The banks, however, don't look at it that way even though we get T4s (personal income statements) at the end of the year from the company.
In the US, there is no way for a bank to know. The banks aren't given access to stock records. Corporations are private in the US, stock records are secret until subpoenaed by a court.

The catch with being self-employed is the difficulty in getting loans and mortgages. At least, up here in Canada it's a pint of blood, the first born, and signing off on the second if need be.
In the US you incorporate. Then you aren't self employed, you are an employee of a company in which you invest.

Their first step in the right direction is to push the VPN nomenclature without ever mentioning P2P file sharing.
It's just a VPN. P2P is a file transfer thing. This is a VPN thing. Not really related at all. This is like ZeroTier.
I understand file sharing is just a rider in the transit system, but can you imagine how software piracy will take off when everyone is wearing a cloaking cape? ie; Mesh-VPN
People don't, though. Mesh VPNs were standard in the 1990s and companies like Pertino and ZeroTier have made them crazy accessible and basically no one uses them.

I wish that we could post it here. So crazy. And just so angry that Windows 10 had issues. Angry at us, for Windows issues. Issues she had before she called.

Just listened to someone who started crying and said that she just didn't care about anything anymore because she couldn't get the Windows 10 1909 update to work.
Most dramatic customer service call I've ever heard.
Were you the recipient of said call or overheard it?
It gets recorded for quality assurance. She was ranting about some of my guys, so I got to listen in. OMG what a loon.

Seems to be if we remove the mirror list, then select manually an https site, it works.
