Many of America’s largest corporations shift a surprising portion of their profits overseas to avoid paying taxes. Even more surprisingly, that’s a legal thing to do.
Not surprising. Not shocking. Park your profits overseas and your shareholders profit.
Your workers continue to get paid less than they should.
Many of these companies made their homes in places like Ireland (remember the old days when corporate inversions). Then there are the old standbys like the Caymans and Bermuda.
Cruise lines? They’re American companies, but they’re offshore to avoid all kinds of regulatory oversight. That’s why they’re flagged elsewhere.
Trump’s clothing lines? Made overseas (just throwing that in to see if we’re still paying attention).

Ah yes, fantastic yet tragic is a common thing in many Bollywood movies.
Also great dance bits and brilliant scenes featuring ridiculous “realism” (see the catapult scene, basically that but with a huge budget).
Before cable TV arrived there in the 90s, you had only a select few TV channels in the entire Middle East. One channel in particular, METV, aired in all the countries and had a regular weekly Bollywood film. EVERYONE watched those, across all ages, and almost religiously (with subtitles for the most part, but the real fun was figuring out the plot when there weren’t any).
Hell, watching those once a week was possibly the shared tradition that Israelis, Turks, Jordanians, and Syrians could have built a lasting peace treaty upon…/

Very true. As the saying goes, any attorney who represents himself has a fool for a client.
Off-topic:
The picture from the referenced Vanity Fair article was reportedly from a get-together Friday afternoon. Cohen apparently blew off a hearing in Judge Woods courtroom to be at the ‘get-together’. Reportedly, the people hanging out with Cohen included the son-in-law of a billionaire Russian Oligarch as well as the former CFO of a unit of Duetsche Bank.
Supposedly, the meeting was well publicized, including inviting photographers. From that, I assume that some sort of message was being sent to someone. (Obviously not me. And that’s okay.)

re: #134 Targetpractice
Can I just take a moment to admit that Trump is brought down not for firing Comey, not for shitting all over the law, but because of Stormy Daniels, I may laugh myself to death?
Our British lizards will remember from their history Mandy Rice-Davies and her famous line: “Well, he would, wouldn’t he?”
And it’s been slang’ed to boot: MRDA (Mandy Rice-Davies Applies)…..

He really should probably change his twitter name to something like “the Better Michael Cohen”.

Sad thing is Anderson gave him plenty of chances to back out of it but he kept on digging. No wonder why Boehner hates that guy.

Oh fuck extremely not cool. I think you’re legally entitled to go up there and steal all her stuff now.
All I’m thinking is HOTEL for the rest of my lease.
And packers to come take everything saved away. Their labor, not mine.

My poor kit though. She is the one who discovered it. Saw her staring at this growing puddle from above. Wha?
Called plumber, turned off my water. It’s still flowing. Chica is trying to pad her way through wet carpet to her food bowl.
There’s actually a huge streak of water on the outside of my building. From the 2nd floor down. My neighbor is not home yet. I asked, but never got her #. The property manager for the community called (I have contacts) & is trying to reach her.
Lordy!

Personally, I think every single Republican in the country, from the county dog catcher to the president, is a criminal liar. Every one top to bottom. They need to be eradicated, the entire party. Disbanded completely. A new party needs to be created.
I’m starting to think Fox is part of the Russian long con. Murdoch has ties to Putin. There needs to be a law that American news has to be owned by Americans and that news must be truthful. None of those truthiness bullshit. Differences in opinion are one thing, Fox is a whole different thing.
Until the mass media that divides and lies is addressed, we will never be whole again.

That sounds like a plan. Get out as soon as you can. That place sounds like a nightmare.

Oh, poor Chica! And poor SS!
Happened to my sister awhile back — upstairs neighbors left town and left a window open. In Boston. Weather turned, pipes froze, huge leak and flood on a weekend when the landlady wasn’t answering the phone for hours. Only saving grace was that the major damage was in the bathroom rather than her bedroom or den so she only lost a few books. (Librarian. Owns about 5000 books in a tiny apartment. Yes, there’s a bookshelf in the bathroom too.) Took a couple of months to get it all repaired.
Hope you haven’t lost too much in the deluge, and you can get some strong backs to clear everything out.
re: #160 CleverToad
I will update you!
I’m moving on 6/30.
The water is still pouring. Been at least 3 hours.
This looks like a negotiation of getting out of my lease early/hotel stay for a month + movers.
again, lordy.

Sheesh. You’ll have to send updates from the ark as this saga progresses.
Will keep fingers crossed for you and hope it’s not too much of a financial hit. Refund of half of April’s rent for a start.

Greets and saluts from the Resistance in the NYC metro area after a day where we got nearly 3 inches of rain in a couple of hours and saw flash floods all day long (phones were going off all morning long with flash flood warnings in waves).
But it’s not the rain that has me writing this morning. It’s the Stormy weather in Trumpworld. Hannity is in deep trouble, and he still doesn’t quite get it. Fox is in trouble here too, but they might know it. It starts with ethics in journalism.
Hannity’s ethics under fire https://t.co/DxCINwClkZ pic.twitter.com/cKg3HBQ9MK
— POLITICO (@politico) April 17, 2018
Hannity had ethics?
Fox has ethics?
No. Just no.
Stop right there.
Hannity has the ethics of a limp noodle that can be twisted and turned however he sees fit. He’s got a certain moral flexibility that allows him to continually lie and misrepresent facts and the state of the world to perpetually keep his viewers/listeners misinformed for years on end.
Hannity is an amoral agitprop merchant. It’s what he does and it’s who he is.
And Fox News lacks any morals or ethics either. After all, they’re the same outfit that paid off women for sex harassment claims and then gave the harassers golden parachutes to get out.
Oh, and did I mention that the golden parachutes were more money than the settlements?
Fox should have canned Hannity after the Seth Rich debacle, except they didn’t. They stood by him even after the family of Rich demanded that he stop spreading nonsensical conspiracy theories about their son’s death - which Hannity tied to Clinton.
The family is suing Fox; and frankly they have a damned good case.
The fact that Hannity has had Cohen on and never disclosed that Cohen was his lawyer is a huge no-no. Heck, there’s a reason that when media outlets like ABC do reporting on movies, they have to add the disclaimer that Disney is the parent company to ABC. It’s to avoid the appearance of impropriety.
Hannity doesn’t give a crap about any of that. He’s more interested in dumping on Clinton and deflecting attention from Trumpworld. That he’s now watching it all crumble down around him is… not quite justice, but it is the start of schadenfreude.
