Re: Mr. Donald Trump and/or Mrs. Hillary Clinton should distinguish between corporate and personal taxes

The U.S. taxes worldwide income regardless of residency on its citizens. So if you are living in Hong Kong, for example, you pay Hong Kong tax. If they tax you less than the U.S. than you would have paid, you need to pay the U.S. the difference. If you want to completely avoid paying the US tax comp...

How should one discuss politics?

Does not matter how hard one tries to avoid politics, it finds its way to a dinner table; an office; a meeting room... Why is it so hard? We all have different opinions and sometimes strong opinions. How should you approach the subject if you must? Surely there are many more and I look forward to yo...

Re: Art should be appreciated/valued based on its merits, not on artist.

It is hard to measure the value of a piece of art.

North America elementary and junior high schools to have more STEM options

Our elementary schools have plenty art programs. In junior high they still almost only offer food, fashion, art and drama as options. There are some robotics, science and computer programming in senior high, but too late and not nearly enough in depth and width. If young kids aren’t introduced to th...

Why is the dialogue so quiet and action so LOUD!

In movies, series, one can’t hear what a person is saying clearly so one turns the volume up.
