This week Microsoft announced 3,200 staff at Xbox will lose their jobs.
Sen. Bernie Sanders commented on the layoffs:
“Last year, Microsoft made $101 billion in profits, got a $12.5 billion tax break from Trump & paid its CEO $96 million.”
“This year, it’s raising the price of an Xbox by $150 & eliminating 3,200 jobs. Please don’t tell me corporate tax breaks create jobs. It never trickles down.”
To recap:
• HBO Max doesn't renew deal with Sesame Street
• Netflix picks up Sesame Street
• Netflix announces it's buying HBO Max

6yo: If there are an infinite number of numbers, there must be one named a googoobazillion.
