I an skeptical about its practical effects, but it is one of the very few decisions that I agree must be taken on a global scale.

I think it will kill companies that overextended to return to the United States, under Trump's tax reduction incentive. 15% across the board is a lot higher than some of them paid in 2019 and 2020.

It's going to kill Ireland.

@4meAndyou Not that Ireland does not deserve for their shameful low corporate taxes politics.

@Cierzo That's cold. Really icy cold. Nasty. The corporations won't suffer as much as the PEOPLE who will go hungry...lose their jobs and may be even their homes.

@4meAndyou People working for big tech corporations are part of the problem. Would you feel pity for the soldiers of an army invading your country when they lose their jobs?

@Cierzo People are people...and the employees of big tech are not soldiers.
