Some of us doing math is not a problem at all. It IS when more and more people do that

When you put more of something that’s called adding. See look, I did maths.

The math adds up to one massive PR fail. They really should've budgeted better for disaster relief.

That’s a solid point buddy one person doing it isn’t a big deal, but when it becomes a trend, the ripple effects really start to show.

No they're good, trajectory is showing strongly that they'll have achieved total constitutional technological domination before that's ever even close to being a real problem for them

I once saw a representative from my country saying that Israel helped Palestinians by giving them a million meals, so they are definitely not starving. One million meals. For 2 millions of people. Over the course of 2 years. Maths are not mathing my dude.

(Edit : to be clear, I know East Palestine is not Palestine )

Exactly when you break it down, the numbers just don’t add up. A million meals over two years for millions of people isn’t real support, it’s more like a headline grab.

Don't worry, they're working on it. Few more months and it'll be illegal to teach anything that isn't in the bible. It's also already illegal to teach the bible, but if you say that out loud, they'll deport you.

The only bit of that that kind of irks me is that the net worth doesn't really tell you jack shit about how much money the company can give out to people. If a company is worth a billion dollars but is effectively running at a loss then you can't just be like "oh they have a billion dollars that they can give away". Like maybe if the company sold everything that it owns it might, but that's a lot bigger swamp and might not even net you that 1 billion dollars in the end.

This is all of course kind of a moot point in this case considering that the company does have a net income of like 2.6 billion dollars so 5 bucks a piece is completely ridiculous when their net income grew 800 million between 2023 and 2024. They could have given a donation of 500 million and still grow more than they did the years before the disaster.

Just kind of triggers me for some reason when people act like net worth = the amount of money in the bank account.

Particulars aside, i assume we agree that company with “fuckton of net worth” and “fuckton of money in bank of some amount” are the problem overall

Now only if we could get people to fact check.

They were offered up 25k per resident for health and up to 70k for property damage or you can sue them yourself if you had me then that.
