you do realize when people like you "CONSUUUUUME" it drives a unrealistic inflation on everything related.
when covid hit and food stamps became everyones way of life the cost of groceries shot up and is still there but marginally coming down, because there was an unrealistic demand.
Do you need to be taught economics?

>>62260282

do you think it'll do any good when I have less than 20 years to live and at least 15 of that will be in a dementia home?

>>62260288
That's a nice mentality you have
>fuck it I'm gonna ruin everyones life because I can
I hope nobody steals your wealth when you're in dementia diapers.

>>62260288
you can be like my aunt who squandered everything and hoped to leave it to her sister, then some tweeker caretaker stole everything beat her black and blue and deprived her of any medicine until she died.
More common than you think and she got away with it all.

>>62260282
not my problem

>>62260294
that's not how wealth works in the US, kiddo

if you're going to pretend to live here you should learn how we do things. Dementia patients can't legally own anything.

>>62260229
thata not a boomer its a boomaahh!

Never understood "business class", like if you're traveling on business why would the company pay for something extravagant like that. Then I got to thinking: is it just called "business" because owners write the expense off as a business expense on their taxes so the airline figures you might as well charge a bajillion dollars anyway kek. Is that how this works?

>>62260308
>>62260305
>not how it works kiddo
Okay.... that's her dude.
State investigators couldn't find enough proof she killed her so they dropped the case.

>>62260314
I left her for 3 months to go get surgery done since I live in another state, by the time I was aware she was dead and they stole everything, changed her life insurance, changed her will and stole every item inside her house valued over a dollar.

>>62260314
won't happen to me, I'll die surrounded by robots, watching an infinite stream of ai slop tailored to make me happy

>>62260312
>Is that how this works?
yes exactly

we count it as part of the salary package. The business pays for it, we write it off 100%.

same goes for renting a BMW at the airport, or eating red lobster and staying at the marriott.

we aren't allowed to spend outrageous amounts on business travel, but normal stuff is fine.

>>62260314
>>62260318
and she had no bruises on her when I left, they isolated her, beat her and deprived her of medicine and oxygen.
Just saying if you do have kids and you treat them with that attitude, don't be shocked if something similar happens to you, she made her life using people and promising to give them shit, until nobody else was around to help her because she would lie so much or be so greedy when it came time to pay people she wouldn't or refused until she had to find more suckers, ultimately her way of life was reciprocated back onto her.
I was able to get the house back but not the life insurance.

>>62260320
lol if the caretakers don't steal everything.

>>62260343
I hope so to, I felt bad i couldn't be down with her but she lived 6 hours from me on a mountain, and my mom (her sister) health is failing so she couldn't live with her.
I had a state caretaker living with her full time but somehow these tweekers weasled her out from the caretaker I had placed with her.
Blows my mind the lazy detectives "couldn't find enough evidence"
Like umm this shits highly illegal, called isolating family members and it's insanely common to the point they made it illegal.
I'm still going to force the insurance company to put the money into court and make this bitch prove my aunt wasn't demented when she had a dementia diagnosis in 2024

>>62260343
>not quite my grandma lol she was my aunt"
but I never had any grandparents so sort of filled that role.
She was awesome when I was a kid but dementia brings out some bad qualities.

>>62260322
It's a corporate scam to keep airlines going and launder money.
No regular business pays that for airfare. Only because it's a corporate pas thru faggot scam does it work.
All corporations are owned by holding companies in large part and they all collude with each other to pass around fake gay money.
They should be of course tried and hung.

>>62260564
Why I was against it in my first post, not about being jealous (though hell I'll admit being poor sucks)
But when people overpay for shit it creates a need to inflate when there's no natural inflation in that market.
Like groceries were overpriced pre covid, but for example coffee did a 3x, cola like coke went to nearly a dollar a can when it was like .15 cents or less when I was a boy, there's an old sign for a quiktrip local gas station here in like 04-05 two 24 packs of soda for 3.99
now closer to 40 dollars....

They offered her that deal because they couldn't fill the seat lmao

All these places asking for 10x the price of what things SHOULD cost and then crying business is bad.

>>62260229
Unless it's a lie-flat seat, business class doesn't seem worth buying as a normal person.
>Saks 5th avenue bedding
That's a department store not an actual brand?

>>62260229
I thought it was for some short 5-hour domestic but 11-hours is a decent length. I wouldn't do it personally but it's a good deal.

