   How much tax does Big Tech avoid paying?

   the Fair Tax Foundation has looked at average tax rates paid by US corporations & the effective tax rates paid the 'Silicon Six' & has concluded they've paid around $278bn less than they should have over the last decade.

   So if you wondered how the big tech moguls become so rich, the answer in part is we've been subsidising them....

   [I would be very surprised if the European tax situation varies much from the US]

   The absolute completist in me wants to preserve each variation, which is theoretically possible but realistically not worth the work. And many of the oldest talks really have aged poorly — kludgy thrown-together slides with content that's focused on technical challenges that haven't existed for a decade.

   So, interesting to note they happened, but not terribly useful. Choices, choices.

   @ryanhoulihan Yeah, I getcha. I've been around since the year of the force, and I’m frightened for my family's safety going forward. I'm of Jewish descent, despite not looking like it or ever practicing. I have never seen more anger at anyone even remotely connected with the Jewish faith more than I have in the last decade.

   So, if this is what I'm seeing, what are those in even more marginalized groups facing? Far worse, I see.

   We might need our own Battle of Cable Street in the U.S.

   The FSF and free software movement have failed because they prioritized the hero worship of a single individual over the actual furthering of their ideology. They have had nothing new or useful to contribute to the public conversation in over a decade.

   So I can't believe people are still parroting "open source is about efficiency, free software is about ethics" or similar. Free software is about the ethics of one man, it's not a movement. They have spent all their energy alienating new blood.
