I'm so ready to tax all these fuckers and then shop at TJ's

Ditto.

I am so frustrated no one seems to give a shit about these tax-dodging companies. Especially fucking Apple, which has tens of billions of dollars of cash on hand and still tries to weasel out of paying anything to the people of the countries it operates in.

It boggles my mind that cracking down on tax avoiders isn't a non-partisan no-brainer. Literally every single one of us - regardless of our political leanings - would benefit from our respective country's governments cracking down on this. You would think any political party would be overjoyed to get a big bump of tax revenue at the expense of losing no voters whatsoever. But still, nothing happens. It's utterly fucking shameful how little movement governments are making on this, and it's sad to see so few of their constituents holding their feet to the fire.

Although I suppose it's not that surprising, I suppose, when one considers that people also don't seem to care much that companies like Google, Apple, Facebook and others are literally spying on them and collecting huge amounts of data on them.

Looks like I'll be doing some shopping at TJ Maxx. And continuing to not buy anything related to Apple.

The details in that second article are so disgusting.
