        You're not wrong—and yet, nobody decides to do anything. Still.

            And Trump is just going to screw him over anyway, bribe or no bribe.

              A gold bar gifted to an institution would still count as corruption in most sane jurisdictions. Sure those loopholes exist, but we tend to disguise them as investments or charity.

              But it's not a gold bar but a "gold base" which would be technically legal almost everywhere. It shouldn't be but thats how loopholes are.

                If that base is solid 24 karat gold, it would be almost the size of a 400 ounce bar; worth almost $1.4 Million. Seems rather unlikely to me, but I rule nothing out of the realm of possibilities anymore. More information is needed, I think.

                    Definitely, as after this it was announced that Apple would not be affected by the 100% semiconductor tariffs.

                      bet steve wouldn't even answer the phone call. he was a bit egotistical, lol, and i doubt he'd have patience for trump's bullshit regardless of the consequences.

                          It is. Except that the law doesn't protect people. People protect the law. If a law is there on paper, but no one will enforce it, then it isn't a law. It's just some words on paper.

                              I'm going from Android to Apple soon, because I'm finally totally over all the present day Android BS. Good luck, have fun.

                              Word to the wise: don't buy anything less than a flagship. Older flagship if you're wanting to save some money. Samsung is best. I've played around with all kinds of mid-tier Androids & it's a frustrating experience. The phones just don't work well for long. Motorola sucks ass, don't even bother.

                              What do you mean by "don't work well for long"?

                              I've been using my Sony Xperia phones for many years, without significant issues.

                                          It’s like nuclear weapons

                                          Unless everyone gets rid of them nobody will

                                          Being the only one not to “bend the knee” will just hurt you if everyone else kisses his ass

                                          Nobody should get rid of their nukes. In fact, more countries should have nuclear arms.

                                          Such is life on planet earth.
