Now here's a problem whose fixing would truly make the world a better place!
Why is there no YC/SV initiative to help make tech companies freaking pay their goddamn taxes?
Sounds easier than basic income experiments, robocars and going to Mars.
- ghouse 8y agoThey do pay their taxes. This is a problem with the tax code, not the company.
- Judgmentality 8y ago> Sounds easier than basic income experiments, robocars and going to Mars. I genuinely wonder which is harder. One is a problem of politics and capitalism, the others are largely technical hurdles and one where you're giving away money instead of trying to take it from giant corporations with armies of lawyers.
- sakisv 8y agoBecause both basic income and robocars and going to Mars are either directly or indirectly targeting to increase the profits of tech company X. This combined with the lobbying power that the said company X has, takes away any incentive someone might have to do something. Limiting the lobbying should probably be the first step.
