Maybe Jeff was right, doubling his taxes wouldn’t help… because he doesn’t seem to pay any.

New accounts show Amazon UK Services pulled in £8.2bn revenue and £355m profit last year & still paid £0 in corporation tax.

What’s double nothing again?

OPINION: If there were any real profit to be extracted from SpaceX, Anthropic or OpenAI at the offering valuations, do you honestly think they would allow the public RETAIL investors to have all that profit?

Not on your life. Insiders would gobble up all the shares and reap all the profits for themselves.

They aren't taking these companies public because they have angelic hearts and want to "spread the wealth" to the masses while reducing their own take-home wealth. They are taking them public because they need a new wave of bag holders so the insiders can cash out.

If you're buying these IPOs at retail, you're the bag holder. You're the sucker. The insiders are done frontrunning the entire scheme and YOU are their exit cashout.

The only real way to profit from IPOs these days is to be on the ISSUING side of the IPO, while talking up your bag so that the public masses line up to buy your overpriced shares.

FIFA President Infantino tried to force the representative of Palestine to stand with Israel and take a picture at the 76th FIFA Congress

Palestine refused instead shouting out "We are suffering"

FIFA is a sick organization and the World Cup should be boycotted by everyone

Iranian Football Federation announces the 8% ticket quota allocated to Iran has been revoked by the U.S., leaving the federation currently unable to distribute tickets to supporters.

A case study in political interference, discrimination and FIFA looking the other way.

I have 3 missives in last 3 days from brokers suggesting I invest in SpaceX. Why are they so desperate?

[David Z. Morris @davidzmorris]

Fucking NHS. I woke up this morning with some trouble in my eye. Called the optician. Had tests. Sent straight to hospital with a torn retina.

They insisted on giving me laser surgery there and then to fix it. Didn't want any money for the job. Now I'm home again.

How inconsiderate. Joking aside. Remember there are people out there who want to dismantle the NHS.

Ireland must not play Israel at any venue - moving the game doesn’t address the reality that Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinian people.

The USA have blocked the Somali Referee Omar Artan from entering the USA, the Referee who is rated the best in Africa was blocked at entry, so he got the Somalian embassy to give him a Diplomatic Passport.

But the USA still refuses to let him in.

The USA need to be disqualified

[Mary Lou McDonald @MaryLouMcDonald]

🇮🇪 Ireland must not play Israel as Palestinian people endure Israeli genocide, occupation and apartheid. On Tuesday, Sinn Féin bring a motion before the Dáil to support calls to #StopTheGame.

Ireland must take a stand. The FAI must take a stand. Government must take a stand.

Zelensky was told that the Kremlin thought his open letter was “rude”.

His response: “they should’ve seen the first version “

There is an event taking place in London on 14 June that openly advertises the sale of land in Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank - there is no chance the UK government would allow stolen Ukrainian land to be sold off to people in the UK - why the double standards?

[Glenn Tunes @glenn_tunes]

Scottish soccer fans was banned from entering America 🤷
The same happened to several Norwegian journalists and fans the other day 🤷 America should never again host any kind of global sporting event 🤬😤
BOYCOTT AMERICA ✊✊✊✊✊

[Mary L Trump @MaryLTrump]

Donald had a temper tantrum on national television and walked out of an interview simply because Kristen Welker presented him with a basic fact.

Note to other journalists: now is the time to pile on. He won't be able to handle it.

If you're not watching SpaceX (already -29% from all time highs) crash on Hyperliquid before it even IPOs, I don't know what you're doing with your life.

Hegseth in Normandy:
“Sadly today different European beaches are stormed by different dangerous ideologies.”

What a classless, undignified, ignorant fuck, to be lecturing another country on their immigration policies and politicizing a secret veterans Memorial Day. Especially as the most dangerous ideologies in the world come from his racist demented criminal boss

Why @Tesco are your Whoosh drivers asking to take a photo of my passport? I ordered via your app. The driver showed me an app, written in another language, and told me he wanted my passport. It was for fruit, veg and chicken!
