Ted’s wife is a bigwig with Sachs. I wonder if she had input with this.

Mostly yes.
You get people selling off companies or several depreciated rental properties, and they get hit with the tax and can’t get out of it.
There are some circumstances that they can manipulate though. When the stock market crashed in 2008, people sold off at enormous realized losses, sat on the cash for thirty days to avoid the wash rule, and bought right back in at the same low prices.
That created years worth of carried over losses that enabled them to recognize capital gains at zero tax.
It’s a reasonably common strategy called loss harvesting.
Certain flavors of stock options appear to be tax free at time of sale, but this is because the initial grant was deemed W-2 wages and was taxed when it was issued at ordinary income rates.
The entire scam of unlimited PTO is that the company doesn’t have to pay out any unused time when you leave.
It certainly doesn’t increase the time off you get while still at the company. Studies show people take less time when it’s unlimited.
I don’t know. Some people who experience abuse and escape it become far worse abusers when they’re in position to do so.
Also in Texas because twenty years ago, my beloved wife HAD to have a house and there was no way in hell that was happening in California.
Today the wife is gone, the house is gone, the dogs are dead, and the daughter is grown and living in a far away civilized state that respects her right to exist.
And I’m still here. I pretty much don’t leave the house anymore except to go to work and get groceries. So very, very tired of everything here, but no viable way out in the foreseeable future.
To the laughy emoji, I think a Harris/Vance administration would be a lot funnier except that the assassination attempts to get Vance in there would probably occur daily.
I used to work at a place where several partners were members of this church. The open disdain directed toward me for not being a churchgoer and the ostracization the occurred were a significant factor of my decision to leave.
After I left, one of the partners harassed me for several years via phone calls, text messages, and hand written letters mailed to my home trying to get me to turn my heathen ways around.
One of those letters said something asking the lines that while I had chosen eternal damnation for myself, I owed an opportunity of salvation to my daughter, so I needed to bring her to this church.
I don’t remember how many years this continued, but it finally stopped.
The hell is the matter with these people?
I cast my first vote in 1990. It was the first and last time I ever voted for a Republican. Please forgive me. I was eighteen and raised under Reagan. I didn’t yet know better.
Anywho, I concur with your assessment. We’ve fallen so very far.
Well earned hatred for Zuck aside, Trump really seems like he wants to imprison the entirety of the seventy percent of Americans who don’t bend the knee to him. Depending on what level of military support he garners if he manages to weasel his way back to the White House, we could realistically be looking at a Cambodia Khmer Rouge situation.
I’m not a gun guy, but I’ve seriously been thinking about getting one - not for self defense against a militarized police force or unimaginably powerful military, but as a quick out should things turn to round up the Dems bad.
I’d wager that his lease has a mandatory arbitration clause that requires him to pay up front then try to get it back via arbiters chosen by the landlord.
I love that the GOP has essentially been trying to destroy the Ivy League since the whole Israel thing got going, but so many of them are products of said Ivy League.
Has private equity ever made anything better? Ever? This will kill the NFL, but of course it’ll make a bunch of billionaires even richer first.
But then where will they go to see and be seen when nobody is watching them do hooker shots of Johnnie Blue in the luxury box?
I think I read not too long ago that there are still bales of cash buried around Colombia that were never accounted for.
They’ll make you listen to Vogon poetry. If your head explodes, you’re not a bot.
Now I wonder about elephants given that they have funerals and mourn their dead.
I tried via search and failed to prove it, but I’m nearly certain this was an old Facebook satire page.
Biodiesel was gonna be the next big thing before EVs started gaining traction. Arnold drove around a Hummer that was modified to run on vegetable oil while he was governor.

George Bush the first called Dan “potatoe” Quayle the Jose Canseco of politics.
JD is making him look like it in comparison.
