      - Yeah, the 5-yr deal they got so many with -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 27, 16:50
    - He has said this his last contract wants to spend more time with his family -- nm - eag Sep 27, 16:48 1
      - I bet last long term, and then he'll do some big money matchs for NJPW and others. -- nm - Remlik Sep 27, 16:51
  - I don’t see how unless he only re-upped for a short time when they weren’t doing that. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 27, 16:43

- He managed to lose hundreds of millions of dollars while using highly questIonable tactics to minimize his tax bill. - Will Hunting Sep 27, 16:24 5
  - correct and not correct. we dont know if they are highly questionable, or just a smart use of the loopholes in the tax code. -- nm* - tRuMaN Sep 27, 16:25 4
    - If it sounds like an interpretation that is causing the rule makers to question things, it’s questionable. - Will Hunting Sep 27, 16:32 3
      - the thing is every tax accountant interprets rules like that differently, there are some who push everything, others who apply more ethics - tRuMaN Sep 27, 16:34 2
        
        And the IRS avoids targeting rich tax filers because it would cost too much to audit them and or litigate disputes. -- nm - TWuG Sep 27, 16:36 1
        
        potentially yes. -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 27, 16:37
oh shit what a catch! -- nm - Beaker Sep 27, 16:20 1

  - Well thanks kindly - Trisha Sep 27, 16:42

- He deserves better. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 27, 16:20
We are trending wrong, and that’s partially my fault. So, let’s reboot. What’s making you happy, ST? - David Sep 27, 16:16 45
- Picked up dinner from A&W. good stuff. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 27, 16:45 3
  - Root beer? -- nm - David Sep 27, 16:49 2
    - Already had some at home. I got chicken strips, fries, a burger, a poutine, onion rings ... not all for me, though. - Beryllium Sep 27, 17:28

    - Napoleon forgot about Britain's navy -- nm - Beaker Sep 27, 16:37
    - He ate a shit ton of ice cream. -- nm - Reagen Sep 27, 16:36 1
      - That’s Waterloop! -- nm - David Sep 27, 16:44
    - The book ends before Waterloo, but the Brits have dragons too, just not as many. The series is called Temeraire. -- nm - The Masked Baron Sep 27, 16:31

      - *likes this post* -- nm - MDH Sep 27, 17:09
  - *fingers crossed for you* Work stress is the worst -- nm - Krusty The Anarchist Sep 27, 16:30
  - Ugh good luck. -- nm - MDH Sep 27, 16:25
  - I've been where you are. It's not at all fun. (NM) - Marlowe Sep 27, 16:24
  - yup, that sucks. Hope it turns out good -- nm - Beaker Sep 27, 16:24
  - Eek. I’m glad it’s almost over for you. Dreading job duties really is the worst feeling. -- nm - David Sep 27, 16:23
- Some computer pieces I got are arriving soon. - Marlowe Sep 27, 16:20 1

"Ultimately, Mr. Trump has been more successful playing a business mogul than being one in real life." - ty97 Sep 27, 16:15
I've talked about this before, but this shouldn't be happening in this country!!😢 -- (link) - Meg Sep 27, 16:15
If Ekeler catches that clean, it’s a game-winning TD on the final play. -- nm - David Sep 27, 16:11
It flies in the face of both "He's a successful businessman that will run the country like a business" and "he'll drain the swamp" - ty97 Sep 27, 16:08 2
- No minds will change but Trump needs every day to get back at Biden’s presumed lead (via polls). This takes another day or two out of that. - MDH Sep 27, 16:14 1
  - Biden needs to hit him on Tuesday with this. “If it’s wrong, I’d assume you’d show us why it’s wrong. You aren’t so I’m assuming it’s because you - Will Hunting Sep 27, 16:20

Best post on b2. -- (link) - David Sep 27, 16:02 [Backboard]
To sum up my position: If it's legal, it shouldn't be. If it's illegal, he should be in prison. - TWuG Sep 27, 15:55 23
- So should Elon Musk be his cellmate since Tesla pays no Federal income taxes despite billions in revenue? -- nm - spamlet Sep 27, 16:03 22
  - I am in favor of increased corporate taxes and higher taxes on millionaires and up, regardless of their name or how much I like their products. I'm in - TWuG Sep 27, 16:15 3
    - Also, Trump has committed fraud. If Musk has committed fraud, put them in the same prison, different prisons, whatever. - TWuG Sep 27, 16:18 2
      - I agree with you on passive income but that’s not what this is. -- nm - spamlet Sep 27, 16:37 1
        
