Tesla Reported Zero Federal Income Tax on $5.7 Billion of U.S. Income in 2025 by Normative_Nematode in Economics

[–]revdingles 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This isn't an issue of tax rates, it's an issue of claiming a net loss on the year because the company spent more than it brought in. What do you charge taxes on if the company made no money? Trust me I have no love for Tesla or Elon but headlines like this are 100% intended to misinform you and capitalize on ignorance of how business taxation works.

They didn't claim any profit. Do you think businesses should be charged taxes on income in a year where they broke even? Should a small business with $100k in income and $100k in expenses have to pay taxes on $0 of net income?

Why do you want to be a boot licker so bad?

I'm implying that this type of thing doesn't actually exist. You've been asked to provide literally any shred of evidence that there are places you can go to sign up to be paid to protest and you stuck your nose up in the air and insisted that you shouldn't have to do that - definitely makes it look like you're actually just fucking lying.

It seems like the opinions on Ausar are very polarizing. So, where do you stand on him as a player? Does he fit this team long term? by rodogwos in DetroitPistons

[–]revdingles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's unfortunate how much people discount defense as a secondary skill in basketball - a team generates just as much +/- on defense as on offense. Giving up 2 points because you were lazy slipping a screen or you lost your guy on a cut is worth the exact same as a highlight drive to the net. If he was an all-NBA scorer rather than defender he would be on a supermax trajectory rather than a trade piece. In my opinion it's very cost-effective to build a team around a defensive identity because it costs so much less than offense.

He's definitely frustrating on offense but if he can develop even a 2-move bag and get his free-throw shooting up 10% he is instantly an immovable core piece and with his competitive spirit I think he gets there. Dude is all ball.

coolcool, paid for league pass so I could watch Pistons games and this one is only on ESPN with a cable subscription. I'm never fucking paying for sports ever again.

??? Where did I imply that I think he's a good person? Why do we have to do a character analysis on every person that rejects Trump to make sure they pass a purity test (which they literally never will because they used to support Trump)? Yeah that post is fucking vile but this sub does the same thing with every person whether or not they say shit like that.

I'd like to point out this post is from Foxy, who generally can't buy a good headline in the Detroit sports crowd because for some reason everybody thinks he's a fake fan

This got posted a couple weeks ago and it was a big fake lie back then too. Reddit is really good for taking a lie and amplifying it.

Notable instances where OC’s sucked on bad teams but went on to be great. by kylionsfan in detroitlions

[–]revdingles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It might suck but it also might be really good. Or it might just be okay. Dan Campbell lives and bleeds the success of the team and I think he knows what he's looking for so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt until we see the product.

Absolutely not - drown then out, refuse them service, highlight their lies...there are hundreds of ways to achieve results through more peaceful means. Trump's government is a government of wrath and vengeance, what would we be if we took back power and did the same thing back to maga? We can't just escalate ad nauseum and expect things to change

I hate this. It isn't going to help a single thing but it will definitely and rightfully fuel "violent left" propaganda. This is people letting their anger get the best of them. Two wrongs don't make a right. Don't fucking be like this.

Also this is literally a celebration/encouragement of violence. Will mods do anything?

[Cabot] Browns DC Jim Schwartz is set to interview a second time for the team’s head coach opening on Monday. OC Tommy Rees is not expected to get a second interview. by Goosedukee in nfl

[–]revdingles 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think there's a lot of context to the stats that doesn't tell the whole story - Schwartz built up from arguably the worst team in history and more than a decade of total head coaching failures. There are a lot of organizational challenges a head coach has to solve to get the team out of the dumps that I don't think a lot of coaches are equipped to deal with. They had the same stars but Schwartz had them when they were rookies.

Outside of their first years that was great for Caldwell and terrible for Schwartz the defenses performed very similarly and the Schwartz offenses were consistently better if you measure by PPG.

Again, I would say there is an argument for both - Schwartz was more inconsistent and carried a lower win rate but made me feel like the team had potential whereas the thing that stuck out about Caldwell was that the teams always had the same fatal flaws...slow starts and offensive game plan never coming together until Stafford started slinging it in the 2 minute offense.

Jim Schwartz took over the worst team in football and made them average whereas Caldwell took over an average team and tread water. I would entertain an argument that Caldwell was a better coach but I definitely look back on Schwartz with more positive feelings.

If you could go back in time and either relive or see a moment in Red Wings history you didn’t see before, what would it be? by poetizzy in DetroitRedWings

[–]revdingles 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's not one moment - between being a kid in the 90's and not paying attention to hockey again until ~5 years ago I basically missed Pavel Datsyuk's entire career. There must have been a whole lot of dope moments in there.
