So apparently Denmark paid out about $2 billion too much in tax refunds to foreigners who owned stocks in Danish companies. Why? They didn't verify that people who asked for the tax refunds actually owned any stocks or actually had paid any taxes on stocks they owned. Much of the money was paid out to the same people who just kept asking for more money.

Blow, hookers. Hookers, blow.

Where is the link to the request form?

I wouldn't be surprised if they're continuing the payments. They were warned about this in 2009 but even after that date they paid out at least $800 million and probably much more because the numbers for the last years aren't final yet.

Isn't $2 billion pretty much the entire Danish budget?

Not since they started harvesting refugee gold teeth.

I guess I could do what my cousin did with his oldest and send them to Liberty U

Talk about getting cheated out of a fun college experience...

University students should only worry about getting into the best faculties, getting the best grades, and getting the best jobs.

By that measure you can be very successful at Liberty. But youd be miserable having to sneak around so much to have a halfway respectable college social life. Or I would anyway.

That's why I don't have kids - by the time shit really hits the fan I will be dead and I don't have to care for my kids living through it.

You can pretty much ignore that shit when you go to school if you stay out of certain fields outside of a few requirements.

Man I was amused by the 'leftism all the time' stuff I got from my singular theatre class I had to take. But it was just one class.

Well that is what I did from 2009-2014. But I got to go home to my family every night so...

Often, getting the best jobs is the result of making connections in college...

I don't think anyone can disagree with that.  But how many people use that as an excuse to just have fun and end up not getting a decent job?  There is a difference between building up connections in your field (and I am not against that), and just doing whatever you like.

You talk as if there is a secret cult in every university that hands out all the best jobs and internships.  I think I have seen that movie premise before

Yeah ok being a grade obsessed recluse clearly led you to high achievement. Please continue to lecture the rest of us about how everybody should take this path

I only manage to put food on the table.  No idea what you mean by high achievement.  Don't believe Eddie Teach 

Grades are relative.  The success of the grade obsessed path depends on everybody else failing.  So I should actually encourage everybody else to forget about grades
