What I would have done would be that he'd have to come clean about the prank to the girl and apologize. Then as an apology offer money for a fine dining dinner at a central location on his expense from his monthly allowance. He wouldn't be at the dinner.
What a dimwit son, I would have made him do all the chores in addition. 😡
@rbreich a reduced tax rate meant that multinational corporations like Apple could repatriate funds held overseas at 21% taxation vs. the greedy 35% where the government were actually getting 0% because the funds were just being held overseas. 35% corporate tax is/was higher than most any other country. Stock buybacks help boost share prices, which helps increase returns for shareholders that include large institutional investors who offer 401K and IRA investment for retirement plans.
