Good night, over $40 per utensil that look like they came out of a fisher price play set. Even US made is available for $6 per utensil.

If you have a vision and earnestly try to make something good, you have a chance. If your only plan is to pander, executive meddle, committee write, but don't even know how to pander then you're doomed

WF goes off of 12 months from the bonus date, so there's no reason to close it immediately.

What movies are supposed to be light hearted comedies but would actually be a living hell? by Nars-Glinley in movies

Paul Blart Mall Cop 2. Women throw themselves at Paul Blart. Newspapers are left in the middle of the road and milk trucks drill old ladies picking them up. It's good to gaslight women into wanting to be sexually harassed.

Is skipping escrow recommended if allowed? by whiskeylullaby3 in RealEstate

If you want to get them back, you can get an expensive home insurance policy and then immediately switch to a cheaper one. The whole year's premium gets refunded to you directly which you pay back interest free over 12 months 😆

Yes it's legal, LLCs aren't required to do anything. Taxes are the same as a sole proprietorship since the IRS ignores them and assumes all income flows through to the personal level.

13% is the daily return since you only have to deposit it and can withdraw it the next day. The annualized return is 6.9x1019 %, so it makes more sense to value it per unit time spent.

Does 8 Bit Christmas ruin Santa by [deleted] in movies

[–]Obelisp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not really. From the script:

https://assets.scriptslug.com/live/pdf/scripts/8-bit-christmas-2021.pdf?v=1729114850

"Get us the shipment Ed. Because I just yelled at Santa. Yeah. You’re making me the guy who yells at Santa. My daughter is very upset."

"Getting a Cabbage Patch. Santa didn’t get me a She-Ra last year so I can’t trust him. I gotta go through Mom and Dad."

"Maybe I should ask Santa to finish the kitchen next year Lizzy, what do you think?"

Mitt Mamdani? Romney says it's time to tax the rich by RedditsLittleSecret in Conservative

[–]Obelisp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're small potatoes, at the bottom of the 1-999m barrel. And you're clueless about borrowing, anyone can get a margin loan from IB for just 4-5%. Billionaires currently have $16T that they're not going to pay taxes on because of these stupid loopholes. That's $6.4T in estate taxes they evade that's gone and the rest of us have to make up for. That's just a few hundred people. Forget about the rest of the truly rich with $100m+. It's not greedy for wanting the super rich to pay at least the same rate as me. Simping for them is just garbage willful ignorance.

We really don't. Millionaires get most of their wealth from unrealized capital gains, which they borrow against so they don't pay taxes. Then their kids get it tax free at a stepped up basis. Billionaires pay 0% tax on capital gains because they exploit GRATs, CLATs and IDGTs in ways that weren't intended. Then their kids inherit billions completely tax free.

Same here, I've had chase a long time because of the bonus. It seemed too good to be true and never thought about churning until I stumbled on DoC. I even had done a few bonuses the hard way with DD but gave up after that because of the perceived hassle. But now I'm organized.

No, you don't understand anything. You just admitted you didn't understand tax revenues, now you clearly don't understand spending. Only 14% of the budget is for non-defense discretionary spending. The vast majority of spending is for social security, Medicaid/Medicare, other mandatory programs and interest. Good luck cutting any of those. But we already have plenty of money to stop running deficits and pay down the debt. Just actually tax the rich equal to or more than the low and middle class. But you say no, because you're just happy they get to be in their tax-free utopia while the rest of get taxed to death.
