Yeah the stats for the Russian deaths in world war 2 are mind boggling

locusts

Soviet history is so interesting though, if any of you haven't read much about it, I'd recommend too because it's great history, even if you hate communism like me

http://faithandheritage.com/2017/08/this-is-what-you-voted-for/

i don't see how this will positively impact americans

if anything, it sounds like a buffer to assuage the interests of the poor while they're slowly replaced with automation

Is that a bad thing

it is when the middle class is still being depleted

incoherent waffle

so far 50% of the 20 manufacturers I emailed responded within 24 hours, and 80% of them sent me fairly reasonable emails

so I figure at this point it comes down to sample and quotes

see who can help Muh Margin the most

@fallot this essay was too long for my lunch walk but I will finish it then talk about it soon

alright

@Deleted User 57835c2c what are you doing about the possibility of being cheated?

I'm cumming into butt

I mean coming into butte

Montana

Butte is neat

it has the world's biggest open pit full of mining sludge

👌

@fallot taking measures

one measure is paying only 30% up front

another is the fact that a lot of this is off of Global Sources, which has higher standards than a joint like alibaba

you've read that 4chan post yes?

of course

alright, good luck

I know what morlocks are about

it may be worth their while to cheat you out of 30% is what I was thinking

so currently what I am selling will be for a goal price of $30, I can get them manufactured for like $6.50/unit so far

well the places I'm going through are brokers almost, they have a sort of insurance against that kind of thing

so in theory if that happened I would have recourse

so $6.50 per unit to the port... then probably another 0.6-1 for shipping... so about $7-8 to get my $30 product from China to the shipping warehouse

so hopefully I get a fat margin off this

what's the shipping cost from warehouse to customer

from warehouse to customer, I'm not sure but it's incorporated in amazon costs. I think that ends up being like another $7

I have to review my calculations but it's like... (price) - (shipping + amazon fees + ads) = margin. In my case that looks something like $30-(7+7+1)=$15

probably will end up more like $10 when all is said and done, stuff has a way of adding up, but making $10 on something that sells 1000 units a month is fine by me

it doesn't even have to be perfect, because I'm going to turn around and start another product as immediately as possible and repeat until ballin'

repeat until ballin' lol

literally is that

if it makes remotely that much money then I will buy more software tools to help me do this with less effort, thus be able to scale it up more easily

like crap that will calculate reorders for me

so my profit will momentarily go down due to the new expense, but then double as I add more products that I can now responsibly manage

one time, in my errant youth, I grew magic mushrooms

and the way I did it was so easy and scalable that i sold everything I grew for like $3000 to this dude I knew that was moving tons of drugs

and then I thought about how easy it would be to do 10 or 100 times that much and got freaked out and quit

it basically takes brass balls to have money

it almost requires spiritual enlightenment to have hundreds of thousands of dollars invested in something and watch it ride out the peaks and troughs

Yeah. But drug money seemed too tricky ultimately. I had other options so I discarded the idea

who knows, maybe you would be able to proceed now

in my case, I've basically always been like I'm on cocaine, all grandiose and narcissistic and ballsy

I feel like I was born to do this kind of crap, I don't even feel alive unless I am

I literally need to be taking some kind of risk almost every day or I feel dead inside

I'm very risk averse.

naturally

there comes a time I believe when every man realizes he is taking risks every single day he's alive whether he wants to or not, and that he will one day eventually die no matter how careful he is

that's when people start turning everything into a calculated risk and getting ballsy

Yeah that is basically where I am.

like... if I'm leaving this world in a hospital bed no matter what I do, I might as well do something kickass

it's not my nature, but it has to become my second nature

that's how all of us leave this world

when you start seeing people die and it stops being shocking to you, it makes you think a lot

little old ladies in nursing homes who don't wake up, people dying of horrible injuries, people getting surgery and dying on the table, wasting away from cancer, busting a blood vessel and just passing out one last time, falling and hitting their head and then getting a brain bleed and getting really demented suddenly, etc

I am amazed most docs can see that kind of shit and not reexamine their lives and why they do any of it

life's too short for a lot of things, and it's way too fuckin' short to take peoples' orders and do what they say

I don't mind taking orders from people whose orders I want to take. My current boss is like that, which is why I'm working for him. I like what he does and he's the best at it in the region and I'm learning a lot working for him.

