You have no idea how much grief the money laundering regulations bring into my work. They have no de minimis limit

de minimis is a technical term meaning, "if it's below this amount don't worry about it" Under money laundering rules not only is a 1p problem technically reportable (say a shopkeeper gives 1p under in change) but theoretically if I could reasonably be aware of it and don't report it I could actually go to prison.

Truly the law is a ass. (not a typo. That's how Dickens wrote it)

Cold Topic

A thread most controversial, that’s what I want to start
Full of impassioned arguments, of posting from the heart
And for this stimulation all will be thankful to me
On come on everybody it won’t work if you agree
