minus-squareWrathEnchanter@europe.publinkfedilinkarrow-up27·3 days agoOh no! What if they took all their fucking datacenters and their pollution and their buying all RAM and their pulling all electricity out of the grid with them?
minus-squareMyVeryRealName@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down3·3 days agoWhat on god’s green Earth makes you think they would?
minus-squareWrathEnchanter@europe.publinkfedilinkarrow-up4·edit-23 days agoWell if not, then all their stuff is still there and could be seized. Say… as a moving-out-of-country-tax

minus-squareMyVeryRealName@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 days agoI thought you meant the companies.
minus-squarewholookshere@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 days agoSame statement. They don’t pay corporate tax either.
minus-squareMyVeryRealName@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 day agoThey absolutely do. They don’t pay enough but they don’t pay nothing either.
minus-squarewholookshere@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up2·edit-21 day agoIf they’re not paying enough, why are we subsidising them? Why are they still benifical? Do you think if Walmart had to pay all of the food stamp costs of their employees, do you think Walmart would dissapear and replaced by nothing? I also encourage you to look up how much federal tax Amazon pays
minus-squareMyVeryRealName@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 day agoRules like forcing companies to pay for food stamp costs for employees are definitely a better solution than trying to increase their taxes.
minus-squareRogueJello@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·3 days agoToo late, already happened. It’s the reason why Ireland is the home for such notable Irish tech companies as Google, MSFT, Amazon, Meta, and others.
minus-squareMyVeryRealName@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down1·3 days agoThose are American companies
minus-squareRogueJello@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·19 hours agoBingo, but that’s not what the legal paper work says.
minus-squareMyVeryRealName@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-211 hours agoThat is what the legal paper work says. For Google, for instance, it says Delaware.

Oh shit, you weren’t sarcastic?
Lol no
Great sarcasm!
That is sarcasm, right?
Nope

Damn, I wish that was true
