"The deployment could double the number of U.S. military personnel who have been sent to the region since the start of a troop buildup in May."

The TCJA levered up our country by TWO TRILLION DOLLARS, mostly for the benefit of corporations and the rich, and these clowns have the GALL to say we should be happy for the crumbs falling off massa's table. And people wonder why Bernie is winning. wsj.com/articles/tax-r…
Thanks to the 2017 Tax Cuts and (LOL) Jobs Act, the US Treasury has written checks of more than $100 million to Amazon out of YOUR tax dollars in each of the past 2 yrs.

What does it mean to transform capital markets into a political utility, using the tax code to do it?

This.
Amazon made $11 BILLION in profits in 2018, and cashed a check for $129 million from the US Treasury.

Weird how there's an AMT for you and me, but not for Amazon.

It’s the latest incarnation of the agency problem - massive stock issuance to management, masked by the narrative of “Yay, stock buybacks!”.

@EpsilonTheory goes mainstream, with a piece in the FT!

Here's the insider stock-trading history of Andrew Wilson, Electronic Arts CEO. Each red flag is a sale of exercised options and vested RSUs. Even the green flags (net addition to stock holdings) all include a sale of free stock.

I think I found a winner for my next note.
Over the past 3 FYs, Electronic Arts bought back 22.8 million shares for $2.3 billion. Yay, return of capital!

Also over the past 3 FYs, Electronic Arts issued 10.7 million new shares to themselves for $211 million. About 1.5 million shares went to ESOP, rest to management.

The Mullahs' Fatal Miscalculation - Frontpagemag frontpagemag.com/fpm/2020/01/mu…
Soleimani and al-Muhandis were legitimate military targets. President Trump had both the constitutional authority and duty as commander in chief to order their killings.
They were looking to launch unprovoked offensive attacks against U.S. military personnel and diplomats stationed in Iraq and elsewhere, while the United States was determined to respond forcefully in defense of its citizens.

DEFENCE HQ NIGERIA
@DefenceInfoNG
In a few days’ time the nation will be conducting the Presidential election and elections into other key political offices in the country. It is on this note that the Armed Forces of Nigeria wishes to re-affirm its neutrality, impartiality and strict adherence to professional
code of conduct before, during and after the general election. Therefore, we would like to reiterate that the Armed Forces of Nigeria will carry out its constitutional duties with zero tolerance to unprofessional conduct. No #Military personnel are expected to fraternize with
any political parties and associations.While it is pertinent to state that military personnel have the right to perform their civic duty to vote as enshrined in the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria,

hearing—"#China's Worldwide #Military Expansion" is a dramatic bellwether of growing concerns in Washington & beyond.

Now online—hard-hitting arguments + many data points, some deeply-analyzed yet hard to find elsewhere in public domain:

CAPT Jim Fanell, USN Ret, former @USPacificFleet N2:

"today, the PLA Navy consists of over 330 surface ships & 66 submarines, nearly 400 combatants. As of 4 May 2018, the @USNavy consists of 283 battle force ships: 211 surface ships and 72 submarines."
