That’s literally what I’m saying.

Are you being semantic?

They realized the revenue as dividends, which is exactly what the link says.

The TCJA generally eliminated taxes on dividends, or repatriated earnings, to U.S. multinationals from their foreign affiliates. Dividends of $776.5 billion in 2018 exceeded earnings for the year, which led to negative reinvestment of earnings, decreasing the investment position for the first time since 1982. Tables 3 and 4 provide information on the country and industry breakdown of dividends.

By country, nearly half of the dividends in 2018 were repatriated from affiliates in Bermuda ($231.0 billion) and the Netherlands ($138.8 billion). Ireland was the third largest source of dividends, but its value is suppressed due to confidentiality requirements. By industry, U.S. multinationals in chemical manufacturing ($209.1 billion) and computers and electronic products manufacturing ($195.9 billion) repatriated the most in 2018.

He wasn’t successful at anything.

He slashed the corporate income tax and due to an effective amnesty on repatriation many large MNCs brought stashed offshore cash and cut R&D to register massive earnings for his last 2 years.

Ironically, this started to dry up right around Q1 2020… Then COVID drowned out everything.

His response was to just pump $4T to employers with almost no documentation, thank god we didn’t see a massive wave in inflation out of that.

Actually, it was the Palantir Gotham threat model… which has a backend to a private chatgpt model :(

Feckoin.

Hardware accel just seems completely broken, that and downloads to the app.

Yeah, my rack is a beast too, especially since it runs 24/7.

I have PGE though, so I get absolutely reamed constantly, they play a lot of games so my solar helps me as little as possible.

Oh, I had a whole-house meter connected to my smart meter by zigbee, but then PGE disabled that a few years ago.

Worst part of california :(

I know, but im at an age that micromanaging all my phone apps just isn’t fun anymore, I jailbroke my first iPhone 3g and that was a nightmare, I try to stick to stuff that won’t break much.

In any case, I have a working methadone for reddit, and as lemmy gets more popular I’m finding myself less and less dependent on it.

Thanks for the tip, I should have tried it earlier I think.

I have normal sized hands, I just love huge screens and can single handed text on most, I used the note series since forever except when I went LG.

But reddit canceled their api and trying to use Firefox for it sucked major ass, the vroser version of the site is barely usable at all but damn if I was going to use their Spyware app.

I had the 3, it is so insanely fucking narrow.

Like using an iPhone 4 or something.

The pixel fold I have now is great, usable in both form factors.

Hayes boys represent.

Do it, it teaches you things.

Most of your power isn’t going where you think.
