    I’m so done with American tech.

    Disgusting bribes, that’s all this is.

    I heard the name will be the Epstein ballroom. At least that’s what people are saying.

      You can call it bribes, I call it paying tribute to the king.

      The guys know what is going on, they know that their companies futures are in the hands of a vindictive extreme narcissistic idiot of a king. They know that to be left alone they need to pay tribute to the king.

      Is it a bribe or a protection racket? Yes, it is.

        You make it sound like they don’t absolutely love this. Kissing his ass and personal donations are a whole lot cheaper than hiring lawyers to fight taxes or being held accountable for their shitfuckery.
