OMG, imagine applying for that job!

How is that possibly cheaper than making new ones?

So many inappropriate jokes to be made.

The company that was caught doing this is in a very sticky situation. It's going to be very hard for them to escape the charges. I read that the evidence against them weighs as much as a child.

Cardinal Becciu: Vatican official forced out in rare resignation
High-ranking Vatican official Cardinal Giovanni Angelo Becciu has unexpectedly resigned but has revealed he was told to do so by Pope Francis.
He said he was suspected of giving Church money to his brothers, and denied any wrongdoing.
Cardinal Becciu was a close aide to the Pope and previously had a key job in the Vatican's Secretariat of State. He became involved in a controversial deal to invest in a luxury London building with Church funds. That investment has since been the subject of a financial investigation. Resignations at this level of the Vatican are extremely rare and the Holy See said little in its communique released late on Thursday. -
Donald Trump 'paid $750 in federal income taxes in 2016 and 2017' - NY Times
Donald Trump paid just $750 (£580) in federal income tax both in 2016, the year he ran for the US presidency, and in his first year in the White House, the New York Times says.
The newspaper - which says it obtained tax records for Mr Trump and his companies over two decades - also says that he paid no income taxes at all in 10 of the previous 15 years. The records reveal "chronic losses and years of tax avoidance", it says. Mr Trump called the report "fake news". "Actually I paid tax. And you'll see that as soon as my tax returns - it's under audit, they've been under audit for a long time," he told reporters after the story was published on Sunday. "The IRS [Internal Revenue Service] does not treat me well… they treat me very badly," he said. -

The point is why did the creator click the link button but not enter a URL. It is a user issue. If you are not going to use a URL, don’t click the fucking button.

Not exactly - not if he had old losses he could still use to reduce current profits...

Seriously? I've paid more than $750 every single year since I worked part time in high school making minimum wage.
So his losses were so dramatic that he paid $750 one year, and nothing at all 10 out of the previous 15 years? Sounds exactly like his claims of profitability were false...
What a joke that people like you still defend this clown.

That's still losses. It means his losses are so epic, he's not still earned enough to cover them.
