I guess Fidelity doesn't want to help fund hate groups. https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/federal-grand-jury-charges-so...

>I guess Fidelity doesn't want to help fund hate groups

Your "guess" is not the stated reason. FTA:

>“Consistent with our grant-making standards and practices, the organization is not an eligible grant recipient during the ongoing investigation.”

In fact, WRT Fidelity's actual disposition on funding hate groups, the SPLC reported in 2023 that their donor advised fund had been consistently used to that effect, including anti-LGBTQ, anti-government, anti-Muslim, and hard right groups.[0]

They were paying confidential informants for tips they would use in investigations and pass to law enforcement. Not QUITE the same as being a hate group.

I'll point out that undercover cops are paid the same way as any other officer.

We're not talking about undercover cops, we're talking about confidential informants, people who by definition are not police.

The comment I was replying to was specifically about undercover cops.

That said - in the US, confidential informants are also paid directly by the agency or police department. While they sometimes (often?) paid in cash, the purpose and disbursement of those funds is closely tracked internally and auditable.

They're _not_ using shell companies to hide the fact that they're paying people for information. SPLC is. Why?

If paying in cash is sufficient for law enforcement, why would it be a problem for the SPLC? It seem clear to me that the intent is to hide the fact that they're doing it at all, not to protect the identities of their informants.

>Do you think you can even get that just taxing these companies?

If we go back to a 60% corporate tax rate, for sure.

They’ll just find a way to have $0 of profit. You have nothing to tax.

You could put a 100% tax on revenues (not profit) of AI companies and it would come out to a low couple hundred dollars per person per year right now.

A 60% corporate tax rate wouldn’t get to the levels needed for UBI proposals either.

>Says who?

The EU, just now.

So the EU is the objective truth of the universe, I guess

Yeah no that's definitely copyright infringement.

You were using SVG versions of the logos you were printing right? Just when you say designing it makes me think you were recreating the logos in CAD.

I was so sad when I retired my 1060 6GB. That thing served me well for almost a decade.

One of the largest populations, and by extension, GDPs.

Also the only major economy which didn't fight World War 2 on its own territory.

Boy are there some angry Pearl Harbour comments incoming...

Bretton Woods, Petro dollar and Lindy effect?

>What does having a family have to do with anything?

Presumably that at least one of their family members would be pity watching.
