Airbnb home-owners are not subject to the room taxes hotels pay, which are a major source of revenue for cities like Los Angeles. Lyft and Uber were even issued a cease and desist order until their legality and licensing were established. The most important ingredient to share culture’s success is its power of accessibility.

His business, Haynes Business Accounting and Tax Services, “cease and desist from the performance of any act which would constitute the unlicensed practice of accounting.” This penalty is fair in my opinion.

This week 's readings got me a little shocked and angry. I never learned about mixed Black Native Americans in any of my history classes growing. We learned about Native Americans and African Americans as two different, separate groups.

First off, I was really

Nevada has long been home to libertarian ideals and consequently this state has tolerated prostitution, particularly in mining towns, since its inception. In fact, Mona’s in Elko, which has been open since 1902, is the oldest existing brothel in Nevada. This is the only state that didn’t pass wide-ranging prostitution laws, although pandering and street-prostitution were outlawed in 1911 and 1913. Nevada’s legislators obviously valued laissez faire concepts, but they also implemented some basic
