Someone should let her know that Philips has an integrated iron and ironing board that retails for 1300 Euros.

you can even get, for a bit less money (650 pounds sterling), a home version of those vacuum-based ironing boards that professional laundries use:

This trader ought to reacquaint himself with the term ‘political risk’. A few changes in the laws can ruin people like him.
Remember the recent freakout when somebody in the white house mentioned the words ‘transactions tax’?

The point of international business class is not that ‘international professionals’ deserve it but because the travelers in question work long hours and need to get some sleep on the flight. The flight costs more, but is cheaper than paying the ‘international professional’ to sleep off the jet lag for a day at a nice hotel.
What is interesting is watching how this benefit, which was intended to be for the sake of the employer, becomes a status marker for relatively powerful employees and becomes more luxurious and more expensive as the kleptocracy expands and displaces the old economy.
In any case, principled journalists are not going to get put in business class by honest publications. Neither are things McMegan is familiar with.

Jim Lindgren, the guy who came up with this cute ploy, will have a grand time explaining in NRO or Volokh.com how he never meant to have the Fitzgerald brothers violate a half dozen laws in the course of enacting it. Since he won’t allow comments on his VC posts it may turn out that nobody can ever pose that question to him directly.

The law you cite deals with registered property. This is an alternate system that sees little use. Recording is not compulsory, unless you want to make sure your secured interest is protected. The risk for the banks here is that it is not. They are free to take such chances if they are willing to take the risk.
