Slouching through the whole interview is a choice.   One applicant sat like a teenager watching TV. The whole time. Posture told me everything her résumé didn’t. Confidence is visible before you open your mouth.   Would you hire someone who can’t sit up straight for 30 minutes?

Default partnership rules force equal ownership even if contributions differ.   The statute does not care who put in the money or the work. A written agreement overrides that. Confirm the document with a lawyer and CPA. Pick A for partnership or B for LLC.   amazon.com/dp/B076VXL8TS #Founders #Partnership

Haley Stevens texted a Dem official Saturday: “I am voting straight Dem!!!!” Then Sunday endorsed the Republican. Schumer: despicable betrayal. #Midterms #MISen politico.com/news/2026/11/01…

“Can I ax you a question?” ends the interview. Every time I’ve heard it, the person left without an offer. Clear speech isn’t optional when the job involves talking to clients, judges, or the rest of the office. Slang and filler words do the same damage. What slang have you actually heard kill someone’s chances?

Single-member LLCs are disregarded for tax unless you elect otherwise.   They give liability separation but the IRS treats the income as yours. Multi-member LLCs file partnership returns by default. Confirm both sides with a lawyer and CPA. Reply with your current entity.   amazon.com/dp/B076VXL8TS #SelfEmployed #LLC

Asking if you need a suit already answered the question.   He called to schedule. I said yes, wear one. That was the last conversation we had. If you have to ask, you already showed me how you think about the job.   Tell me I’m wrong.   amazon.com/dp/B01F4CIR3K

Corporations require board formalities that many first-time founders skip.   Missed minutes or improper distributions can erase limited liability. LLCs are lighter but still need an operating agreement. Confirm the choice with a lawyer and CPA. Say what you would file tomorrow.   amazon.com/dp/B076VXL8TS #SideHustle #BusinessStructure

We will finally have oral argument today in the Trump criminal case. Judge Juan Merchan committed a series of fatal flaws in the trial. jonathanturley.org/2025/01/1… Not only was the legal theory of Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg absurd, but Merchan compounded the reversible issues with a series of equally absurd rulings, including allowing a non-unanimous verdict on the underlying criminal conduct...
