had a simple html web page on domain dagnygromer.com for years and years, the idea being one should “own” one’s name online. Easier when one has an unusual name, of course. Anyway I have redesigned my personal lading page, have a look if you like.
