NTSB Investigator: according to this manifest, these tankers were carrying *adjusts glasses* ‘500 long tons of certified premium dank’

Railroads have been telling the government they can self regulate... this proves they can not. Wall Street earnings are being put above safety and that has to stop. Time for real fines and real penalties for CEO’s and the board of directors. Maybe even a Tax per share to be paid for investing in a company that threw…

Even the guys who came up with trickle-down economics have admitted that it doesn’t work.

Must be pretty hard to land a plane on a Nimitz-class with all those giant sails in the way, huh?

Oh, Jesus Christ... Please get on the empty yacht when I tell you to, ok?

SAILING VESSEL.

“No way around”  I will dispute that statement. There is endless legal fuckery that can, and does, prevent the very wealthy from parting with any of their precious blood.  Unless  there is verifiable proof of transaction, I stand by the previous statement.

wow, congrats for buying the story the rich tell you hook, line, and sinker. you’re a great example of why nearly half the united votes against their own self interests

If he wasn’t hoarding all that wealth, instead of one $500 million dollar boat, maybe a million people could have $500 more in their pocket to buy a little boat of their own and take a camping vacation or something.  

It would probably be far more beneficial to the Dutch economy if he took that $500 million and used it to pay his Dutch workers more.  

Except with tax havens, tax loopholes and credits, it’s most likely half if not entirely money that was syphoned OUT of multiple economies, not being put IN to economies.
