I’m not sure if you’re serious, but note that I was replying to someone who claimed that the Rothschilds own more than half of the world’s wealth and that the fact that they owned castles proves something. Certainly they were wealthy, but I’m sure that the wealth has been diluted over the centuries and it’s certainly been exceeded by others.
And both Facebook and Mark Zuckerberg are doing fine. Even after the drop in the stock price he’s still worth more than $15 billion on paper.
This thread is phenomenal. “Rothschild” is like “Candyman”, except if you say it five times in front of a mirror, a moron appears and starts jabbering about banking cabals.
Gosh, I wish I had Rothschild’s aplomb. And accent. And killer way to wear a tuxedo. All the while too responsibly dealing, no doubt for the millionth time, with a lunatic.
As a reminder, insults are not permitted in General Questions, no matter how outlandish someone’s opinions might be. If you want to express such opinions about another poster, take it to the Pit.
In the unlikely event that this poster returns, this is a reminder that General Questions is for factual information. If you want to continue along these lines, you’ll need to provide some factual support for your allegations.
Reuters is owned by Thompson-Reuters (they have a very large building about 2-3 miles from my apartment)
T-R is slight majority owned by The Woodbridge Group of Canada, which is an investment tool of the Thompson family descendents of Roy Thompson, who made his money in media and North Sea Oil.
That family has nothing to do with the Rothschilds.
Probably should expect that bullshit claims are not going to go unchallenged on this board. I have a party to go to, or I’d do a little research on some of your other claims. I just figured I’d start with this one since the company is just down the road.
