I used to have a cat that generally wouldn’t beg for food unless I made something with tuna. Even then he wouldn’t beg while I was making it but I would find him sitting on my desk in the other room (where I ate) waiting for me when I got there like “hey whats that”.
I find that one can of tuna is just about the right amount for one meal of tuna salad for one person (if you’re not having it with anything extra, like bread).
Is it supposed to? I mean, a Jaguar doesn’t look like a jaguar either 🤔 But if they market it as being designed around a nautilus’ shape, then yeah it sucks haha
It is my understanding that awarded stocks are taxed as direct income at the time the stocks vest because that is essentially what it is. It’s money they gave you, but bought stocks with it on your behalf. If it is vested and public, it is yours to do with as you will, including selling immediately and just collecting your money straight up (no capital gains because no growth, all principal). If you hold it until it becomes worthless, that is no different then buying any other stock and holding it. Your tax burden should be partially offset by the capital losses, though.
They say that they could not sell it. That either means that it wasn’t yet vested (there is often a period, like a year, before the awarded stocks from your employer vests), in which case they are correct that they shouldn’t owe income tax on it until it vests. OR, and I suspect this is the case, they either misunderstood or were lied to by their employer about what they could do with that stock. If it was vested, they owe income tax on it. If they were lied to, there may be civil recourse they could take against the employer. But if they just misunderstood and sat on stock until it was worthless, that’s just their fault.
Lurking for a few years? Yeah, this person is super fucked if they haven’t figured out this SovCit thing is all bullshit and they haven’t even asked any questions until now.
A lot of the time people will ask such questions, and a lot of the answers are “you need to study more”. Like it’s so obvious none of them have a clue.
I used to be able to differentiate car brands in the blink of an eye, each brand had pretty distinct features. Nowadays it’s a pretty boring blend, apart from a few luxury brands perhaps.
