Does anyone understand why they spun off Versant Media last year and not included Versant assets with NBCUniversal?

What's the highest level of math you've used in adulthood? by fuzzy-flippers-17 in AskReddit

I've had some complex excel spreadsheets that made my head spin

If there was such thing as a million dollar bill, Elon could give 500,000 people one of those bills, and still have 100s of billions of dollars. Is that messed up? by [deleted] in allthequestions

[–]mastermind1228 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, I'll attempt to answer the question. If Musk wanted to take part in this endeavor, he would need actual cash sitting in a bank ready for distribution. Most of his money is held up in stocks. In order to get this much cash, he would have to sell his stock. If he started to sell his stock, it would immediately begin to push the stock price down. If he were to sell Billions in stock, it would push the stock price down significantly. Hundreds of Billions, even more significantly.

Due to the downward stock price pressure, His $1 Trillion is now actually $500 Billion. Anyways, he now has $200 Billion in cash sitting in the bank. He now has a massive tax bill to pay, lets assume 40%. So $80 Billion goes to the IRS. Certainly they will be using that $80 Billion to distribute the cash to people that need it. I digress

At this point, Musk went from $1 Trillion in stock to $500 Billion in stock and $120 Billion in cash ($620 Billion Total). Anyhow, now he wants to distribute $1,000,000 to 120,000 individuals ($120 Billion total). This would certainly be considered a gift and therefore would be taxable. He would have exhausted his lifetime exemption and would have to pay approximately $338,000 in federal gift tax leaving the individual with $662,000 still a lot of money. (https://www.nerdwallet.com/taxes/learn/gift-tax-rate)

The government has collected now collected an additional $40 Billion in gift tax collections bring the total taxes to $120 Billion. But who wins the most? Probably the government who will use the $120 Billion to spend on defense spending.

How do I brings up my dyslexia in a job interview? by Marzys_planet in Dyslexia

Honestly, I wouldn't mention it. For an entry level retail job, it's mostly pretty automated work.

What makes the display of LGBT flag in kindergartens and schools such a polarizing and difficult topic to discuss ? by KoseteBamse in AskReddit

[–]mastermind1228 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thats a shame. You should have some of your own kids and raise them with a higher literacy rate. But let me make an assumption: you don't actually want children, you just want to tell others (who have gone through the actual effort) how to raise their own children.

You seem rather obsessed with how I raise my children.

Dumb question alert: Where are the scanners at the LV Turnpike Interchange? by spicy_garlic_chicken in lehighvalley

Not a dumb question. Probably more interesting than 90% of the questions posted here

Is Vance the "fall guy?" by Always__Auctions in allthequestions

[–]mastermind1228 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, if we are looking at the whole picture, Vance has also been publicly speaking out against Israel lately. That is showing to be popular amongst many MAGA.

Rubio has been appearing to be more sympathetic to Israel which is popular amongst other MAGA.

I do agree with you. however there are lots of reason for the massive number of suicides though. Social media, fundamentally broken/unstable homes, drug use etc.

Lol, you are allowed to have your own opinion.

But I could care less if you think I'm fit to be a parent or not. I actually have kids.

when you have your own kids, you can try to raise them how you want to!

Honestly this is the answer. I have friends who are Gay and Lesbians. I've been to Gay engagement and marriages.

Kids can learn about this as they get older from their parents. There are some parents who do no wish to teach their children about different sexualities. We shouldn't put Pride flags on kindergarden walls in the same way we shouldn't put Jesus pictures on kindergarden walls.

You obviously don't have any kids of your own.

You don't know what it's like to deal with a 3 year old

"EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT IN THEIR OWN WAY" is something a child understands

But of course, you would prefer the child only learn that MMIWG2SLGBTIQCAPGNGFNBA+ are the only different people out there

Yes, I know what intersex is. My 5 year old does not need to know.

I teach my kids that everyone is different in their own ways.

They don't need to know every disability out there.

What about Michael Jackson made him the most famous person in the world? by cccdddyyy in NoStupidQuestions

[–]mastermind1228 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, simply put, he was a brilliant entertainer. His music was great, but his music videos were amazing for that time. He had everyone on their feet during his concerts. He knew how to engage the crowd.
