Perhaps I’m the one who misread. I took OP’s comment as saying working for a foreign company with no presence in the US while living in the US. On a second read, that might not be what they meant.

Because money keeps getting deposited in your bank account every two weeks and you’re not reporting any income.

Banks hand all of that information over.

There’s a reason TSMC does most of the world’s chip fabrication.

It’s complex and extremely expensive. Standing up a fab, in America no less, capable of handling Apple’s demand would be an astronomically expensive feat. Apple would never do this while TSMC is still an option. Even after the tariffs it would still probably be cheaper to use TSMC.

Men who respect women don’t vote for a rapist.

So, instead of selecting the better of two bad options (according to you), you chose the worse of two bad options. And that’s supposed to make some sort of point?

Do I shoot myself in the foot or the head? The head, that’ll show em!

X to doubt.

I don’t give a shit about that. OP misused a Picard quote. Completely unacceptable.

Quote taken completely out of context.

The context is that a partial descendant of an enemy species (Romulans) was the victim of a witch hunt. He was half human and a starfleet officer. He had lived in the federation his whole life.

A real world equivalent example to that would be banning Americans with Russian ancestry that were born in America and lived in America their whole lives from contributing.

That is not what’s happening here. You are arguing in bad faith. Picard would be perfectly fine with preventing Romulans in the Romulan Empire from accessing/modifying sensitive technology.

Ya, sure. Have fun with that legal battle versus amazon.

Getting fired with cause doesn’t come with severance and looks bad on a resume.

It’s a hamfisted rationalization. Not an explanation.

Would you care to explain how friendship can exist between two people, if one of the parties has absolutely zero interest in the other?

That’s not friendship.

That’s a lot of words to rationalize total disinterest in the lives of people OP claims are their friends.

Indeed. OP basically outing themselves as a self centered narcissist.

I’d call it a load of bullshit.

The greatest of compliments.
