Yes, and that's not even under the table.

Yup. Companies avoid paying taxes in one country by getting their divisions in other, lower tax countries to charge the one in the high tax country so much for intellectual property and branding etc that they make a loss in the high tax country, which in some countries entitles them to a tax rebate. It's insane.

Don't do this, EU. You're better than this.

Trump is gonna be so butthurt that after he told Canadians to elect PeePee who was gonna make Canada the 51st state, Canadians took away his seat. Nope nope nope.

I score zero for reading comprehension!

This makes no sense. Changing the number on the clocks isn't what makes you change your sleep/wake cycle AT ALL. It's changing when the working day starts that does that.

Yeah, that _is_ silly. If you're going to be that radical, you may as well go decimal at the same time. 10 hours, 100 minutes, 100 seconds. Ignore when the sun rises. Have 400 days in a year, ignore when the seasons come. I bet you my best docker container people hate and ignore the broken system that bears no relationship to their reality.

And Russia already stopped bombing Ukrainian power plants because the only ones left are nuclear and even Putin is hesitant about causing Chernobyl 2.0. So the ceasefire wouldn't affect Russian activities in any way whatsoever.

So this is some seriously weak negotiating from Diaper Don.

You're correct, this course of action wouldn't harm Elon Musk at all.

But I think you're mistaking the user you're talking to for something other than a right wing troll trying to sound like they care about poor people.

They work by giving all the money to Elon Musk, who needs it less than anyone on the planet except Jeff Besos.

I don't think that's how most car showrooms work, let alone Tesla showrooms.

You're so full of shit.

The fascists winning doesn't trouble you at all, though, which is weird for a leftist, no? I smell republicans in disguise.

Your greater evil rhetoric puts the actual fascists in charge of America. Did you read project 2025 yet? Or even a summary?

I agree that you didn't admit it.

Like I said, you're an accelerationist who wants it to get as bad as possible as far as possible because you think revolution will come sooner that way, and you don't care how bad the world gets in the meanwhile.

Well, unlike you, I can tell the difference between Hitler and the democratic party. You're so full of false equivalence.

If they move left, you'll still not vote for them because you're too pure to compromise and you will forever throw your supposedly leftist ideals on the dustbin of throwing what tiny tiny tiny power you have away and convincing anyone that shares your views to do the same.

They move right when they lose. So that they can win again.

Well, you go ahead and continue to push the democrats right then. I can't convince you. The outcome of the election will definitely convince the democrats. And I can tell you they will listen to the republican voters before they log on to lemmy.ml because there's so many more of them and they actually vote in a way that affects the outcome.
