Lets hope the Supreme Court repeals the HC Bill as this 1099 requirement will fall with it since the HC bill has no severability clause. Dec. 16th, the federal judge in Pensacola, Fla. decides on behalf of the states whether this can proceed to the SC. He is a Reagan appointee so we do have hope. He can slap an injunction on the bills enforcement until it is decided in the SC but I think the injunction will only affect Florida.
Mandarins worked hard: 10-day work weeks and work days that often started at 5:00am. They oversaw the regulation of trade, managed the money supply, maintained security in the provinces, and settled legal disputes. Mandarins were well rewarded for their work. They enjoyed lavished banquets several times a week and often lived in luxurious homes with their own concubines and entertainers.
