But the problem is the rich have managed their own taxation for 50 years. They've decided through exercising power on the government that they will pay less and less. As they do so, working class conditions worsen. This has been accelerated through multiple bills and decisions implemented by the rich. The most destructive one recently was the citizens United decision.

Tell me, if it's so easy to just take all your money to Monaco, why would the wealthiest in our country spend so much money and effort to war against the working class for the past 50 years?

Why not just go to Monaco instead of cutting the taxes on rich and corporations again (to still be higher than Monaco)

I'll add - dumped Amazon a bit ago and wish I'd done it sooner. Finding lots of other online stores and getting more quality products. Haven't shopped at Walmart in decades. Trying to walk the walk more and it's improving my qol.

Thanks! Super cool. I've never had marmite, but I'm gonna snag some and try this.

I always liked the analogy of chickens voting for Colonel Sanders, but you were getting there.

Can you give me some examples of dishes you'd add it to? I'm intrigued. Like a pho, ramen or soup?

Sauce? I thought not.

I get a lot of folks are busy, working two jobs, dealing with childcare and healthcare and whatnot, but how deep do you have to bury your head in the sand to be so unaware or disconnected from an American Presidential election? It's unfathomable to me.

I'm sorry this happened to you. It seems to keep getting worse.

I think you are making good points here. I don't think most corporate execs have that kind of detail, I agree that it's likely more public-facing or in industries like healthcare, insurance, banking, real estate, law - any industry that can directly ruin people's lives. To that point, if this company never had security details for their CEO, I am also surprised this hasn't happened sooner.

Thank you for sharing. The boards for the companies I've worked for mandated security detail for C levels. I'm gonna go ahead and posit that this board will now mandate as well.

I would reckon that it's because these people are incredibly well-protected. Once you reach an executive office at the large companies I've worked for, you have to live in a giant compound because of the size of the detail of elite security forces that must accompany you at all times. I'm talking 40+ people paid by the company, ex-special forces. These details do entire building security sweeps ahead of the CEO, checking for bombs, bugs and other threats. The board mandates that you have this protection.
