It begs the question, if Trump can use the same tax exemption twice and get away with it for years..
How widespread is this practice amongst the ultra-wealthy?
Is Jeff Yass, for example, financing the end of democracy & the termination of the civil rights of 167 million American women -- just to avoid tax audits?
Fun fact: "The Tragedy Of the Commons" is a hoax created by the white nationalist Garrett Hardin to justify stealing land from colonized people and moving it from collective ownership, "rescuing" it from the inevitable tragedy by putting it in the hands of a private owner, who will care for it properly, thanks to "rational self-interest":

“Paul Manafort, the longtime Republican strategist and chairman of Trump’s 2016 campaign, who had assumed unpaid role advising party officials on the nominating convention, has stepped aside.

Gotta protect the administrators from checks notes professors.
“A group of 11 professors arrived at Gibson Hall Friday morning to deliver an open letter signed by 250 faculty members that condemned the university’s response to a pro-Palestinian encampment and demanded it drop suspensions against seven students involved.
“Nine armed police officers stopped the group from entering Gibson.”
Post secondary education stopped being free when it started being used as a springboard for social mobility under the GI Bill with Vietnam War veterans who weren't white.
It was marketed by Reagan as a "tax revolt". It was really a war on democracy.
"I don't say this lightly - but the floods in #PortoAlegre, #Brazil, are looking comparable to what Katrina did to New Orleans in 2005 -- massive evacuations, water & power outages, key infrastructure damaged, parts of city, possible long-term consequences."—Brian Winter
Former Trump attorney and misogynist Brennan: "Having sex with a guy you met a couple hours earlier in a Lake Tahoe lounge is untoward..."
I love, LOVE LOVE kasie for cutting in and letting Brennan have it before he was let off the hook for his slut shaming of Stormy Daniels.
