Windsor Accord Benefits TechGods & PEUs


The Trump II entourage to Windsor Castle included TechGods and PEUs (private equity underwriters).  ABC News reported formal State Dinner guests included:

Blackstone CEO Steve Schwarzman, Rupert Murdoch, Apple CEO Tim Cook, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman.
The focus of Trump's trip was deals.  BBC reported:

The vast majority of the £150bn investment - £90bn - will come from Blackstone over the next decade, although how most of this money will be spent has yet to be decided. The US private equity firm announced in June it would spend £370bn across Europe over 10 years.

Blackstone co-founder Stephen Schwarzman has been busy filling his three acre lake within his British countryside estate.  His water pumping efforts aroused the ire of his neighbors.  Local officials cut off the spigot.

TechGods and PEU Legends generally don't give without the expectation of return.  Both have long histories of tax and regulatory avoidance.

Politico reported:

...the tech industry are joining forces with the White House to pressure the U.K. on digital taxes. 
The tech lobby also wants to see some rollback of the U.K.’s Online Safety Act
The UK can do this the easy way or the hard way.  Trump II, the digital Caligula and his TechGod/PEU predators, are coming.  They plan to usurp everything.
