They’re likely not that liquid. If you have debt service on your house or car and owe tuition and other costs of daily living, without an inflow, cash depletes quite rapidly. They can’t sell Carvana shares, so unless they have other reserves, yeah, it’ll be difficult for them. first world difficult, but difficult. 

The “racist” thing is a bit much. Ant-man - thief. Wanda - killer. NAtasha - killer. Hulk - killer. Iron Man - well, if one considers world-wide arms dealers, then he killed lots and lots of brown people. Let’s not even get started on the crazy white fascists, etc.

It’s not a smokescreen. The execs are foregoing liquid cash, presumably to provide more room for payroll. That’s a real sacrifice, because right now, the stock isn’t worth anything and likely can’t be sold.

Not that I’m for racist characterizations, but it can’t have been a surprise to Slate that her character was named thus. Also, as a tall redhead with a not inconsiderable beak who has spent a lifetime being called “Red” or “Ginger” (and look, it’s a pejorative if you’re from my part of the world and literally not a…

There’s no way to dance around the cruelty of many of the laws awaiting the SC trigger. Republicans, and that includes Republican women, regardless of their personal histories, want to deny women control of all aspects of reproductive health. They are going to go after contraception, and no matter what elected…

Well, there was the pesky cultural climate during the initial era of super-hero creation. The characters were drawn as straight because LGBTQ content would never make it to consumers; maybe Wonder Woman (DCU) had some clear queer overtones, but overall, publishing companies had no incentive, even if they had interest,…

The MCU, like most constructed worlds, really doesn’t define “gods”. In the MCU, they are less religious figures than super-heroes or super-villains; after all, a surprising number of Americans have a problem with the idea that many, many people don’t think that Jesus is God. If the MCU started to talk about Thor as…

No joke - I had a brain freeze and simply couldn’t remember the term, “Gypsy cab”, although that’s not a term one should use any longer. Anyway, in an effort to find the term, I googled “fake taxi”. At work. I was saved only by the fact that I had two other people in my office who couldn’t remember either.

Regardless of whether you mean it, you’re trying to establish an axiom, that anyone who’s super-wealthy, regardless of how they got there or their intrinsic ethics, is morally bankrupt. Aside of how easily that’s disproved by examination of contemporary people or of recent historical figures, it’s a lazy…

Most people have misapprehensions about WC. The dead employee’s family will receive statutory compensation for his fatal accident. I am not hip to how MI WC law works with regard to fatalities, but the family isn’t going to walk away with nothing.

whoever said, “Best available Prius”, wins.

This women likely has off-the-charts psychiatric issues. People don’t have to be physically abusive or even verbally abusive to be abusers - a “serial fabulist” puts people in a different reality, and the wakeup call can be really jarring. Imagine being the vector for a serial liar who raised thousands from one’s…

Maybe if it was black and maintained?

Oh, for God’s sake - what’s the number you assign to “starts to be evil”? What is rich to you? Contrary to popular belief, there aren’t a lot of people in the US with “tens of billions” of dollars, but there are a lot with $100 million.

There seems to be some confusion about the cost of real estate and the costs of supporting WFH while also bearing those real estate costs. Apple is a wealthy company, but that doesn’t mean they will cheerfully pay more to operate.

You might want to acknowledge that there are poor white women who get the same unworkable advice. You might want to simply state that moving away from friends and family and a job simply because maybe 30% of the people in the state voted for some close-minded pricks is a pretty big ask.

That’s simply untrue. Get a job with a good start-up - doesn’t need to be tech. Get some stock options. Wait for the company to go public. MAke a shit-ton of money. Take most of that shit-ton of money and put it into real estate and the market - a fund with a proven track record. The real estate appreciates, you use…

Given that we don’t have a fascist system of government, and given that opposition to the government is absolutely no the same as being anti-fascist, these guys aren’t anti-fascist. Rather, they’re big fans of the last guy, who made no secret of his own fascist inspiration. 

C’mon - I’m pretty agnostic about Fox as an actress, but no one can ignore the wildly sexist coverage and casting she has endured throughout her career. She has also been pretty consistent in calling out mistreatment. She has no responsibility to perfectly articulate the totality of a social problem.

Several issues at play.
