Delta to lose $50 million tax break over break with NRA?

The Georgia Senate’s leaders vowed to block a lucrative tax break bill on Monday that would benefit Delta Air Lines after the Atlanta-based company severed ties with the National Rifle Association 
Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle said he would not support tax legislation that helped the airline “unless the company changes its position and fully reinstates its relationship with the NRA.” He echoed a growing number of conservatives who opposed the measure over the weekend.  
That move forced Gov. Nathan Deal and other supporters of the $50 million jet fuel sales tax exemption to shift to the defensive, and prompted a growing number of Republicans to try to strip the provision out of a broader tax-cut bill that has already passed the state House.
Perhaps not everything is as simple as following the crowd. Delta no doubt felt they were doing the practical thing as a company by severing ties with the NRA. But they may end up with several million regrets. The tax bill in question would provide Delta with between $40 and $50 million a year in tax savings.

Right now it looks like the bill is stalled in the Senate, and probably won't pass unless the jet fuel tax break is stripped out (or unless Delta changes their mind on providing discounts for NRA members). The Airline recently signed a twenty year agreement to keep their headquarters in Atlanta.

Haven't you CH pontificated more than once that govmt should stay out of business???? Me thinks that the GA action will help drive a major player out of Atlanta and workers and fliers will absorb the costs....Oh well.....I like the way their faces turn red from holding their breath.....Another big yawn from the legislature that should do their job rather than meddle.....sad day indeed...

Delta has a recently agreed upon contract (20 years) to stay in Atlanta. They cannot just "move" without major financial and legal issues. They are stuck.

Their choice to be "politically correct" probably lost them close to a billion dollars in tax savings over that twenty year period.

brilliant observation. i mean, it's not like you need your flight crews where the majority of the fucking planes are or anything.






Commonsense said...

Glad you agree Dennis. Delta is not going to make any decision based on whether they got a tax break or not.

And in this case moving flight crews and operations would not improve their bottom line.

In fact moving them would be an extra unjustified expense.

The tax break was an incentive to delta to do something.....We don't know what that something was, so my guess, there will be a cost to the state...

Let's be clear...

This bill was never passed. It was proposed, passed in the House, but not the Senate. So technically the state of Georgia would not be raising taxes...

They would simply be pulling back on a benefit they "wanted" to provide for Delta, before Delta decided to play politics with what is a very important issue with Georgians.

I would very much assume that other than the Delta employees themselves, that most Georgians are going to be okay with "not" providing a giant tax break for a company that puts liberal politics ahead of the interests of their home state.

Obama calls out Facebook and Google, questions survival of democracy in current political climate
Feb 27th 2018 8:41AM

Former President Barack Obama lamented the current state of political discourse in the US, saying social-media platforms like Facebook and Google are "shaping our culture in powerful ways."

Obama made the off-the-record comments at an MIT conference on Friday.

The former president is the highest-profile figure to publicly challenge tech giants to take more responsibility for the effects they have on the social fabric.
____________

Former President Barack Obama made some revealing comments about the current state of political discourse in the US last week, suggesting that tech giants like Facebook and Google are compounding the problem.

His remarks were captured in an off-the-record speech at a sports conference at MIT. Audio from the presentation was first reported by Reason, a libertarian-leaning publication.
Obama spoke on a number of topics at the conference, at one point riffing on how news coverage diverges sharply among competing media outlets — often to the point that the lines between fact and opinion are blurred, and the types of coverage are seemingly governed by ideology rather than the public good.

And he said it's not just about Russian bots and fake news.
"This is Fox News versus The New York Times' editorial page," Obama said. "If you look at these different sources of information, they do not describe the same thing. In some cases, they do not even talk about the same thing."

Indeed, different news outlets have, at times, taken vastly different approaches to big political stories, perhaps most notably on developments in the Russia investigations.

While commentators on left-leaning media outlets have spent considerable time dissecting the federal probe of Russia's meddling in the 2016 US election, Fox News' opinion programming and other right-leaning publications have leaned toward casting doubt on the investigators themselves.

