Don't women who get fugged by 'the boys' find it degrading?

[donblaximus]

If he doesn't need the 8th pair, then he shouldn't buy it. And an accidental $2 spend is different from a $60k spend. $60k > $2. Nobody cares if you have some extra socks. If you have an extra $60k engagement ring, that is a big fuking deal.

That is only a big deal to the eye of the beholder. I have seen people bet $60k regularly in one hand in vegas without breaking a sweat. Its all relative.

[Cleveland33]

Understood. But if money were no issue....you wouldnt have brought up the fact that they pay for a nanny in this context. Thats just a rounding error and cost of doing the job. Like someone having to pay for an executive admin.

Your argument was saying "not even my sister (who is well off) went part time"
But then in another post you state "its because she chose not to (insinuating she loves her career)"

I don't follow - the nanny is necessary to allow her to work.

[donblaximus]

See, this is where we fundamentally disagree. I want everyone who pays $60k on a ring to die. You don't. I think they literally deserve to die over that. There are people who are being deprived of an education and a life so some chitbag can have a ring he puts in a safe.

I have a friend that spent well over $60k on a ring. He also does a ton of charity work all over the city. Literally millions a year in charity work. He employs thousands of people......and allows said people to be able to make a living and feed their families etc. You are looking at things way to emotionally and way to black and white.

It's either "pays $60K for a ring" or "spends $60K on a ring".

Looks like someone was "deprived of an education".

The "deprived of a life" part we knew of already...

[Xtermin8fascist]

I know. And I think you and your like deserve free helicopter rides

Of course you do. We want to kill each other, and there is no resolution other than class war. You want to fight for billionaires to have more stuff.

You believe landlords should die.

You also claim to be a landlord.

He still wasted that $60k. He clearly has too much. He and his family should be taxed until they no longer have $60k to piss away on jewelry.

[donblaximus]

Correct....but why did you bring that up in the context of the discussion? The discussion was that there are women out there with high paying jobs that quit after marraige.
Your position was that "not even" your sister who has a high paying job and a nanny quit her job. How does that prove the point that there arent women out there that do that every day? The nanny in that discussion is irrelevant to the discussion.

[Anachron]

And you shouldn't be allowed to piss away your time on the internet instead of being a productive member of society.

Work camps should be a thing for people like you.

[Xtermin8fascist]

And again, I find that disgusting. It really isn't all relative though. That money has value and can be used for better ends. Thank you for reminding me ITT why I hate America.

[donblaximus]

Once that tax gets incurred....he will make the decision as to whether all the liability is worth it. He will probably come to the conclusion that it is not.....he will down size and then there will be several hundred families impacted by that taxation. They will be out of jobs and forced to look for another job. One in which perhaps the CEO is not as compassionate about family. Not at easy going about taking time off for tending to your families needs. Doesnt have quite the benefits etc.

He will just modify his actions based on the variables placed in front of him. At that point, would that make you happier?

[DustinTheHuss]

If some parents (not just women) dont want to spend time with their kids.....then there in lies the foundational problem.
All of that was hashed out with my wife back then before i considered marraige.

There was one Dad who never paid attention to his son. He was always on the phone when he picked his kid up from school. Then his son started lashing out and hitting other kids in the classroom. The parents donated a lot of money to keep him in the private school but finally he was kicked out. So sad......

Being with my daughter was the highlight of my life. I LOVED playing Barbies, American Girl dolls and board games with her. I hated returning to work when she was young.

It's so sad that now kids today are having play dates wearing AI sets or on iPads and no one plays with toys or board games anymore.

[donblaximus]

I get that. Its apparent based on this thread that you have a lot of anger and emotion towards the many topics in this thread. Maybe sit down and assess how your life is going.....and see if anything could be adjusted.

[Cleveland33]

Of course you do. We want to kill each other, and there is no resolution other than class war. You want to fight for billionaires to have more stuff.

No, I don't give a chit about billionaires - I am against penalizing people for success and people can do what they like with their money. If he wants to burn $100k cause he can, no skin off my back, it's his money.

Correct....but why did you bring that up in the context of the discussion? The discussion was that there are women out there with high paying jobs that quit after marraige.

I'm sorry, I don't know, I guess I thought it was relevant at the time

Thats why I never equate money with class.
Class is foundation set in how you behave and how you treat people.

Him downsizing on luxuries doesn't mean hundreds out of the job. If it does, then they should eat his company and kill him if he tries to fuk it up.

It's not. Currency is a tool created by the state to facilitate the exchange of goods and services. It should be used productively to that end. It is not something to be hoarded or used to ill ends. That is not and has never been the point of money. Money exists purely so person A can trade with person B without going to person C if person A doesn't directly and immediately have something B wants. The point of trade is fair value exchange of goods and services. Nothing about the jewelry trade or the existence of some dickwad willing to piss away money on it is remotely fair or valid.

Most of these diamonds come from exploitation, are sold by a company with a long history of imperialism, and are bought by people with too much money to piss away. The entire affair is morally reprehensible and rotten to its core.

Everyone involved can and should be summarily executed, imo.

Him downsizing on business since the taxation rate is too high to offset his liabilities bro. Are you actually a basement dweller? I thought that was all just said as a joke but you are starting to show that you lack a sense of real world experience.

If "they" eat his company.....then someone else will need to step in and provide the same goods and services that he does........and that would impact many lives on the end user side as he is in food processing and distribution.

He is confirmed to be one by his own admission.

Not making things up - he recently started pretending he isn't, but don't let him fool you.

Brother....once you are worth $100M.....you can set the example for what you believe in! I am sure there will be plenty of people that would be inspired by your stance.

I'm sure I would be. And I'm sure I could talk him out of capitalism using basic reasoning.

I'll never be worth that much. Once I get to 5 M, I am going to give away 100% of everything made beyond that to charities. 5M is more than enough for me to live a very comfortable and luxurious life without it reaching the level of disgusting and repulsive excess that makes me want to vomit and go on a rampage with an AK and a Che T shirt.

No one needs $5 million to live.

You need to start giving away 100% of everything you make much earlier than that.

[Cleveland33]

I doubt it - guy loves investing

I'll never be worth that much. Once I get to 5 M, I am going to give away 100% of everything made beyond that to charities.

Does your dad have $5M to leave you?

Once you realize you are dealing with a person who has the mental capacity of a teenager, the stuff he posts makes more sense.

And I am being nice...
