Which to clarify further, their stock market is like 15% of their economy. China is largely state owned... It's not the same as us markets crashing.

If taxes and morality have nothing to do with each other, then the answer is simple: Everybody should avoid paying taxes. But if we borrow a lesson from moral philosophy just to help us with that thought – Descartes universality principle m

No, if there are no expenses in the UK, then their UK revenue IS ALL profit. If their US company is wearing all the expenses then they get a tax saving there. They are trying to have their cake and eat it, and declare expenses in high tax r

No it doesn't need to be fair or reasonable, if you want access to the market - pay the tax. Simple. If you don't think it's fair or reasonable, don't enter the market. Kind of like saying "I'll only play mon

Tax is 100% a moral issue. Just as all laws are. There can be multiple legally correct answers because there are different circumstances, that's why we have courts, and not Judge Dredd. You are preaching utopian idealism, but a high s

So when you said "hard evidence" you meant: Opinion pieces. And some anecdotal evidence of yourself, which could well fall within the parameters of modern medicine as well, but you've built a narrative that your "belief

Well by that reasoning, antibiotics are "domination of life"... I bet you the rock formation folk aren't willing to let a festering infection - "just be". So the difference is purely about aesthetics, which brings u

I'm curious what your reasoning for thinking Russia and China are behind israel on this is? Surely Russia and China have put a lot more resources into this than israel even has...

Pretty sure that's not true. Buddhism meets chinese cultural values namely Daoism, and later Confucianism, and out pops Chan Buddhism, which travels to Japan and becomes Zen. There is a clear link. How much influence is probably a th

Gravity is also an inherent property of mass... It's also a force. Crazy huh?

Pretty sure inertia IS a force. But I think this point has been laboured enough. Tomayto...Tomarto.

If that were the case then you could get into orbit by simply going straight up. Why do they go laterally up to 8km/s then? (if not to generate an 'outward' force?). There are two vectors being added here. One is gravity.

... We are talking a tangent on a circle that is changing every second. So that is a change of velocity, which is acceleration. Outwards is clearly "out" of the circle. The tangent (on the curve) would be a snapshot of that &quo

by 1stop 11y ago
Is "tangential velocity" not just another way of saying "outward acceleration"?

But it does imply a disc, as in a circular thing. SSDs are very square looking discs...

The article is echoing a pretty well trodden train of thought on the ultimate conclusion of capitalism. Which no one has seriously been able to refute. Wasted time is a bit harsh. Catchy one liners "Wealth creation through creativity

That doesn't actually matter to the point at hand. My point was we've got all the surplus value there is to be had. The fact that we'll probably squander that too, or it will decrease in value, only strengthens the questions

I think you're missing the point. If I could summarise: Capitalism generates capital. Yay for us, we now have lots of capital. But once you've generated all the capital, and maximised all the profits to the point of driving surp

That's not true. The company gets 10M. The shareholder still received nothing, and thus has no tax liability. When the shareholder sells their shares they will be taxed. I don't understand your scenario at all... :\
