A huge part of my current job (VP of IR) is to keep up with current events, mostly business but also politics. When I speak to institutional investors or get our CEO and CFO ready to speak to institutional investors, I’m expected to be their go to for any and all information and have every answer at my fingertips. As such, when its a slow industry report week in hospitality like this week is, and end of the quarter financials aren’t ready, I spend a lot of time on WSJ, FR, Drudge, CNBC, Yahoo Finance and a few other places. One of the things our investors expect us to know is how tax reform would impact us as well as our business guests (~65% of our business is business travelers) so I’ve spent a lot of time on it this week. And yes, I make $300/hr on consulting calls in my old industry about once a week (supermarket). Not sure why you seem so uptight lol
And yet you cannot correctly state the present tax brackets and make calls here without even knowing what breakpoints are for the tax brackets!
I am not uptight. Just suspicious.
