This is insane. General Electric- yes, that gargantuan international corporation- accumulated $14 billion in profit last year while paying no federal taxes.
For perspective, those of you who bought a print from the Myrmecos galleries this past year (yes- I do sell prints!) contributed more to funding the American government via taxes on my business than the entire GE conglomerate.

Heard about this yesterday. All I’ve got to say is they better have a generous program to support non-profit causes to compensate (at least partially).
What a country!

Either Myrmecos itself is a now corporate behemoth to rival the likes of GE, or this is a real case of “Imagination at work”.
I’m going to have to start wearing a tie.

Wow, that’s crazy.
This must be taken as an act of aggression….send forth your army of insects to topple the faceless corporations to a position of equality!
Why doesn’t that surprise me?
