The_Dude

What was worse, the FG attempt or McDermotts challenge?

Our punter totally looks like a dude who drives an old, white, work van with “Free Candy” on the side.

Like was that a fake? A fake-fake? Or was that the fabled triple fake?

What the hell was that?

Good. Hopefully that’s the end of Peterman. He cant sit with us anymore!

Hes a good back up. Just sayin, dude had a knack for getting open and making plays. I’d have cut a few players before a guy who has been productive is all I’m sayin. Im not sayin the dude was a star. ?

This is why we suck. We trade a 3rd for KB and let a quality pass catcher like O’Leary go. And for as slow as he was — dude got separation on game day. Bad move to let him go.

He is the best. If his his name was Patrick Mahomes it’d be a lot cooler though.

...I wonder, is McDermott the right kinda coach for Allen?

This whole thing has all the makings of a catastrophe.

A weapon? Knucklehead, I was given soldiers. BTW, a hand mic was my best weapon.

No, you don't have that correct. I told you I ballparked my figures because I don't care to do the work needed to make them accurate bc its an internet message board.

Ya know I wrote a retort and I just deleted it. Why spend my afternoon arguing with Dale Gribble on the internet...that brings me to your level, and I don't wanna be on your level. Have at it Mr. Shackelford.

You can't. At least, not to my knowledge. I don't do finance though. What I used was one of the numerous online calculators with a reasonable risk free rate. So yes, the real numbers would be different. But gosh, that's a lot of figuring to do for a message board deal. Also, while I'm knowledgeable, I'm not overly knowledgeable. I know enough to talk with my CPA, and Edward Jones man. That's what I know. And I know the lowest earners at Amazon just got a raise.

No. No, I'm not. I didn't do that at all. What I stated was Retards point is retarded because the $15 wage gives the average employee more income in terms of present value that they can then invest however they freaking want. I did not look up the beta. I'm not going that far into it.

Why am I arguing when you're an idiot and I'm right? As of right now the average Amazon worker makes $13 an hour and receives equity of around $2,000 in value annually. If this person works a 40 hour work week their take is $27,040 (less payroll taxes) and then they get $2,000 that they cant do ANYTHING with till it vests. So, when the employee gets the equity of $2k it only has a present value of about $1946. Lump that package together and you're at: $28,986 for the year. Now, same person gets a pay raise to $15 and no annual equity and we're at $31,200. That means even if the employee wants stock THAT THEY'RE BETTER OFF, YOU GODDAMN IDIOT. See, they can then take $2k out of their earnings to buy the stock that they no longer get and they're still coming out better. You're a freaking idiot. You CLEARLY do not work with money -- unless somebody's handing it to you through a window. You're a moron. The math says you're an idiot. As a business owner I gotta tell ya I fear the approaching day when even with financing low income families cant afford my goods and services.

You’re a freaking idiot who’s pounding the table on behalf of the 18 year old kid who wants to become wealthy by working 40 years for Amazon in an entry level position. That’s something that doesn’t exist. What does exist is the single mother of 2, working at Amazon who needs every dollar NOW. You say you work with money but you can’t grasp the importance of present value to future present value, because you’re a phony. You’re a liar. And an idiot. Like, you can write — and god only knows how much time you spend editing your posts and thesaurusing — but you weigh in ignorantly on a lot of easy/simple things and completely misunderstand them. Amazon is still using equities for its mid-level and up which just destroys your idiotic point about the young guy who just wants to retire wealthy after 40 years of packing boxes — which isn’t a thing. The immediate benefits to the low income workers there will be far greater than some anual stock dump that their circumstance will force them to sell once it vests. Youre an idiot. You’re uneducated. You’re a googler who trys to tut-tut around acting like ya know some ****. In the army we called !@#$s like you barracks lawyers. People who think they know some **** till they run up against people who do know. Youre a phony. A schmuck. ‘Everybody says so.’?

You’re an idiot talking out your ass again. As per usual. And it’s not worth my time. You’re an idiot, the guy you were arguing with is right. Keep on rocking tho, message board hero.

You don’t follow your argument very well. Clearly giving the employee options is great. What i took issue with is something you’re not defending here. You told somebody they were stupid for believing this Amazon move was a win for employees. I argued that of course it is, because it is. And I argued you’re an idiot, because you are. I did NOT argue against giving employees options which you’re now stating. This is a bait-n-switch tactic used by people who’ve never studied rhetoric or debate which is exactly what you are. You lick balls.

Equities to a poor person aren't valuable; they're unrealistic. If you're poor you can't keep your stock, you sell it as soon as you can which is what they do. Stock options are only desirable to people who dont have to sell them to feed their family tomorrow. You're so freaking retarded. A mongoloid. An absolute idiot. You "claim" to work in money but seem to lack the concept of present value and future value. You lack that as well as common sense. Stock might be worth something to a poor schmuck like you who lives in moms basement, but to a poor schmuck with rent equities aren't a thing -- trying to pay the bills is a thing. I agree with you. But lets not pretend humans are gonna change how they do things and plan accordingly.

I’m not so sure. When the lower tier can’t afford furniture, TV’s, and appliances then were all kinda screwed.

I disagree. Wages have stagnated for years, and the reason it hasn’t bitten the rich in the ass is financing. But when the impoverished become too poor for even financing, then were screwed. I believe raising the minimum wage responsibly wards that threat off.

Youre an idiot. But that’s already well established. This is a win for Amazon’s workers. The low level ones whom the raise effects the most typically got about $2k in stocks a year that they’d have to wait to vest before selling. They need to sell their stocks because they’re poor and need the money. So Amazons workers get more income with better predictability which is a win for them. Youre just an !@#$ with decent grammar and a thesaurus who likes pretending to be learned. You’re not. You’re an ass. And an idiot.

Its a win for Amazon workers. It’s probably a win for Beezos too.

Two weeks ahead of schedule. There could be very real ‘fire McDermott and Beane’ chatter very soon.
