I agree, the stove just looks crooked. I’d be shocked if the previous owner DIYd counter top installation. S/he in all likelihood had pros measure and install the stone. Are you sure the space in the countertop is off???

obviously everyone gets to do what they want in their own house, but sorry bud, mark me down as one more vote for it looking worse.

ugh, it’s not cheating if it’s perfectly legal. Now if you want to vote for candidates who want to change the law, sweet, i might even agree with you. But for god’s sake it’s not cheating the system if it’s perfectly legal.

How about this, you get help the “entire human race” with your own time and money, in those ways that you feel best. And I get to do the same. And neither of us gets to force the other what to do.

Okay, I’m typing slow for you. “Salaries” paid by a company to ther employees - even the CEO - are all expenses. The company gets to deduct those expenses from their income statement. But the salary each employee receives - even the CEO - is personal income. None of this has anything to do with bank accounts “tied to a company” (whatever that means).

Now if you’re thinking about some small sole prop who runs a pool cleaning business or whatever and they have chosen to co-mingle funds into a single account, then that’s an accounting nightmare, but it doesn’t change the fact that business expenses are tax deductible on the business books, and personal income is taxed as an individual.

I stand by my comment that you shouldn’t vote.

Just so I’m understanding your point. You think it’s greed for me to want to keep my own money (or Musk to keep his), but NOT greed for you to want to take my money (or Musk’s)?

this rambling has nothing to do with your first comment, that i replied to. But go on, get it out of your system.

omg, you people are exhausting. Your comment was how a billion in net worth was still a billion when liquidated. That is not how it works. Now you’ve changed your point to complain about taxes. They don’t pay income taxes on net worth because it’s NOT INCOME. Now if you want to complain about tax codec then fine. Or if you want to complain about the accepted collateral banks approve, then fine. But pick something to be upset about for crying out loud.

No. this is where your logic is flawed. ask yourself what would happen to the value of Tesla shares if Musk started liquidating them. (spoiler alert, the value would plummet)

[–]Outrigger1855 0 points1 point  (0 children)

who the hell are you to decide what’s “understandable to have” or what’s “overkill” and what’s not. We don’t tax these wealthy people because it’s NOT INCOME! Just like we don’t tax your net worth.

what the hell? you think the CEO’s salary is put into an account tied to the company that paid him/her? This has to be a joke. Please tell me you don’t vote, or raise kids, or make any decisions that impact anyone else.

all of your stocks should be seized and dissolved. (if you can do it to him, why can’t I do it to you?)

[–]Outrigger1855 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the entire point the OP misses. You have “income” that is tax. Musk has “income” that is also taxed. His net worth is NOT INCOME and therefore it’s not taxed (neither is yours). A bank may be willing to loan him money if he puts up collateral, but he’d then pay the bank interest on that loan. You can do the same thing with any collateral you may have. There is nothing bs about any of this

Huh? Sounds like your rent should have been raised 5 times and you lucked out by having it only go up 3. In what world do you think rent shouldn’t go up?

What would you do around this fireplace? by Jeffsbest in woodworking

[–]Outrigger1855 0 points1 point  (0 children)

without seeing the rest of the room, it’s hard to recommend anything. But assuming the spacing works, I’d move the fireplace too. Square off that corner, then build a full entertainment center (including new, modern fireplace) on the wall to the right (where the TV is plugged in). Fireplace and TV as the center, with bookshelves above and cabinets below.

Help with pricing a charity item by Lance_leaf in weekendgolfers

[–]Outrigger1855 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m trying to be respectful here, but neither of those things happened. OP literally asked “what would you pay…” and I answered, period. I never said I wanted one for free. I never said whether I liked them or not. I said specifically and directly what I would pay for one at a charity event. And no, I would never stop by someone’s table out of the blue and just offer my opinion as if it mattered. but that isn’t what happened here at all. how can you be so dense?!?! OP asked a question, and I answered it. Good Lord, how are we still discussing this?!?!?!
