Meta just paid its lowest ever effective tax rate, avoiding $13.7B in 2025 federal income taxes thanks to tax breaks and loopholes. But starting this week, Meta will begin laying off 10% of its workforce. More than 8,000 people will lose jobs as it ramps up AI investment. Trickle down hoax.

The problem is that they're 'rolling the dice on' the very people who've caused the problems they're complaining about. "Mr Brexit" Farage the Billionaire's Friend & his motley crew of ex-Tories. They are (quite literally) the people who have been degrading our standard of living since 2010.

"His ego cannot accept a humiliating loss as we saw after the 2020 election.

Morning. Tempted to say something rude about those areas that have dominated English politics for over ten years still being unhappy despite their agenda largely being followed. A vicious democratic cycle that we see also in other countries.

“Phasing out glyphosate as a pre-harvest desiccant would alleviate concerns over public health and nature, while facilitating closer trade with our European neighbours,” said the Soil Association, Nature Friendly Farming Network, Greenpeace, Wildlife Trusts and others in an open letter to Defra. 👍

Wise words on Newsnight: America will still be incredibly weakened, untrusted by its allies; permanently. Untrusted by its rivals and enemies who have seen its vulnerabilities.

I'd rather have free higher education than a fake war used to distract from the fact that Traitor Trump raped little girls. And bombed the fuck out of their schools in Iran. He's a pedophile and a war criminal. He must be removed from power immediately.
