@Cavitation23 @andrew_cottrell @stoolpresidente Was that English, DeAngelo? Buffalo education hits different

@EconomicsBrett @andrew_cottrell @stoolpresidente Brett. You’re a certifiable loser lol. You look like penis head and you act like a child. For knows you don’t have a woman who’s good to you. Mosy on by now child

@Cavitation23 @andrew_cottrell @stoolpresidente You know what stat is my favorite? The one where Buffalo was favorites at home tonight, but instead got dog walked.
English

@EconomicsBrett @andrew_cottrell @stoolpresidente Moron. Read the stats. I know your pea brain probably doesn’t deal with statistics well but let me know when it processes.

@TKopelman @markcecchini Everything except the lawn. That’s mine 😎
English

@markcecchini 100% agree
I outsource everything I can:
- all house projects, moving, painting, etc
- all lawn stuff (mowing, weeding, mulch, maintenance, etc)
- weekly house cleaners
- so much in my business
- etc
Anything that can be outsourced is

@andrew_cottrell @Cavitation23 @stoolpresidente Same reason your fans were booing in the second period right? They’re just so acutely aware of the game of hockey gtfoh
English

@EconomicsBrett @Cavitation23 @stoolpresidente All that proves is that Buffalo is a strong hockey market that has been starving to watch a competant product on the ice. Watching "good" hockey when your team sucks doesnt make you a "fair weather" fan.

@Iamlouisberk @WallStreetApes If you make minimum wage it’s still a net positive. Time is money isn’t the greatest messaging for the poor.

@WallStreetApes How long did it take them to drive there and back?
How much time did they lose?
That’s the more important factor that the mom failed to teach, you saved $16 but you lost 30-45 minutes.
Value of time is even more important
English

This is crazy
American mother wants to teach her son the value of a dollar by showing him how much delivery apps are charging
He was about to make his order on Uber Eats, the price is $37.17
His mom drove him to the restaurant, put in the exact same order, and the price was only $20.96
That’s almost double the price for the same order, just because you’re using a delivery app
When Uber Eats first launched a delivery fee was only $3
Now in 2026, studies show delivery orders average 80% more expensive than the same pickup order
Insanity

@ArabsAbubakar @DiscussingFilm No, the tape they use to seal the suit.

@DiscussingFilm Was it the Helmet that causes whoever sent out to clean to di£

@Cavitation23 @stoolpresidente So they are fair weather fans? Proves my point precisely

@WIguyinMN @SteveOnSpeed How come I didn’t think of that? Better off to just blow the money on fruitless endeavors, you’re right.
Look at historical inflation data on home price. Very inaccurate statement.
English

@EconomicsBrett @SteveOnSpeed By the time you spent 4 years saving up that 3.5% down payment, the market value of that $400k house will be $550k, and even if you could afford the down payment, you salary didn’t go up at all so you can’t afford the monthly payments anyway.

@realEstateTrent A mystery of life or the mess that is urban America?
English

Right on cue - just now, right in front of my eyes at a Duane Reade in Manhattan:
A guy casually grabs a bunch of candy and heads for the door.
One of the employees follows him, stops, and says, “Do good.”
The guy responds, “Who the #%$ are you?” and tries to intimidate him.
He walks out.
The employee turns around and says to a colleague:
“I wish I could just knock him out.”
If you want to see this happen again and again, go hang out inside a CVS or Duane Reade in Manhattan
And yes things are locked up because otherwise they would get easily stolen with zero consequences.
Yes this is reality, and the majority don’t seem to want to see it changed.
One of the mysteries of life.
StripMallGuy@realEstateTrent
We’re in Hudson Valley and I have to admit it feels really nice that all this stuff’s not all locked up like it is in NYC
English

@PenguinsJesus And booing their own team by the second period. Rock solid fan base.
English

Buffalo may be the funnest fans in hockey and football. They haven’t been in the playoffs in over a decade and needed this.
They are so easy to root for when your team isn’t playing them.

The city of Buffalo is pure chaos right now 🤣🦬 @BuffaloSabres

@aincomeinvestor A stainless Rolex at retail will always be a fine choice.

@JLazzy23 The same crowd that was dead silent and booing their team for half the game? Building full of pink hats

@rationalyankee Buy, borrow, die. Biggest tax loophole for the ultra wealthy.

Hal Steinbrenner is never selling the Yankees. Hate to break it to everyone. It makes zero financial sense for him to do so.
George Steinbrenner paid $8.8M for the Yankees in 1973. The franchise is worth roughly $11B today.. That is one of the greatest capital appreciation trades in American financial history and Hal is doing everything in his power to never cash it in.
A sale today generates a $9.4B taxable gain and a $3.5B tax bill at blended federal and New York rates. Hal isn’t writing a $3.5B check to Uncle Sam. So he’s not selling. The Steinbrenner family will borrow against the franchise instead. Loan proceeds aren’t taxed as income income. The interest is deductible. The asset keeps compounding. You’ve unlocked liquidity from the appreciation without triggering a taxable event that would cost you $3.5B.
The Yankees did $705M in revenue last year and reported $7M in EBITDA. A business generating $705M and barely breaking even is not mismanaged. It is managed precisely. Every depreciation schedule, every interest payment, every deductible expense is sheltering income that would otherwise get taxed. The accounting losses are a feature.
Hal will pass the franchise to his kids at a stepped-up basis and they will run the exact same play.
Think of it this way: Hal is sitting on an asset worth $11B that he effectively inherited for free. If he sells, he hands $3.5B to the government. If he never sells, he borrows against it, lives off the proceeds, deducts the interest, and eventually passes it to his children at full value without anyone ever paying the tax.
The Yankees payroll debate is a distraction. Hal isn’t running a baseball team. He owns a generational wealth vehicle that just happens to play baseball.

@rationalyankee Hal need to sell, he’s make 10-12B
