Germany should take taxes for digital services, too! They make billions and billions… they can pay taxes
How long until the world is vaccinated against these tariff related threats and just doesn’t care anymore?
There are other countries, other continents, other markets, other currencies… Just ignore that old demented guy.
The only solution is to aggressively denazify, by aggressively replacing US tech with OSS and home grown vendors.
Canada got rid of our digital services tax and it didn’t help. Don’t bother getting rid of anything Trump wants gone because it is just what a bunch of billionaires are telling him to do.
Oddly billionaires probably told Mark Carney the same thing so he was happy to be rid of this DST.
We have a saying in Dutch: “If you give him a finger, he will take your whole hand.”
Appeasing Trump doesn’t work, because he will just demand more.Brookfield Asset Management (BAM) is a major global investor in digital infrastructure and services, with over $100 billion invested in AI-related infrastructure, digital connectivity, and clean energy to support it. Their holdings focus on the essential physical and digital “backbone” required for data storage, transmission, and AI computing.
Lemmy really needs some critical thinking about Mark Carney. This is not a statesman.
The illegal kind he is not allowed to impose?
Do business in a country, you follow their laws.
Fuck off America.
He still does not recognize how laughable his “tariffs, tariffs” shouting is?
Do it. FAFO
Basically he’ll give corporations a reason to jack prices, the take the windfall when it’s struck down…again
Has anyone ever asked him “and how does that affect the UK?”
I’m the Trump-whisperer: Here’s the translation
“Might” = “Most definitely will”
“if” = “Regardless of whether or not”
Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.
I don’t think so. The “regardless whether or not” part is true, but “might” is usually “if it’s actually possible, I don’t forget about it and change my opinion an even number of times”.
Wouldn’t bet on it. He lies so much that anything he says is basically meaningless at this point. It’s certainly not worth any government making any decisions based on words like this anymore.
This guy hasn’t done one thing successfully in his entire adult life without ripping someone off
Isn’t he only allowed to leverage emergency tarrifs for like 60 days or something right now?
When has that orange muppet last given a single shit about whether he was allowed to do something?
When Epstein told him so (and waved the tapes at him).
TACO at it again
