And why in all unholy dystopia did they pick human brain cells over monkeys?Shut it down.

Are human brain cells significantly distinct from monkey brain cells? I agree that human brains are different from monkey brains, but are human brain cells really different in an important way from monkey brain cells? It seems to be how the cells are put together that is significant.

No, disgorgement still applies to any gains (even legal ones) made on funds obtained illegally.

But that assumes perfect information. What kind of idiot would admit to the authorities that they won $1000 using $100 they "borrowed" from the store?

With tariffs forcing a massive onshoring of manufacturing you will soon be able to take your $50k student debt and your degree and sit on an assembly line earning minimum wage

What onshoring of manufacturing? Some of Trump's highest tariffs are on raw materials which are critical for a manufacturing base. And if manufacturing does move into the U.S., which is doubtful, with its higher labor cost, more of the work will be done by robots, not by people.

What if you don't have any social media? I deleted all mine in 2021. I suggest others do so too. It makes life a lot better:

Even when you delete a social media account, the information is generally preserved. You'll probably be required to disclose all social media accounts which have at some time been under your control under penalty of perjury. Even if you can't unlock those old accounts, the information might still be accessible to the government. You might be required to sign a waiver granting all social media companies permission to disclose all information (including deleted posts).

I haven't seen the details of this new policy, but I'm sure you'll be required to fill out a form which says to list all social media accounts that are under your control, and at the bottom of the form will be a space to sign your name with the note (standard on federal forms) that it is an offense under section whatever of the United States Code to knowingly provide false information on the form punishable by a fine of not more than $250,000 and a prison sentence of not more than five years. So, you're taking a big risk. If, at any future time, there's an investigation which reveals the existence of undisclosed social media accounts which existed at the time you filled in the form, you are a felon and could be imprisoned.
