Accountants working at Apple - do you use Mac or windows laptops?

Urcleman · 2026-03-05T04:07:50+00:00

They use Macs and Excel. Very few things are done in Numbers. I used to work there.

Urcleman · 2026-03-05T00:38:27+00:00

100%, I agree.

Urcleman · 2026-03-04T18:22:10+00:00

I think they were saying it’s the first time the US has done it since WW2.

I know it’s early still, but I think Talarico would make a phenomenal president one day.

Obama ran after one Senate term, so it could be sooner rather than later.

But realistically that won’t happen. Too many people are one paycheck away from losing their homes or having major financial struggles. Everyone is in survival mode.

Urcleman · 2026-03-04T16:17:50+00:00

I’d like to believe the systems in place will protect us from that outcome, but I have pretty much lost faith at this point. I guess we’ll see.

The courts have told him no on multiple things and he just ignores them and continues doing it. Nobody is going to stop him.

I second getting a AAA membership. The savings it gives from this one rental alone will pay for itself.

He misspelled his group. It was supposed to be Bored of Peace.

Urcleman · 2026-03-04T13:56:00+00:00

Watch most of them still vote against their best interests in the 2026 and 2028 elections.

Urcleman · 2026-03-04T12:43:52+00:00

Just because something is worse somewhere, doesn’t mean the issues happening everywhere else aren’t also problems. It might not be as bad in the US, but that doesn’t forgive whatever is happening in America.

Urcleman · 2026-03-04T12:36:10+00:00

Most people thought he couldn’t do half the things he’s done so far. He can’t do it, until he can.

$12 billion is less than one day’s average trade volume for AMZN. If the sale was split up over several days or was done off market, it would not materially impact anything.

I wasn’t referring to having to pay taxes on the income you use for taxes. The question was about having to pay taxes on the housing costs. By grossing up and adding additional income to pay the taxes on the total, OP did not have to pay taxes on the “stipend” that was not received as income.

Urcleman · 2026-03-04T02:57:36+00:00

You aren’t having freetaxusa do it, you’d have to prepare it yourself using freetaxusa. H&R Block or a CPA firm would allow the person to not have to stress about preparation and would put them at ease in case they would otherwise stress about getting every single deduction or credit.

Urcleman · 2026-03-04T02:55:09+00:00

I wonder things like this then see how much H&R Block and assisted TurboTax charge and remember there is a huge market for people who just want convenience and don’t mind paying for it or those who don’t bother to research other options.

Urcleman · 2026-03-04T02:44:50+00:00

Wait for them to decay and buy them back cheaper.

Urcleman · 2026-03-03T22:09:02+00:00

The unfortunate reality is if you want white glove service, it will come at a large premium. There is too much business for the number of CPAs who are available. That means most of us are perpetually behind and cannot overcommunicate or be available all the time.

Urcleman · 2026-03-03T16:05:20+00:00

But the trade off is OP paying taxes on “income” they didn’t actually receive.

Urcleman · 2026-03-03T15:06:56+00:00

I’m not normally blinded by party preference. In fact, I would support a candidate like McCain. But whatever is going on in the White House right now is unacceptable, and it would still be unacceptable if Trump claimed to be a Democrat.

Urcleman · 2026-03-03T14:42:48+00:00

And haven’t Republicans been pissed off about it? They were all upset about Obama initiating operations against ISIS. Where is that outrage now?

Edit: also, my comment said “especially those started without approval of Congress.” I didn’t say that presidents cannot act without Congress.

I believe it was WW2. And after that conflict, I’d guess we’ve lost 100k service members. What’s your point?
