  1.  @joebidenisyourpresidentget2481  Also, if this is such a hot button issue, dems will murder the mid terms. Otherwise, I think there was a lot more nuance to Americans being OK with abortions. Yet it seems there will still be a red wave. So I have to wonder how big the support for roe really was, I think Americans want abortion legal, but if it was to pass federally, it would probably be more restrictive than liberal states are willing to go for which leaves us with each state deciding on their own.

  2. ​ @naturegirl2110 OK, so if they squeeze companies for all they're worth and quit, how are companies profitable? How are they making record profits each year? These are literally opposing ideas. You're probably really good at nature. Don't get me wrong, put me in the wilderness with you, I'm dying. But when it comes to business, you clearly don't understand this. I get it, everyone says this idiocy, but maybe think about it for a second. If companies are being squeezed for all they're worth by the CEO, then why do rich people own 90% of the stock market, which is ownership of those companies? How can the CEO, rob people who own the company, who are also rich? Those many rich people would have one easy target to get rid of.... To be honest though, in my opinion, if people are just gonna blindly regurgitate things that have obvious logical fallacies, they deserve to lose the game of wealth.

  3. ​ @sunlimestudios  you can start a business with no money. Lol stop making excuses. Corporations are broken and all profitable. Also, if you think corporations exploit people so you won't start one, why would you work for one? So you won't be the leader of the exploiters but you'll be a cog in the wheel of the exploiters and that somehow makes you more self-righteous? They can teach self righteousness to these young kids, but not hard work lol. You all have every excuse why the system is broken, but, when asked why you don't use the same system, you now have a self righteous bs reason. The truth is you're just lazy. If corporations are so profitable than invest all of your money into them or start them otherwise stop crying.

  4. ​ @sunlimestudios  either start a corporation or invest all of your money into them since they are so profitable and broken. Stop acting like you aren't allowed to play the same game. You just don't want to do the work, you want some one else to do the work and then, you want to tax it. You just sit around and wait for other people to do work

  5. ​ @nestharus  OK, then buy their stock since you're so knowledgeable and corporations grow so fast and unfairly. Either way, you have a solution, stop whining. Gamers spent how much on video games these last 10 years as an example while Nvidia stock went up 100x. Stop crying about corporations and either buy their stock, start them or stfu.

  6. ​ @sunlimestudios  so you promise to not invest in a 401k and make a retirement off of exploiting people by owning the stocks of these corporations right?

  8. ​ @dragoonzen  their stock today is down 8% on missing company forecasts... You surely can read that the person said "corporations always hit their goals" and I showed a provable case they didn't. I didn't say they didn't increase net income.... Increasing net income doesn't mean you hit company goals. Surely you understand that? Tesla can increase revenue, doesn't mean they hit the 50% annual goal. Although that was an extreme goal, analysts and media still held Tesla to it. How many goals has Tesla missed actually speaking about missing goals, I'll go abuse my biggest investment.

  9. ​ @sunlimestudios  then why aren't consumers cutting back? Why is ulta, louis Vuitton, doing well? Why are Playstations still hard to get? Still supply constrained. Consumers are doing so badly, yet restaurants are full, doordash is still a company. You can regurgitate the recession talking point fine. But actual consumer behavior says people are paying the prices. And again, if you believe these companies are so exploitative that you won't start a corporation, then don't own their stock. Starting a corporation is done for the ownership of that corporation. You own the stock, and if you passively invest in a 401k, you're no different than the person running the company.

  10. ​​ @sunlimestudios  pensions paid by employers who did the stock market gamble.... Are you serious? Did you not know that? You're acting like the system is different rofl. The only difference is now, Corporation can't make an idiotic gamble lose all the money and then tell you that they can't pay their pension anymore..... The average corporation lasts 18 years rofl. Good luck collecting your pension. Did you not think that may be the reason that corporations offered pensions before was because of that was the scam? Offering something that they probably weren't going to have to pay? the 401K closed that loophole....

  11. ​ @dragoonzen  the question posed was goals. Not asking how much 5 billion dollars is. Moving the goalpost to saying "wow, this company makes xyz billion dollars, that's a lot of money". Which, if we use that argument, where do we end. 1 million is too much even (but then, no one would invest, your 401k would have nothing to invest in since no one makes profits, and you'd have no way to save for retirement. Yay.) Speaking about the 5 billion dollars of profit, it doesn't just go to the company, it goes to shareholders who are numerous.... It goes to 401k holders. Etc. It's not some random number some person is stealing. It's going literally to the American people. I'm not sure you understand where profits go.... They either get paid to Americans as dividends which they see in their 401ks and other investment structures or, it's spent, as capital expenditure. It's not sitting in a vault, and if it is, it's still funding someone else's stuff(since unh sits on cash to pay insurance claims and because really, insurance companies are actually bond investment portfolios). And considering the business I work in, I know intimately how much 5 billion dollars is....

