Why should we do that when other countries with trade deals do not?

Why should I pay more for the golf course than the club members when I could just play golf on the PlayStation? Right, I don’t have to. It’s my decision.

Love it. Less advertisers means it's cheaper for me to advertise, means bigger margins ????☺️

Only if you buy the same targeting I assume.

Be very interested to know if this new company is paying more or hiring the same people for less

1. They’re Chinese. Chinese don’t pay more. Chinese pay less. 
 

2. The salaries in automotive manufacturing are pretty aligned across the manufacturers. 
 

3. Given Covid, I doubt there’s a shortage of skilled workers. Could as well be the other way round. Not sure when they will start hiring though. Haven’t seen the timeline. 
 

Expect they will pay the same or less.

"according to reports from the New York Times and the Associated Press" doesn't qualify as sufficient evidence. 

It does. It just doesn’t for you. And if you’re expecting that any of those media outlets exposes their sources, potentially putting them at risk, for some nutjobs who live in a video game fantasy world of alternative facts and conspiracy theories, then it’s just not worth it. We can’t entertain every nutjob who believes the moon doesn’t exist until he has personally travelled there. We need to accept that people like them exist and that we cannot help them.

There is nothing wrong or illegal with tax avoidance , are you getting tax avoidance mixed up with tax evasion ?

I dont expect anyone to pay more tax than they are legally required to do so .

 

How would you call the following: 

Company A has to pay taxes of X in its current situation S. It hires advisor A to find a way to reduce the tax exposure.

A tells C that it could fabricate a new situation S2, by implementing certain measures M, under which it would qualify for certain exemptions, bringing down X to 0. A explains that this would not be tax evasion if C implemented M because it was genuinely pursuing S2 for commercial reasons. It would only be tax evasion if C pursued S2 in order to reduce its tax exposure. Consequently, A advices to not put this on paper, because such paper trail could put both A and C at risk of being accused of tax evasion if the tax authorities investigate and find out that C fabricated S2 to reduce its tax exposure. 
 

The management of C thanks A and decides that it always wanted to do S2. C implements the recommended measures M to create S2. Under S2, C is legally not required to pay certain taxes anymore. When the tax authorities check, they do not find any indications that M was not done because of genuine commercial interest. It helps that C can perfectly lay out the commercial story that was carefully crafted together with A (who coaches the management of C before their meetings with the tax authorities). 

The original tax exposure of X was so high that C easily pays A’s handsome fees and the measures M from the amount saved.

Well, Sleepy would need a 4 hour nanna nap each day.

I guess that would still give him plenty more hours that he’s not hiding in his bunker and raging on Twitter like a teenager.

Brexit is not Brino. HTH

And since it’s not on the ballot paper, I guess it’s up to you to decide... ????

You don't know what we are getting yet, nor does the EU. You have added the word "sweet Brexit" but as you well know, we were only promised Brexit.

This is what we voted for, no mention of sweet brexit or any other configurations the remainers wish to add on.

Then no complaining about BRINO anymore should it happen, because as you said: you only voted for Brexit, no mention of sweet brexit or any other configurations the Brexiteers wish to add on ???? 

This must be very difficult for our Fox watching trailer park boys that a school they would never make it into is changing its name. 

It will be very difficult to live on with my life knowing that the cartoon character that I last watched 20 years ago is not spoken by the person that I didn’t even know 20 years ago anymore.

Really?  Can you elaborate as to why white people don't have reason to extol WLM.

Because they are not the object of racism. They’re often the subject.

Many have high level degrees they can't gain suitable positions with, and thus have been stuck working retail. (...) Certainly, if you're Chinese or Indian coming in on an H-1B, accepting an underpaid position, becoming one of their slaves.

Maybe their degrees (and other track record) aren’t that “high level” when the best companies in the country need to hire people from abroad? And you definitely haven’t worked at any of the places you’re ranting about if you consider the people working there  “underpaid” and “slaves”.