Obama said social-media platforms like Facebook and Google are exacerbating the problem. Speaking to the power that the tech giants wield over the distribution of online content, Obama said those outlets could do better to acknowledge that they are indeed "shaping our culture in powerful ways."

He called the platforms a "hugely powerful potential force for good," but added that "what's also true is that our social media platforms are just a tool.

"ISIS can use that tool. Neo-Nazis can use that tool," he said.

Speaking of the tech giants, Obama said they "have to have a conversation about their business model that recognizes they are a public good as well as a commercial enterprise."

Here Come the Post-Millennials

Ron Brownstein: “Americans are just growing accustomed to the impact of the massive millennial generation as consumers, workers and voters. But now the crusade for gun control led by survivors of the Parkland, Florida, school shooting is heralding the arrival of the younger generation rising behind them. And in their racial diversity, attitudes toward religion and culture, their digital fluency and their political priorities, this emerging generation — usually called the post-millennials, sometimes labeled Generation Z — might shake American life even more profoundly than the millennials.

“For Republicans who have nervously watched polls showing an enormous backlash against President Donald Trump’s insular nationalism among the millennials, this younger generation could represent an even greater threat.”

Man armed with AR-15 stops attack by neighbor in Oswego

OSWEGO, Ill. -- A man armed with an AR-15 rifle stopped an attack by one of his neighbors and held him until police arrived.

It happened Monday at an apartment building on Harbor Drive in Oswego Township.

Police say it all began when someone with a knife attacked another person during an argument.

Neighbor Dave Thomas, who witnessed the attack, went into his home, got his rifle and ordered the suspect to stop.

"I poked my head out the door. There was a pool of blood, blood was everywhere in the hall. There was still a confrontation going on, there were about three or four people involved at this point," Thomas said. "So I ran back into my house and grabbed my AR-15. I grabbed the AR-15 over my handgun -- bigger gun, I think a little more of an intimidation factor. Definitely played a part in him actually stopping."

The suspect was able to get away briefly, before he was captured by police.

The stabbing victim was taken to the hospital. No word yet on that person's condition.

Police say Thomas has a valid firearm owner's identification card and a concealed carry permit.

"The AR-15 is my weapon of choice for home protection," Thomas said. "It's light, it's maneuverable. If you train and know how to use it properly, it's not dangerous. And this is just a perfect example of good guy with an AR-15 stopped a bad guy with a knife. And there were no lives taken, so all in all it was a good day.

Tax breaks are wonderful for corporations to boost stock prices and buy backs....while the lazy investors like the heifer fucker sits on his fat white honky ass.....

Almost 100 American corporations have trumpeted such plans in the past month. American companies have announced more than $178 billion in planned buybacks — the largest amount unveiled in a single quarter, according to Birinyi Associates, a market research firm.

Such purchases reduce a company’s total number of outstanding shares, giving each remaining share a slightly bigger piece of the profit pie.

Cisco said this month that in response to the tax package, it would bring back to the United States $67 billion of overseas cash, using $25 billion to finance additional share repurchases. Alphabet, the parent company of Google, authorized up to $8.6 billion in stock purchases. PepsiCo announced a fresh $15 billion in planned buybacks. Chip gear maker Applied Materials disclosed plans for a $6 billion program to buy shares. Late last month, home improvement retailer Lowe’s unveiled plans for $5 billion in purchases.

On Monday, Mr. Buffett said on CNBC that Berkshire might be open to buy some of its shares. The remarks helped send Berkshire’s stock — and the broader market — higher.

More buybacks are almost certainly on the way. UBS analysts covering Apple said the iPhone maker might authorize another $30 billion in share purchases when it reports its next quarterly earnings in April. That would be on top of the $30 billion it already spends each year to buy back its shares.

Nepotism Failure

Jared Kushner, who has worn dueling hats for more than a year as President Donald Trump's senior adviser and son-in-law, has been stripped of his access to the nation's top secrets, officials said Tuesday after his security clearance was downgraded.

