Are Community Development Block Grants justifiable?

Why are federal tax dollars being sent back to local government to distribute to charitable organizations?

Are these #Cologix #datacentres going to pay for the excess demand on Québec's electrical grid, i.e. true #electricity market prices?

Or, is that going to be downloaded to Québec residents? You do not need to reply, I know the answer.

Having seen firsthand how poorly Stankey runs AT&T, I'll take his concerns with a grain of salt. This move to the burbs is just a big money-grab.

Enjoy Plano & that horizontal campus, asshole.

"We can't let them fail! They're too big!"

Then you didn't have capitalism.

You had socialism for corporations and "personal responsibility" for everyone else.

Privatised profits, socialised losses.

It's not a bailout. It's theft with a press release.

The (now seemingly) likely refund of tariffs (now deemed illegal) paid in the US by importers, may actually turn out to be yet more corporate welfare.

If importers raised their prices to cover tariff charges, but then receive a refund on those charges, but do not pass that refund onto customers (which to be frank may actually be impractical at the retail level), then either the importers or the retailers (if refunds are passed down) are getting a windfall!

“Low-Wage 20” Report Spotlights Corporate Giants Paying Poverty Wages – The USA Potato

Oh look, another banner year for Adani's Carmichael miracle! $1.27 BILLION in revenue shovelled out of Queensland's dirt in FY25. Australian corporate tax contributed? A generous $0.00. Because, naturally, all those 'profits' are magically transformed into 'debt repayments' to the mothership in India. Who needs taxable income when you've got creative accounting that would make a magician blush?
Meanwhile, Queensland's LNP government just gifted them another royalty deferral sweetheart deal — because why collect what the public is owed when you can defer it indefinitely and call it 'investment boost'? Hundreds of millions potentially shortchanged on royalties (experts reckon up to $625M over a few years if they weren't flogging coal at suspiciously low prices to related parties). But hey, Adani promises it'll all pay back... someday... with interest. Sure. Just like that $22 billion in taxes & royalties they swore would fund our schools and hospitals forever. How's that going, by the way?
Gautam Adani loves banging on about 'transparency' in India — voluntarily sharing tax reports, setting benchmarks, the works. Here in Oz? Crickets. Ghosted harder than a bad tinder date. While the minerals council runs ads screaming 'Mining pays for medicare!', Adani's busy proving the loophole is mightier than the tax code.
Aussies pay their taxes so billionaires can play hot potato with profits across borders. Classic. Who's ready for round two of subsidising coal barons while our services crumble?

Billions in profits, silence on tax: Adani’s Australian enigma

An advertising blitz claims mining taxes help pay for our essential services but it appears we taxpayers are paying millions of dollars to help coal miner Adani make profits.
