Apple is a $4.35 trillion corporation. It made $112 billion in profits last year & paid its CEO, who's already worth $2.9 billion, $74 million in compensation. In the past 3 years, it's spending $310 billion on stock buybacks.
Don't cite inflation. Cite the damn corporate greed.
We are destroying the world so these inane freaks can keep their vast unearned and unsustainable wealth. They are not creating great wonders of the world, they’re utterly banal mediocrities—all the work is being done by compound interest and capital gains. https://t.co/oIo8CSNWYB
Either a dead cat has landed on the desk, or Vance is venting his genuine fury that Trump listened to Israel, and not him, and launched the misconceived attack on Iran.
Applebaum: Putin has presented a fake image of Russia to the world. He talks about leading a traditional society
In reality, divorce is very high, abortion is common, very few Russians go to church and less than 5% have ever read a Bible. It's not a traditional culture at all 1/
Trying to imagine what would happen if a Muslim or Arab pundit wrote ‘Dust off the nukes. Maybe test one.’
But no one bats an eyelid when an Israeli pundit says it. This is what racism and double standards look like.
This man fanatically supported the Iran war.
The Iran war he zealously cheered on was a predictable catastrophe.
But now he claims somehow to be proven right.
These warmongers have been completely humiliated.
Again.
They must never be listened to ever again.
This is so humiliating for the EU - and @kajakallas.
They’ve bent over backwards for Israel.
They’ve taken no meaningful action against Israel’s genocide, war crimes, occupation and apartheid.
And still Israel thumbs its nose at these collaborators!
Now the digital penny drops. Farage said the £5 Million he was given by a Crypto dude, was for nothing - and also for different things, like personal protection and or achieving Brexit (what an achievement) - clearly struggling to explain it. And we likewise struggle to understand it. Now we see that the Bank of England have their own Crypto currency in mind and Nigel Farage, the man that thousands of people literally paid to say anything they wanted him to, has leapt to his donors defence, urging the Bank to drop their plans. And now the £5 Million makes more sense. If we needed any more reasons to ban all donations to political parties - we just got a whopper. We can end this endless scandal fest for the price of a packet of crisps a year - check out Babelfish for details. https://t.co/eR7LuYLqQF

It was in this palace in June of 1919 that the President of Germany Gustav Bauer signed the treaty of surrender and agreed to pay restitution to the allies. Trump is clueless as to what he just did.
