My recollection (I’m not checking) is that congress passed a law restricting the deductibility of private air flights, but that there’s widespread fraud in the form of “security consultants” advising boards that such flights are necessary for security purposes and so they are deducted anyway.

It’s pretty unreal when you think about it that our culture has not small cadres of credentialed, professional liars for hire. Not just for CEOs either, think about the fake service pets for another example.

Is this what the kids call late stage capitalism?
