bearishgurl — the Covered California thing doesn’t make sense. At least in NY, you can buy insurance through the exchange WITHOUT asking for a subsidy. At that point, they don’t really care about your income.
Also, with the realtor example, aren’t most salesmen paid on 1099? That’s not reported till the end of the year, not reported monthly.
Trump’s wives — I’m much happier dating 1st and 2nd generation people. That’s all I can say. Mail-order would be a bit of a stretch, but it’s easy to meet women who aren’t American in a city like NY or LA.
