  • J.D. Vance shouldn't open his mouth about Apple if he doesn't have a clue

    Vance could be 1 heartbeat away from the presidency, behind the oldest president the country has ever had (who doesn't appear all that healthy). 

    Unfortunately I think all Americans have to care.
    As long as there is a serious chance of Tr*mp moving back into the White House (how the FUCK this is even a possibility is utterly bewildering to me), anything Vance does or says is comparatively irrelevant.

    What a beautiful situation; thanks for that video! 

    I love that the Jewish Space Lasers lady went at Loomer for "racism".

  • Apple must pay EU $14 billion over Ireland tax arrangement

    Apple should have been paying tax on the earnings it made in each individual nation instead of making its non-US earnings disappear into a tax haven. Apple can say all it likes about paying tax according to local tax laws, but it did its best to hide earnings in each country by using basically a post box in Ireland. 
    They were using a construct specifically codified into Irish law to encourage multinational megacorps to build international headquarters there. 

    They did exactly what the law suggested they should do. 

    That law, of course, has long been changed, since it was found to unfairly advantage the Irish economy over the rest of Europe — which is why gains made in this way need to be paid back. 

    QED.

    In other news, immigrants in Springfield steal and eat others' dogs and eat them. 

    Who the fuck cares what bullshit JD Vance spouts, unless it's subsequently picked up by Tr*mp to utterly embarrass himself to a worldwide audience?

    The part that i totally not understand: Essentially the EU ruled that Ireland is guilty of charging a too low tax rate. It certainly raked in all of the benefits (i.e. moving lot's of money through Ireland, without much costs to Ireland).

    So as a punishment for Ireland it get's 13 Billion $.

    Please EU can I be punished as well?

    (Much fairer would have been that Ireland - not Apple - get's to pay 13 BiIllion$ to the rest of the EU member states)
    This is not a punitive case. This is about people paying what they owe.