  12. ​ @dragoonzen  also, they can only price gouge the consumer if health insurance is required.... Who forced that again? Lol. I admit back then, I believed democrats wanted to help too. Now, I'm not so stupid. I missed the health insurance scheme. I didn't miss the green energy one. Tesla was the easiest money of my life. Just watch what the democratic party is pushing, and invest in it. Even if they say they will regulate it. Free money. Now, I support the democratic party because it's amazing at supporting business while making the public think it's fighting business.

  13. ​ @jakeroper1096  the reason corporations are taxed is they use the infrastructure differently and that should be accounted for. This is theoretical of course. In practice, we do it because people don't think it's fair, but as you stated, it's a double tax. The company pays the tax, then, you make me pay a tax, again, to receive the money. Wtf.... It's why I like growth companies. Less chance of tax. If taxes were used in the academic way you stated, no problem, who cares, but it's in reality, a way for the masses to claw money they haven't earned. To the point where a person who doesn't work at all, while able to work, is now considered deserving of the same as a person who does work. A social safety net is needed, but this is far beyond that.

  14. You're joking right? You're saying not for the good of the corporations as Tesla is worth more than every other automaker combined... Yes.... No corporations benefited..... My sister 5xd her investment, thanks to a "small loan from her parents". You get to do that? Lol. I did a 10x on less money. Lol. Ya... "not for corporations or wealthy people". I don't even feel bad about this stuff anymore. You like, then I do too.

  16. ​ @pageek3487 no, it's not well said. This has been the case, FOREVER. You in the general public think ceos have safe jobs. The CEO average tenure has always been 3-5 years. The turnover for ceos has ALWAYS been high. I have a few companies I invest in, where the CEO was pushed out, and the CEO out performed Warren buffet. This idea ceos do nothing and just get paid, and have safe jobs are because normal people DO NOT FOLLOW BUSINESS.
    1
  17. Ceos are being fired for not hitting high rates. Not because they don't have some magical "sustainable growth". Really, this is why Americans deserve to be poor. You don't know anything about corporations, despite all the info being public. How do you play when you refuse to learn? The companies attracting the most attention have the most insane growth rates. "sustainable balancesheet" is buzz words. The same companies are getting the most attention, because they're dominant. Amazon(20-25% top line) , Microsoft(18%+ net income) , Apple(worst of the group, 9% net income), Tesla(30% top line), Nvidia(30% net income growth, this one is straight bonkers), Facebook(18% ish net income, same as Google) and Google. All of those growth rates are straight stupid. That's why we call them the magnificent 7. If any of these companies added more debt they would just get more investment because you don't understand the math of how any of this works. Investors want these companies to add more debt. You have no idea how much debt we use. We aren't afraid of debt. We love debt. Because we don't like dollars. You don't understand the game we're playing.

  23. ​ @Aliquis.frigus don't forget wealthy shareholders lol. Hehe he. /me smiles with Tesla stock. I'm not sure how people don't get that these "green incentives" are just further handouts to the rich. You don't have to "give" money to the rich to give us money.... This is the most tax efficient way actually to give us money. Actually, I'd argue it's even better, because the whole media said Tesla was overvalued, bad stock forever. So, you gave us money, and made us look like we defied all odds doing it.... Lol....

  24. ​ @jamesgardner2101 you do realize, even 6 years from now, they will keep using Trump as a boogeyman? If the powers that b are remotely intelligent, they will make sure that Trump is a threat. They will keep a Trump second term looming as a specter for years. Even after his death, they'll create rumors saying that he's probably not actually dead and keep people in fear for the next 4 years. The worst thing Trump could do right now is die. In my opinion, if Trump were even remotely close to death, you would see a breakthrough drug to fix it from nowhere. They can't let him die. He's way too useful. I know from experience after all... It worked on me for a while.

  25.  @dddon51  if you believe that the only reason you shouldn't be cheated is because you know all the same information, then do you mind if we continue to let Theranos go on? After all, anyone can research and learn the tech didn't work. What about financial products? Why can't I sell you terrible products? Why do you get mad when people in the financial industry screw customers over? They could just have learned. It's not hard. See how your argument falls apart? Because you accept a scam, and believe that learning how to avoid the scam makes you superior to others, rather than recognize the scam should not exist, and a company like Tesla who may not have the same incentive a dealership does to lie may be the preferred option. All you've done is give me another reason to ditch traditional car brands and go Tesla. My time is valuable and having to waste it on this type of research for something I quite frankly don't care about is very annoying. I've wasted way too much of my life researching cars, and talking to people on forums about them to make sure that a dealership isn't trying to screw me over, and yes you are right half the time they are. So yes, now that you make me think about it, getting a Tesla to not have to waste that time is actually quite beneficial

  26.  @Hans-gb4mv  actually, this is only because everything Tesla does gets to be headline news, yet I have news alerts for the other car companies for investment purposes and I get the same alerts that they are changing the prices constantly and yet it never gets picked up. Why, because no one cares, the only time something is going to get coverage is if people actually click it and people will click just about everything Tesla does but if the other automakers do the exact same thing it barely gets covered because no one cares about Ford in the same manner they care about Tesla. Also, everyone pays a different price at a dealer anyway, so the price being paid constantly changes or Tesla ups and then declines its prices regularly just like a dealer would why would I care.

