That’s exactly want this law is stopping. Companies will always try to reduce their tax burden which is why this initiative, a tax floor, is global. The law is an effective way of increasing the minimum tax - what you said doesn’t really apply.

Global tax is complicated. A reprisal tariff regime would be way way way more complicated. The US doesn’t want to be in a position where it’s levying 50% tariffs on Guinness because Ireland’s corporate tax rate is 12.5%. How do you know that tariff is fair and would the WTO even recognize uneven tax rates as a sanctionable offense?

This is a carrot vs stick approach.

It’s embarrassing you’re an accountant and yet indulge in conspiratorial thinking. I’ve worked in and audited small, medium and large companies. Public companies have the strictest controls around personal spending of company resources. All public companies have to comply with SOX. I’ve never seen a private company voluntarily comply with that standard.

The fact that it kills so many is a marketing tool. It’s viewed as the “strongest” high and the people who die just “didn’t know their limit” unlike the user.

Death penalty litigation is always more expensive than just jail.

Even if it’s nationalized we still want energy generation as low cost as possible so we can use the national budget for other things.

It’s simply solved by the fact that I, as a human driver, can recognize now when a robo-taxi is driving and change my expectations of the car’s behavior. Right now it’s clearly evident what an autonomous car looks like and a reasonable person will have the expectation that they follow the letter of the law.

I interact with these vehicles on a daily basis in San Francisco and it would be weird if they weren’t driving perfectly.

Like any subject matter that is complex it requires someone to have specialized training to understand and navigate. We all have a working understanding of the legal system, but sometimes we need expert opinion. Few people are willing/able to master the subject matter so supply relative to demand is low.

The legal system is complex because our world is complex. We are constantly expanding human endeavors (Space law wasn’t an issue until Sputnik) and changing current laws (Marijuana laws have changed in many states). It’s not just a matter of learning the law once - it is constantly changing and requires an expert to be always up-to-date.

You’re paying $.25 for the piece of paper and $199.75 for the lawyer’s knowledge of how to file it.

It’s pretty funny- worth seeing. Definitely amps up the ridiculousness in a way that I don’t remember Mean Girls being, but it’s in the same ballpark. Honestly maybe closer to Superbad.

“Rather than teasing apart who, what, or when is to blame, this report shows that the post-9/11 wars are implicated in many kinds of deaths, making clear that the impacts of war’s ongoing violence are so vast and complex that they are unquantifiable.”

Did this writer or anyone in this thread actually read the paper?

Downfall of the West relative to who? The whole world is impacted by climate change and the West is best positioned to manage its effects.

I think there is going to be a greater push for KYC for social media as we are going to soon be inundated with comments and online activity by bots that is indistinguishable from humans and hyper taylored to its audience. All the stuff Russia pulled with election interference is going to be child’s play.

There is also going to be an explosion of content. The same recipe page that took a human a day or two to create will be made in a second. Billions of recipe pages, billions of sports blogs, billions of comments…

It means it’s not as simple as saying 1950 home = 2023 home and therefore any differences in price are due to inflation.

This is a bad take. Most Republicans are in ‘safe’ districts where their only challenge is from the right. Being pro-abortion is a surefire way to lose a Republican primary.