Kushner, along with other White House officials who had been operating on interim clearances, had their access altered last week after chief of staff John Kelly stipulated new changes to the security clearance system.
Aides who previously operated on "top secret" interim clearances saw their access changed to "secret," a classification for less sensitive material.

If Cisco (for instance) is bringing back $67 billion and only using $25 billion of that to buy back stocks, doesn't that leave another $42 billion for other investment?

Is the $42 billion in investment somehow negatively offset by the fact that stockholders also got a boost in wealth?

How about the President and in Russia before he ran for President?

Mueller team asks about Trump's Russian business dealings as he weighed a run for president
By Kara Scannell, Pamela Brown, Gloria Borger and Jim Sciutto
(CNN) - Investigators for special counsel Robert Mueller have recently been asking witnesses about Donald Trump's business activities in Russia prior to the 2016 presidential campaign as he considered a run for president, according to three people familiar with the matter.
Questions to some witnesses during wide-ranging interviews included the timing of Trump's decision to seek the presidency, potentially compromising information the Russians may have had about him, and why efforts to brand a Trump Tower in Moscow fell through, two sources said.
The lines of inquiry indicate Mueller's team is reaching beyond the campaign to explore how the Russians might have sought to influence Trump at a time when he was discussing deals in Moscow and contemplating a presidential run.
Mueller was appointed to investigate Russian meddling in the 2016 campaign. The President claims that any investigation of his family's finances would be a breach of the special counsel's mandate.
Two of the sources said they do not know from the questions asked whether Mueller has concrete evidence to indicate wrongdoing.
"You ask everything even if you don't think it's credible," one of the sources said, adding, "the allegations are out there, and it was checking the box."
The special counsel's office, an attorney for the President and the Trump Organization all declined to comment for this story.
Questions about Trump's entry into the campaign
Investigators asked one witness when Trump became serious about running for President, a person familiar with the matter said, adding that investigators seemed very interested in when Trump actually decided to run and how that coincided with his business ventures.
The source said the witness told Mueller's team his impression was that Trump was serious about running back in 2014. Trump tweeted earlier this month that he "didn't know" that he was going to run for president in 2014.
This witness was also asked whether Russians had been seen in the office at Trump Tower New York prior to 2015. The answer was no.
Questions have also touched on the possibility of compromising information that Russians may have or claim to have about Trump, according to two sources familiar with the matter. That subject matter echoes claims in a controversial dossier written by a former British spy who was paid by an opposition research firm underwritten by Trump's Democratic opponents.
Questions about Trump's Moscow trip
Several lines of questioning to witnesses have centered on the 2013 Miss Universe pageant, which was held in Moscow, and unsuccessful discussions to brand a Trump Tower Moscow, two sources said.

Coldheartedtruth Teller said...

Trump did not mention during the presidential campaign that his company explored these two business deals in Russia. Instead, he insisted that he had "nothing to do with Russia." Even when talking about his past dealings with Russians -- like the Miss Universe pageant -- Trump never referred to the prospective deal that fell through a few weeks before the Iowa caucuses.
Trump's past business dealings have been an area of interest to counterintelligence officials. CNN has previously reported that before the special counsel's appointment in May, the FBI had combed through the list of shell companies and buyers of Trump-branded real estate properties and scrutinized the roster of tenants at Trump Tower reaching back more than a half-dozen years.
Investigators have looked at the backgrounds of Russian business associates connected to Trump surrounding the 2013 Miss Universe pageant.
CNN reported last month that the Trump Organization has given some documents to Mueller, and that the bulk of the information requested was from the time during the campaign and transition, not Trump's earlier business dealings.
Last year, Trump said he would view any investigation of his or his family's personal finances as a "violation" by Mueller that crosses a red line. Trump's lawyers previously have said that Trump's business dealings from the time before he was a presidential candidate do not fall under the scope of what Mueller is authorized to investigate by the Justice Department.
Mueller was appointed last spring to investigate Russian meddling and "any matters that arose or may arise directly from the investigation," according to the order signed by Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, a Trump appointee.

