Do it. Let's just fucking end it. I know the tech will still be around, can't put it back in the box and such. But it'd sure be nice to take some of those smug bastards down.

The Dutch and Irish levers this writer envisions sound like paper straws to me. It would be in everyone's interest to make Ireland less friendly to the tech giants. But Irish butter is not going to make up the losses if they sour the tech milk. It's also unlikely that The Netherlands would be willing to take one for the team here without a price tag. One whose amount will be shrinking fast as Chinese companies backwards engineer their chip making techniques by hiring former engineers from that company. Don't hold your breath that the EU will get the needle out. The US may have to go it alone.
