That’s totally understandable. The numbers mean the same thing. I appreciate you taking time to make these. They’re really insightful.

I went with "cost of sales" as this is what Walmart calls the line in their SEC filing.

And I used the terms "gross profit", "operating profit" and "net profit" for consistency (consistently "profit"). Accounting has synonyms and that's ok.

I tend to get worried if companies report any "adjusted" metrics.

Those add up to 101

The dotted line in the diagram marks the boundary of Paris.

Choosing Notre-Dame as center is strange, as the nexus of the Paris transportation network is Les Halles, just a neighborhood away.

Notre-Dame is point zero of the French geodetic network and of the French road network - but that is not relevant to a mass transportation isochrone.

I had a friend group that I stuck with since elementary school, but they started excluding me/ getting too cool for me so i went to join another friend group, which pissed them off more. Stupid high school drama, you know how it is. I'm not close with anyone from high school anymore-- my best friends right now are friends of old friends and psych classmates. MADD often stems from childhood trauma, but there is at least one documented case where it just sorta appeared with no apparent emotional cause, which was treated successfully with OCD medication.

slideshow presentation project i made for a class. it's short, but it also links to the studies referenced on each slide for a more in-depth look.

Thank you for the compliment!

I'm not entirely sure what drew me to psychology in the first place, but knowing what makes people tick (or tick incorrectly) mentally/emotionally and physically is just so interesting to me. People really are living in totally different worlds based on what kinds of thought processes we use to translate reality into a personal human experience, and the vast majority we are completely unaware of. I think I was sold on psychology when I worked in a preschool and unconsciously made it my mission to better understand and help my toddlers. I was doing therapy work without realizing it, sometimes! I can talk about this shit for hours fr.

May I ask, what makes you so curious? Are you also into psych in some way? Or does MADD specifically interest you? I've never had someone interview me this thoroughly lol, not even my therapist!

Bruins are going to clinch by early March while Metro goes full thunderdome, as if it isn't always the thunderdome...but I mean FULL...until April.

What type of scale is that?

honestly this feels like how much trillion dollar companies should be making. if every company made these margins and put that money into salaries and improving the company we would have a significantly better country

Nice visualization. Can you do one for Chevron?

I mean, yea this is what your typical Econ class calls it but I’ve seen it called a few different things in different businesses. The chain I work for calls it Gross Margin and Net Margin. We also use cost of sales. Typically restaurants I’ve managed call it COGS.

Edit: Nitpicking something as small as “cost of sales” vs. “cost of goods sold” is pretty pedantic.

It’s not gaap. Period. It doesn’t show u how much money a company actually makes. Period.

Typical net margins in the industry are about 1-2%. But that’s not ever really talked about because $20 billion profit sounds way better when people are referencing corporate greed. Nobody realizes how hard it is to even pull razor thin margins. Or the risk it takes to put that kind of money into a business in the hope you can make those margins. My store will do about 10 million In sales this year. The net profit will probably be right at 100,000. A 1% increase in wages and we are no longer profitable without increasing prices. It’s a balancing game where you have to be looking to cut costs anywhere you can while still being competitive in the job market.

So some places are so close they are blue-shifted and some are so distant they are red-shifted? Just how big is Paris anyway?

Create 2 million jobs and pay 6 billion in taxes and Uncle Sam will give you the same benefits

Need to pay more taxes though, any profit is bad /s

OP pulled the terms and data from Walmarts own earnings report.

Need to see target and Costco as well

How would the chart look if we acknowledged the foreign origin of the language we call English?

Man where do I start. First it’s called cogs not cost of sales, secondly it’s not gross profit and operating profit… it’s operating income and gross income… secondly it’s operating income is your operating revenue -operating expenses. Ebitda = operating income-overhead, gross income = ebitda-depreciation. Net income = gross- taxes.

I'd consider it a native language.

Standard deduction for a single filer is a little under $14K... that doesn't even cover rent in a lot of places.

You're absolutely right.. I have no idea what I'm talking about here. I guess I just expected a larger net profit percentage that what is illustrated here.