CH was once again shown gullible by the President Tweeter.

Last week's televised town hall on guns and school safety has led to finger-pointing by the father of a Florida school shooting survivor and CNN.

The network says Glenn Haab, the father of Marjory Stoneman Douglas junior Colton Haab, doctored emails to push a claim that the network told his son what to say at the forum. Colton Haab backed out of the Feb. 21 event.

CNN denies scripting any remarks and released an email exchange between a CNN producer and Glenn Haab that it says Glenn Haab altered. The altered email was sent to other news outlets, including Fox News.

Haab acknowledges omitting some words from the email but says he didn't do it on purpose.

Business Insider reported Friday evening that, according to CNN, a network producer agreed to let the younger Haab write and ask a question about arming teachers at the network's Wednesday town hall.

But Haab’s father sent the network a long speech that he insisted his son read at the town hall. CNN, citing time constraints, told Glenn they needed Colton to stick with the question “that he submitted.”

The father of a Florida shooting survivor acknowledged Tuesday he omitted words in an email he sent media outlets accusing CNN of using scripted remarks at a town hall on guns and school safety.

Dozens of conservative websites called the network's Feb. 21 town hall forum scripted after Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School junior Colton Haab skipped the event and said the network had told him what question to ask. The websites call it proof the forum was slanted against gun rights. President Donald Trump tweeted about it on Friday, saying "Just like so much of CNN, Fake News!"

CNN countered with a release of email exchanges between producer Carrie Stevenson, Colton Haab and his father Glenn and accused Glenn Haab of deliberately altering email sent to Fox News and the Huffington Post.

Yep....the party of incompetent and hypocrisy s is alive and well in Georgia....

Republicans have been trying for years to convince us that corporations have First Amendment rights — at least, that is, when it works in their favor.

Protecting free speech was the principle behind the Supreme Court’s 2010 decision in the Citizens United v. FEC case, which lifted the ban on corporate spending in elections and opened the spigot for unlimited outside spending. Religious freedom is the rallying cry in a raft of efforts to give businesses the ability to deny birth control to their employees or to refuse service to customers based on their sexual orientation.

So it was an outrageous act of hypocrisy — not to mention dubious constitutionality — when Georgia Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle, who leads the Georgia Senate, tweeted this on Monday about his state’s largest private employer:

Delta Air Lines is one of a growing number of corporations that is severing its ties to the National Rifle Association in the wake of the massacre of 17 students and educators at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla. It decided to discontinue travel discounts to NRA members out of what the airline said was “respect for our customers and employees on both sides. We felt it was best to remove ourselves from the current debate and remain neutral.”


In other words, it was a business decision, made not to promote a political agenda, but to distance the airline from controversy by treating NRA members just like its other customers.

This was not the first time the airline has withdrawn its support of a venture that has become politically hot. Last year, Delta pulled its sponsorship from New York City’s Public Theater over the “graphic staging” in its production of “Julius Caesar,” which featured a Trump look-alike in the role of the assassinated Roman ruler.

In this case, the issue is a $50 million jet fuel sales tax exemption, promoted by Gov. Nathan Deal (R), that would primarily benefit Delta. It has already passed the House, as part of a broader tax bill.

There is a reasonable argument to be had over whether that kind of tax break is smart economic development on the state’s part, or corporate welfare. But Cagle’s threat makes it clear that what’s really going on here is political retribution, not economic policy.

In Georgia, it would seem, a business’s First Amendment rights stop at the Second Amendment.

For those like rat the hole who parroted Faux news on the Fake CNN story....even faux now admits they fucked up....Nesx, it is your turn rat to man up and admit you were taken like the asshole you are....

Fox News Channel’s Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity set the record straight Tuesday night about segments on their last week’s programs, in which Parkland,FL shooting survivor Colton Haab and father Glenn claimed CNN tried to script the teen’s question for that network’s town hall on school shootings.

