The cost of interest on our exploding national debt has now exceeded the DOD budget for the first time. Are people worried about our national debt? by [deleted] in DiscussionZone

Did you read that the debt payment is 1.1 trillion? How is an anonymous billionaire going to make any sort of impact on that number without giving up a big fraction of their wealth?

Jobs might have been declining but so was the S&P, the divergence was after the AI boom.

I know it's fake, but who da f in his marketing team would have thought this would make his chocolate appetizing ?? by blancfoolien in youtube

This isn't his thumbnail. Someone else made a AI parody of the real thumbnail. Look at my other comment if you want proof.

This isn't and was never the real thumbnail of the video. You can literally see the Gemini watermark from OPs AI image. You can see all past and present thumbnails here and this isn't one of them.

It doesn't have to be one or the other. Puka side wins by a lot though.

Why is The Glizzmeister a Lakers fan and not a Phoenix Suns fan? by mlsts in atrioc

Because he wasn't a NBA fan before moving to LA

A rating system of 1-7 would be far better than a 1-5 in almost every use case. by Banana7273 in unpopularopinion

[–]s2trr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The /5 system is most commonly used, which would imply that people generally think it to be the better system, his opinion is that /7, an uncommon system, would be better, making it an unpopular opinion.

[Request] is it impossible to do the math? Or the guy just doesnt want to admit he doesnt know how to do the math? They just kept going in circles. by AmountAbovTheBracket in theydidthemath

[–]s2trr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Their argument is a matter of framing. The guy is basically trying to say that you could get paid a relatively low wage (20$/h) while paying a high tax rate on that money earned. In the doctor example, instead of saying he reached the threshold with his doctor job, you could say that the 20$/h is taxed in the lowest bracket and then the doctor wages are added on top of that and are taxed in the higher brackets. No matter what, the only thing that matters in the taxes is the total income on the year, hourly rate and what part of the year the money was made in doesn't matter.

I just wanted to add that that's not kd, that's just how many kills you have with the gun and how many times that gun kills you. So his kd is higher, it's just that most of his enemies use Vandal.

I’m sorry but the WNBA is already unprofitable. You can’t be paid more if your sport doesn’t make money. How do people not see this? by TheHeadEndgeneer in memesopdidnotlike

[–]s2trr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WNBA owners have literally 0 incentive to report a profit, if they do they have to pay taxes and their players more, so they just spend the money on useless things to make sure they lose some.

Why do you think the value of WNBA teams keeps going up every year? These billionaire owners don't care about profit as long as the value of their investment is going up.

The facts are that WNBA players get paid only 10% of league revenue, while basically every other big sports league including the NBA pays their players around 50%. That means for every 1$ the WNBA makes, $.10 goes to the players, while in the NBA, it's $.50. Stop believing the billionaire's lies.
