Huckledebuck , in Coca-Cola to pay $6 billion in IRS back taxes case while appealing judge's decision

This is the first I’ve heard about this. Anyone able to speculate on how hopeful Coke should be for a successful appeal?

CaptainSpaceman ,

Im no expert, but I do know that the US seems to be going after taxes from the wealthy rn. A determined IRS probably has the standing to keep the money, at least most of it.

Given the antitrust suits also coming up the last year or so, id say more is coming, too.

stoy , in Arizona governor negotiates pause in hauling of uranium ore across Navajo Nation

You know what absolutely will have an affect of the reservation?

Global warming.

That is a far, far, far bigger threat than some trace elements of uranium.

Go watch the BBC documentary called Nuclear Nightmares about our fear of radiation.

Here it is:

This isn’t that kind of situation. Uranium has been mined here for decades. Even with that though, the issues the Navajo Nation has faced aren’t really radiation related, they’re mining related, as usual with nearly all types of mining since regulations to prioritize minimal negative environmental impact are basically non-existent. This mining just happens to be a radioactive element as opposed to something more benign like copper.

From the article you clearly didn’t read:

The Navajo Nation said it wanted to ensure it had time to coordinate emergency preparedness plans and other notifications before hauling began. Energy Fuels said it notified federal, state county and tribal officials about two weeks ago that hauling was imminent and outlined legal requirements, safety and emergency response.

The tribe said it didn’t expect hauling to begin for at least another month, based on months of conversations with Energy Fuels.

It seems like Energy Fuels either straight up lied about the timing for whatever reason, or they moved up their timetable without telling anyone because they aren’t strictly required to by law. Which definitely seems shady. Why wouldn’t you notify everyone involved that the timetable has been accelerated?

tal , in Former Sea Shepherd captain Paul Watson arrested on a Japanese warrant from 2012 – what next?
@tal@lemmy.today avatar

Japan may also argue the boarding of the Shonan Maru No 2 was an act of piracy. Under the convention, Japan would need to show the boarding was a case of:

illegal acts of violence or detention, or any act of depredation, committed for private ends by the crew or the passengers of a private ship or a private aircraft, and directed […] on the high seas, against another ship or aircraft, or against persons or property on board such ship.

The sticking point for Japan may be whether or not the boarding can be considered to be for “private ends”.

I don’t see how that’s going to be an issue for Japan. I mean, that text isn’t going to be talking about personal versus organizational or broader ideological ends, if that’s what the author is thinking here. It’s going to be talking about whether he’s acting on behalf of a government or not. It’s to separate things like state actors from non-state actors. I am confident that no government is going to assert that he was acting on their direction in doing that: he wasn’t acting as part of a country’s navy.

Spacehooks , in Scientists Confirm Bird Flu Is Now Spreading Between Mammals

Stock on toilet paper!

BigMacHole , in Louisiana mayor arrested on child rape accusations after abrupt resignation

ANOTHER damn DRAG QUEEN RAPING Minors! We need MORE REPUBLICAN LEADERSHIP like Misty Roberts to WEED OUT these Child Raping DRAG QUEENS!

CompostMaterial , in Mystery surrounds US woman found starving and chained to tree in India

In a written statement to the police, she has alleged that her husband “chained her and left her in the forest to die without food or water”.

Hey, look at that, “mystery” solved within four paragraphs.

Duamerthrax ,

Is that where you stopped reading? The mystery is her husband’s whereabouts.

LesserAbe ,

Yeah, and that her version of events doesn’t seem possible (no food and water for 40 days)

BigMacHole , in Coca-Cola to pay $6 billion in IRS back taxes case while appealing judge's decision

I’m a Fiscally Responsible Republican and this is HORRIBLE and SAD for Coca Cola! They should be able to KEEP that 6BILLION dollars! We should instead Tax HOMELESS PEOPLE and SINGLE MOTHERS instead!

UNRELATED to this but THANK YOU REPUBLICANS for BLOCKING Child Tax Credits and Free School Lunches for Starving Children. We just DON’T have it in the Budget!

someguy3 , in Mystery surrounds US woman found starving and chained to tree in India

The mystery is that you would die from lack of water (or exposure, depending) long before you would get that emaciated, or the 40 days she was apparently there.

@apfelwoiSchoppen@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah the article notes as much,

Police say they have been unable to verify these claims and believe it is unlikely that someone would survive without food or water for so long.

elrik , in Trump Agrees to a Fox News Debate with Harris on Sept. 4

This was the obvious move - attempt to change the venue to Fox, Newsmax or worse. I’m surprised Tucker isn’t a proposed moderator.

Harris should counter with a live fact check requirement regardless of venue, which Trump and Fox could never accept.

Sounds like maybe we should nationalize the Coca-Cola company.

I’m just kiddding! This is America! We don’t do sensible things with corporations.

CaptainSpaceman ,

Not like they put out quality products. Shut em down and buy some small cola shops out instead

@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

You would have riots on your hand if people couldn’t get their Coca-Cola.

I am not joking.

When Coke changed its formula in the 80s, people were getting so pissed that it was actually kind of getting dangerous. Like executives were getting death threats and newspapers were saying they did it because they were secretly controlled by the USSR.

Kusimulkku , in Fox News host Jesse Watters thinks men who vote for women ‘transition’ to women

The pundit was making fun of a record-breaking “White Dudes for Harris” fundraising call on Tuesday’s episode of The Five when he questioned why “any man would vote Democrat,” claiming that it would have to be because of “mommy issues.”

“It’s not the party of virtue, security — it’s not the party of strength — it’s definitely not the party of family. And to be a man and then vote for a woman just because she’s a woman is either childish — that person has mommy issues — or they are just trying to be accepted by other women,” Watters said. “I heard the scientists say the other day that when a man votes for a woman, he actually transitions into a woman.”

I was thinking that that last line could be a joke, but I would need to hear the delivery. You never know

FlyingSquid , in Laura Ingraham Dings Kamala Harris for Her Bad Habit of… Hugging People?

Current Republican attacks on Harris: She laughs, she hugs people, she’s black.

I’m starting to think they’re fucked and they know it.

FundMECFSResearch OP ,

Wonder if it would be worth removing the “bias” tab altogether from the bot. Because it is clearly badly calculated, BBC as left wing etc.

JASN_DE ,

The main issue is that the ranking is “calculated” in relation to the US left/right, which is shifted so far to the right compared to other countries.
