Reread my 2nd post.
Reread your FIRST Post
This is why we but heads, your comprehension skills need some work.
People are going to lose the money one way or another.
IF its via tax, the government gets it and nobody cares.
IF its via donation, they look like good guys and get more opportunities to make more money.
Pay some 'goodwill' money and get opportunites to get more. For the record, it is NOT all about Money, but opportunities. Not least of which could be who you get to date by being a 'good guy who donates to charity'.

So why would you not choose to donate it?
So....jump up and down and cry foul and call me whatever name you wanna think of, but perhaps before you do that you look in the mirror and ask the question....did i make an incorrect assumption when i went off?
You know what they say about when you assume....
Other people get it. Let it go.

No.
Which is why i wasnt implying what shawny said i was implying.
There are a million and 1 ways to benefit from things, shawny assumed there was 1.
I listed a couple, but its just the tip of the iceberg.
Kickbacks are another.
I donate to you, you get my fashion label some shelf space in paris and milan.
I donate to you, you give me some inside info on stock tips.
.....get me a good real estate deal.
Rich helping the rich.
Your talking rubbish changed your point added more elements in.
Your last sentence in the original post confirms your incorrect thoughts on donating but of course your wouldnt dare admit you got it wrong.
Fonzee is never wrrrrrrong.
goodnight
Reread my 2nd post.

You guys are making an assumption that this donation is the only tax minimisation strategy.
No.

Not my fault you read something into it that was never said.

Stop your usual spinning to try and be right.
Your post very clearly implied there was no difference giving to charity or getting it taken via tax.
There is big difference as i explained.
The end.
There is a big difference in the hypothetical world you created based on words i didnt say.
On that we can agree.

Not sure i ever said it was equal.
But i did say this....
So sponsors hitch their wagon to Hamilton because everyone loves him and he has a good brand.
Maybe he gets a 50mil deal out of it?
Maybe he gets a Kardashian out of it.
You should enter politics Kruddler and im being serious.
You never admit a wrong and always find an angle to defend😂😂

Incorrect. Its not equal and not equally lost either way.
If LM earned 500M tax for arguments sake at lets say 50 cents in the dollar he is left with 250M (to spend on watches and Kim K)
If he donated lets say 100M as the donation would be fully tax deductible he now pays tax on 400M again for arguments sake at 50 cents in the dollar he is now left with $200M
So LM making the $100M donation left him with 50M less in his hand then if he didnt donate and paid hes tax.
ballpark if you are in the highest tax bracket for every $1 you donate your net loss is 50c for every dollar.
Im not a fan of LH but any donation of that sort of money is still very noble.

He was catching at 1.5 seconds a lap for most of it.Detail matters, the last few laps before Russell and Antonelli pitted, which they did just before the VSC, Hamilton had stopped gaining ground and was only able to hold station.
Some might argue that was a tactic, but I doubt Hamilton would voluntarily cease the chase for anyone!
I'd assert Mercedes had already decided the Ferrari strategy was going to win the day, because they were telling Russell and Antonelli to race Norris who had already pitted and was 25 second behind Hamilton. But make no mistake, the VSC made a huge difference because without it those laps that saw Hamilton build a lead would have been instead laps helping him close a gap to the leaders. He would have had Russell, Antonelli and Norris to pass as after the pit stops only 5 second separated all three.
Yes, details matter. The VSC came too early for him to suit his strategy.
He actually wanted to pit 5-10 laps later. Thats why he slowed when he did, to conserve his tyres.
Hamiltons pace was far superior to everyone else. Passing would've been easy.
Ferrari brought a heap of upgrades and it all worked.

Hamilton had the race in hand and the VSC helped, but wasn't needed.The VSC let him pit and retain the lead, so of course it made a difference!
If there was no VSC he would have surrendered the lead returning a full 10 seconds behind Russell and Antonelli.
The Ferrari looks to be quite good in turbulence and when the track suits, most cars suffer when following but they are able to hold and close without too much trouble, as long as they don't crash or break.
He was catching at 1.5 seconds a lap for most of it.
He extended the lead to 20 seconds after the pit by the end of the race.
The timing of it worked, but he didn't need it. He would've passed them and continued on his way.

His strategy was the best for him.
Mercedes shot themselves in the foot by pitting Russell straight after Hamiltons first stop. This ruined their own strategy and played straight into the hands of Ferrari.
Usually Ferrari find a way to lose, but everything worked out OK for once.
The reliability of the Mercedes is coming into question for the first time in a decade. This shows they are on the limit of what the car can do.
McLaren really need to pull the finger out because they are nowhere at the moment. Looking like the 4th best car. If RBR actually had a 2nd driver, it would be reflected in the constructors standings.

1. My son plays soccer, so i watch that every week.
2. The world cup.
Only today did i learn that there are 48 teams this year, thats how much of an eye i've been keeping on it.
Can anyone share how that came about?
Reeks of someone like Trump wanting bragging rights of 'the biggest' or 'the best'.

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: AFL Rd 13 2026 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Essendon
We all know a player gets penalised in a ruck contest for putting a toe on the line.
A player needs to take his eye off the ball to ensure he doesn't give away a free kick then use his body to keep his opponent away from the ball.
A player gets penalised in a marking contest if he takes his eye off the ball and then uses his body to keep his opponent away from the ball.
Only the AFL could be so obviously contradictory.
F*** the stupid ruck rule off.

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: AFL Rd 13 2026 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Essendon
I don't disagree with that, but why not say that first?
I found it odd that you used the free kick count to justify your thoughts, which doesn't actually help your argument.
what are you talking about?
Sorry i got my posters confused. I thought it was you who posted the ruck comment. It was milhanna replying to you.
