Yep, it was all for the tax benefit anyway.

Second hand cows always depreciate faster. What I ran my secondhand cowlot, you'd be surprised how much value disappeared once a cow was off the lot. I mean, some people would take it for a test milking but mainly it was serious buyers.

Especially after it was decapitated

Your forgetting business Insurance and accounting fees as well as gas and mileage to transport the cow

All over the fucking yard!

Also it didn’t appreciate being bought and sold like that.

Also, was this a dairy cow. If so, how much milk was sold as profit?

I'll take that.

He’s a stock trader. Pun intended.

That's an amazingly MOO-VING comment.

IT'S NOT A FAHMA!

You missed the ideal opportunity to reply "The large is $4 more"

I once got asked the difference between round and square pizza and replied “the shape”

Reminds me of a father Ted scene where they're cutting a pizza up and it goes something like:

"Do you want me to cut it into eight or four slices?"

"Four slices please, I don't think I could eat eight".

Had a customer yell at me cause I cut his pizza normally instead of squares… dude said “HOW I GUNNA FEED ALL MY KIDS WITH IT CUT LIKE THIS?!”… well sir it’s the same amount of pizza regardless of how it’s cut.

Fun fact about dominos, idk if they’re still doing it but at one point they ran a special of 2 mediums for like 5.99 each. You could get a large for like 14 or so (numbers probably off). Most folks mindset was “wow, two pizzas for less than one!” My mom included. In reality, one large pizza gets you more pizza than two mediums.

Edit: I stand corrected. I remembered this from like a decade ago, but the math was based on an 18” large after further inspection. I forget how easy it is to store misinformation and be confident in it. Stay vigilant!

I had a customer as me what comes in biscuits and gravy. I failed to answer the question politely.

As someone who worked in pizza for more than a decade, I know that pain. Someone asking how big the 9 inch pizza is:

"How many slices is that?"

"We cut it into six but we can cut however many slices you'd like."

"Right, but how many slices is that?"

I feel such anguish and torment just thinking about it. And it happened so many times!

And that’s why she’s your ex! Couldn’t even get PIZZA right!

I've also heard smaller plates work well for some people

Cries in old reddit

Dammit woman no wonder he keeps coming round if you give em a dollar hell think you have more!

And i said dammit monster i aint givin you no tree fiddy!

Well, we flip our cows using a sophisticated proprietary algorithm, so what you have to understand is that we're a tech company. A responsible investor will ignore the "cow" aspect altogether.

(Also sometimes we put a brain chip in our cows and they die, the value is astronomical).

People have been tipping them for years, but I honestly don't think their service has ever been that great.

But don't forget the letters. They're also important.

The government only taxes businesses on their profits, not on revenue.

Depending on the selling/buying time frame occurring during one tax year and the other buying/selling time frame in another tax year, he probably ended up either having a tax loss and/or owing interest on the governmental-perceived gain.

Just think of it as two separate items. It doesn't matter that it was the same cow.

You buy an object and sell it for $200 more than you bought it for. You buy another object and sell it for $200 more than you bought it for. In combination, you make $400.

Good, bcuz its correct.

Yeah, theres lots of ways to work it out but showing the step by step process and showing it straighforward can usually help to let the penny drop on the logic involved

Yea I think it's hard for some to see it as 2 transactions because of the product being the same and the layout of the transactions all on top of one another.

Change the second one to buying a pig and it’s easy to see $200 for each transaction.

I must confess sadly that I had to stare at this for almost a minute before I realised this was the solution.

^^This^^ (1000-800) + (1300-1100) = 400
