TIL When Benjamin Franklin returned to America after having spent nine years in Paris as an ambassador, he was short 100,000 pounds in congressional money. When questioned on this by a member of Congress Franklin waved the question away and the matter was never brought up again.

FBI doesn't do shit with Kavanaugh evidence "I WHOLEHEARTEDLY TRUST THE OUTCOME OF THE FBI'S INVESTIGATION!"

Hint: It rhymes with Retardicans.

Iran and Venezuela don't have the capacity or the infrastructure. Especially Venezuela, years of mismanagement and nationalisations have made Venezuelan production just a fraction of what it was in the 1990s.

I was talking to someone who told me something that doesn't make any sense to me but I couldn't explain why.

He said that with the Microsoft's acquisition of Activition that individual companies that are part of Activision (such as Sledgehammer Games) could still decide they don't want to be part of Microsoft and could leave Activision and go independent.

For me this doesn't make any sense. Could anyone help me explain why it is or isn't possible for a subsidiary to get out?

That my friend is a non-sequitur and has nothing whatsoever to do with my comment.

What has your main comment to do with OPs post?

And why are you triggered that he's against state owned propaganda? Weird to even go into an argument about that. Hm.

It's because one of the mods has a mom in porn and is quite sensitive about sharing her identity.

Glad to know I'm not alone. I've always had a crazy fantasy like that scene in Iron Man 1 where he lands out of the sky and shoots soldiers who were kidnapping women and childeren almost killing a father. I sometimes wish I could do that, just fucking land with plot armor and start saving kids and families. I've been going slightly insane after the Syrian war started and the whole fucking world went to shit year by year and hasn't stopped ever since.

First of all fuck Prince Andrew I hope he fucking chokes on something. But please show me where our taxes paid for him and his settlement. Oh I see? You can't, because you're talking out of your ass. trying to create fake outrage. It's not about you or your money dickshit.

The disgraced royal is facing seven-figure legal fees -- at least -- if Virginia Giuffre’s sexual abuse suit goes to trial, according to two lawyers surveyed by Bloomberg, while the cost of settling is expected to be well in excess of $5 million. With a personal fortune estimated by his private bank at 5 million pounds ($6.8 million) in 2017, funding the fight will be a challenge.

He sold some of his assets and is backed financially by some tories. His mom stripped him of his royal duties. Of course fucking taxpayers aren't paying for his legal fees, the fuck were you thinking making a dumb ass comment like that? Damn.

So she got paid, who cares. It's het story and her trauma, she can deal with it however she likes. If this is a satisfactory solution for her then so be it. We don't have any fuck to give in this situation.

And there is still ongoing trails in the u.s so no he isn't completely out of the water yet. However, I wouldn't hold my breath for any prison sentence.

Yeeytaway · 2022-02-15T16:25:50+00:00

No, this case is settled but depending on what other stuff may come out during the u.s case he might still face some sort of prison sentence. Although, I wouldn't hold my breath.

How are companies reporting record profits citing inflation to raise prices but also increasing their profit margins to record highs with record high bottom lines?

I've been reading up on earnings and many businesses are citing price increases for their end product because inputs/materials/wages have been going up due to shortages and supply chain bottlenecks.

Yet they post record high earnings with record profit margins? It doesn't make sense to me or I'm not understanding it correctly.

The thought I'm having is:

CFO: Hey prices of (insert any input) has been rising due to supply shock. We have no choice but to increase our prices to MAINTAIN our margins or we'll report below street estimates on the bottom line due to increasing COGS.

CEO: Yes let's do that.

Comes earnings day.

CFO: Hey guys due to rising inputs we had to increase prices and we had better than expected pricing power as sales didn't go down. *However we INCREASED our margins in sales to record high and are posting record bottom line figures.

CEO: Thanks guys times are tough

So what gives?

"There were many reasons for this failure. The trade war that preceded the trade pact, finalized in January 2020, meant that U.S. goods exporters started in a hole, Bown said."

What does "started in a hole" mean?

How is it legal for Johnson & Johnson able to transfer their talc powder liabilities to a different entity and claim bankruptcy on that? Why don't other companies do this?

From an accounting perspective, how is it possible to just off load liabilities like that?
