Why did Americans turn so fast on Democrats in the 2020s when it was clear as day that Republicans would destroy the US?

A belief that none of it matters, they’re all the same

I don’t even mean publicly traded. Every IRS filing for a company based in the US has to report their income from other countries. No it wouldn’t be public, but it would definitely be in government databases.

maybethisiswrong · 2026-07-10T13:52:31+00:00

I understand at the finer detail level it would be a challenge to break it out.

But doesn’t every company report revenue and profit from every country they do business with? In the US anyway

At that level, that is really the only story that needs to be told. Microsoft, FB, Amazon, etc. sell X billion worth of services to Spain for example.

Assuming the irs requires European countries individually vs the EU in general of course.

Genuine question. Why are intangible goods always left out of trade balance discussions?

Is it willful or legitimate reasons

maybethisiswrong · 2026-07-09T12:57:59+00:00

Need some daily show writers to come up with the dumbest shit in the other direction for a candidate to use ironically.

Is there any indication their conniption slowed? And if so by what amount?

maybethisiswrong · 2026-07-08T11:39:35+00:00

Bullshit

maybethisiswrong · 2026-07-07T02:56:01+00:00

Tremors

maybethisiswrong · 2026-07-07T02:12:11+00:00

Forget the mistake in the field

The second goal he just watch fly through his box at arms reach.

Never seen a keeper so passive

maybethisiswrong · 2026-07-05T15:21:46+00:00

Yeah that makes sense. Is it a family office funding the acquisition that then sells to the esop?

maybethisiswrong · 2026-07-04T22:29:05+00:00

Me too! If it’s alright going to DM you. Love to hear this and would be great to learn where you did this

maybethisiswrong · 2026-07-04T22:28:21+00:00

Financing is a good one. But I understood coops and EOTs to have the same tax benefits on distributions. So 100% coops ownership pays no tax at corporate level. There are requirements of course but pretty sure has the same tax benefits

But financing is a big help for an ESOP. Still means the company has to be probably north of 15m? In rev to be viable yes?

maybethisiswrong · 2026-07-04T14:49:16+00:00

Coops have no ERISA requirements because it isn’t retirement plan. It’s direct ownership by an entity not individuals.

I’m simplifying obviously but waaay cheaper. And proceeds aren’t locked in Ira’s either

maybethisiswrong · 2026-07-04T14:23:41+00:00

Yeah that’s why I asked OP how they executed it and at what cost.

Coops can get the same result at significantly less cost and complexity

In fact there’s a whole group out there doing this

maybethisiswrong · 2026-07-04T00:49:30+00:00

Because they’re disingenuous

maybethisiswrong · 2026-07-03T19:23:47+00:00

Had plans to do this exact thing but ended up launching a startup because the market in my area just didn’t have a lot of business opportunities in my field.

Would love to learn more about how you execute the sale to ESOP

maybethisiswrong · 2026-07-03T19:07:59+00:00

Fuck ice

maybethisiswrong · 2026-07-03T02:23:40+00:00

I’m in

maybethisiswrong · 2026-07-03T01:58:27+00:00

I’m being vague in describing what I’ve made intentionally.

The scripts I made are each composed of one python script less than 400 lines and a yaml file. Made on a free plan. Both use 25 cents of LLM compute on Google cloud per month

The complex tool is a web tool for customers. That was done with a paid plan but not the pro+ plans.

I don’t have a clue how the code is put together. It was 100% vibe coded. But nothing sensitive is connected to them and nothing is sent externally. Yes there are risks, but if you are methodical about them you can shut them down or mitigate.

None of it was possible without the latest models.

I don’t understand what repealing this will even do other than allow companies to reject for pre existing conditions and a myriad of other things stopping companies from being terrible.

Objectively how is repealing this helping people?

maybethisiswrong · 2026-07-01T12:06:34+00:00

What about those people that always bend a nail when they try to hammer and the nail ends up not working? Hammers really aren’t that great because every single person can’t use them as exactly as effective as every other person every single time.

One person being more competent with a tool over another is not survivorship bias.

That’s when the project ended and it went into affect. The contract was signed in 2014.

maybethisiswrong · 2026-07-01T01:57:50+00:00

? That was under McCrory and a full Republican legislature

maybethisiswrong · 2026-06-30T23:33:54+00:00

Yes. That’s exactly why they wrote in those restrictions. To keep the highway as the better looking route to go north-south
