What type of job do you have that you can afford to be so smug about this?

Oh, and I cannot post the name of my fiance's company for obvious reasons. He posts here, and I don't want to blow his anonymity. But looking back over my posts, I do see that I made a typo. Not 24 billion, that's just dumb. It was supposed to be Two Point Four. I should type it like that from now on.
No, no, no, Mrs. Greenjeans. A $10 billion loss doesn't mean that they still made $196 billion. LOL. It means that, when everything was said and done, salaries, suppliers, taxes, etc. were paid; they had $10billion less in the bank. In other words, they earned $206 billion but spent $216 billion last year. Well, at least we we now know you don't understand the difference between revenue and profit.

As for not being able to post the name of your fiance's company, either your very paranoid or...... Even if the company only made a $2.4billion profit in a quarter, it's still a huge company with hordes of employees. I hardly doubt that stating the company's name here would jeopardize his anonymity. It's like me stating that I live in San Jose, CA. Huh? What's that?? The cops are at the door! Oh nooooooooooooooooo
