MS being concerned about the “open web” is laughable. If they’d had their way in the 90s the web would be called MS Web 3.0 by now, and we’d have to pay them $99 a year to use the MS internet explorer and companies would have to pay MS to be on it.

Fair share is bull. You keep taxes low, so these business can provide more jobs and positions. These jobs will bring in even more income taxes, and workers with more money likes to spend. Which means more money in the economy and more sales taxes. Why don’t dems get this.

“Fair share is bull”
Tech companies has an enormous profit rate compared to other industries. They also have the best capabilities to optimize their taxes down to zero.
“keep taxes low, so these business can provide more jobs”
Prev years businesses just demonstrated how they spend the tax cut on share buybacks instead of new jobs.

I’m sure just like the advertising revenue has fallen for local newspapers, the revenue of newsprint makers must have also fallen; is Microsoft responsible for that or for making devices that google runs on.
Business models have to evolve, people want to read news on their phone and using a search engine to do so is an elegant way of doing it.
In a free market, I’m sure if people see value in an organisations content they’ll buy a subscription, in which case google would’ve cut your distribution cost almost down to zero.
BTW, never has quality information been more freely available; yes indeed there is a lot of tripe on the web, but tbh it exists because there is a market for it not the other way round Fox News has been the number one channel for almost 20 years, why blame google

Is Microsoft into Disability – one for you and one for the disabled Program? In other words, will the disable get some of the benefits and cash or Gift Card towards a purchase because he / she / they go according to the Program where they will get some relief or betterment ?
