Hey, let’s debate international tax policy! The United Nations has released an advance version of a report from Secretary-General António Guterres titled “Promotion of Inclusive and Effective International Tax Cooperation at the United Nations,” which explicitly criticizes the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development’s proposed base erosion and profit shifting 2.0 reforms, which in turn obviously means that zzxzxvcaspppmmmdzzzzzzzzzz.This is the problem with talking about taxes, especially taxes on international corporations. In a famous essay 100 years ago, H.L. Mencken argued that the subject of taxation should be “eternally lively; it concerns nine-tenths of us more directly than either smallpox or golf, and has just as much drama in it.” After all, with the possible exception of sex, there’s nothing that mesmerizes human beings more than money and who’s getting how much.Yet somehow, as Mencken said, taxation and related topics remain “swathed in dullness.” It’s har...Van Gisbergen hoping to build on momentum from Chicago win in 2nd NASCAR start

These are busy days for the three-time Supercars champion, busier than anticipated when he started pondering a move to NASCAR.Everything changed for one of New Zealand’s most popular drivers when he posted an impressive victory on the streets of Chicago.“A few other guys in the field dropped me a message after the race, which is cool, and just the reach that race had,” the 34-year-old van Gisbergen said. “People I hadn’t heard from for years, racing royalty and stuff. The amount of messages (I had) — winning a Supercars championship — I’ve never had such a response from so many people.”He has become so popular that Trackhouse Racing opted to bring back van Gisbergen for Sunday’s Brickyard 200 ...Suarez holds off Reddick for Brickyard 200 pole, van Gisenberg qualifies 8th

Bayern’s also a Champions League contender. Tottenham isn’t playing in Europe at all this season.“Buzzing to have signed for such a massive club with an incredible history, can’t wait to get started!” Kane wrote on his social media channels.The 30-year-old Kane could lift a trophy — though hardly a major one — on his first day at Bayern if he plays in Saturday’s German Super Cup season-opener against Leipzig.