But I broadly agree. I'll leave here when it ceases to suit me or benefit me.

you could be living your own life instead

the clock is ticking nigga

what else could you be doing? lying on a beach? having wild sex? writing great music?

I hate beaches.

I like the mountains, which is why I'm where I am. I like my girl, I like the things i do every day. I'm pretty self-actualized.

I'm not at the point in my self-development where I have the tools to do my own shit yet.

But I will. Next couple years probably.

you're self actualized?

you mean your Trve Self works in an office?

Yeah. I'm basically a sperg. I love super detailed legal shit.

so given anarchic freedom you'd still do it? what do you do, paralegal? lawyer?

lawyer

interesting. what area of law?

If I had fuck you money, I'd probably do something pretty similar. I'm really involved in energy policy in my state.

energy

tell you what

I would do it less hours per week that's for sure

if I get fuck you money (which I hope to, rather quickly in fact), I will seek out your services entirely on the basis of you being altright

haha

do you need a wind farm or solar array built?

you know I bet I could get spergs to donate to it as a nonprofit

do you know much about taxes and their evasion/avoidance/avoision?

if not, simply being able to tell me how to find the kind of lolyer I need would be a huge help

I know some about taxes and how to take advantage of legal tax shelters. I don't know anything about how to evade them without getting caught.

but I can't give you advice because I am not licensed to practice in your state.

basically the question I need answered is.... if I have an LLC or S-corp producing dough, and I want to move it to a trust and invest it in conventional assets, what's the most tax efficient way to go from A to B?

so far everyone says "that's a hard question, you need competent lawyers in that area," but I don't know how to even find them

so maybe you could point me in a direction

would be willing to use ovreseas options and even bitcoin

I would look for highly rated firms in your state that have a tax practice. If you want the best of the best, you're probably talking about firms like Skadden or Orrick or Akin Gump or Alston & Bird or something like that in LA.

But that's probably overkill for what you want.

firms with estate planning practices would probably also have the info you want

my guess is, and this isn't advice, is that they'll tell you to max out tax-sheltered investment vehicles like a 401(k) (which you can sponsor for yourself under a certain self-employment provision or as an LLC) and a "backdoor" IRA

You would then just pay income taxes on income you are paid from the trust

for which a certain deduction is available, iirc

taxes on capital gains in complex trusts gets into a level of specialization I don't have

S-Corp is a good idea since you seem to be funneling everything into long term investments, but you would want to check on how your state treats S-Corps because it varies a lot and some just treat them as regular old C-corps

I see

I do not consider 401gay to be a tax shelter

Are you an actual lawyer @UOC

yes

retirement accounts are no good for me unless they are going to provide me a tax advantage on paying my bills from them at age 31

Or just a fag

Oh cool

lawfag

I will take your advice though

just look up tax lawyers from l33t practices

How much money are you playing around with

Out of curiosity

If you want to pay out of accounts at 31, don't use the common tax sheltered stuff. But depending on what you want to pay for, Roth IRAs have some pretty good provisions for like first time home purchases

But IRAs and 401(k) are still a good idea because they're capped relatively low. You don't really miss out on much by contributing the 21000 total or whatever it is now, and it's a good long term hedge

because it's pre-tax it would lower your effective income

lowering your effective income is the name of the game in tax these days

business write-offs, shelters, etc

@TendieLord He's projecting 6 figures annually from this scheme

1-200 I think he said

worth getting tax advice for sure

What scheme

selling chinese trash to idiots

Is he prostituting himself?

