A friend of mine worked at Walgreens years ago. He is a very hard worker and very introverted. He was there for 7 years and took MAYBE 30 days vacation the entire time because they always relied on him to cover shifts, stay late and come in early. He would never speak up for himself when we would have plans and they made him stay late, sometimes 3 or 4 hours. He, I, and another guy were (still are very good friends) so he vented to us a lot about how miserable he was at his job. We told him to say something and put his foot down because he got an insulting, once-a-year raise, but still did whatever they wanted. One night we called him and asked him if he wanted to go to McDonald's with us during his lunch break. When we picked him up, we started driving…

Hi, I have $500K in the bank and am on pace for $1.5M this year. Here are stats shared by my partner and I. This is less than a year: ​ Total Purchases 31148 Total Leads 0 Total Revenue $1,996,453.00 Total Spends – $586,820.77 Provider Payouts – $0.00 Net Income $1,409,445.78 It's easy to start your own business. I've done it several times in entirely different industries. You guys should join skillshare instead of proposing unsustainable economic models that would send us into the fucking stone age.

I’ll be cutting back my hours at work because it’s consuming my life and the most boring thing I’ve done for employment. What should I do once I have an extra 20-25 hours a week to do things for myself?

I am genuinely curious to hear arguments for and against this, but one thing that has always bothered me is- why does the gift and estate tax exemption get adjusted for inflation every year, but not the federal minimum wage? The current gift/ estate tax exemption per person is currently just shy over $12mm per person, meaning a couple could pass onto their heirs, estate tax free, up to $24mm. They only pay estate tax of 40% on any assets above that exemption. But it gets better than that- at death, those same assets that pass estate tax free also receive a step up in basis to their fair market value at death, meaning any appreciation in the property transferred gets wiped out. So let’s say John Doe purchased a building for $20k back in the 70’s, it’s now worth $500k. If he were to sell it during his lifetime,…

Essentially the Board is For executive compensation and Against company accountability on lobbying policies, human rights, pay gaps, and discrimination practices. I plan on voting the opposite of the Board.
