The killer who killed 20 children
The suspected gunman’s parents divorced in 2009 when he was 17 years old.
His former grandmother said she remembered Adam as a young child but didn’t know him as a teenager.
His parents had separated “years” before they divorced, she said.
The suspected gunman was a “socially awkward” teenager, a neighbor said.
The suspected gunman was kind of a loner and shy, a neighbor said.
His former grandmother ex-husband, who died in 2010, was a widower when she met him, with children and grandchildren of his own.
They married in the 1990s and divorced in 2001, she said.

Our politicians have a hard time to figure out how it's working.
Start ups have a loss making initial development without any access to
bank loans, they have many founders vs one owner, have many shareholders
(founders, friends & family, angels, VCs…) vs a few. Our
politicians, who are mainly civil servants or doctors and lawyers, are
far away from the startup scene and have a hard time to figure out how
it's working.

Why Charitable Giving is a tax deduction?
Why Charitable Giving is a tax deduction?
Why the complete elimination of the charitable deduction has not been achieved?
Because it is the main tax break employed by Warren Buffett and other wealthy taxpayers.
Total giving to charitable organizations and foundations was $298.42 billion in 2011 (about 2% of GDP) , 90% given by individuals (because corporations have better tax breakers).
