    AG is worth 300MM. He sold his failing network for (his take) 100MM. At last check Al Jazeera is in a lawsuit with AG over the remaining balance owed of 64MM. That means he made exactly 36MM off of Current TV. Again, a just about bankrupt "network".

    Gore was given (how does one of the dumbest occupants ever of the WH get 74MM in free stock handed to him?) free stock and recently sold half of it. That total was 37MM for his shares.

    If he is worth 300MM and he received 110MM from the ventures you say is where he made all his money, where do you think the other 190MM came from?

    Dance you chicken, dance.

    Have you heard of investing and capital gains? Do you think his money just sits in a bank account?

    You are given those positions because of who you are and he was an ex-VP. He didn't deserve nor work for any of that stock. It was a bribe basically like all gigantic endowments on BOD members. Most BOD meetings happen once a quarter you nitwit. Exactly what in the hell did you think he did 4 days out of the fucking year that moved Apple stock.

    What a dumb ass.

    Add to that there was zero chance Albert would have been put on the Apple board if he wasn't pushing GW...from Kyoto in 1998 to announcing in 2002 that he wasn't going to run for Prez in 2004 and instead focus all of his efforts on GW Religion. He was put on the Apple board in 2003.

    Keep dancing HondoFS...

    Oh FFS. The bulk of his wealth was made when the stock market was a fucking disaster. He got rich off of tax payers and the rest of us lost half our 401K's.

    You are a joke.

    That's how all boards work jackass. BOD seats are given by CEO's to other CEO's and people of prominence who then turn around and place said CEO on their board. I'm not saying Gore (who is still on their board) was any better or worse then any other board member but he still wasn't given free stock. It's very likely that no one on Apple's board other then Cook has really done anything to move the stock. Do you think Tim Cook has done anything to move Nike's stock even though he sits on the Nike BOD?

    What a dumb ass.

    I heard that the rich didn't spend or invest their tax cuts

    So were you lying then or are you lying now?
    Investing in the stock market is different than a business making an investment leading to employment. You seriously are a dullard. And I chuckle at the others jumping on your fucktarded bandwagon.

    Of course it isn't

    Not even a good try

    What do businesses do when people invest in them by buying their stock?

    Maybe if you stopped lying in every post you wouldn't make such a fool of yourself

    He was given free stock. He didn't purchase squat. Continue to argue with yourself but those are the facts. The other 70% of his wealth came from tax payer dollars. Thank God I don't own any stock in Apple anymore so I didn't have to pay that pathetic dumb ass off of my dollar like I had to on all his gifts from BO through tax payer bucks.

    Last time I checked, buying stock in a company provides that company capital to make investments leading to employment.


    Um buying stock, unless involved in an IPO or pre IPO, gives nothing to a company. That's the dumbest thing I've ever read in here.

    Provides stock options for cash free compensation. Provides capital for tax-free mergers like T Mobile and Sprint so they can compete with Verizon and AT&T. Also for secondary offerings to raise capital for expansion. Other than that hondo you nailed it.

    IF the Donald and The Squad were truly serious about draining the swamp/leveling the playing field on the system, the first bi-partisan thing they should do is toss out the insider trading exemption to members of Congress. That is just graft and corruption on the investing public's teet. Fucking bullshit.

    Then, they would implement a 5 year ban on former members of Congress and government employees from engaging in lobbying activities. Now, this would dramatically cut down on the sex in restaurant bathrooms throughout DC which is a shame but it would also reduce the quid pro quo trade of votes now for riches later crap that currently plays out.

    Same 5 year ban on former members of Congress, Presidents and other government employees from sitting on Boards of public companies.

    Finally 5 year ban on speaking fees and book deals. Fuck that shit. Go get a real job, take long walks on the beach for perspective, whatever... NOBODY is worth $250K+ per speech. Moses presenting the motherfucking 10 Commandments to the joobs wasn't worth $250K.

    Fuck Al Gore's wealth. Fuck Barrack Obama's cash grab. Fuck Bill Clinton and the Epstein Clinton. Foundation. Fuck Condi on the College Football Selection Committee and fuck Dick Cheney because, well, fuck Dick Cheney.


    This is a fantastic poont that deserves owen imo.

