How do they stop actions of a company without physical pretense in the country? Remember the whole point of the article (at least according to the summary) is that they want to impose corporate tax on digital companies. So, by definition, this means that they are looking to tax even the companies with no physical footprint.
"traitor" is what the criminalcrats invented to cover up the fact that the Democratic Party is a pro-crime criminal organization. Their platform can be summed up in 1 sentence: let us and others get away with crimes.
So if I sell stuff to buyers in SK on my own website hosted in California, I have to pay corp income tax to the US, California and SK? Even if I ship it via UPS? Doesn't UPS already pay for the delivery?
Ok, let's assume there is a payment processor in SK, and they do pay corp income tax on the profit they make from administering currency conversions and forwarding customer info to me and the currency (after it's been converted into dollars), it's still the case that every action I take ends at the physical border of the US. So why would I bother to even figure out what SK thinks on this topic?
But let's talk about how Google actually makes its money. Most of it comes from advertising. If a Korean client advertises through Google and gets its payments processed in a 3rd country, what's the profit made by Google in Korea? If they don't have physical presence, who is responsible for the tax? The whole point of taxing only corps which have physical presence is that the government can show up on your door step and demand that you buy a license to operate a business, have proper books, etc.
But if Korea's government has no doorstep to come to, where does their enforcement authority come from?
every time a ground courier delivers a Google-branded device,
Doesn't Google pay the courier? So the courier already paid for the cost of the roads. Or the couriers delivering Google products somehow immune from gasoline taxes, sales taxes on their equipment, etc.? How are you making the leap from "Google pays someone for something" to "Google should pay more than others who pay for the same thing"?
Republicans like to talk about how you should live your life. They don't do much to change despite being in power. Democrats want to actually control how you live your life -- not just talk about it. Oh, and telling people who to each their sandwich is "an opportunity"? Please, accept my heartfelt FUCK YOU.
They don't mind destroying the city. There are tons of new shopping malls. They just don't want to build new housing because the people who have a right to vote in the city are not the tech workers. The landlords vote to prevent housing construction to keep the rents of their housing properties as high as possible. The tech workers overwhelmingly don't vote. The "we don't want to change the city" line is a facade. If it were true, all the new shopping malls wouldn't exist.
I am just going to guess that they are Democrats. Because looking for new ways to restrict personal freedom and to treat adults like their own social experiment toys is what this party has become.
The fact that detecting bots would require ending anonymity is not a bug of the system. It's the feature they want. You can't demonize anonymous critics. Just so we are clear: this Democrats circling proposals to dox all users. And, no, this is NOT a hyperbole. It's what they have been accused of for a while now. When they come for you, there will be no one left to speak up.
Seriously, this "has been linked" nonsense has to end. Largest investment banks are "linked" to the SEC because the professionals who understand banking well-enough to regulate banks have a very high chance of having worked for some of the banks. The mathematicians and other analysts who work for data analysis companies do change jobs. And this produces links between different data analytics firms.
It doesn't matter that you don't like what one of them has done. All firms within all professions, which require narrow expertise, are linked because people switch jobs.
What's the alternative? Top experts at the top firms becoming unemployable? Shall we just revert to cast system? How would news organizations like it if it was done to them? They are doing it to everyone else.
Let's give it a try. CNN, which is linked to Fox News, has reported that blah, blah, blah.
Oh, ffs. Hillary! Shut up already! You got your way. Everyone already forgot about the Russian bribes you took. Go hide somewhere where no one can find you and stop posting on slashdot.
You mean the drug prescribed for Attention Deficit Disorder treated attention deficit, but wasn't helpful in treating cognitive deficit? And that's why it doesn't do what people think it does? Umm... what?
No, no. "Screw the customer" means give a customer poor service. Their business model was bank fraud. How they stayed in business and how no one went to jail for FREAKING BANK FRAUD is beyond me. If you or I open a bank account in some other person's name to benefit us financially, we'd go to jail for bank fraud. But that's exactly what the middle management there did. The fact that they are walking free is a testament to how good their lawyers are.

BTW, the whole absurdity of what you are saying is best exposed by how ridiculous what you say happens to be. It's lunacy.

Let me try to take this seriously.

Domestic spying is now "Benign Information Gathering"
No, it's worse. Undesirable speech is now "Russian trolls attacking our democracy."

Ok, I'll bite. How does Google use Korea's roads?
Laugh all you want. Democrats are just that kind of party.

Right. Except as soon as you quit your job because your firm is doing something sleazy, you'll become unemployable (according to your own standard).
**not** called a summary... damn it slashdot... the only social platform without an edit feature.
No, it's called a summary. It's called a "mischaracterization".

You sound just like the kind of person who doesn't have critics that don't understand you. People who don't like you are the ones who know you well.
Where do you see it? Looking over your shoulder, AC?
So do leftist delusions. How can you tell which is which?
Oh, ffs. Hillary! Shut up already! You got your way. Everyone already forgot about the Russian bribes you took. Go hide somewhere where no one can find you and stop posting on slashdot.
riiight... walk it off... does that work on heart attacks and cancers, too?
You mean the drug prescribed for Attention Deficit Disorder treated attention deficit, but wasn't helpful in treating cognitive deficit? And that's why it doesn't do what people think it does? Umm... what?
Because non-Christians were forbidden to own any land. And christians were forbidden to charge interest. So Jews had a natural niche.
It's a little harder to define usury when money is constantly losing value. Usury is more straight-forward when money is a store of value.
