    I was having this discussion with a boss today.

    The way I see it is that we say to company X. Look bro you pay your taxes in this country, none of this offshore shit.

    If they say they’ll leave then let them. Are greedy capitalists really going to leave if before they were making 1B in profit and say after taxes they make 400M. Like they will take the 400M over nothing.

    He sees it as a government issue, not acknowledging that the government is in bed with the CEOs.

    Another one was me saying people shouldn’t earn thousand X their employees wages and have their staff using food banks.

    To which I was met with well they can get another job. Like sure the dude lifting boxes at Amazon is just going to become a software developer. Hey boss why don’t you hire from Amazon. I’ll train new devs up.

    I don’t know what it is with people that are older and have been successful, forgetting that for every success there are hundreds of failures. Survivorship bias.
