I was about to call bologna and say I'd buy 2,700 followers for $150 if you could send me a link, but it's even CHEAPER than that?!  Costs jump up to those prices per month if you want them to be real and engage with your content.

So how many of these followers do I need to stay in swanky hotels for free? 100k? So for $800/month can I spend a week or two at the Four Seasons?

No idea on what it takes to start getting free stuff, but the monthly prices only come in if you want them to participate actively. Just following is a one time fee (until the followers get banned for being bots).

Here is a great story about a guy that managed to get his band booked to a large music venue based solely around purchased social media and lies. https://twitter.com/buzzingbugs/status/1060543770964439041

Hellman & Friedman bought the Illinois-based firm in 2014 in a deal including an investment from JMI Equity. I don't even really know who is being bad with money on this one, but I can certainly tell you who is very good at making money.

I mean, Underworld isn't tiny, and it's moderately famous, being right outside Camden Town tube station, but calling it a "large music venue" may be overselling it a little. https://twitter.com/buzzingbugs/status/1060927007750586368 Also lol, the venue made the "band" (which is apparently just the one dude and some professional musicians he hired) go to an ATM and pay for staff wages and venue fees before they let them play. It's basically just a lovely pay to play scheme. (That Twitter thread, in which the music community figure this out and all start cancelling the rest if this guy's tour, is kinda fun, though.) Edit: https://twitter.com/TweetTheFridge/status/1061045568158552066 That said, apparently there's no such thing as bad publicity: https://twitter.com/livinginachaos/status/1061411157142052864 Lead out in cuffs fucked around with this message at 08:32 on Nov 30, 2018 |

Going to break a rule here, but I felt it's good content fodder- over several drinks, the girl I've been dating a while was having a discussion at me about our future and mentioned something about her willing to go halfsies with me on an engagement ring. Something along the lines of a $20,000 price tag, ideally (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Yeah, sounds like OP in that one's going to get an estate lawyer to figure it out and get them at least some of the equity back from the house. Also in grandma's BWM, though: quote:Whatever it is, about 15 years ago the HOA offered to replace pipes in all houses due to issues. My grandmother turned them down because she didn’t want to inconvenience anyone. She was too nice even though it would have cost her nothing. I don’t know the exact details on our plumbing, but ‘gently caress copper pipes’ has been uttered by our plumber several times. Doesn’t help they don’t show erosion until the leaks start springing up. It’s not just the pipes, but the water or something else shortening their use.

There is no such thing as a conflict free diamond since purchasing one will prop up the idea of diamonds having value either way.

Also we'll probably sell that loan to someone else soon". It's a way for Private Equity to Get Paid up front without having to deal with the pesky aspects of running the business well and collecting profits. They also cut expenses to the bone (firing people left and right) to insure better cashflow for the loan payments - sorry, they restructure the company to streamline operations - and since generally they have 5 year or so timelines, as long as it can limp along for that amount of time it doesn't matter to them what happens after. These assholes are just taking the game to a new level

Just spoke with an employee under me who started booking OT hours at 8AM today and will likely have to work 10 hours today and 10 tomorrow. He gets time and a half and doesn't mind the work, but he's bitching that he "did some calculations" after his last OT paycheck to discover that he really only makes $6/hr OT because it bumps him into a higher tax bracket. I spent a few minutes trying to gently explain that I'm pretty sure that doesn't happen to no avail.

I read an analysis of private equity returns in the 80s that indicated that it was mostly a tax arbitrage, using interest tax shields to juice equity returns, and asset returns were generally not too different before and the leveraged buyout.

Maybe he meant he only makes $6 an hour more post-tax than his base rate and he's paid over $12/hr? Probs not though, people are dumb as hell when it comes to marginal rates
