100% what it is. Connected to JRA.

Edit to add: there are degrees of laundering. One degree is loophole-"legal" through tax deductions and tax-exempted gifts.

A... random....example would be when a church "gifts" large amounts of money to an individual. And individual builds a business with gift. And then "gifts" money back to church. Skirting taxes. And then business owner gets special treatment from charismatic church that worships wealth/"gifts" from god, and business man is then also worshipped as a "good business man." Feeds the narcissism and the wallet.

We need a documentary.

I am not doubting this happens. I know it does, I just would like some hard evidence in this particular case.

:) maybe somebody will make the documentary. If Springfield News paid actual wages, a good investigative journalism team could do it.

I thought the same thing when I first saw it! There's barely any cars in the parking lot everyday when I drive to MSU.

Every time I've been there's at least 5 other people in the lobby with me and a steady stream of people coming and going.

They're also closed Fridays or Mondays or some shit. They have a weird work week.

No laundering, just severely overpriced dental work and underpaid assistants.

What? I had Invisalign done their and not only was it cheaper than offices in town, but they were actually known for their Invisalign work. Have you been there?

I think they have Invisalign deals because they’re like a model or something like that. A lot of people are told they need more work done than they do and are very overcharged. Haven’t been there for dental work, but I’ve had friends get super high quotes for work they needed. As cleaning staff, I’ve just seen too many of them drinking on the job to consider going there for any work.

Do you think I’m lying? They have cocktail hour every like Tuesday or Thursday night and they go on weekend retreats sometimes where they spend all morning pregaming. I saw a surgeon walk out of a suite with a truly once. They have a giant fridge constantly stocked with alcohol, and they throw weekend parties where I’d take out several trash bags just full of alcohol trash. And like fine, have fun off the clock, but I can’t tell you how many week days I came in to clean at 5pm and found bud light cans in random trash cans. Not to mention they all drive themselves home after their cocktail nights.

I think a car wash would be easier and cheaper than sending people to dental school for years.

Yep. Associated with the Blue Cat.
