reddogblitz Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Good. Now they'll just have to sell more personal data to raise money to pay the tax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDBillzFan Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 (edited) You know what's funny? That someone can say this..... Quote “It is only right that these global giants, which are profitable in the UK, pay their fair share in supporting our public services,” Hammond said when announcing the new 2% tax, without naming any specific businesses. ...with literally no awareness of what happened to all the other political parties who pushed the ridiculous idea that "it's only right" that people with money "pay their fair share." I half expected Hammond to further explain that these global giants "didn't build that...someone else did it."

B-Man Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 (edited) Can anyone explain why this pro-life campaign ad was rejected by Facebook? (video) We here at Twitchy aren’t pro journalists like Jim Acosta or Chuck Todd, but we do try to verify every claim. Did Facebook really “ban” a pro-life campaign ad for Montana Senate candidate Matt Rosendale? Well, Susan B. Anthony List has the receipts; Facebook clearly said the ad was “disapproved” after “closer review.” Here’s the spot — and in case you’re wondering if it has graphic images of abortion, no, it does not. There’s an image of a sonogram and that’s it. See for yourself: Nothing wrong with that ad. Facebook is openly engaging in election meddling. . Democrats would be out in the streets vandalizing property and assaulting people (even more than they currently do) if the shoe were on the other foot. .

Then it goes away all by itself. Or start a better company and take all of Facebook's customers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, though I'm fairly sure Joe isn't advocating for market based solutions here. If he is, he should feel free to correct me, and I'll offer a mea culpa.
