In October, he published a list of donors to the project. Alongside tech companies and weapons manufacturers was a Russian-born US businessman, Konstantin Sokolov.
Sokolov is building a £1.8bn AI datacentre in Gibraltar, the enclave’s biggest outside investment.
just adds more to her theory
Sounds like a man that is running from his demons
Yep, senators and congress people are not afraid of Vance like they are of trump. It would/will be an interesting turn of events if ol’ couch fucker gets a shot at the big desk.
I think it’s more that Buddhism states that because we suffer (attach ourselves to emotions, feelings and stuff) that we can be Content. That when we no longer attach to these hindrances then you’ve reached Nirvana (Contentment)
isn’t this Buddhism in a nutshell?
taxes the government steals from us
No it’s not the government that is stealing from us its the Uber wealthy that use our tax money (that should be going to the greater good of the citizens of the country) for their own gain.
That is exactly what I did. I’m not a maths person. So maybe me trying to do math in a internet comment section wasn’t the best decision.
Honestly I get paid once a month but I know some of my friends have 2 paydays a month so it’s still out there in the wild
I love breaking down these huge salaries into 2 week chunks because I think it brings the disparity into perspective more for people since most of us get paid 2x a month.
For $75 million that is a twice a week paycheck (I know CEOs don’t get paid this way) of $3,125,000!
That’s the total of 1000 employees 2 week paychecks if they all made ~ $40 an hour
Just to put $10 million a year into better perspective: that is ~ $833,000 per month or ~$208,000 each Week! for one year
When the government just takes the tax money and gives it to the wealthy there really is no reason to have to go through the act of building a business and hoping people buy your product or service.
I’ve always felt like Star Wars the original 3 (4,5 and 6) were a product of their time. They aren’t bad movies but they aren’t great movies either, but for whatever reason they struck a chord with the population in the late 70’s and early 80’s. George Lucas should have just let them be there really was no reason to make any more of them, but money.
I’ve had a conversation with a couple of trump supporters that are also outdoors people (hunting, fishing, camping). And they use the public lands for most of their hobbies. They told me that this is what would get them to question their vote.
While there are many things that I feel should have gotten them to this question sooner like illegally deporting people, raises prices of everything, etc. etc. But I wonder how many others on the fringe of this cult that are outdoors people this legislation will piss off?
This speaks to a broader issue -
whenever there is an economic crisis, whether manufactured by trump or created in other ways, its never the rich that have to sacrifice its only the middle and lower classes. And when the wealthy are ever asked to sacrifice in the form of higher taxes they get pissed off and call everyone else a “taker” of their money.
I genuinely believe that most people understand this but our collective voices have been muted, manipulated and managed by some in positions of power.
Wonder why? Seems to me like a money printing machine for them, the factory and non- factory repair shops and the aftermarket.
Unless it’s seen as a way to hide your car from illegal activities, which well now that I think about it is probably the reason they didn’t follow through with the idea.
Give it time and there will be the option of Gigantic Corp paying for your teeth if you grow their logo on them.
Fuck you, JD
I seem to remember a story from trumps first term that there was a few hundred children that went missing from their detention centers and ICE didn’t have a clue as to where they went.
Did this happen? And was there any follow up?
Because if it’s true then ICE has been at the very least turning a blind eye towards human trafficking for years.
I think that most billionaires are clueless to how savagely hated they are by the larger population.
Or we could all just be a bunch of “tourist” visiting a city - just like all the “tourist” that “just visited” the capitol on January 6th 2021.