As long as your own parents are thrifty, it indirectly benefits you if boomers as a group are juicing the economy with frivolous spending

>>62260600
there is not price that it SHOULD cost. it's just another seat in a different part of the plane. they set whatever price they want. $1M, $1, there's no difference for their cost. that whole meal cost them probably like $15, and it's already paid for so it's going to be wasted anyway if they don't use it

>>62260312
it's not free moneys from the irs if you write it in your tax return, lol. it just reduces your tax a little if a million other conditions are met. did you ever do taxes? a rhetorical question; i know you didn't. what the fuck are you doing here is the real question

>>62260753
it's just a tax-free part of your salary.

I still have to pay for it, but I don't have to pay taxes on it first. And that's nice. It's nice to travel business class and not have to pay any taxes on the cost of the ticket.

But yeah, if you're not to the point where you're throwing money away to save on taxes, it's not a great deal. Most of you will never experience this.

Why is it so hard for millenifags to accept that their parents owe them nothing? You are not, in any way, owed generational wealth. They worked way harder than you for what they have, they have a right to do what they want with it. And if they want to spend it on flights and gambling instead of giving it to their unappreciative 35yo chud son who spends all day on a cuck site posting shit like this and will never give them grandkids then I understand why they do it.

>>62260762
I think it's cute they expect an inheritance.

boomers didn't get inheritances. Or if they did, it was like last year or something. They inherited when they were too old to need it.

Millenials are the same. By the time their parents die those "kids" are gonna be pushing 60

>>62260766
I think its cute boomers expect not to be taken care of by shaniqua in the inner city nursing home once they turn 80

>>62260769
I think you're way more afraid of that than we are

>>62260766
My dad was born in 1936 and he inherited mineral rights from the permian basin, he made like 75k in the 80s selling a portion of it.
his 6 sisters also got the same portion, sucks I would have been loaded had my dad not had six fucking sisters, but yes boomers inherited stuff.
He almost inherited about 250 acres inside the city I now live in, shame that would have been 50m or so since every square inch is now homes/businesses.
I actually own a duplex now in the same acreage my grandfather owned in the 50s, they sold it all though not sure for what.
He almost traded it for a mansion with a bowling alley in the hills but he didn't because he didn't wanna drive up a steep driveway in the winter.
The men in my family were strange, no wonder i'm half insane.

>>62260769
>son, I like Shaniqua, so I wrote you out of the will and wrote her into it!

>>62260761
that anon seems deluded into thinking that it's free for businesses somehow
reminds me of these ads about FREE SOLAR ROOF that claim that the government will pay for your solar installation. reality: you can deduct the INTEREST from the loan that they will give you (a huge interest too) (for 99.999% of people will not make a difference because it's below the standard deduction)

>>62260802
not sure about that since a few years back I got a full tax refund for installing my "energy efficient roof."

Like I spent $7k and the IRS paid me back $7k. It ended up being applied to my taxes, but if I hadn't owed taxes it would have been a cash refund.

>>62260794
My aunt basically, though she was forced to, frustrated I need to battle this shit when it's plain as day, luckily she TOD'd the house to my mom and the caretaker didn't get my aunt to revoke it (still would have been undue influence) but since she didn't revoke the TOD I basically own the home now, my moms in her 70s and almost died last year similar to my dad and she wrote her daughter out she's a burnout, so I'll end up inherting half my dads mineral rights and the other half goes to my brother who i'm close to, assuming I outlive my mom anyway.
And whatever this house I sell brings in.
plus half of the house I own now.

Just gotta not die in some boomer made iranian war/wealth transfer they are doing now.
Yes
>>62260776
You, why the fuck are boomers so susceptible to influence, you guys are pushed the worst idea in the fucking world to invade Iran and it's gonna maybe fuck us all in the end.
Course I have mineral rights so I'm slightly isolated from oils influence.

>>62260766
>boomers didn’t get inheritances
They inherited a functioning, prosperous nation, and shat all over it for a few more dollars (each of which worth far less than when they were young).
Fuck them.

>>62260807
is that the same deal as with evs? it's finished now as far as i know

>>62260824
yeah it was a while ago. I believe it is done.

I also wrote off something like 6 new trucks in a row and then finally bought a car and wrote that off too. But I don't do the solar thing because weather doesn't permit it where I live. Having talked to a few dozen solar salespeople they're all scams anyways. Right up there with "we'll replace your windows and siding and you can write it off!" I mean I can write it off, but most people can't.

>>62260810
it's true, things are much worse now than they used to be. But to attribute any of that to one person assumes far more influence than poor people have ever had.

