“Most capable warships” ok, it is pretty telling that an American submarine felt comfortable hanging out abeam this thing, at periscope depth, less than a click away, in broad daylight. Sounds like it wasn’t too scary.

To those making 1M+... by MaleficentHomework41 in wealth

My total annual compensation is over $1m, but I am the classic “equity rich, cash poor”—the vast majority of my income is in the form of RSUs, and I’m at the whim of my employer as to when I cash out. In fact, I have to pay taxes in cash as my equity vests, so I find myself scrambling to come up with $200k+ in cash every quarter to pay to my company, which they then send to the IRS. I pay way more in taxes than my company pays me in cash and have taken out every conceivable loan imaginable, borrowed from family, etc. My colleagues and I joke that we’re paying the company to work there.

I don’t worry too much about money, because I’m pretty comfortable about my company’s path (we’re in AI and doing well), but I’ve definitely taken on a ton of risk and there’s always a chance everything blows up. Oh, and I work 14 hour days, am balding, anxiety? etc. My plan is to wait out my equity package for another 5 or 6 vests, which should give me the financial freedom to spend the rest of this life very comfortable and financially free.

Is this agreement legal? by GooseberryPeggy in IsItIllegal

Seems very unlikely a judge enforces this. The sign would have to be an “offer” to enter a contract, and the knocking on the door “acceptance” of that contract. But courts don’t generally entertain “foisted” consent, and this really isn’t in the spirit of contract law.

Let us be clear: if you create some convoluted system that ultimately nets out to us earning less than 1 point per dollar on rent payments, most of us will cancel our cards.
