town with 6 cops and 6000 growlights
mircea_popescu: then send some people

Bugpowder: Diablo-D3: Why not go
to your state's bar association website and use
their legal referral service
to find a local laywer
that specializes in your field of question

the good guy. not sure what went wrong
there.

the class under us

then
Diablo-D3: mircea_popescu: I was
the
tallest kid in my grade until my junior year
Bugpowder: you need a corporate law
transactional lawyer
mircea_popescu: you could now provide free expert advice
to all
the potheads who saved you from each other.

that way
Diablo-D3: I'd be like "remember
that one
time I saved you from
that bully?"

Diablo-D3: smickles: all
the paperwork, all
the is dotted and
ts crossed
mircea_popescu: the state doesn't do property
taxes,
they're a local concern.
Diablo-D3: but Im pretty sure
the only property
taxes we pay is
to
the state
mircea_popescu: well... if
the yearly budget is like 10mn or somesuch maybe
they never issued paper
Diablo-D3: like, it was big news a few years back some dickhead graffitied on
the side of a building
Diablo-D3: and I dont
think we have local property
tax either
mircea_popescu: they get income from cell companies
towers, from billboards on
town limits
Diablo-D3: and Im not
taxed directly for power, so its on my bill somewhere
Diablo-D3: ahh, I dont pay for either of
those
Diablo-D3: mircea_popescu: I dunno, how DO
towns collect
taxes?
mircea_popescu: it's a
town witout revenue ? how does it pay fo
the mayor/town administrator
Diablo-D3: smickles: well, I'm
trying
to figure out how much its going
to cost
to get
this shit off
the ground
Diablo-D3: mircea_popescu:
town doesnt collect
taxes
though
mircea_popescu: and usually pension funds buy some sort of derivative off
the bonds
smickles: Diablo-D3: you're describing
the
typical american
town
Diablo-D3: mircea_popescu: yeah, but who buys
the bonds? where does
the city's income come from?
Diablo-D3: and like,
the high school
they built like 15 years ago was all done with federal grants
Diablo-D3: iirc for practicing law in
those states without having a lawyer from
those states on staff
Bugpowder: Diablo-D3: have
they ever finanaced any infrastructure improvements?
smickles: no need for legal zoom
to be a scam,
there's a big market for
that service
Diablo-D3: legalzoom is in
trouble in multiple states
Diablo-D3: mircea_popescu: my
town is old enough
that it was here before 1776
Diablo-D3: Bugpowder: fuck legalzoom,
that shit is a scam
Diablo-D3: mircea_popescu: why do you
think my
town issued bonds anyhow?
mircea_popescu: Diablo-D3 it's published somewhere, but you'll have
to go digging
Diablo-D3: mircea_popescu: how would I find
that out?
Bugpowder: You can get people
that know how
to do paperwork for you for cheap
mircea_popescu: and go by
their offices dressed nicely and being polite and ask
mircea_popescu: Diablo-D3 here's a
tip : if you live in a smallish
town see who your
town used
to advise on
their bonds
Diablo-D3: mircea_popescu:
the point if
they're btc or not doesn't matter
mircea_popescu: Bugpowder
the problem is
that in a field like "i wanna issue btc bonds"
the opinion of a lawyer
that makes 60k a month
Bugpowder: you could get by with a lower level of lawyer
then
Diablo-D3: like, if I want
to issue
those corporate bonds, I'm going
to need a lawyer
Bugpowder: I
thought you had ~ $5MM and 50-100k BTC
