Because of the tax laws, I think, I didn't read the article but I think I read a similar one. I guess tax laws are crazy for people living abroad but are still American citizens

This is about expatriates though, wouldn't apply.

Probably because of different reasons. Unfortunately some fucksticks likely have very bad ones.

Ever seen one of those nature shows where two male animals compete to establish dominance?  I'm at a "social gathering" and two guys at my table are doing it.  I'm starting to expect one of them to head butt the other any minute.

I plan to get wasted on free margaritas and watch the show.