I would fuck her in the ass

I get that you're not actually employed and never will be, but you need to understand how ignorant you sound. Business class travel exists as a mid tier between econ and 1st Class and its actual purpose is to make it so that when your employees have to hop on a 10 hour flight to service hardware at a random customer site on a weekend, they are less likely to want to kill everyone involved. Usually corporate policy will dictate a minimum distance/time threshold on a flight before they're paying for an upgrade, but those costs are already baked into service agreement pricing, so nobody cares.

>>62261177
Back and up early.
I own a business with 8 employees and probably worth 4-5 million once PPE is accounted for.
My wife is an MD.
We are in very early 40s.
That price for tickets isn't prudent EXCEPT when my wife's medical globocorp pays for it once a year for a conference.

This is my point. We are millionaires and that's a retard ticket price.
They only way the volume makes sense is that's it's almost ENTIRELY corporate seat purchase.
No "business" owned by an actual person , a real life person (me), wastes that kind of my money.
An 8000 write off for a ticket doesn't pay out at all if it's your own business and the money just disappears.
But with globocorp, the money just goes to "a different" globocorp. Same owners.

Written while shitting before 6am, asost successful people shit early.

Now back at computer, not phone posting.
What the real purpose those tickets is to make you feel good and NOT PAY YOU that money.
Would you spend $8000?
No.
Would they give YOU $8000 and let you buy your own ticket and keep the rest?
Ask. I know the answer.

These "perks" are meant to be basically valueless to the corporation, but really make you feel good about it.
Any employee would prefer the money and a cheap ticket at that rate. You'd make an extra $6000 on the trip if they just paid you.
But...no no. You get a "perk" valued at an insane markup on their books.
It's a scam brother. Enjoy it.
But, again, next time, ask for the cash.

Maybe say...hey...why not give me HALF and I'll buy my own ticket. Saves them money right?
Try it.

>>62261691
You're half-right. It is cheaper for them to give benefits for that amount because they wouldn't have to pay payroll taxes on it. You've also clearly never flown further than an hour or two on Ryanair if you think a business/first class seat isn't worth it for a 12 hour flight.

>>62262057
>12 hour flight
I have gone to Argentina a few times from USA and it's about that long. Next time I would pay for it because being able to sleep is like gaining three days in good times.

But again, why not just pay the employees the amount and let them decide? Same cost right?
It's a scam and the prices are indicative of a scam.

>>62262057
Also, these long INTL flights are an incredibly small portion of business class volume.
It's almost always 1-3 hours max.

I'm sure the goycattle aboard would rather have a comfy seat for 1.5 hours than an extra $3500 in their pocket...

They killed Kennedy and then passed the three worst pieces of legislation ever in about one year span. Boomers had no clue. No internet. No idea of how evil the world was.

Lets be real here, If Boomers had to start over from scratch today they'd plug themselves instantly. That wealth in all rights is not their own. They're basically section 8 dwellers who were born the wrong skin color by accident.

I always wanted to create a game show where Boomers have to search for a job but follow their own advice and see how long it takes them to crack.

Holy fuckin kek that is some fresh cope. Ok lets play your game then.

Holy fuck if business were regularly just $1000 for an 11 hour flight that'd be great

>>62262082
>Same cost right?
Literally no.
You don't seem to understand that "Payroll Taxes" means your employer has to match your taxes. So if you get paid 7.5% of that 8000 to Social Security and Medicare, your employer has to pay 7.5% on top of that 8000, in addition to the percent that goes to other mandatory taxes and fees like unemployment insurance.
So you might get $8000 that you have to pay taxes on, but it costs your employer almost $9000 to pay you that $8000, which you then have to pay additional taxes on, so you don't even get that $8000, you get like 5 or 6 of it.

the business in business class is only a marketing term
it's mostly well off people on vacation
for intl flights you get a fully reclinable seat that takes 3x the space of economy so it costs about 3x, worth it imo
also the priority checkin, disembark and lounge are a nice bonus

>>62262105
1-3 hours max business class doesn't cost $8000. The international flights in first and business class are incredibly expensive. Domestic flights aren't.

they are charging that price because there are people paying that price. The economy, at least in the premium airline seat business, is working quite well.

>>62262654
I guess if people hold out that price drops like a rock tho. Is it usual to score this kinda discount if it's last second?
For one thing no way those upgrades even cost 900 so those margins on an 8k ticket are nuts

They end up being a large portion of our flights because we're a US firm that services a lot of semicon equipment installed in Korea, Taiwan, and continental Europe.

Where you could buy a house with 2 - 3x the average annual salary. Where a trip to the hospital didn't put you in debt for 15 years.
