Leasing is financing the depreciation with some additional inefficiencies (room) for the financial participants to make a profit. I suggest corporate income tax law drives the desire to not purchase. Current expenses are often preferred to capital (long-term) expenses.

We work on a number of very high-dollar commercial property transactions and I am struck by how many massive high-tech companies don't want to own their buildings - they all seem to want to lease. And the borrowers want interest only loans when rates are so low.

Curiously enough, leasing is part of the company's name. But there were still sheiks & oil men who felt the need to buy, so boss would find a way to sell. Often going from one of them to the other.

Actually, because we have social workers in our group, we do know. That's why we make the pillowcases. Blessings on peeps like the Mrs. who can work with these heartbreaking cases.

Really ironically, this means that Miller, that vilest of shitstains, is going to be the one to drive the final nail in Trump's coffin. I just hope he does it in the most cowardly manner possible, so I don't have to grudge him even the smallest respect.

Personally, I'd rather have one of those private quadricopters. I believe they may cost even more than private jets, though.

There's no infuriated emoji. 🛫 This is not my new corporate jet, because I'm a non-corporate person. At this point, maybe I'd be better off non-corporeal as well.
