Do you remember Francesca Gino's claim on her website that HBS analyzed the "wrong data file" in their investigation, and that a "real file" proved her innocence? HBS is now claiming that the "real file" was fabricated by Gino... and thus that Gino's claim was defamatory.

🚨 Big SCOOP 🚨 Tax revenue could fall by as much as **10%** this year, per sources, as taxpayers and businesses see the Trump admin as less likely to challenge tax cheats. That'd be **$500 BILLION** in lost revenue. It'd nearly double the tax gap in a single year.

Tax revenue could drop by 10 percent amid turmoil at IRS

Staff cuts and disruptions related to the U.S. DOGE Service have officials bracing for a sharp loss of revenue.

Tax SCOOP: Trump administration plans to cut staff at the Taxpayer Advocate Service -- the taxpayer help center -- by more than 25% These are jobs designed to help people struggling with their finances, identity theft or other tax issues.

Trump administration plans 25 percent staff cut at IRS taxpayer help office

The Taxpayer Advocate Service, which operates as an internal watchdog, would see deeper workforce reductions than the agency overall.

Empirical evidence that subsidies for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) resulted in consumers purchasing larger and heavier vehicles - which, on top, were seldom charged. The elimination of subsidies for PHEV would have led to a yearly reduction of 167,139 tons of carbon emissions in Germany.
