What os connections planning?

Say you're a manager in a trucking & supply chain company. One of your drivers crashes your truck and leaves some damage on it. Truck is uninsured. Who should cover the repair costs? Me, being the owner of said truck, or the driver, being the one who caused the damage?

I have significant equity in a property (300k+) and maybe another 200k across other properties. I have a decent amount of money in cash and already 200k or so in stocks. Would you consider pulling money through cash out refi and using it? I get nervous for stocks being so high. I have a few properties in pipeline already. How would you suggest using it (if at all).

Can anyone confirm my understanding of a partial Section 121 Exclusion? I bought a house 8 months ago and I am unexpectedly relocating to another city for work. The house is worth about $50k more than when I bought it. My understanding is my unexpected relocation is considered a hardship which qualifies me for a prorated Section 121 exclusion. 8 months out of the required 24 (8/24) = 33%. 33% of $250k = $82.5k excludable gains. This means I should end up without a tax liability, right?

All I hear from higher ups is to not leave before manager because I’ll end up making less or I’ll be behind in my career, etc. Am I being served some strong kool aid? Hoping someone has been in a similar situation and successfully left.

Can we stop calling brands “brave” for putting out certain work? Looking at you, BK Andy spot. We’re not running into burning buildings to save people. It’s a f’in TV commercial.

Have any NYC agencies pushed back their back to office dates?

If you know that a brand is about to drop an agency (and the agency doesn't know yet), do you tell people who work there? I don't know anyone there but this one will hurt them. Bad. 😳

Global spending on advertising in 2017: $590,000,000,000.
