Your solution to corporations using tax havens is to eliminate all corporate taxes?
How does that help?
They only pay 6% now, you are saying, so let's have them pay 0%?

I find it difficult to watch any sports these days because you are just constantly bombarded with sports betting ads and tie-ins. I have absolutely no interest in throwing my money away on sports bets and yet even I find myself wondering if I should try it out or maybe I could just open a trial account.

Microsoft owns OpenAI so I doubt that they will be asked to rename this.

Given all the stories about how Meta is struggling with its Metaverse offering, I don't understand why Microsoft would want to get tangled up in the failure?

"Could not load video." Yikes! Good luck, Magic Leap. This does not bode well.

I agree with you. But all churches start as cults. Romans viewed Christians the same way most Americans view Scientologists. Actually, Romans killed Christians, so probably they viewed them a tad bit worse.

Yes, but does the domain even have anything on it?
