    It's not up to Zuckerberg. Expensing food is tax deductible. Allowing people to buy whatever they want is taxable income. The only companies that would allow their employees to buy…

    Least amount of hassle is probably a passkey in your password manager, if it supports it. Passkeys are the quickest way to sign in. Don't use a passkey on your computer, otherwise …

    I'm sure he was an amazing capitalist, but my experience with Tata consulting was the worst. I worked for a division of GE during the Immelt years that outsourced large portions of…

    Before the ruling Apple was paying about 8B in taxes per year to Ireland. If multinational corporations are no longer able to do a Double-Irish Dutch Sandwich anymore, it doesn't m…

    I've noticed that this stretches farther than America. For example big name retailers in the Caribbean like Massy seem to be mostly or partially owned by Save-a-lot .. but I haven'…

    It's always been like that. The costs involved with maintaining garbage are infinitely more than maintaining something well built. This is why software is so lucrative.. because th…

    Up until the recent AI boom Tesla was the #1 AI company in the world, now they are falling behind other tech leaders. Elon is now stealing Tesla's AI lead and squandering it on his…
