Religious atheists are atheists who follow religion while irreligious theists are theists who don't follow religion.

ELI5: What do you do with Goodwill? (Econ)

TLDR: Goodwill in economy, what to do after it appears, thanks.

I get why they appeared, but I'm still confused what exactly do you do next. Say that there is a goodwill, you've written it and it's there. What do you do with that? Do you just leave it alone forever, or is it depreciated somehow?

If it's simply left alone, is it something that keep growing or growing, or is negative goodwill somehow is used to offset the goodwill, and how would that work? Again, I get why they appeared, and why negative goodwill appeared, but what exactly is the next step after you have it?

For example, if A has fair value of 50, and then someone bought A for 150, resulting in 100 being written as Goodwill... What do you do next? Is that 100 just there forever? Do you try to somehow make it so that the 100 slowly becomes 50 through depreciation or something? Someone please tell me what do you do with that 100, thanks.

(Not sure if I need to say this, I'm not talking about human kindness nor the thrift store)

Edit: damn. Seems like you get downvoted for asking question.

Am I correct in my understanding that the US government doesn't give any healthcare related subsidies for the average citizens?

I've made a post relating tax and healthcare recently. But it seems that I had completely misunderstood the US government spending. What I thought was happening with the US national budget was that,

>People pay taxes > the US national budget > ~25%ish used for healthcare > subsidiaries for doctors and hospital for the people

I know that the US doesn't have universal healthcare, that's not the part that surprised me. However, I always took it to mean, "the US doesn't have free healthcare". I always thought that obviously the US would spend the budget for its citizens, it's just wasn't enough or something or maybe they splurged for fancy medical techs innovation.

However, the more I look at the US government spending, I've realised that I'm using the word "healthcare" loosely. That 25%ish is made up for mostly medicaid and medicare, which is, correct me if I'm wrong, not for all citizens, is it?

So if you don't have those, do you LITERALLY pay 100% of your medical bill from your own pocket? Without anything from the government? Of course, there's insurance, but you also pay for those, right? Like, it's just 100% you, 0% government?

Excuse my Indonesian, how tf you guys are alive?

How come the US citizens pay the most taxes for healthcare individually out of any countries and brag about having low tax?

What good thing did Trump do?

Let's be optimistic today. Trump had done many wonderful things like bringing the East Asia closer by putting tariffs on the world, for example. Japan, China and South Korea hated each other so much, but with Trump present, they've settled their differences and embraced stronger trades between the three of them.

As an Indonesian, I think Trump present a weird dynamic to my country. Perhaps because of him, the 'neutral' state of Indonesia is simply stronger than ever. On one hand, because of Trump, China should logically get closer to Indonesia. This is like the best time ever for them to make advance, since many infrastructure like High-Speed Rail in Indonesia were depending on China's investment and technology. So logically, after the tariffs, China should be able to easily entice Indonesia with investing more infrastructures or other deals.

Yet somehow, our president was clinging to the US so much, even joining the Board of Peace. It's a bit weird too, since Indonesia is also on BRICS, which Trump threatened 100% tariffs on. We're somehow on both of the opposite spectrum. Perhaps a bit weird to call it a win, but hey, more neutrality for us is a small win nonetheless.

Is it a hot take to say the anime is better than the manga?

Ignoring the art style difference, I genuinely think that it has way better flow than the manga could ever do. My biggest annoyance with the manga is how the story is so one dimensional, in the terms of how the plot goes from A to B, while ignoring most of the world building that should've be done before the payout.

For example, so many of the dialogue in Boruto is a great antithesis of, "don't show, tell" with how much of dialogue were just done for lore exposure alone. Like how Amado's dialogue in Naruto & Sasuke vs Jigen exist to loredump to the viewers without us actually seeing, just listening to this guy's rambling. Although the anime can't obviously cut those loredump, I think it had done a great job of trying to condense the exposition vs the action. So less of a tell more of showing.
