Biodegradable, eventually. Views my personal own. Toot != endorsement.

    @Nangijala hard agree. Same in Holland, low corporate taxes, it’s the Delaware of Europe. Royal Dutch Shell paying 1% more could probably get everyone free education, no more study loans etc. Another 1% could give them all free and 100% funded basic health care insurance, no more “private contributions”.

    Re: Denmark and Maersk etc, the deal is usually “look we don’t want to pay more than 4%, otherwise we’ll move to Poland and we’ll take all the jobs with us”, and the Danish govt gives in. BUT - Maersk is huge, billions of dollars. Lots of boats, lots of workers. But here’s the question - how many Danes work for Maersk? The vast majority are sailors from Russia, Phillipines, China, India, etc. ? Would anything change for them if Maersk would exit to say Warsaw, and pay their 4% tax there? No. How many Danes? Only a small percentage of Maersk staff. So why not say to Maersk: look, 30% tax like everyone else or just go fuck off. Take the risk. It’s a lot smaller than you think.
