Amazon: “We made $470B but spent $469.9B so we only owe taxes on $100M”
IRS: “Perfectly legal.”
You: “I made $61,000 and spent $59,200 keeping my kid alive and my lights on.”
IRS: “That’s not a business expense.”
You: “Rent isn’t a business expense?”
IRS: “Correct.”
You: “Insulin isn’t a business expense?”
IRS: “Correct.”
You: “Then what am I running here?”
IRS: “A household. File by May 15.”
You: “Amazon runs a household too. It’s called ‘reinvesting in the business.’”
IRS: “…”
You: “So if I call my rent ‘reinvesting in my ability to show up to work,’ we’re good?”
IRS: “No.”
You: “Why not?”
IRS: “Because you’re not a corporation.”
You: “Right. I’m just the guy the corporation depends on to survive on less than it spent on legal fees to pay less taxes.”
IRS: “File by May 15.”
I remember asking assistant coach Mo Cheeks, what’s harder to do? Workout after practice or before?? I only asked cuz by time I would get to the gym, Russ was already done in the morning and I usually got mine in after practice. Mo like, “coming in before practice is probably harder”…since then, it’s been my routine….a lot of people looked at the emotions on the court and thought Russ was loud, nah to me, he was quiet and methodical. He lead by example and once the lights were bright, he let everything out and experienced pure freedom. It was inspiring as his teammate and everywhere I went, I seen it inspire people from all walks of life, crazy thing is, he didn’t say much, he just showed up. For 18 years. This basketball life is sacred to us as professionals, what we put into that court means everything. Some of us wish we could go back and do things with a little more intent and some can just wipe their hands and be satisfied with the time spent. Who u gonna be? We know what zero was on…keep inspiring in the next phase of life champ. I don’t care what happens, can’t erase what it was…The first YNs, finals run in our early 20s, all star games, seeing each other get injured and bounce back, the bus rides, plane rides, card games, jokes and arguments, the whole thing, memorable!! …to the whole Westbrook family, Nina, the kids, mama Westbrook, big Russ, Ray, Donnell, everybody from luezinger high and ucla and many more that I’m forgettin, much love and Congratulations on a iconic career.
You're telling me that Flock cameras have the capabilities to track a woman across multiple states to track if she got an abortion and a man who crossed state lines for weed, but they aren't being used for finding missing kids or get a glimpse of Mitch McConnell returning home?
@jasonmyrt Jason I’m sorry to hear the news, but I know you’ll keep fighting! We’re ROOTING for you man and you’ll continue to be inspirational to us all
The wave of nba / nfl guys going on podcasts and saying their career earnings of 20,50,100 million “isn’t that much” after expenses is by far the funniest way I’ve seen people accidentally admit they are diabolically retarded.
Had to get that off my chest. Anyways, we’re gonna keep it positive today though. Everyone have nice day
Breathing in hefty lungfuls of smoke as I get explosive diarrhea from salad, the sky turns apocalyptic orange while oil companies drill in protected lands, screwworms are eating cattle alive and the president just paid $6 million for rape. And I’m also able to bet on all of it!
Drug tests are funny.
The guy doing fentanyl all weekend passes by Wednesday.
The guy who hit a joint at a barbecue three weeks ago is the one failing.
Matthew McConaughey explains the difference between a nice guy and a good man
"A nice guy gets along. Yeah, I'll do that, sure. They don't necessarily have discernment or judgment, not sure what they stand for or against."
"A good man has ideals he stands for and stands against. When they're tested, a good man is not a nice guy."
"It doesn't mean you've got to be a dick. It means sometimes you go, this is for me and that is not. And if you trespass on me and my family, I will do my best to cause consequences."
Y’all are not mad enough!! She was only 7 years old.
He called her “pretty” — his own words. DNA in both holes. There’s an audio recording of her choking and gagging on “something.”
Why the hell are we, as taxpayers, paying for this monster to sit in jail for 4 years waiting for a trial? And now we’re gonna pay for another 30–40 years on death row? Hell no.
Let her parents handle him TODAY. Some crimes are so evil they deserve immediate consequences — especially when the evidence is right there, loud and clear.
