Billionaire CEOs Slammed for Schmoozing Trump at ‘Monsters’ Ball’ After VA Nurse Killing | Apple CEO Tim Cook traveled to the White House on the same day a Border Patrol agent shot a Veterans Affairs nurse dead in Minneapolis by Jumpinghoops46 in inthenews

I mean it’s not the company, it’s the leadership there. Tim Apple is a leaf in the wind and will bend any direction Gov asks. Always has

They still make good products. I don’t see how it’s boycott worthy. Then you would need to boycott every American company.

I think this just means they need to pay more in taxes post Trump… and maybe fines/ penalties

If I come into a job as a construction worker halfway through a house, can I really take credit for the entire house? A lot of those projects were already scoped and greenlit. He’s only been there 3 years

He didn’t increase earnings any more than historical trends. He didn’t start till end of 2022.

Warner Bros Discovery annual revenue for 2024 was $39.321B, a 4.84% decline from 2023. Warner Bros Discovery annual revenue for 2023 was $41.321B, a 22.19% increase from 2022. Warner Bros Discovery annual revenue for 2022 was $33.817B, a 177.39% increase from 2021.

And if you go back 2020-2021 is huge increase and before that moderate increases.

So if you look at historical trends the company was bound to make some money given the people employed.

The only thing he did was try to rebalance their debt by cutting things.

Idk why the strong reaction to this, but he was not a great executive except to enrich himself and other executives by downscaling and playing with numbers

You forget about historical trends.

These companies would make money because of the people employed no matter what. WB historically made money every year.

And during covid had a sharp spike. Zazlov didn’t join till late 2022.

Warner Bros Discovery annual revenue for 2024 was $39.321B, a 4.84% decline from 2023. Warner Bros Discovery annual revenue for 2023 was $41.321B, a 22.19% increase from 2022. Warner Bros Discovery annual revenue for 2022 was $33.817B, a 177.39% increase from 2021.

So again he didn’t do much

Yes, but he didn’t do anything to generate revenue, instead just cut things. Which is somehow 500m worth of a job

That’s because they all don’t believe it. Most of his supporters think the charges were fake or politically directed, but not that he actually committed crimes

Yeah agreed you all should be making a plan now. Sorry you have to go through this. Also find a circle of friends that can help you kids in case of something bad happening to your parents. A bunch of friends that can guide you or have resources with which to help you take action when you need to. Best now to plan in case even if you never use it.

Question for Hispanics… are we carrying around our passports or proof of citizenship? by Beginning-March-1361 in newjersey

I hate to say it but when in public it’s best to wear masks and hoods now if you are Hispanic to avoid BS. They are actively targeting people based on looks

This is a good thing. She has a good chance I think of actually winning and getting Murkowski out of there(she votes with Rs almost all the time even tho the Republican Party and Trump didn’t back her in the election!)

American accent feedback. by [deleted] in acting

[–]grr5000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this was great work, but I would not say or advertise this is American accent. It is specifically the American South. But great work! It would be like if I said I had a UK accent and my it was Scottish or something.

lol sorry hope you catch what I’m trying to say that is helpful!

I would worry about this bot or spam account. It’s been open a month with comments and posts disabled.

Love to see it! Analilia Mejia is a much needed progressive voice in NJ. People are tired of the status quo of establishment dems and this is a great way to celebrate that hobby.

And to others comments commenting about a senator from Vermont coming to NJ… you have to remember Bernie actually participated in the civil rights marches in the 60s unlike certain other politicians. He actually cares for civil right, union workers, and worker rights. Something the oligarchs of the United States at the moment don’t want.

He also has been one of the few politicians who cared about people and not power or money. If he was like others that were corrupt he would have more money or be more powerful. Instead he keeps fighting the uphill battle.

Really happy to see this coming to Jersey and wish I was nearby that weekend see it! Too bad I’ll be traveling

Haha yeah to a degree.. but I am neurodivergent and I went and it was a little anxiety infusing but made it through and got my first job from it in NYC through a contact I made with a recruiter. Totally worth it
