Basically, issuing stock in lieu of (or in addition to, since I also need actual money to live) salary. I’ve seen a couple offers that are below market rate on salary, but come with a 25% salary equivalent in stock issued and vested at 12 month intervals. So basically, they’re offering what they consider to be market…

It’s also great to buy one off lease. BMW is really good about just including all maintenance (I’m sure others do, as well), so they’ve all been serviced at the dealership and have records to prove it. Plus, the people leasing BMWs are typically just using them to project power on their commutes, so other than some…

See, it was a funny joke to us, because the bar name has TRUCK in it, and a TRUCK ran over some assholes minding their own business and riding bikes. It’s funny because if you like to do something different from us, you should die.

Well, to be fair to them, the “joke” they were making is that the other 10% of the accidents, like the one where the truck ran you over, which happened just down the street not too long ago, those ones can’t be avoided.

I don’t know if you know this, but he’s currently saying:

Look a little further:

That timeline of movies is pretty depressing. We go from Cars to WALL-E?

If Elon Musk has to sell $10bn in stock from a company that is currently worth ~$1 TRILLION, that shouldn’t have any effect on the stock price. Just with the basics, that’s 1% of the outstanding value of the company. Especially with the volatility of TSLA, no one would even notice a 1% price drop.

Exactly. Like everyone else, I’m testing the waters for a new job. Unlike a lot of people, I have the ability to turn down any offer that doesn’t include “RSU” somewhere in it.

For a school that gave away fake athletic scholarships for $500k, he’s probably right.

Oddly enough, as a regular person with a regular job, I pay quite a bit of my income in taxes, percentage-wise. Somewhere to the tune of nearly 30%, between federal and state (not including sales, etc.).

I’m just a regular white guy, but I’m pretty sure this commercial happened because someone typed “tick tock cool black people saying stuff” into Yahoo. Then watched the first 3 videos, and made a commercial with whatever phrases were in it.

So what he’s saying is that no matter how many people are around, no matter how many steps of safety there are, someone who isn’t trying to kill someone can still do it? That in this exact situation where there was NO gun present, then no one would have died? Like, if Alec Baldwin was staring at a camera, no one dies…

How will they charge you $9 a gallon for fill up? Because on business travel, you go ahead and return that bitch half empty and let the client pay. Right?

Only SOME customers deserve support. It’s kind of a red state thing.

I agree, that’s why I wouldn’t do it. But for a job that requires relatively little skill, and even less critical thinking, that’s good money. There are a lot of dumb people in this world, or lazy people, and being told to get in that truck and drive it to where we say, while making a good chunk of money, can be…

Not the specific companies I work with. They’re all company owned and branded. I imagine that also gives them quite a bit of leeway in getting rid of the drivers that don’t meet their standards.

Isn’t there a homeless problem in southern California that the Republicans keep talking about?

Were you going to Philmont? I grew up in NM, and I have to say, those caravans still drive through there, and 45 is LUCKY. 2 lane roads behind one of those, may as well just turn around and try again tomorrow.

I hope the military does a better job than their last rebuild job. I hear even after a few trillion dollars, those countries in the Middle East are still fucked.
