It's even funnier the n^th time!

The only small good you can potentially take from it is at least they want the land.

Otherwise it'd probably be Ypres 2.0

edit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zone_rouge

Areas where 99% of all plants still die remain off limits. For example, there are two small areas of land close to Ypres and the Woëvre where arsenic constitutes up to 176 grams per kilogram (18%) in the soil.

They just keep it parked in some kind of inflation proof financial construct until needed

Sometimes, othertimes they use it to just buy out european/australian/japanese/etc entities - since it's hard to repatriate, they can use that as a sort of justification where some shareholders (Hedge Funds that want dividends now) might object.

Often not, no - it's a big problem that these huge multinationals have is repatriating their foreign cash.

Apple used to have somewhere around 5x more cash in Ireland than they did in USA, because taxes.

In USA it's illegal to Boycott Israel...

Outside of Software, I can't think of anything I buy that's American.

I can think of American made versions of a bunch of the things I buy and the American made versions as always worse. Even American companies like 3M mostly manufacture in Europe since they can get good quality there unlike USA.

Phil should have been CEO.

Tim was a mistake.

Trump is the cause of it, just last term.

Very long story short- Trump crashing oil prices in 2016/2017 more or less 'killed' GlobalFoundries and which left TSMC as the only leading edge pureplay foundry. (Intel isn't pureplay, Samsung is no longer chasing leading edge)

Trump caused the chip shortage.

It's almost like it's a running theme...

OG Xbox - nVidia GPU - never gets a price cut and is discontinued almost immediately after 360 releases (with an AMD GPU from which MS never looked back at nVidia)

PS3 - nVidia GPU - Only got small price cuts very late, discontinued almost immediately after PS4 release (with an AMD GPU from which Sony never looked back at nVidia)

Switch - nVidia SoC - never got a real price cut either (though Switch2 is also an nVidia SoC)

Not Arch, it's 100% bog standard on Arch.

Which is great and what most people want, but the parent poster wants something pre-configured to be minimalist.

I lost all interest in this when you had to go out of your way to try and get invited.

Gross marketing.

I'm not expecting GTAVI on PC until 2030.

Also is on the right, he's part of the Right faction within labor and was one of the 'faceless men' that removed our best PM in living memory, Kevin Rudd.

Mot really, Labor did nothing over the last 3 years and get rewarded for that as well as Greens losing a few seats.

Best case scenario was minority Labor gov shared with the Greens.
