Microsoft: $101 BILLION in profits. $12.5 BILLION in tax breaks. $176 BILLION in stock buybacks. 4,800 workers fired this week. 9,000 workers fired last year. Please don't tell me trickle-down economics works. It never did. Nothing trickles down.

I’m old enough to remember when lying about adultery was worthy of impeachment. Feels quaint at this point.
This boarded up window at the back of a former jewellers and pawn shop on Park Street (converted from a house in 1865) was built to allow Clifton ladies who were financially struggling a place to discretely pawn their jewellery without risk of being spotted by passersby.
What a great looking opportunity

If women wore smart glasses, they'd be banned. (soigomaa/x) Think about it. If millions of women wore smart glasses, recording men's behaviour, conversations, comments, their driving & bar chats ... can you imagine the panic? Trust me, smart glasses would be regulated before you can say 'Meta'.
Please I beg you, go through this thread!

RefUK, RW media, & Eurofash are plainly trying to whip up a panic about this. Any serious report must begin by explaining that Ceuta is in Africa - not mainland Spain - and 48k+ of the 50k crossers were already returned. It is frightening how many still don't know this. Please share on all socials.

Telling the boy about the impact of Keegan when he returned as manager in ‘92, saved us from relegation into the third tier then got us promoted into the Premier League in the space of 15 months in front of these tributes was quite a thing. I’m surprised I didn’t cry. #NUFC
