        If only we were allowed to do this. I’d hand you $10 then you hand me $10, $20 of sales was just made! Capitalism baby! Imaginary line must go up!

          You both get taxed on the $10 income unless you can write off the $10 you gave each other as a business expense.

            Yup. We already filed our taxes for 2026, zero in profits of course. wink We’re getting a bailout to keep the doors open, but we’re going to layoff 50% of our staff anyway. Also, both CEOs will be getting a raise equal to the laid off employees pay. But that’s just a standard practice for them being such hard workers.
