當唐納德·川普利用破產來保護他的財富免受債權人的追討時——但你卻無法利用破產來保護你的房屋免遭取消抵押贖回權，或保護你的學生貸款免遭工資扣押——這是因為破產制度已被像特朗普這樣的人操縱。

當川普的總統競選團隊宣稱他的房產價值連城——試圖以此證明他的商業成功——但他的房產稅申報表卻將同樣的房產描述為幾乎一文不值時，這是因為像唐納德·特朗普這樣的人操縱了稅收制度。

Nori Used as a Wrap for Sushi
nori
Paper-thin sheets of dried seaweed that can range in color from dark green to dark purple to black. They have a sweet ocean taste and are popular at Japanese meals. Nori is generally used for wrapping sushi and rice balls. When finely cut it serves as a seasoning or garnish. It can be purchased toasted (labeled yakinori); if purchased plain, it is usually lightly toasted before being used. Nori that has been brushed with soy sauce is called ajijsuke-nori. Japanese markets and some supermarkets carry nori either in plastic packaging or canned. All nori is very rich in protein, vitamins, calcium, iron and other minerals.
