Just because they didn't like it doesn't necessarily reflect on its quality. I think they mostly were upset that their expectations were not met.

I thought the last story arc of dbz started off very strong and only got weak once the super buu stuff happened.

Not quite as strong as the Cell arc but overall pretty close.

Do you like to bother and pressure people? Do you enjoy doing whatever it takes to get in the door? Great salespeople need to enjoy those sorts of things to make the sort of money you're talking about. If you possess those sales traits go for it.

But I can tell you from experience that sales is the worst thing you can do if you don't have the instincts for it.

Well, it's not like nobody pays taxes. The employees who work there (including highly paid executives) pay taxes. The shareholders should be paying taxes on their capital gains. Amazon still has to pay taxes on all sorts of things such as fuel or tariffs.

And the money has to be going somewhere. When they purchase capital, the assumption is the vendor is paying taxes on the profit from the sale.

...what

If you re-invest your revenue in costs then it is deductible from your taxable income. Amazon re-invests all their revenue so they are at $0 or negative profit.


To put that in other terms, amazon uses their net revenue to do things like buy Whole Foods, issue company stock, or pay down corporate debt. So at the end of the year they haven't actually made any money.

edit: I should add that we are taking about federal corporate income tax. They've been paying state sales tax for a while now

If you have been out of work for 6 months, think of the opportunity cost if you are out of work for another 6 because they go with someone more desperate than you.

Like you said, you don't have much leverage right now. I would be fairly cautious and not ask for much. But do ask for something.
