Oh sorry, my bad. I had no idea I didn't enjoy a warm rainy day.

97 and rainy is amazing. The rain cools you down but it's not cold.

If it's 37 and rainy it's still cold and unpleasant. That's all I meant.

Of course, I didn't mean to imply that it was a normal winter or that the temperatures were completely normal. On days we normally would have gotten snow we got rain because it was like 37.

I was only meaning I would have preferred to get some snow days rather than just cold rainy days.

Nah this winter sucked. It was cold like normal, but without the snow there was no sledding or snowball fights or any of the actual fun that is supposed to come with winter. It was like a Florida winter. Just cold.

Well if 156,000 people got $1000 each it would be $156 million. You're right each worker could have gotten $673. $91 seems pretty far off from $673 to me, but I don't know what your yearly salary is.

Maybe you were at the upper end of qualifying applicants?

Definitely not arguing that the Murdoch family sucks. I guess I just don’t understand the ways in which stock price affects things like advertising revenue and new developments. Oh well, thanks for shining some light on that. :)

I don’t think it does. Like, for example if I had 100 shares and was selling them and you bought them, you would be increasing my net worth. In a very indirect way you’re making the stock price go up (though likely a minuscule amount) and I guess that technically increases their net worth. But it only really matters if they’re selling stock after you affected the stock price.

When you buy their stock it's not really giving them money. Not directly anyhow. Unless they just happen to be the one selling the shares, but I think most companies are more interested in buying shares than selling right now (from my limited understanding).

We need to end standard time. This is bullshit.
