    Jesus Fucking Christ, this fucking company can pay 13 billion and it still will not do a dent on their TRILLION dollars value. Imagine all that society could benefit if those fucking assholes just paid their share, instead of us having to hear how green and socially conscious these bastards are.

    Tech companies are the most disgusting corporations in their sheer greed, right up there with oil corps.

        Please, anyone who reads this, stop posting links to the mobile version of Wikipedia. It doesn’t switch automatically on PC, and I see it happen all the time. Just take the half a second to remove the “.m” from the beginning of the link, save everyone else from the pain of having to be surprised by it and taking the time to do it themselves.

        95% of corporations and 100% of multinationals are greedy parasites who only virtue signal when it’s profitable (mainstream) to do so.

        Those that had any real virtue have been destroyed or acquired by the parasites.

      13bn dollars in missed taxes while already abusing a tax heaven.

      When our stupid politicians will grow some balls (metaphorically, and independent of their gender-balanced commission/parliament), and we’ll actually introduce a proper minimum corporate tax for the entire EU market, it will be 50bn. At least.

      Combine this from all the big tech companies that are dodging our taxes, and we could quadruple our defense budget, double our education and healthcare spendings, and still supply every citizen with a bottle of champagne to celebrate.
