  1. Conservatively...Tier 1 Amazon RCUs right now represent about a $11k distribution after taxes. Given the $13/hr rate at Tier 1 after two years, that's a bonus equivalent to almost three years of extra income at a $2 raise. Probably closer to 2.5 years if you factor in VCP. To put it in simple terms even Chucklehead can understand: a worker would have to work three years at $15 to make up for the $13/hr rate plus stock they now get at 2. And the RCU happens annually, not just once. Basically, Bezos just did the equivalent of instituting a stock buyback at 2/3 Amazon's market price.
  2. Yes, you are. Or you don't understand the concept of "vesting." Or cost basis. Or Amazon. Or...anything, really.
  3. I figured, which is why I didn't do the math. Figured I'd tee you up by providing the concepts.
  4. That is a spectacular collapse of support. What are the numbers for black men and black women...who are generally more familiar with false accusations and "guilty until proven innocent?"
  5. You're using cash accounting on a vesting asset of variable rate to compare it to income? You're ignoring the difference between income and capital gains tax rates? You're ignoring every other Amazon practice regarding Tier 1 employees (MOT, VCP, etc.?) You dumbass.
  6. It's gatorman. Given his track record, It's more like 20-80.
  7. It's ironic that Soros' spending time in an environment where he was politically persecuted for his identity led to him developing the messianic complex that leads to his pursuit of the very same identity-based persecution of others.
  8. For many other victims it's the Democrats' gaslighting that has them upset. Of victims I know, it's about 2/3 against the Democrats for this bull ****. But overall, I get the sense it's more of an even split.
  9. In 2017, 32 of the 75 cases the Supreme Court heard were either unanimous opinions or unanimous rulings with additional concurrences (i.e. no dissent). Another 15 had two or fewer dissenters.
  10. It's fake. The picture's real, but not of Kavanaugh's house. Although now I'm tempted to drive by Kavanaugh's house and see how badly it's been trashed.
  11. I think, in his position, I would have already fled to another country and requested asylum based on political persecution and direct and immediate threats to his family's lives. I wonder if his insurance covers the damage? I wonder if the Jacobins will pressure his insurer to not cover the damage?
  12. Proper dueling is done with edged weapons, you ninny.
  13. They are not a police force. They are an investigative force. Don't encourage Otto.
  14. I hope they bring back duelling. That'll fix a lot of what ails this country.
  15. You !@#$ing dumbass. There was ACTUAL PHYSICAL EVIDENCE against Clinton. Not just volunteered testimony. Nope. But "substantiation" and "corroboration" are oppressive white cis-male concepts that violate people's feelings. We're ruling by Critical Theory now.
  16. They'll find the use of Title IX as a criminal justice statute unconstitutional, I'm sure.
  17. I'd expected the cloture vote to be more in favor - I'd expected more Senators to want to end this farce, and get to the floor vote to vote no. Murkowski's vote against cloture puzzles me. It's almost as if she doesn't understand how the process works.
  18. In my experience, as a general rule GS-level people are honest and hard-working. It's when you get to mid-level SES that you really start to see the political climbers.
  19. Addendum: Or just shut the !@#$ up, chucklehead.
  20. Yes, and I have no doubt she's partisan towards both her friend and Democrats. But while it may rise to the level of witness tampering, and even conspiracy (and I say that while cautioning everyone NOT TO CONVICT BASED ON ACCUSATION ALONE - which is why Grassley is demanding evidence), that does not indict the entirety of the FBI.
  21. "Former" FBI agent. Not as bad as it at first seems. All her witnesses contradicted her.
  22. Surface warming, by mixing warmer and cooler layers of air. That's not global warming.
