Huh? The loophole is already there.
Everything of their restructuring was signed off on by multiple states’ attorneys general. And their for-profit entity pays taxes like any other company.
Making them pay tax on stuff they did while a non-profit is making up laws on the fly - a strong, rule-of-law-based system is critical for the US to function properly.
You can’t just arbitrarily make decisions based on what you think should happen because it’s fair or unfair.
If you want OpenAI to pay back taxes, you need to change the laws first.
- verdverm 1y agoThe issue is not the laws. The issue is that OpenAI mislead officials and externalized costs on the taxpayer.The extent to which this happened should be looked into by professionals. It's not about changing the laws, it's about enforcing the ones we have fairly. Too many orgs and companies buy politicians, and now ballrooms for them
- Esophagus4 1y agoWhat law was not enforced?
- verdverm 1y agoPeople who are experts should look into it and let us know (i.e. an investigation) I would not trust the corporations and politicians to be forthcoming or transparent on this
