They should really tune down the tax breaks too though. They're basically screwing the rest of Europe by allowing these companies to avoid taxes in the whole EU. Just for a few measly jobs (even Apple only has a few thousand employees in return for literally billions of revenue going through the country). https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2020/sep/25/european-...

That money could really have been put to good use in the EU. The EU should present a more united front here IMO instead of allowing companies to cherry pick countries and make them compete against each other for the lowest tax rates.

Cory Doctorow had a good article about it a few days ago: https://pluralistic.net/2023/05/15/finnegans-snooze/#dirty-o...
