To me this situation seems more like a store owner forgetting to lock the door the somebody noticed, came inside put up a sign on the front window saying that the store owner is too stupid to lock his own door and then calling the owner to

The reason (or one of) is that it’s easier to avoid paying taxes on capital if you’re rich enough by relocating to another country besides various other schemes which allow to minimize your tax rate. So to a large extent competition between

How do you know those issues thyroid issues were not caused by fossil fuel pollution? Many more people have serious health issues or die every year due pollutants emitted from burning coal (and other fossil fuels but coal is by far the wors

So you’re saying that it’s illegal for a company to subsidize it’s unprofitable products by using funds from more successful products? Because that’s basically what’s Google business model was from the beginning (i.e. release a bunch of fre

Sorry, honestly but you sound to me like of this “European” attitude you’re fighting against. Basically you’re suggesting investing large amounts of public money (because no sane VC would invest enough capital to build an alternative YT) no

Why would you want to create an alternative to Youtube anyway? Streaming videos for free is a terrible business model YT itself still wasn’t profitable back in 2015 (and Google stopped releasing figures after that) for all we know Google mi

Well according to you the invasion of Iraq was actually legitimate because Iraq was a “state engaged genocide of its own people”. Of course when most of this was happening right after the first Gulf War ,when Sadam was killed ten of thousan

Still someone has to borrow the money for it to be “printed”/created so technically it’s correct.

Having a low debt to GDP ratio doesn’t help if nobody is willing to lend you money. The yoeld on 10 year Turkish bonds is ~20%. In contrast it’s way cheaper for Greece to pay interest on their debt despite having an over 200% debt ratio si

What mechanisms does the EU have to block and US company from buying another private company(in a non defence or vital infrastructure sector)?

Not one of those companies is profitable, so it seems it’s actually more correct than not..

So you expect that Mc will suddenly start giving them the 30%? Or that they’re going to start delivering completely for free (no fee & no cut from the restaurant)?

Oh, I’m stupid.. it’s 11th worst counting from the bottom, rather than 11th highest.

How do you even get this number? Even if I only count actual EU member (exclude Norway) that have numbers for 2020 Portugal ends up 15th, when Ireland and Italy publish their data it will be 17th. Also is this purchasing power adjusted? If

If you simplify everything enough (as children tend to do) it’s not hard to see Guy Fawkes as a freedom trying to rekove a tyrannical government, rather than a religious zealot trying to replace it with an equally oppressive government (jus

But is it substantially lower percent wise in single payer systems like the NHS? Assuming the 7% figure is correct that does not seem like an excessive amount and event cutting it by half would only result in a marginal decrease in prices.

It’s not an all or nothing outcome. And I’m not talking about Google or Apple leaving. There are many companies which have dev offices in Russia, they would be less likely to hire new employees in Russia if they believed they can be arbitra

I’m not denying these threats were issued, but actually following them through would be a very irrational thing to do. So it’s probably just a bluff. Of course it doesn’t really matter that much since Google/Apple were going to comply

The US government allows Google to operate in Russia (unlike Iran for example). So how can it arbitrarily ’sanction’ employees for complying with the laws of a country their company operates in. Do that sound fair to you? It wouldn’t make a
