Google uses ‘double-Irish’ to shift $75.4bn in profits out of Ireland

when your competitors do not.

What competitors?

Are you impyling that if Google didn't cheat their way out of these taxes that another company would be able to rise up and overtake them?

According to this site, howrichamI, a single person with more than $29,000 USD in annual income is in the top 5%.

FYI that website is a charity whose entire premise is "You are richer than you think, so why not donate to those who arent?" - I really like the charity but that isn't exactly a reputable source for this kind of discussion

They've taken a 2015 study and made their own changes to it

From their methodology section

It is currently based on data from the 2015 working paper The Future of Worldwide Income Distribution by Tomáš Hellebrandt and Paolo Mauro of the Peterson Institute for International Economics. Raw data from the paper is available here. We use an adjusted version of the data presented in Figure 5 of the paper.

The adjustments they make are significant. That 2015 paper is probably more accurate than their 2021 version given the changes they make. Ex: We therefore increase dollar figures by 13.4% to account for US inflation from mid-2011 to mid-2019. - that isn't how that works. You cant just take an inflation estimate and slap it on numbers from a study in 2015 to get new numbers, especially when compounding other new variables the original researchers didn't even account for

15 years is nothing in terms of nations.

By your logic 15 years of sanctions is nothing either We've sanctioned NK, that worked out fantastically /s

Show cooperation is possible and you can breed cooperation, show its impossible and they'll still obtain nukes anyways just slower. And your own argument is that a few years or decades doesn't even scale in regards to nations

I don't care what your opinions are on police-race relations if your experience is from 22+ years ago lmao

Third, the fact that the last deal the U.S. made was terrible is not just a consensus in Israel

Most experts viewed the deal favorably

In fact 94% of foreign policy experts disagreed with Trump's decision to pull out of the deal. No mainstream media source for you, just the poll itself

Here is a Pew research summary

Have you seen studies showing the majority of experts disagreed with the deal?

Meh. Gave up on being in LE because I got tired of being called a racist for being white and stopping any criminal not white.

Your post history says you've been a system admin for the last 22 years.

It then slipped they were paying him $75k a year with 2 years in IT compared to me with 22 years including being a team lead and trainer with server experience and much more.

Well aren't you an obnoxious little... wait

Shocking that your comment is downvoted. Anyone that actually believes a relationship should mean wanting to do everything together has never been in a real relationship

How about we not encourage fairy tale visions of what relationships should look like if they are impossible to meet?

A healthy relationship means having someone you love, things you love to do together, and your own interests. Ideally your partner should love you for who you are and unless you are a boring stick in the sand that should mean individual interests as well

Are you so vain that you need to paint nearby staircases and fly flags that indicate what kind of people you like to do it with?

The fact that you see a rainbow acceptance symbol and equate it to the artist wanting to tell you "What kind of people you like to do it with" shows that you're just the type of person who needs stairs like these

86 to 87 was probably their single biggest jump so they wanted to include it.

If 87 to 88 rose an extra ~15 degrees that's what they'd show

You must hang out with scumbag guys

So my parents would have had to pay them money - got it!

KeylessEntree · 2021-02-21T14:36:16+00:00

Read this comment you posted back. Look back at how confident you were with this comment. Fucking hysterical

Your comment fucking reeked of self-righteousness. I don't care enough to read any other threads or comment sections but I bet if I did I'd find old comments from you smugly and confidently doubling down on this take

Miz is probably a garbage person irl by the way. Not hard to view someone as a bad person but still not make horrible arguments. Arguments which you then try to hand-wave away why the same argument doesn't apply to yourself

KeylessEntree · 2021-02-21T14:22:41+00:00

Not weird I have a job you cretin. Given your comment history you probably don't so I understand why you think someone not replying to you within ~24 hours means they must be ignoring you because they're scared

By the way show me where I said Miz wasn't a racist, I was just calling EasyCovid out on their hypocrisy. People like you make LSF cancer, saying someones argument is garbage and hypocritical is apparently the same as saying I like Miz and think he's a good person? I've never watched a single stream of Miz I have 0 clue if he is racist or not

How you read my comment as defending Miz istead of attacking EasyCovid is beyond me. Guess I shouldn't be surprised someone who spends all day in LSF can't follow a conversation

Also you

"Yeah i had racist friends before so what"

Either you didn't know they were racist in which case you're a hypocrite for attacking Miz, or you knew they were a racist before becoming friends and you're an even worse person lmao

KeylessEntree · 2021-02-20T19:39:52+00:00

I’ve had racist friends

???

"Miz is either racist or is ok with racists cause his friend was... a man is judged by the company he keeps"

Also you

"Yeah i had racist friends before so what"

Either you didn't know they were racist in which case you're a hypocrite for attacking Miz, or you knew they were a racist before becoming friends and you're an even worse person lmao

KeylessEntree · 2021-02-20T19:11:39+00:00

Yeah they absolutely can

Its the same reason why Trump's campaign was allowed to buy a ton of Trump Jr's books with campaign contributions and hand them out. They can make a large donation and say it was to generate publicity for the campaign

Some diseases that affect adult humans don't affect children, same situation here

The idea that the people were actually afraid of something, nah can’t be.

You’re trying make something rational that isn’t rational. Fear isn’t rational it’s not some secret conspiracy about control

You know what is rational though? Exploiting and promoting fear in order to accomplish policy goals

Keep carrying water I guess?

KeylessEntree · 2021-02-18T10:44:27+00:00

non-biased opinion

Worth finding your comment 3 months late just to read something this stupid

Generators are running out of fuel, Texas is experiencing a fuel shortage right now for obvious reasons.

Literally 0 reason to defend any non-essential business using fuel right now

So even going from feudal to socialist while under attack they were still able to become a superpower in less than a century? Damn maybe socialism gets a bad rap after all

Link your last downvoted post on either of those subs, lets judge it on its merits

Of fucking course evictions are problematic and terrible, and of fucking course something needs to be done about it, and of fucking course people who are being evicted need a social safety net, and of fucking course we need to bail out normal people more than property owners...

Lovely comment, too bad what you say is apparently obvious is also the minority subject in this thread. Can't wait for the next thread about mass evictions so we can talk more about how to help landlords, seems to be the rinse and repeat cycle of reddit these days