  31. If we reduce GM ceo by half and pay it to all employees, we can pay every employee an additional 70 dollars. 12 million, do divided by 167k workers, is 70 dollars. Let's hire you, cuz you'll definitely turn the company around with your brilliant math skills

  35. ​ @michaelhuang0417 Well, I follow the financial closely, and they COULD have gotten a pay raise, I actually don't care if they had. The problem was, that was on Past PROFITS. The future transition to EVs , now the money isn't there. This is why unions are stupid. If they weren't unionized, they could have asked for a pay rise right away. Instead, they want a pay rise, right as profits are about to turn down, as EVs aren't profitable for Big3 to produce, but the EU and America are mandating they do it. Ford breaks out their EV losses, and they are losing billions, and they don't even produce 100k evs a year yet lol. This payrise is Easy to do. Pay them in stock. The problem is, the workers don't want to be paid in stock, because they know full well they are destroying the value of the company, and the stock value won't go up, just like it hasn't for a long time now. Tesla does pay in stock, and people accept that, because Tesla stock goes up.

  39. If you feel that way, you feel like companies are being robbed, and that companies in America are currently victims, and not insanely profitable. This is what I hate so much about ignorant Americans. You can't even be consistent. You think the company is being plundered, and think the company is making record profits. Which is it? They're literally opposite opinions. Even more stupid, rich people own the stock of the company, so you're suggesting that CEOs are robbing rich people, and getting away with it. You literally don't understand the hierarchy of America. Ceos are not the rich... They work for the rich. Just because Elon Musk is a rich CEO doesn't mean that the average CEO is wealthy, relative to actual rich people(Jesus my numbers are distorted now). It's insane, the info is literally public, and Americans still don't know where rich people keep their money. I've seen people play games poorly, but this really is beyond mind boggling.

People choose to spend on ccs. It's their choice. This idea you need to help people because they're too stupid to think for themselves is condescending. People make their choices. Who are you to say debt isn't worth a nice dress or a night out. Many people in debt would not take back those experiences.

  44. ​ @Equinoxx_aut Try and get people to buy/be paid in stock, and most people want cash. But then, they see a person do well on stocks, and cry that it's not fair. If you want to be rich like the rich people, maybe hold the source of their wealth? It's the most wild thing. Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Rob Arnault (Louis Vuitton Owner), Mark Zuckerburg, are the richest people on earth. And I assume, they want to stay rich. So maybe... Just maybe.... If I buy the thing they keep ALL OF THEIR MONEY IN , my wealth grows with them? It's the most basic way to play a game, mirroring, and yet, the average person can't even do that. We really are a stupid species .

  46. Her argument is essentially, "paying for student loans sucks, so let's cancel these people's loans and do nothing to fix the problem. Going forward." it's so insane, I can't believe she says if with a straight face. Boohoo, the thing you willingly purchased is expensive. It's not canceled debt...

  49. The other companies are new. This was done a long time ago. It's a past relic. It's arguably not helpful either. The workers could have asked for wage increases a long time ago if they didn't have to wait for contract renewals. They could have asked RIGHT when profits went up. However, they had to wait til this contract renewal, and now, they want pay rises, right when the profits are disappearing, as the companies are forced to make EVs, and they can't make them profitably. I mean, Ford earnings reports are hilarious. They always revise their forecasts for worse losses. It's similar with Hollywood, although Hollywood signed the deal (But the deal let's them do fewer workers for shorter shows, and well, I don't know if these Hollywood writers pay attention to the freaking investor reports, but Netflix and us investors said we are ONLY paying 19B a year for TV shows/Movies. No more. So if they want 40% pay rises, no problem. We are gonna make less content. Like bruh, it's our company, we put our money up, if you want to run the company, you go buy the shares and pray you don't lose your money. Until then, we choose). But Hollywood was making record profits, now, they are literally losing money, and they signed this union deal. So sure, you can demand more pay and get the deal, but if we aren't making money lol, we're gonna make changes. Disney, Warner, Paramount, etc. no one is making money, it's kinda hilarious. Except Netflix. They finally became cash positive by a billion (Spend 19B on content, 3-5B on management/other costs, to barely make 1 billion dollars profit, you want to invest your money and risk it? Please, join us).
