Yeah and obviously the predicament is if Ireland tries to rock the boat they'll just fuck off and find somewhere else.
I remember there was quite some concentrated anger about the fact Ireland was doing it because Facebook and Apple in particular were avoiding paying tax like fuck while they have quite literally exploited tons of countries to make all of those piles of cash in the first place.

It seems unfair to me that they can just channel all their shit through Ireland (I'm not even so sure they do it anymore) and avoid meaningful tax obligations elsewhere.

I would have a huge amount of respect for Trump if he gave the big tech companies a sort of "guaranteed preferential tax agreement for the next 25 years" (or something similar) so at the least the US could capture more of the tax. In fact, I am surprised more countries don't do that kind of thing to begin with (they sort of do by promising certain incentives to get them to build factories and shit, but I am more talking about them channeling their funds/sales through those countries).

I think whether we like it or not FAANG etc are here to stay so countries should try to work out ways to maximize tax from those companies and do so not by trying to throw the book at them but by trying to incentivize them in a way which is beneficial for both of them.
(admittedly I haven't read much up to date shit on FAANG tax bullshit, so I might be slightly out of date when it comes to today's reality)

Yeah, I'm not sure if they're still in Ireland either. Ireland ran into some trouble with the EU over what they were doing. Basically all of the EU countries agreed to have a minimum corporate tax rate so that no one country would end up with all of the huge companies. Ireland ignored it for as long as they could and, predictably, ended up with all the huge companies. I don't think they went back and retroactively paid every bit that they would have owed for prior years had Ireland followed EU rules but Apple was forced by the EU to pay the full 9% (i believe of global sales, not just EU) to Ireland for the previous year and Ireland tried really fucking hard to not take it because they wanted to keep all the tech giants HQd there for the other benefits that it brought them.

I assume most of the big companies got hit with similar taxes that ireland couldn't keep avoiding collecting but Apple was the only one that the program I was watching covered. I don't remember them ever covering what happened after but if they're paying the same/similar taxes that they would be elsewhere they probably just moved

every lib friend i have is of the 'he WILL SOON' variety. it's so fucking annoying. it's always next tuesday that the genocide will begin. and when next tuesday rolls around, i ask, and they say 'NEXT tuesday, idiot.'

I have a friend who's currently talking about how we were conquered by Russia because Trump is a Russian KGB Plant. It's kind of wild

Not sure of the answer to that but Ireland has made itself a de facto tax haven for companies like Facebook and Apple for fucking decades. I remember being a kid and pulling apart my mac and seeing a "made in ireland" label and was confused as fuck.

It's stupid because they could make tons of money off of those companies, but they don't because they're Irish (I'm not sure what the actual reason is)

How do you lose money as a tax haven?? I'm even more confused.

I see no grown men wearing Adidas sweatsuits. I feel like that'd be the first sign we were secretly conquered by Russia.

They already do. It's called the "Singularity" where AI is going to develop very suddenly and so rapidly it turns into a "God" (lol, lmao, rofl, kek) and ascends into a higher form, dragging along its worthy transhumanist/technofetishist disciples into itself. It's just the Rapture for godless nerds.

Can't wait for the universe to be ruled by a retarded god who can't get basic math questions right, makes up legal publications that don't exist, and shorts out if you ask it which race commits the most violent crime.

Total conspiracy theorist victory is where things are headed. Remember, conspiracy theory and the truth are separated by three years.

It unfortunately has some extremely horrific implications when you take the modern state of things into account, and when you take into account how many years have been spent being very friendly with the puppet masters who had a hand in JFK's death.

I wonder how it'll be spun? Kind of exciting, isn't it?

I think the incredibly pragmatic answer is:
Bibi says "lol it was previous jews running the show! not us!", and Trump concurs with "yeah it's like a different admin, like Crooked Joe!" and then we send another 3b in aid. Societal discontent with the petitioners of Herod increases by another 2%. Nothing ever happens.

I'm gonna be honest, the Trump administration is really being teases when it comes to the opening of their official Trump (tm) sanctioned LGBTQ+ death camp gulags.

As a lesbian, I had my suitcases packed; however I've yet to be grabbed from my bed in the middle of the night by armed soldiers and dragged off to an undisclosed location and forced to do hard labor lest I get shot by a firing squad.

Sort of. A Singularity is where existing models break down. A black hole is a gravitational singularity, all our existing models of physics and the like go out the window inside one.

A Technological Singularity is pretty simple at it's core. "What if we make technology that makes people smarter?" Well, all our existing predictive models go out the fucking window, because we inherently don't know what someone with a 200 IQ is going to think up, to put it simply.

Spoiler: Tech sperging

There's also the "rapture of the nerds" you speak of and is often also called "The Singularity." That's a closely related concept called the Law of Accelerating Returns, which is the more generalized version of Moore's Law. Basically, if you plot technological advancement on a graph, advancements have happened more and more frequently as time goes on. If this holds up -- big if, but it has so far -- then around 2030-2045, shit gets a bit crazy -- the chart of technological progress or computing power or whatever specific metric you're using (there are several and they all follow this trend around the same time) reaches an asymptote, or in other words, goes to infinity.

This is related to the previous thing about making smarter people (or people smarter) -- because lets say you make a smarter person, and set him on the task of making smarter people? He's inherently going to find better ways to make smarter people, so the next generation of people will be even smarter still. More importantly, the original humans and even the first generations of smarter humans rapidly get left in the dust, as they inherently can't understand the successive generations of people who are smarter than they are. (Compare it to a retard not being able to understand calculus, no matter how hard he studies.)

This is commonly associated with AI, specifically AGI. AGI (not what we have now, but a Artificial General Intelligence, i.e., an actual artificial mind) could be used to make a better AGI. Lets call it AGI2. AGI2 then would be smarter than AGI1, and you could set AGI2 to the task of making a better AGI. AGI3. AGI3 gives us AGI4, AGI4 gives us AGI5.... This process repeats, and repeats quickly, and normal human minds are left far, far behind, very quickly. They call any AGI smarter than a human could be an ASI (Artificial Super Intelligence).

This could all be bullshit. There's a lot of neo-luddites that think it is. But there's a looooot of scientists and engineers who think it is real, and it's coming very soon, and the entire tech industry seems to know something as they're throwing infinite amounts of cash into trying to spark the seed AGI to set off the process.

From the 2nd page:


TLDR: it sounds like this woman worked at a company the same time Lee Harvey Oswald worked at the same company. She was interviewed and is just saying she saw him fucking around in the garage at the time she was working there. The interview was done in 1978 but there is no claim she saw him in 1978.

You seriously need to take a deep breath and calm yourself down. You're straying deep into retard territory. The Warren Commission was named after Chief SCOTUS Justice Earl Warren. The Warren Roberts from your cite is a beat cop, presumably from New Orleans. The two have absolutely fucking nothing to do with each other.

I'm kind of disappointed the gaystopo hasn't been rallying up the exceptionally, retardedly, and openly rainbow crowd. They've been trying to manifest the homocaust for years! They clearly want it very bigly. For all that effort I'd normally say give it to them, but the only reason they want it to happen is so they can play victim and finally have something awful enough in their arsenal to warrant their neurotic faggotry.

shoot, good catch, dosent make it innocent though, just less of an overtly smoking gun
