I went and checked, a big house in Porto, in the Marquês area (very much one of those purple streets in Monopoly) goes for over a million euros, and she casually mentions she bought two!

Five years ago the golden visas was still in effect, so the A2 language thing is just for show, she bought a luxury home so she has permanent residency.

Of course the healthcare is great compared to the US, she doesn't work so doesn't pay taxes to fund it. It's probably genuinely top of the line, there are several central hospitals in almost walking distance.

So this is like a profile of someone who bought a house in Brooklyn that likes to walk in Central Park and go to Bellevue for free.

At least she lives in the house, it's better than leeching off some working family with usury rents.

A 4k a month salary puts you in the top 10% of earners, make sure your guillotine insurance is in order.

If it's automated, why bill nearly 2 grand? For running a script?

Because this is 20% of the process, the service is still a legal team doing your all your immigrations. Checking the best strategy, how to apply, review your documents manually, book calls with you and, if necessary, appeal if the consulate asks questions or initially rejects your case. The price is for the full visa assistance.

So, it's not automated and the title is a lie? Just submarine marketing for "digital nomads" to come buy overpriced shit and crowd out the locals.

Your life would improve by reading short texts, then move on to children’s books, as most people did in childhood, to begin developing reading comprehension

Is it growing?

Don't they report annualized revenue AKA the best month times 12? How is that comparable?

Some of those missiles go up to 12M$, they launch several of them at once, and the estimate on the drone price might be 7k$.

In can the math was not lopsided enough.

They might be counting sightings over Israel, Iran, and GCC countries.

I have seen many social media videos of fireballs in the sky in the last few months.

Taking a gun to protect from rattlesnakes? Why not a big stick?

> no overt politics

Excuse me? Giving a literal gold trophy to the God-Emperor Trump is not politics?

That's like saying going to Washington DC at all is "politics."

It'd be bad business stewardship if he didn't; bad for shareholders, ultimately.

It looks silly optically, but it's plain to see that Apple has trump nailed psychologically. And it worked! They knew what was needed to get an administration to support the company in meaningful ways.

May we do better on the next election.

No, it's just a business tax. Do you see Cook getting on twitter and parroting the god emperor's topic of the day?

I saw Cook going to the private screening of the Melania biopic on the same day Alex Pretti was killed.

It's not a tax, Tim Apple gave him the gold personally, with cameras in tow, he did not submit the ACH data to the IRS.

It's bending the knee.

Why degrade himself, what can Trump do that their trillions cannot cushion?

Same difference. "I spent millions/billions that could have been avoided because I did not want to appear to degrade myself" doesn't sell very well to stakeholders. The CEO should do what is in the best interests of the company, and in the US when Mr Trump is president, it is in the best interests of the company to bend the knee.

So you think he is a Trump supporter, then? I would have guessed precisely the opposite. My assumption is that the trophy was his way of looking out for the best interests of Apple. In that regard probably a fairly good ROI.

> So you think he is a Trump supporter, then?

He literally gave him a gold trophy! How is that not support? It's beyond compliance in advance.

To a president hell-bent on overturning Obergefell v Hodges, even.

He gave him more gold than Maria Corina Machado.

A bribe

"Someone" was the original mysql creator. It was a brilliant way to get Oracle cash then havr his own company. Getting a cake, and eat it too.

Bannon was already jailed for failing to adhere to a congressional subpoena.

What he probably means is being killed in prison, "suicided" when the cameras are mysteriously off, but this doesn't make sense, he's in the side of the oligarchs.
