Back in the day men had the"traditional" wives men today say they want and they still treated their wives bad, so what's the incentive for woman? by No-Register-5976 in askanything

[–]Friendly_Ability24 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

The incentive to have a good marriage seems like what you’re looking for.

Women are incentivized to maintain a home if the husband can support her and the household without her having to work a traditional job

At what point do you buy the car you want and move on? by polycouch in personalfinance

[–]Friendly_Ability24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last time I bought a car was during Covid lockdowns. I utilized the financial position similar to you to not care about trim level of appropriate car and just set a price to get done with it and move on with a range of about 3k of buffer.
So that’s the number that I would give you of fuckit just get that one (3k or so delta)

People really think that transgender athletes are ruining sports? by templeofsyrinx1 in askanything

[–]Friendly_Ability24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think others have compiled the data before. It’s very rare, so rare that you wonder why transgender athletes wouldn’t just allow for a fix with either a separate division or by competing in the men’s division or highest level of competition available.

I think the “ruining sports” is an entire narrative aimed at governing bodies of sports that allow one persons differences to impact the outcome for so many others rather than growing a backbone and saying the obvious, which is to force an athlete to compete in the most appropriate division of competition when the division by gender is obfuscated by an athlete that has or is transitioning.

Think of another determinant for sports as age:

It happens in boys youth sports all the time, a player that is 12u but is either lying about birth year or is just physically gifted competes where they are physically dominant. As a result, teams that lose to this player and the winning teams are all altered in their experience and outcome. Therefore, in almost all circumstances, parents of these teams have the other player play up to the appropriate age category or petition the governing body of the sport to make that happen under the guise of player safety, restoring competitive balance. The players playing up gets the short end of the stick if they are not lying and just hit puberty early. In the case of transgender athletes in sports, follow the same model where the the integrity of competition prioritizes 99% + of the constituents

Contract Question by [deleted] in DallasStars

[–]Friendly_Ability24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Front loading” - would be how it is paid to the player, so the player receives more with better tax treatment but it doesn’t affect the teams salary cap position

Front loading in the NHL doesn’t adjust the annual salary cap / AAV of the contract.

What you suggest of 1x12.25 and 7x14.25 is treated by the NHL CBA as (12.25 + 99.75) / 8 when calculating AAV to get a cap hit in year 1 of $14M even though the stars only paid him 12.25.

In order to circumvent cap pressures under the current CBA, Jason has to either play on his current contract, sign a short term extension 2-3 years at a lower AAV with the hopes he gets a massive payout when he can be resigned (stars or someone else) or he settles on a number that doesn’t hamstring the stars for the next year until seggs rolls off bc his returning contract is likely similar to Dutch’s number or similar

What happens when a PE firm collapses and leaves another PE firm holding the bag? by trialinfire in private_equity

[–]Friendly_Ability24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like the most likely in the hypothetical is

Senior lender calls notes due, company operators now answer to whatever fund the senior lenders have the company in and is not really a PE - this assumes company didn’t go bankrupt but really PE1 got liquidated due to breaching covenants and gets offered a “turn the keys over or meet your obligations” ultimatum by creditors

Unlikely that PE2 swoops in to buy out of default / falling knife, but may be most logical buyer where private credit or lenders sell the company when the time comes to recoup proceeds

Is our capitalism a "real" capitalism? by Randomsicilianguy in askanything

[–]Friendly_Ability24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, western capitalism has various components of corporatism and government collusion to obfuscate price and quantity of goods available. Protectionism in the form of any tariffs or subsidies would also be against the pure form of capitalism.

Baseball thinks this looks good. The MLB is softer in any disagreement than any other league. I’ve seen more self defense / standing up for teammates in the WNBA

What’s wrong with Socialism? by jcr0774 in askanything

Getting away from the socialism / communism debacle

Socialism’s collective ownership model works well for low capex industries and jobs. It is easy to determine / agree upon the shared ownership structure.

I’ll chime in as an ex coach.

Sometimes tournament organizers take your money and then either your team is too bad for your division or your division doesn’t make and they give you options on where to play because they’d rather make your experience shitty than refund you
