10,000 Maniacs

Originally published: April 2024

How big is the market for quirky international tax stories interlaced with pop culture references (usually music)?

When I reached 5,000 followers January last year (https://lnkd.in/gKC6WZq3), I thought that was pretty much the maximum. But I kept going, and even though I’ve now dialed back quite a bit (https://lnkd.in/eueNV9Wm), it seems the followers kept coming.

So now I’ve reached 10,000. I’m sure there will be plenty of tax stories to comment from time to time and I’ll try my best to make them still sound fresh and new. Part of me wanted to say “We’ve Only Just Begun”, “You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet” or “Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now”. Rather than such an aspirational message, I feel it’s more appropriate to enjoy the moment and not think too much over where all of this (my posts, international tax) is going to end up.

So here is “These Are Days” by 10,000 Maniacs (https://lnkd.in/g299CsCn). And the 10,000 maniacs? Well, you can guess who they are.
