Pouyanné, who last month floated the idea of a New York listing for the company, told shareholders there was “no question” of TotalEnergies leaving France.
He said in April that there was “a case” to move from the Paris CAC 40 index to New York in search of higher valuations and larger markets.
The French president, Emmanuel Macron, asked by Bloomberg if he would be “happy” with such a move, responded: “Not at all and I would be very surprised.”
Sounds like market manipulation to me.
Ahhh yes, I think you're right.
Just as bad as pineapple on pizza.
Fuck you.
Pineapple contains an enzyme that dissolves flesh. When you eat raw pineapple, it eats you back. This is why your mouth goes kind of numb if you eat a lot of it.
However, with a little bit of heating the enzyme denatures and becomes nonfunctional. Thus, pineapple belongs on pizza.
We are falling back to the Yahoo categories curated view of the internet.
Given the wave of Yahoo and MSN repost news articles, where they're word for word the same as the original source, this is far too true.
To the moon!!

Wow. Meet Your Macher
China's navy has apparently tested out a hypersonic rail gun — basically a device that uses a series of electromagnets to accelerate a projectile to incredible speeds — but during a demonstration of its power, things didn't go quite as planned.
As the South China Morning Post reports, the rail gun test lobbed a precision-guided projectile — or smart bomb — nine miles into the stratosphere. But because it apparently didn't go up as high as it was supposed to, the test was ultimately declared unsuccessful.
This conclusion came after an analysis led by Naval Engineering University professor Lu Junyong, whose team found with the help of AI that even though the winged smart bomb exceeded Mach 5 speeds, it didn't perform as well as it could have.
This occurred, as Lu's team found, because the projectile was spinning too fast during its ascent, resulting in an "undesirable tilt." Gun for Everybody
Successful or not, news of the test is a pretty big deal given that it was just a few months ago that reports emerged about China's other proposed super-powered rail gun, which is intended to send astronauts on a Boeing 737-size ship into space (NASA had begun building its own astronaut-shooting railgun in the 1990s, but had to abandon it due to lack of dinero.)
As with many space technologies, there's the propensity for some messy overlap with military tech. As such, news about the smart bomb rail gun test, which for the record did not make it all the way to space, could well freak out officials stateside.
Chinese officials, meanwhile, are paying lip service to the hypersonic rail gun technology's potential to revolutionize civilian travel by creating even faster railways and consumer space launches, too.
Despite the big promises of politicos, there are still lots of technical kinks that'll need to be ironed out before a giant rail gun is ready to shoot humans — or weapons — into space, not least of which the spinning and tilt issues demonstrated by the Naval Engineering University researchers in this test.

All I'm reading here is that London police have allowed you to get away with breaking the law, and you're expecting other countries to do the same.
45% overall would be far higher than 125k. You would have 20% tax up to £50k, 40% tax between £50k and £125k, and then 45% tax above £125k. So in order to be taxed 45% overall you would have to earn well over £125k, as a significant portion of your earnings would still be taxed at the lower rates. You don't start paying the higher rate until you're earning it, and even then you pay the lower rate for any earnings below the threshold.
The UK tax system also has a werid position between about £100k and £125k. There is a tax free allowance between 0 and around £12.5k, when you earn over £100k this starts to reduce until £125k where it is entirely removed. After £125k you start making money again, but with earnings of between £100k and £125k per year you can actually take home less.
There is specific maths that clear this up more consisely (not least because thresholds change every year) but that's the general gist of it.
I find it curious that your comment has 3 downvotes, and their comment has 3 upvotes, and that you mentioned they have 3 accounts. Vote manipulation perhaps?
