To clarify, this data is not for myself. I have a job

The data pathways/procedures displayed are essentially for a person heading into or wanting to look for a job. This is a consolidation of everyone’s posts, situations, of all these different subreddits like the r/recruitinghell sub, the r/antiwork sub, other subs or regular news trends, list goes on and on since the pandemic lightened up, technology changed and people went back to work

It’s just a formulated data map, like a heads up of what everyone’s going through or will possibly face in terms of trying to find a job in various industries.

The personal rejection of a job is just a situation of where someone didn’t like that job that they applied to. They took the interview and it didn’t fit for them for whatever reason. They went with another opportunity. Maybe the commute was too long. Maybe a parent took a better job for their family. Job candidate misunderstood the job ad or maybe in the interview it didn’t go too well.

Candidates ghost employers, as much as employers ghost job candidates also. I put it up their level the plying field a bit.

True, should've counted pretax. I wonder what the other cheater companies are doing that Capital can't afford to do? Seems like they should be able to take advantage of as many scummy loopholes as the next 800lb gorilla. I don't believe for a moment that they pay one red cent more than they can get away with, or do it out of the goodness of their greedy little hearts.

Is this evidence of stronger corporate tax laws than we are generally given to believe? Or, more likely, is there other financial monkey business that can be done after this calculation that effectively reduces the total tax:profit ratio?

Your larger point is valid and stands. At the same time this may be due to compulsion and not by choice. If they could domicile in caymen and still offer financial services in US, they would.

Also, being a bean counter here, but the tax paid is little over 20%. Should be calculated as percentage of pre-tax income, and dividend is taken out of the net income after tax.

As for actual advice, you might save some by buying components yourself and getting quotes just for installation.

You can buy panels for around 60c/watt, inverters for 30c/watt, and the balance of components for a few thousand on top of that. If labor is about $50/hr, you'll get about 3 man-days of work per $1,000. Most residential install crews are 3-4 people, and they can do a system in 1 day. Double or even triple that and you're still in the $3k-$4k range for install labor. $1.50/watt all in is do-able. Minus solar credit, and perhaps local credits, $1.00/watt is not unheard of.

If you can get equivalent of 5x system capacity in kWh per day, on a 10kW system that's 50kWh per day. 8c/kWh price would be $4-5/day, $100+/month. $15k - 10kW ($10k with credits) system pays off in 100 months or less (8.3 yrs).

That's the math I am penciling out for my own home renovation and install later this year.

27kw system!?

Unless you live in a giant mansion, or in a warehouse, there is no way that much solar is going to fit on your roof.

Most houses will max out around 8-10kW, unless they are very large, or have their entire roof area optimally oriented in single large planes.

Even the most advanced panels these days make 20 watts per SF. To get 27,000 watts you would need almost 1,500-2,000 SF of roof area completely covered. Considering most roof profiles have 1/4 to 1/2 of their roof planes pointed away from the sun, you probably need a 4,000+ SF single story house (or 6-8k SF two-story).

Not to mention, a lot of utilities limit the size of residential solar. I've seen as low as 10-15kW limits if you're on a single-phase 240v service.

But if you can get away with it, more power to ya! With a system that size you could probably get bids from commercial contractors who may be a little more cost effective, and won't have to charge as much overhead to cover their army of door-knockers.

It’s neat to see my neighbors putting more into wind energy!

Meanwhile, my more reluctant Nebraskans have that ugly ass “No More Wind Turbines” in their yards/fields.

We’ll get there..eventually. At this point, it’s a guess if we’ll legalize marijuana or be more reliant on wind first. My money is on the latter.
