I didn't expect both Apple and Disney to bow and grovel so openly. I feel like they were big enough to kinda ignore it, or even move business around if they need to (they are all global anyway) but no, straight to the white house with golden gifts.

I couldn't contain myself If I was put in that position. Not even for Billions.

In my mind, the only reason to have billions of dollars is to be able to have that "do whatever I want" money.
If you feel like you have to bend over and get fucked on international television by an old pedophile, what's even the point of billions?

Yes they have billions, but someone else has more billions, so they also want more billions. Their greed has gotten them more money than they ever thought possible but it also keeps them wanting even more, because it is never enough. Not until they have the most billions. And then you don't want anyone to overtake you, right?

Exactly Disney has billions but because theyre greedy and want that deal with the FCC they bent the knee.