Glenn Haab today acknowledged he omitted some words from an email he got from a CNN producer that he had forwarded to news outlets to prove his claim. The removal of those words made it sounds as if CNN had scripted a question for Colton. Glenn Haab told the Associated Press the deletion of the words was accidental. The Haabs had sent the altered CNN email to various news outlets, including FNC.


“[Colton] said the network tried to script his question. Both he and his father said they had emails to prove that. Told the entire media,” Hannity said on his Tuesday night program. “Tonight Glenn Haab told the AP that he omitted some words from the email; he says he did not do it on purpose. Therefore what Haab told all news outlets last week was inaccurate. Our job I always to strive for the truth, and we wanted to correct the record.”

Carlson said FNC had contacted CNN last week to verify Haab’s assertion and comment. CNN, Carlson said, sent FNC emails that did not match what the Haabs had given FNC. Contacted to discuss the inconsistency, the Haabs had told FNC “they were being slandered by CNN,” Carlson said.

Now, that the family has acknowledged the removal of words in a CNN email, Carlson said, “There is no evidence, as of right now, that CNN tried to give Colton Haab a scripted question.”

no, actually i don't know that and neither do you since jared's specific duties have never been shared with the public. we know he's a "senior advisor to the president" and that's it. what that entails is anyone's guess. how much he'll be hindered by the reduction in clearance is also anyone's guess. so me thinks you're just talking out your fat ass again.

So Georgia Republicans and Governor Deal want to end Delta's tax break because they're not discounting fares for NRA members.

First off, Delta shouldn't be getting any tax break to begin with, unless the same tax structure is distributed to all airlines. That said, this is the kind of heavy-handed government interference in the free market that fiscal conservatives (such as myself) tend to deplore. Restructuring tax policy to benefit a strong political lobby. Amazingly craven of them.

Well no shit, sherlock....when you learn what classifications mean, get back to me...Until you do, you are about as relevant as menstrals....You don't need to know his duties to know he cannot hold relevant discussions with anyone at the whitehouse since anyone discussing anything of a sensitive classified nature can be accused of disclosing classified data to non cleared person....a felony. IOW"S time for jared to go home.....Buh bye....

As predicted.....much to menstrals and CH's chagrin....lOLOLOL

Following a threat by Georgia's lieutenant governor to kill a proposed lucrative tax cut for Atlanta-based Delta over the carrier's decision to end a discount fare program for National Rifle Association members, lawmakers in other states have been courting Delta to ditch the Peach state.

"I will kill any tax legislation that benefits @Delta unless the company changes its position and fully reinstates its relationship with @NRA," Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle tweeted Monday. "Corporations cannot attack conservatives and expect us not to fight back."

Cagle's threat prompted elected officials elsewhere to roll out the welcome mat to one of the world's largest airlines.

".@Delta, if Georgia politicians disagree with your stand against gun violence, we invite you to move your headquarters to New York," New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo tweeted Tuesday.


New York Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul chimed in, ".@Delta, as one of your most frequent flyers, know that the NY LG admires your principled stance," she tweeted Tuesday. "Let’s continue our great relationship. NY is open for business & [loves] Delta – move HQ to where you’re appreciated?"

A notch the size of a mountain, idiot...He can't get classified briefings....IOW's he cannot get the data he needs for Israel, UAE and anyone else he is dealing with....Yer really a moron rat hole who needs to find a real hobby like gun sucking....LOL

I believe that Kushner's qualifications are that he can put up with Trump, and has to toe the line no matter what. He has to, as his son in law.

I'm not sure that his classification level has much to do with that, nor how much if any classified information Kushner consumes in the course of his duties. Maybe, only incidental to his conversations with Trump.

Because of those qualifications, it would surprise me if Trump fired him or reassigned him, as you'd normally expect. It's one of the problems I have with nepotism at that level (the same problem I had with Hillary). Bill kept her busy for a while with an unachievable project (universal healthcare), but he couldn't really stop her damage (Travel Office, among others) because he couldn't fire her. Kushner, maybe not even that is possible.
