Think about it. Why does Meta spend the money on that HQ in Ireland? Surely we all know it’s not them trying to make a country better by investing in it because they are such kind souls, right? So, yeah Ireland benefits from it, and that’s a good thing, but they also have that leverage to say ‘thanks for the money, and you can keep profiting here, as long as you’re not breaking any of our laws’. I don’t know, it’s way more complicated than that, but politicians need tk grow some balls.
