I can't listen to the audio at work.
Lydia: Its removal from Burma is a felony and when triggered it has the power to melt human eyeballs.
Giles: In that case I've severely underpriced it.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

He could mean that. It isn't clear from the quote.

Yeah, I just went over and looked. He sort of means personal income. His point was that, while his businesses pulled in $6.3 million:
Fleming responded by saying that while his businesses made $6.3 million last year, after you “pay 500 employees, you pay rent, you pay equipment, and food,” his profits “a mere fraction of that” — “by the time I feed my family, I have maybe $400,000 left over.”
OK, he actually seems to say he makes $600,000 net income, then ends up with $400,000 to reinvest. So, I guess his take-home is $200,000 from his businesses.

Because books.
Wait, people have money left over after they feed their families?!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh god, it's brilliant. [link] She says, Your business made $6.3 million. He says, Sure, but after I pay the employees, etc., my takehome is only a fraction of that -- $600K. So then by the time he feeds his family, he only has $400K left to reinvest in the business.

BECAUSE IT COSTS $200K TO FEED HIS FAMILY.

And he seems to have no idea that what he just said is "let them eat cake"?

Yeah, if ALL I wanted were to have a roll in the hay, I imagine that's not so hard to find. It's that that's really not all I want.
I blame my lack of getting any on Teh Gay (and therefore smaller number of people, and the fact that girls are not easy). At least when I'm feeling self-confident. If not, I blame it on myself and the fact that I am clearly ugly, fat, and boring. Y'know, like you do.
Make of that what you will. And if it ever happens, share pictures of naked Taye Diggs, please.
I would totally watch that.
When I was single, I attracted guys who were smart, nice and funny, and who wanted to be my friend so they could ask for my advice with the girls they actually liked.
I DO have a lot of hot friends...but at some point they become friends and not hot people.

Um, clearly, if that is what dating a boy gets ya! :)

Rough life. Wow. (200K to feed the fam? IS HE A DUGGAR?!)
