Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Summary

Donald Trump signed an executive order withdrawing the U.S. from the OECD global corporate tax deal, which set a 15% minimum tax rate on multinationals.

This move threatens Ireland, which relies heavily on corporate tax revenue from U.S. firms.

Trump also plans to retaliate against countries imposing "extraterritorial" taxes on U.S. businesses.

EU officials, including Ireland, expressed concern but emphasized their commitment to the tax reforms.

The decision risks escalating U.S.-EU tensions, with fears of trade tariffs and broader economic fallout.

Thats probably what he’s hoping will happen so all his rich friends can once again act like they live there so that’s where their minuscule tax payments will go.