        Deductions are a reward. They need to be massively scaled back. -- nm - TWuG Sep 27, 16:41
  - Worst couple, ever - Trisha Sep 27, 16:06 3
    - I'd pay big bucks to see them both in the same cell block as Schillinger -- nm - Krusty The Anarchist Sep 27, 16:08
    - *pours one out for Beecher and Keller* -- nm - Beaker Sep 27, 16:08 1
      - *snort* -- nm - Trisha Sep 27, 16:09
  - revenue isn't income. -- nm - Beaker Sep 27, 16:05 1
    - Yes, I understand but that’s been his argument. -- nm - spamlet Sep 27, 16:14
  - Apples and oranges if you’re trying to compare personal taxes with corporate ones. -- nm - znufrii needs to cancel his gym membership Sep 27, 16:05 7
    - Trump’s losses are from the corporate side passing through but they are fundamentally business losses. -- nm - spamlet Sep 27, 16:13 6
      - Except Musk would still be liable for tax on capital gains whenever he sells his shares, so still not buying it. -- (edited) - znufrii needs to cancel his gym membership Sep 27, 16:45
      - Honest question here. Needless to say, I'm not quite an expert in US Tax Code. - Marlowe Sep 27, 16:16 4
        
        It’s complicated but I’ll try. - spamlet Sep 27, 16:28 3
        
        That was a top-notch explanation, thank you very much! - Marlowe Sep 27, 16:33 2
        
        I honestly don’t know if that exists in Brazil because we are regulated there so I’ve never had to look. Probably yes but just am not sure. - spamlet Sep 27, 16:41
        
        yup, thanks muchly -- nm - Beaker Sep 27, 16:35
  - That, and because he is Hugo Drax. (NM) - Marlowe Sep 27, 16:05
  - That's a little crude to ask TWuG. Tesla makes a nice car and TWuG likes those cars. He's not an Elon Musk apologist. -- nm - Mopsy Sep 27, 16:04 1
    - He's an ass, but I've seen nothing that indicates he's a criminal. If he is, then he should definitely be prosecuted - TWuG Sep 27, 16:20
  - Yes. -- nm - David Sep 27, 16:04
Editing is done on the podcast! If I cut out all the laughing, it would be 20 minutes shorter and considerably less humorous. -- nm - Mopsy Sep 27, 15:55
Jeff Driskel is playing QB while Kaep watches from home. -- nm* - David Sep 27, 15:54 3

Tarik Cohen of Chicago Bears feared to have suffered torn ACL -- nm - Beaker Sep 27, 15:47 1
- That's too bad. Seems to be a great kid. On the bright side, he *just* signed an extension. -- nm - zunkskunk+ Sep 27, 15:53
Adam Gase still the Jets HC after Week 3? -- nm - budice Sep 27, 15:46 18
- Sam Darnold looks like the worst qb in the league. He’s in year 3 as the full-time starter. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 27, 16:09 5
  - with a QB guru as a coach... -- nm - Beaker Sep 27, 16:09 4
    - Dowell Loggains? - David Sep 27, 16:14 3

        He floated off those two years with Peyton in Denver. I think McCoy meant more to Peyton, and he is unemployed. -- nm - David Sep 27, 16:19 1
        
        I tried to find a couple of links to articles, but the CBS Sports one I clicked on was deleted :) -- (link) - Beaker Sep 27, 16:28
- You can't fire him if there is nobody to take the job. -- nm - Spawn Sep 27, 15:58 2
  - Gregg Williams would like take over until the end of the season and they go and hire the wrong guy again. -- nm - Krusty The Anarchist Sep 27, 16:00
  - Rex Ryan might want a break from TV... -- nm - Beaker Sep 27, 16:00
- Sadly I think he makes it the whole season unless there's a mutiny. -- nm - Krusty The Anarchist Sep 27, 15:50
- Would greatly appreciate a garbage time TD. I'm playing Colts DEF in 2 leagues. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 27, 15:47 7
  - NO -- nm - Spawn Sep 27, 15:56
  - does the Colts D scoring another one count? -- nm - Beaker Sep 27, 15:49 4
    - No. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 27, 15:53 3
      - Its ok baby, big bad Joe isn't gonna take pookie's guns away. -- nm* - Trisha Sep 27, 16:04 2
        
        Who's pookie? -- nm - Strongbad Sep 27, 16:12 1
        
        If the name fits -- nm - Trisha Sep 27, 16:27
  - ditto -- nm - Reagen Sep 27, 15:47
Oops. GA State-Charlotte COVID tests were read incorrectly over the weekend. Game shouldn't have been canceled after all. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 27, 15:44 2
- In this case, false positives are a better outcome than false negatives. -- nm - TWuG Sep 27, 15:48 1
  - Agreed. Type 1 >> Type 2 -- nm - Strongbad Sep 27, 15:54
