Oh no, did the shitty mega corporation suffer consequences for its role in contributing to destabilizing a government to save 2% on its taxes? Pobrecito!

Is that government the US or another one? Did they make substantial contributions to Trump or Vance?

[โ€“] Seleni@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Not only did they contribute, they had Trump do an ad for them while he was on the campaign trail.

US, yeah, and I'm certain they contributed in some way. Most mega corps contribute to republicans in some way or another, either directly to campaigns or they contribute to policy groups or advocacy/lobbying groups that contribute to republicans or help create policy for them. Basically, everything else can burn as long as we save 1% on our taxes-- wait, why did the lights go out?
