... any country colonized by Spain will look like that. Cause, yk, they killed almost all the indigenous people. It's nothing special. You can also learn today that in all of the south hemisphere the seasons are "reversed". It isn't that the summers are cold, it's winter here and summer where you are, at the same time.

Yeah no surprise im mexican and here 60% or more of the country is low class and the elite is like 0.something, im thankful im middle high class but the standard of living would rise so much if we could get more people to the middle class, sadly both the government and of course the cartel f@#% up anyone that wants to have its own business.

in Dominican Republic you can have a home worker who will do your laundry every week and cook on weekdays, you come home at 12pm and lunch is served every day. You don’t even have to be rich, just have your office of something. $200-300 a month gets you that.

Why should I care about inequality if I lived there? Having affordable food cooked from scratched, having the house cleaned every day and having laundry done every week. I’m not letting go of that.

I didn't say anything about banning tik tok or even regulating it. Don't put words in my mouth. And no, I don't think you should have seen those things as a young child, at least without someone helping you deal with them.

Alcohol nor cigarettes are banned, but that doesn't mean we can't view them as generally unhealthy in most cases.

You got it.

Not that you care about the boring accounting stuff, but there are three main financial statements: (i) income statement or profit and loss statement, (ii) balance sheet, and (III) cash flow statement.

The income statement is exactly what it sounds like. It includes your revenues (sales) and expenses, and it shows your profit or loss for the period. This does not, however, always (or even often) represent the cash profit or loss of the business. A business can stack up a lot of cash and show a loss, or they can show a big profit and be bleeding cash. The reason is that generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) is accrual accounting, so you match the revenue or expense to the period that it's received or incurred in.

Say you sell a three-year subscription to a thing and collect all the cash up front. You'd only count 1/3rd of that revenue in the first year. Cash-wise, you've got all that cash on hand, but accountin-wise, your revenue is 1/3rd of the cash you received. Similarly, on the expense side, your customer would so the same thing. All the cash goes out immediately, but only 1/3rd of the expense would be recognized in the first year.

That beings us to the balance sheet. The revenues / expenses not yet recognized would be captured as either deferred revenue or prepaid expenses. You'd also see your cash balance here.

The cashflow statement (the thing this graph is showing) reconciles the income statement to the balance sheet. Starting from the very bottom of the income statement, net income, it adds back the change in all the relevant balance sheet accounts. An increase in accounts payable (money you owe people like vendors, suppliers, etc.) would be a source of cash (since you recognized the expense, but you haven't actually paid for it yet). Similarly, an increase in accounts receivable (money you're owed) would be a use of cash, since you recognized the revenue, but you haven't received cash for it yet.

Beyond those, you'd also have non-cash items like amortization of intangible assets (like a patent that now has one less year of useful life), depreciation (the reduction in the value of an asset, say a car or a piece of machinery, that is now closer to the end of its useful life), etc. You'd also see investments like buying back stock, buying equipment, machinery, land, etc., buying stock in another company, etc. As well as a handful of other things.

Clear as mud?

And you honestly, genuinely in your heart of hearts, think that is worse than all the shit I saw on 4chan and LiveLeak as a child?

To the point that we need to ban TikTok because the algorithm is just that toxic, but me seeing a beheading when I was like nine was okay? Those parts of the internet were and are fine?

Or is your argument that those are also a problem and we need a "great firewall of America" where only approved websites are allowed to grace our delicate children's eyes?

How do you differentiate between individual responsibility, parental responsibility, and governmental responsibility for online content?
