    Don’t forget to read down to the part where they are planning to continually tie this up on court until a Republican lets them off. Same thing they did with the anti-trust lawsuit. Same shit different day until something changes. I’ll believe they pay this when I see it happen.

        Unfortunately, it turns out that, in retrospect, the billions did not quite have the desired effect and the health system is just as fucked as it was before, but - unrelated: have you seen my new yachts? They’re even bigger than those of my cronies!

    Just imagine, this ONE company out of the hundreds if not thousands pulling this same shit are brought into compliance (and by compliance, I mean what they ethically should be paying in taxes), then how much good we COULD be doing as a nation. I say that but also have no doubts that the elected officials will just use it as their personal piggy bank to fund their friends companies.
