They are subsidiaries of US companies. You draft a list of wholly or majority US owned tech subsidiaries, and you tax them out of the wazoo, done.

I'm sure tax and trade experts can come up with better approaches.

Oh I've had this happen, and the staff were attentive and asked me if I needed them to validate my parking.

It really depends where this is coming from, if its a global policy for all stores even if they don't need it, it's a dick move. If they apply it to only the stores where parking is a big issue, I can understand.

25% on tech services is where you'll see America panic.

Isn't this why Americans are sent to prison? So they can provide free labour?

As disgusting as it is, that seems to be exactly what most of the world seems to be doing, trying to get into trump's good grace and not get fucked by the tariffs.

Well except for China, who seems to have slapped back just as hard.

This is standard practice in most supermarkets and even shopping centres that are located in higher density city centers in Europe, because otherwise nobody would be able to find a spot to park...

Oh look. Another Nintendo console that I'm NOT going to buy.

My last one was a used Wii that came hacked and I could load anything into it, and I'm perfectly happy if that's the last Nintendo console I'll ever buy.

I'm not arguing that these funds shouldn't go to Ukraine. I'm arguing that no single individual should ever be allowed to have so much money that they are able to do this. They all need to be cut down to size ASAP.

And if the EU needed any further incentive to keep rushing for renewable energy, here it is.

You really don't get it, huh?

People heard that shit last time, and they voted democrat, and Biden won. And ABSOLUTELY NOTHING changed.

At the end of the day, the rich got richer and the poor got poorer, just like they did with trump, and with Obama, and with every single president who has taken office in god knows how many decades.

And still you're here yapping "oh noes the horrors, vote Dems".

Bro, the Dems aren't LISTENING! Get a Bernie up there, or an AOC, or anyone that the people actually believe will do anything other than feeding the same interests they have been feeding.

And if you're too thick to realize that, at least you're not alone, the whole DNC is right there with you.

If YouTube shows me an ad or two once in a while, I'll suffer through it.

But flood me every 3.5 minutes of a 40m video with 2 ads, unskipable? You're damn right I'm using Firefox and an ad blocker, you stupid f...

It has always been up to the people to establish governmental structure. History provides the examples, mon frére.

Ideas transcend people.

Written language transcends you.

I see dependencyInjection clearly would have better used his time elsewhere, so let's learn from his endeavours and tag you appropriately, so we can avoid future waste.

We don't have a greedy capitalist funding an unjust war for profit as you're trying to suggest.

Yet.

Yep. A single billionaire funding a war effort is abhorrent.

This one happens to be on the right side, but there's absolutely no guarantee that his will be the case for any of these fucking psychopaths.who horde wealth. They all need to go.

A good phone.

They should have all the specs, and very competent engineers. I could see a port of Android working on an iPhone...

A nat20 isn't an automatic success on skill checks, but there shouldn't even be a roll for something that is outright impossible. Unless there's some plot reason why this otherwise mentally challenged character would suddenly become fluent and a top notch strategist out of the blue?

These are the kind of opportunities that the US were masters at exploiting to push its soft power around the globe.

The world order really is changing quickly...

Very true.

This is why EUs response to this is making me sick. Just grow a fucking pair already. They're tiptoeing around slamming back with massive tariffs, basically confirming to trump that he should push harder to get whatever he wants.

China immediately slapped back with massive tariffs, and this is how it needs to be done.
