In all fairness, I don’t think any of this crazy is coming from Trump. It’s the perfectly sane fascists he has hired.

Chevron’s $220 million award against Ecuador is far below the more than $3 billion the company had sought, and represents legal fees the firm spent related to its Ecuadorian operations, including costs spent defending itself against a class-action-style lawsuit that resulted in a $9.5 billion judgment against the company, issued in 2011.
The validity of that Ecuadorian judgment, a ruling affirmed by the country’s highest court, was at the heart of the ISDS arbitration. In 2018, the arbitrators declared the $9.5 billion judgment fraudulent, finding that Ecuadorian courts had treated Chevron unfairly and that the government was wrong to let the ruling stand.
The 2018 ruling was based on evidence that the lawyers who had won the $9.5 billion judgment did so by forging an expert’s signature, blackmailing a judge, facilitating the ghostwriting of a key piece of evidence and bribing other Ecuadorian judges — acts the lawyers either denied or said weren’t illegal in Ecuador at the time.
Interesting.
I think they would say it is all taken out of context. But that’s because they are purposefully ignoring what the actual issues are. Like DEI is not about hiring unqualified people, but they will act like that’s what it’s all about.

They’re not real veterans.
Thanks for being the voice of reason!
There’s so many awful things these people are doing, we don’t need to make stuff up to get mad about.
This is going out of their way to be racist.
I just saw a new report in the break room giving suggestions for lowering your heat bill. Things like keeping temperature below 68. At no point did it suggest QUIT USING AI.
Do we like Proton? I never know which VPN company I can truly trust.

I’m honestly fine with companies not paying taxes so long as their profits are being spent on people in lower tax brackets.
Current tax structure makes it easy for the company to just give all their profits to their executives.
70% tax on income over $1 million. Go back to a progressive tax structure for company profits. Not sure why my local donut shop is paying the same rate as Microsoft.
