Man the whole world needs to stand up to Trump and US.
This. Especially reporters. They should all call out lies and abuse without hesitation. Access to the Whitehouse press office isn’t worth it. Don’t even cover that shit. Make Trump have to step outside if he wants an audience.
It’s who is on the board of the non-profits and who owns the for-profits that are making these decisions. I blame them and the headline writers (which is probably them too).
Reporters are disporoportionaly from wealthy families. Poor people are less able to work unpaid internships for 3-4 years to get their foot in the door. They aren’t the wealthy members of their families but they usually from well off backgrounds.
There are exceptions but most of them have some class bias.
The problem is is persons the reporters work for. Media moguls
Be nice if Americans had their shit together enough that the rest of the world didn’t have to deal with this in the first place. But no, the electorate of the most powerful country on earth are a bunch of squealing idiot children, and now that’s everyone else’s problem to fix.
It’s crazy how many people try to be smug about this.
All you’re doing is telling everyone it took shit this blatant and obvious for you to notice if you think this is a new problem.
I understand being ignorant of another country’s system of government, but how do you not know all the fucked up shit that’s been happening before this to think it’s new?
The “big 3” have been doing this shit for centuries, and before that it was just different countries.
Shuffling the countries around like you want to won’t solve shit. It just perpetuates the system itself…
Have you put any thought into this?
They didn’t say it was new. They said that now it’s so bad it’s everyone’s problem to deal with.
American here: please do, we need the help. Feels like anyone or anything with the clout and ability to do such things has already been purchased by the oligarchy. People are protesting, but there is only so much they can do when they also can’t afford to live day to day.
It’s because protesting is useless.
Nothing changes until the billionaires and oligarchy fear for their life. It sucks, but it’s true.
Feels a bit like we’re getting the opposite.
So they capitulated to the very worst offenders.
The way I’ve heard these minimum tax agreements described usually is where all the signatories agree to collect the same minimum corporate tax rate. The article says 15%. The US already has a 21% corp tax rate, setting aside tax incentives.
So what does it mean in this case to say that US corps are exempt? Does this mean that a US corp homed in the Caymans will pay a different rate than a French company in the Caymans? Or that the US is refusing to collect a minimum 15% after tax incentives?
I’m sure it’s spelled out in the text of the treaty, but maybe someone here has already done the digging.
It’s more about how US based companies like Google report their taxes in Ireland to avoid that local 21%. This was supposed to end the Caymans type loopholes. But now it’s worthless
Yeah we need more info on such specs.
Scott Bessent looks like he’s trying to do a Will Farrel impression of himself.
This is why labour organizing in the US is so important. “Tax” US multinationals by getting much higher wages.
Starting to look like the whole world wants to be complicit.
This is so disappointing. This seemed like such a solid step in the right direction
Taxes for thee and not for me!
The fuck they are. Everybody has to pay takes. I hope their offices around the world get closed down or investigated very soon.
This is some bullshit. Should just stop buying anything from US companies.
I was thinking we could throw all the CEOS into Lake Michigan with the Turd Reich and Shitler
2021? Time for a Truthwarp!
Shocking.
