This aviation DUmmie is one sick POS. What do we know about them?

[SVPete]

How much stoooooooooopidity does it take to be ignorant of the fact that "news" organizations - liberal or conservative, both do it -select photos so as to make the person photographed look good or bad? Digital cameras (and before that in film cameras, motor drives) make that supremely easy. Just take a multi-second burst and choose the one that fits their editorial stance.

Obsession, not just a Calvin Klein fragrance.

I wonder if they eat with those filthy mouths,their mothers would be proud of them.


They would look mad to if they were being prosecuted for some bs charge to further some politicians ambitions.

Specially when some of the biggest crooks put democrats

Most of them truly have no idea what this is about.  Here are some thoughts from another thread where it is highlighted they are simply piling onto something they have no knowledge of.

8. I don't understand the values of property

My taxes are based on the county saying my house is worth 145,000. Zillow has my house at 345,000. If I take out a loan, I can’t use the 345,000 figure? I must use the 145,000 figure? It is confusing.

This poster thinks just because some judge said Mar-a-Lago is worth $18MM that that must be the true valuation.  Anyone should be able to look up values of the properties around MAL and figure out that is woefully low for the market.

And it continues.

11. My bank sent out an appraiser

who asked me what number I wanted and gave me that exact number on my appraisal. The number isn't even close to the tax value.

When I had an appraiser, I was told not to be around.

22. My county

a few months ago said our house was worth 590,000. No way in my town is any house worth that (and we were told it wasn’t). They did assessments late last year and apparently the company from TX they gave the contract to really screwed up. Thousands of people protested their assessment. Some were successful at getting it lowered and others were not. The man my husband met with at the county accessor office immediately said no way a house in our small town was worth $590,000. We were able to get value reduced by quite a bit. Had we not done anything, our real estate taxes would have gone up to over $10,000. We are on a fixed income and it would have been devastating.

There is a reason the appraisal district does not "appraise" your home.  They "assess a value", not an appraisal.

Oh well, they can continue to dream their pipe dreams unless and until this is done.  From what I've heard and read I don't think this NY AG has a leg to stand on, but I could be wrong.

I saw a book on a high finance guy's bookshelf once, it was titled "Valuation."  It was easily thicker than War and Peace.  It's a very tricky business and waaaay over the DUmmie's heads. 

And yes, "appraisal" and "assessment" are two different things, but DUmmies mix up tax returns and tax refunds all the time as well.

That’s what the primitives don’t seem to be able to grasp. The only way to know the value of a piece of property is to put it on the market and see what it would sell for. You can make some determination by appraising the property and comparing it to others that are similar and have sold within the last year. But there’s no real advantage to overvaluing a piece of property.

They also confuse such simple terms such as revenue and income, as well as gross versus net income. Yet they constantly open their pieholes to spout nonsense, much to our amusement.

As far as the finance and accounting books: Yes, they are large tomes and incredibly heavy. When I walked to class with my Intermediate Accounting book and the Auditing one in my backpack, I should have used a two-wheeler to push the damn thing.

EXACTLY!  And there other issues that can affect that value.  All that matters is having a willing buyer and a willing seller at whatever they deem the fair market value at and THAT is your valuation.

Hell, MAL could sell for $50MM more than any appraisal just because Trump owned it and used it as a Southern White House.

How much were people paying for those digital art things ... what were those called?  NFT's?  They weren't worth a dime to me, but some people sure thought they were worth a lot!

https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2021/03/harvard-curator-examines-the-worth-of-a-digital-work-of-art/

A digital collage of 5,000 images by the artist known as Beeple fetched an eye-popping $69 million at auction last week as a non-fungible token, or NFT, a type of digital file that uses computer networks to prove a digital item’s authenticity, paid for in cryptocurrency. It was a striking sum for something that can so easily be copied and co-opted by anyone with an internet connection, according to many experts, and the first for the revered auction house Christie’s, which orchestrated the sale, and opened the bidding at a modest $100. While the final price tag for Beeple’s “Everydays — The First 5000 Days,” didn’t come close to the $450.3 million paid for Leonardo da Vinci’s “Salvator Mundi” (“Savior of the World”), a portrait of Christ dating to about 1500 that sold at Christie’s in 2017, it was a stunning price for something that to many seems intangible. It ignited a discussion about the nature of art in the digital age, and how to measure its worth. The Gazette spoke to Mary Schneider Enriquez, Houghton Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art at the Harvard Art Museums, about the sale.

And how much were people paying for hunters “works of art “?
