Is a private jet an operating cost?

You have to understand what profit is.

If I make a church, collect 1 million from my congregation. Then, I pay myself 1 million for the job of being the pastor.

My business, the church, is non-profit. It had 1 million in revenue and 1 million in expenses. No profit.

Now, I would be dumb to pay myself the million as a salary because then that million gets income taxed. I’d “buy” 1 million dollars worth of bibles for Uzbekistan and never fulfill the order or something. Launder it.

The idea of why the church doesn’t get taxed is sound. People pay income tax, church collects taxed income, church spends taxed income to better community.

They are essentially supposed to be a middle man. If i took my taxed income and donated it directly to buy bibles for Uzbekistan. Then it doesn’t make sense for my money to be taxed again. So if i give my money to the church and they give it to Uzbekistan, then why tax it?

Problem is our tax code has loop holes

A church was never supposed to buy a private jet. Yet it has become a business expense.

Yes, they convince people not to get their whole trial(s) by threatening to kill them.

You hate standard time

DST moves the sun an hour later in the day

You can not simply “shift” billions of dollars from one currency to another.

As much as the rich people with billions want to get rid of the USD, the people willing to give GBP or Euro for USD don’t have to accept. Why would they want to be holding on to the USD if the others don’t?

They could be slowly doing it right now, but if the shit hits the fan, the exchange rate would jump.

Yep small caliber proof for sure

My favorite part of decimeters is 1 inch is 1/4 decimeters. 3 decimeters is foot.

So if it’s like 8 inches. I can just say 2 decimeters

From there you can say 20 centimeters or .2 meters

If something is 12ft it’s 36 decimeters or 3.6 meters

There’s no easy way to turn 8 inches into centimeters other than knowing that 1 inch is about 2.5 centimeters or just estimating in centimeters to begin with.

You could say 8 inches is 2/3 of a foot. 3ft to a meter. So 1 ft is .30 meters. Then it’s 2/3 of a foot, so .30×2/3=.2.

Decimeters are the missing link for Americans to convert

Yards to meters is 1

Feet to meters is 3

Inches to decimeters is 4

Things like a 36 inch doorway, 3 feet, would be 9 decimeters or .9 meters

Common measurements of inches:

12 - 4 Decimeters

18 - 4.5 Decimeters

24 - 8 Decimeters

30 - 9.5 Decimeters

What they would use otherwise would be

.4 meters

.45 meters

.8 meters

.95 meters

Saying the standard doorway is 9 Decimeters is way better than saying .9 meters.

If you rounded to 1 meter. You’re adding 3 1/3 inches. Which is a 10% increase.

A decimeter tape measure would be nice.

Yeah, I watched one from official Tesla youtube where the guy shot it with a bunch of stuff.

It did stop the 9mm with the rounds they chose

The buck shot pierced the door and cracked the window because it was rolled down.

Buck shot is smaller caliber with higher velocity.

I need to find a video of someone trying to get a 9mm bullet to go through it rather than basically a paid advertisement.

Resistant

There is no guarantee to stop even a small caliber

Small caliber at high velocity would go straight through

You could say a thick metal wall is small caliber bullet proof because no matter what velocity, the small chunk of metal is never passing through a few decimeters of solid metal.

Small caliber piercing round at high velocity, straight through the stainless steel door.

Slap some plastic on that bad boy

You’d really trust that as a bullet shield?

Normal 9mm across the street. Probably going through

One day people will realize that you can make money when the stock market goes down

Causing it to go down is much easier than making it go up

Smart people looking to make money on a declining market told him some “smart” stuff to do. He believes it is smart. It is smart for the people that profit. Just hurts so many.

He believes he is special, like some kind of perfect business man where the “deals” always get done and work out in the end for him.

He has been used his whole life like a rich monkey to make others money thinking he was the brains behind the whole operation

Bank robber. Get away driver.

Would be a good analogy.

Yes, the bank robber shot and killed the clerk.

But they are both bank robbers

Who is more evil? The one that does the act or the one that enables it?
