  I’m so done with American tech.

  Disgusting bribes, that’s all this is.

  I heard the name will be the Epstein ballroom.

    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.

      I guess, but what other protection are they paying behind the scenes?

    Well now I’m saying that too. The Jeffrey W. Epstein ballroom.
