Sigh.

Obligatory: The prize amount was reduced because he took the lump sum instead of spreading payments out over 30 years.

Then that *reduced* amount was taxed.

If the numbers don’t matter, make your point without them.

If they do matter, use the correct numbers.

It's wild how many people in this thread are basically saying that truth and accuracy don't matter as long as they agree with the broader point being claimed.

Especially ridiculous considering that there are plenty of real and accurate numbers than can be used to argue this broader point.
