That is rather suspicious behavior from the IRS. How often do they send agents to taxpayers' homes for technical, not monetary, aspects of a filing?

This is how the third world operates, the government is the enforcement arm of the ruling party. Good to see it happening in the first world.

From the HN guidelines:

Off-Topic: Most stories about politics [...] unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. [...] If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.

its on TV ?

What channel ?

The IRS making house calls seems to be a new phenomena, no ?

Is the only answer at this point just accelerationism? Is the fastest way to clean out our institutions just to run them into the ground?

[singleshot_ → eldritch_4ier]

If you want to run institutions into the ground, they probably aren’t your institutions.

[eldritch_4ier → singleshot_]

They already aren't my institutions, they've been captured by pure corruption. Can that corruption be cleaned up any other way?