    Yep there is no money to be made from scaring the public with global warming or climate change


    You really think that's how Al Gore made his money?
    Yes
    Doubling down. I'll wait for @SFGbob to swoop in and start blasting you as a liar.

    https://business.financialpost.com/news/how-al-gore-amassed-a-200-million-fortune-after-presidential-defeat

    If you don't want to read that, his fortune was made selling a TV station and being on the Apple board. HTH
    And for the book and the two movies and the speaking fees

    Why so defensive? Lots of people get rich with religious scams. Quite common really

    The article you linked was speculation on the graft he collected from Al Jazeera for a worthless TC network and Apple stock given to him.

    He also lost tens of millions of dollars on green tech Nice to have a scam to fall back on
    You think the book and speaking fees are material to his hundred plus million? Race you are better then that.
    Again, I am amazed at your dishonesty or complete ignorance.

    Al Gore received a butt load of free stock in a Silicon Valley venture capital firm (same with Apple and numerous other companies looking for more tax payer generosity). That firm invested 45 million into a company called Silver Springs Networks which was a company that had some type of hardware or software (not sure which) that made the power grid more efficient. BO invested 2.5 billion in grants to the energy sector. Guess who was given $305 million of that 2 billion? You guessed it, energy companies that all had contracts with Silver Springs Networks. Ahh yes, the insider gift that keeps on giving.

    Al Gore was paid handsomely to do over 500 speeches (this is in a two year period just after the turn of the century) that dealt with one single solitary topic: Man made climate change. Guess what? Many government organizations paid him US Tax Dollars to speak on MMGW. Again, the insider gift that keeps on giving.

    Gore took all this free money from tax payers and then invested it in many other green initiatives that would go on to rely upon tax payer dollars to kick of their programs. Another scam on the US taxpayer that ended up right in his pocket. If Hillary had been elected and all of the carbon limiting companies Gore had invested in had been funded by her using our tax dollars he would have been over a billionaire.

    Suffice to say, your contention that Gore didn't make it off of MMGW is pure unadulterated bullshit.

    Now you care about how the wealthy spend their money? 500 speeches is chump change compared to selling his TV station and apple stock. Al Gore is shitty enough. You don't actually have to lie about his actions.
    Now, tell the rest of the story.

    Al Gore sold "his" TV network to Al-fucking-Jazeera.

    Ponder that, motherfucker. The mouthpiece/propoganda arm of Al Queda and Bin Laden.

    But but Trump....Russians.....Kavanaugh.

    That is some dirty fucking money. And that goddamned mansion is a carbon footprint nightmare.

    Fuck Al Gore.

    And that horse he rode in on.

    So a company isn’t allowed to sell additional shares after an IPO? I’d like to see the law that says that. Please triple down on stupid.

    For sure they can. But Al Gore was given his stock. Then I'm sure he reinvested in mutual funds and shit.

    You sure? I think only Al knows for sure. But what difference does it make how he invests? Company stock purchased through a mutual fund still helps the company. Supply and demand

    When do 97% of people agree on anything, even ice cream? In scientific circles, consensus is a rare trophy, held to famously exacting standards. When a scientific consensus is finally reached — e.g., the Earth orbits the sun; water freezes at 32°F, 0°C; blood is red — a new fact joins the foundations of human discovery.

    Under normal circumstances, a 97% consensus of the world’s leading scientists on anything would establish it as fact and compel action if needed. But our circumstances are not normal. Only 12% of Americans realize that that the scientific consensus on climate change is greater than 90%. Even among people who are Alarmed or Concerned about climate change, the consensus is somewhat unknown. Of the Alarmed, 84% understand the scientific consensus on climate change (16% do not); and 73% of the Concerned (27%).

    Very normal stuff, https://climate.nasa.gov/news/2908/landsat-illustrates-five-decades-of-change-to-greenland-glaciers/

    Is it overstated? Probably, but denying it is absurd, it will certainly create issues for our offspring, but probably not ourselves

    I'm willing to bet you don't question sources about the great replacement the same way

    Funny how you types like to cherry pick your sources so lackadaisicallly
    Sources? I Googled Greenland melting. And would a snapshot of an individual iceberg at 2 different times to make sweeping statements be defined as a "cherry pick" of data?
