So 10% of their yearly net profit. Not bad. We can do better though.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I mean, i can try, but I don't think they let us people access their hosting servers.
Good.
Don’t you hate it when you donate a million to bribe an incoming president and then lose billions?
Any billionaire would take this deal. The hit is in imaginary money (i.e. stock/corporate assets) that won't affect their daily lives and in return they get unspecified favors from the (other) oligarchs.
What? They sold a ton of assets before the drop because Trump told them it was incoming.
And they'll buy them at the dip. Sell high. Buy low.
That's why they bribed him, and they're getting crazy rich from it.
This isn't real money they lose.
I really hope trump pulled one of those surprise handshake-tugs he was doing back in the day, lol
Meta shares have dropped about 19% to $499.36 since Trump was officially sworn in as U.S. president for the second time.
Serious question: how is this garbage valued so high? Spying? Selling user data?
Speculation and selling users buying habits, yes.
Bullshit. Zoom out. Temp lowered assets. Meanwhile they'll use their reserves to buy up competitors and investments for stupid low as the smaller companies are forced to sell to stay afloat.
This is how they make money, not loose money. Is CNBC really so dumb?
Oh no!
The more I hear about billionaires losing billion's the more I appreciate the tariffs.
Good. Deserved. You could have voted for democracy but instead hitched your wagon to a criminal.
Schmuckerberg lost more by trying to dodge taxes than he would have if he'd just paid them. LOL
In any tariff war there are going to be winners and losers.
Oh well.
