I guess it may depend upon what someone would categorize as "affiliate income".

Some bloggers got into setting up LLCs for their blogs as the $$$$ signs filled the eyes, courtesy of revenue coming in from bank card referrals and other advertising/marketing/affinity partnerships sending money their way. ETA, I looked it up and Gary was a sole proprietor LLC when he took ~$21k in loan forgivness. https://projects.propublica.org/coro...eff-4961108309 Matthew was self-employed when he got ~$7k: https://projects.propublica.org/coro...fly-7594087310 DansDeals an LLC when he got ~$50k: https://projects.propublica.org/coro...llc-3573298607 Travel Codex LLC: https://projects.propublica.org/coro...llc-1098908710 Not sure why they wouldn't move to an S corp if they were making serious money for tax avoidance purposes. |
So, Gary .....ing about the government every chance he can get and then taking in the dough from it, talk about hypocrisy hey?
And Dan gets the government to forgive more than what he got is clearly a DD kind of hacking smh... |

My wife and I took several bites at the PPP from our various companies. My software company also just got a tax credit/refund for not laying anyone off under the ERC. Free government money, baby! I couldn't find any PPP for Ben. Maybe they did it through Ford - I don't know his last name. Maybe not not clever/aware enough to take free government money? And Dan gets the government to forgive more than what he got is clearly a DD kind of hacking smh... |

Amazing...clickbait, wow!
"Passenger Sat On Flight Watching Porn Of His Wife – And He Thinks That’s Ok" |

Now others will follow with the same thoughts...... This could redefine the way we look at p*rn and flights .... Imagine being quoted this headline as ouevre at the Nobel Price Ceremony or even at the Freddie awards ...., |

The part I found interesting was "I am not traveling."

Someone who travels by air a couple of times every week most weeks of the year may think that not traveling by air for a month is the equivalent of “not traveling”. All while someone else may have a different idea of what constitutes “not traveling”. Maybe at around the time of writing that “I am not traveling” thing a doctor or family had suggested or supported that he be grounded for a bit. |

Jerry Springer has died, but the tabloid-like elements inspired by his life as a TV entertainer live on on VFTW.

GUWonder : you made me choke on my cereal this morning out of glee :)
although: VWTV = National EnquirerSubject:https://viewfromthewing.com/passenge...with-this-one/ But only at OMAAT: -True Jerry Springer style- you have commenters DCS and UA-NYC, throwing the chairs / furniture if the subject is "love showdown Hyatt vs Hilton......" Makes the Steve Wilkos show pale by comparison ...l (1 month of watching American talkshows have given me an interesting new lease on life - utterly medically fascinating - a way to spruce up an equally abysmally dull conversation in the waiting room! |

As I recall, the PPP loan disclosures showed that most bloggers were operating as a sole proprietor or LLC.

Given what they pay, is anyone surprised that the blog follows the Party Line? Too much public dissent from the Party Line, and there goes what little job security there is in such organizations. |