Oh that scheme

Oldest trick in the book

Well, second oldest

After sucking dick

lol

I am going to commission somebody to make shirts for us saying that

Is the Chinese trash you're selling Asian gfs?

no, those at least have some intrinsic value

Shit

you could at least compost those or something

what I'm selling is far more useless than that

Would you become a slave trader if it was legalized

I think I might

if it was legalized I definitely would

I would sell POCs for money

or rather hire someone to do it for me so I don't have to even look at them

tfw no exotic oriental slave gf

I'd hope to see homesteading, polygamy and slavery all legalized

What kind of trash

http://pipesmagazine.com/blog/the-pipe-pundit/mr-brog-polish-pipes-the-pride-of-przemysl/

I should try ordering tobacco from the states. Just a couple of tins at a time to see if they decide to gouge me

it's really weird to see non-fit people being exercise scientists

Quite a common phenomena

or non-rich people being economists

What is the explanation for this

I had a friend who used to buy weed from a cop

who got the weed by shaking down people smoking weed

happens a lot back home

this was in the US?

so crazy to me

I'm surprised

yeah

was this back in the 80's?

couldn't have been

No, it was just in a really mexican part of Phoenix

what race was the cop

well obviously it happened in a mexican area

aztecs are savage and inferior

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8ZfukjMeUo

well in the 70's cops would confiscate drugs/alcohol from kids and use em at their own parties

they are basically genetically morally bad

I like em okay. At least its a pleasant barbarism.

what race was the cop @UOC

I think he was white

I never went with because I am too paranoid

the only beaners I like are the top 10%

good decision

that are basically white with brown eyes

aren't they just white

some of them yeah

That's like me

My mom's family is from Spain

fallot you pakis are far superior to beaners, the ones among you with aryan features are entirely fine to me

Came to the US through mexico

I've heard bad stuff about beaners, but pakis lower down the rung can be pretty bad

Are Pakis better farmers though??

the area is very fertile

difficult to say

most indians/pakis I find in the USA are actual people, though a lot of them I consider very dysgenic unfortunately

hahahaha

indians/pakis?

I think my ancestry.com thing only gives me 13% Iberian and 4% Native American tho because it turns out the guy I thought was my great-great grandfather got cucked by a british dude named Robert

lol really

yes

I had my own ancestry report figured out

what's the story there

Town doctor

cool

granny musta been fine

I want to do stuff like Ancestry but they have too little data to be of use to me

o/w doc wouldn't bother

I was really surprised by mine

how come?

against all odds I am predominantly racially from the UK, on both sides, mostly scotland

why against all odds?

I was surprised by that because one side I thought was way wogger than that

oh

turns out they are scots with a med last name

that's exactly like me and the spanish stuff ha

one of my best IRL friends is basically all scottish but with just enough moorish to change his coloration slightly

my clan is endogamous but I am interested in their origins

maybe in 10-20 years

so he's olive skinned, brown eyed and dark haired, but if you look at his features they're entirely scottish

hey similar to our conversation about martial arts the other day and how boxing and wrestling are kind of not conceptualized as european martial arts

people don't really think about "angles" and "saxons" and "jutes" and the rest as european tribal peoples

yeah most of them don't

I do of course

yeah, I mean they are not thought of that way in the popular conception

but when you see recreations or whatever of their clothing, it sort of triggers that realization

how big is your clan @fallot

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Awan_(tribe)

oh the numbers are gone

well the SJWs are half right in that people are blind to their own culture

especially whites

I'm getting 10 million worldwide

from this website

whites need to be taught that they are in fact white and that they do things differently than others

I assume this is a result of geographic isolation or something

https://joshuaproject.net/people_groups/16264/PK

other races rub elbows with other races more and see themselves as more distinct

not sure this is accurate at all

seems too big

in fact subsets of people only slightly different will insist they are just about different species

5 million seems about right I guess

well I just wanted to get my scale right

like are we talking millions or hundreds of thou

aite

right on

I'm interested in our origins, the myth I think is not credible (or it may be true? dunno)

arab migration?

one arab patriarch

a semi-legendary figure called Qutb Shah

supposedly a descendant of Ali, the cousin of Muhammad and the 4th Caliph

from his second wife, Umm-ul-Banin ("Mother of the sons")

my grandfather outmarried though

paternal grandfather

his wife has origins in greater persia

also, my family lives right at the edge of Punjabi ethnic geography

and has for generations

I suspect there may be Pathan (afghan) blood as well

but who knows, endogamy is pretty strong in the indian subcontinent

also, the Qutb Shah story doesn't answer where the rest of the blood is from
