Tubgoat posted:loving lmebo if Mattress Firm goes under 'cause those fuckers cluster their stores obscenely dense, 175 closures nationwide would leave only like 80 stores per state on average. The most frequently asked question sfter "Can I use your bathroom?" was "Why do you guys have two stores within a mile of each other?" To which the answer was "We used to have THREE stores within one mile." Nevermind all the stores that are closer than THAT still. I thought Mattress FIRM already was found out to have been a pump and dump scheme by the former CEO? How the hell is it not in forced bankruptcy at this point?!

Often Abbreviated posted:Getty misty-eyed about the diversity of the military is a false hope. If a company of wonderful immigrant, women and LGTBQ soldiers are ordered to conduct house-to-house raids in Chicago in search of "insurgents" they'll do it. It's what they've been doing for years, they've got nowhere else to go, it's what their officers are telling them to do and at least the weather won't be as punishing. The wonderfully diverse troops are controlled by magnificently chudly officers, and the officers make the decisions. You mean to tell me that Ernst Röhm was bad, even though he was gay?!

anime was right posted:thats the trick they're all pulling, btw. they just fire the people who make the most money and push people from a lower position up and give them a raise, but its like 10-20k less (but still an improvement). they hire low-experience replacements at lower starting wages because they know they can do the job but dont have the prestige to make more money. AKA the public accounting method.

Many states require banks to be C-Corporations (similar to how many states require contractors to be S or C-Corporations) even if the IRS/Trump doesn't care, so they wouldn't get the QBI deduction.

Agronox posted:that said there are only really two ways to return cash to shareholders without being bought out, dividends and share buybacks, and the tax code prefers that you buy back shares to issue dividends Assuming the dividends are qualified dividends, they're both taxed the same...?  Unless you mean the fact that you'd have adjusted basis on the redemption of the stock, thereby reducing the taxable income on a given transaction (although it also means that you can no longer get future dividends without buying back into the position).

Shear Modulus posted:it's cheaper to return cash through buybacks because dividends are taxed when paid whereas stock whose price goes up because of buybacks (or any other reason) is taxed when sold. which, means that the stock is generaly taxed basically never. most stock is owned by multimillionaires and billionaires who dont need to ever sell most of their stock to buy whatever they want. and for the rest of the top 10% who also own stock they get to pass it down to their heirs, who inherit it at the higher tax basis and generally dodge the estate tax since the amount before an estate is taxed is laughably high Except that share buybacks are taxed as sales of the stock by the investor back to the corporation, so it's taxed when the buyback occurs, just like when a dividend is paid...?
