Why.....because I disagree with almost everything you believe or say on here?

Congratulations to Verizon on their 98% loss on Tumblr
they paid $1,100,000,000 in 2013
and sold it today for under $20,000,000

and to think we the American tax payers routinely fund Verizon

Verizon's effective federal income tax rate was negative 2.8% from 2008 to 2012...
This allowed Verizon to avoid $7.3 billion in taxes and purchase Tumblr

Side note:
Verizon has $1.9 billion in accumulated offshore profits on which it does not pay U.S. taxes.

Welcome to America
Here's the hysterical kicker - when you look at your Verizon bill and it shows you the taxes
Yeah well guess what... that's actually revenue it's not taxes
Verizon collects taxes, they don't pay taxes

Both of these morans are douchebags. But Cuomo was the bigger loser here. His lost shit far exceeded being called Fredo.

The UK now has an agency in place that judges whether advertisements can be offensive (to anyone) and is banning them as needed. Not sure the advertising industry will be able to thread the needle on this and show ads with people in them anymore.

https://www.bbc.com/news/business-49332640
A ban on ads featuring "harmful gender stereotypes" or those which are likely to cause "serious or widespread offence" came into force in June.

I'm neutral on it. I don't even watch commercials that aren't movie ads. I'm just expressing worry for the advertising agency.
