I hate streaming services and the French public but I also hate taxes and the French government so I don't know how I should feel about this international news imc

They should make a law where they decide what to not tax

That might be easier for governments at this point kek

Unpopular opinion for conzoomers but they could ban all of that imho.
There is little beneficial content on these platforms. I have had access to some of these platforms, and it's just slop, there isn't even a single nature documentary on some of those. Might as well watch YouTube.

>france already in flames

>>225915869
this seems like a protectionist measure or an anti monopoly measure rather than a tax farming one
still retarded

>>225916472
netflix produced dark, cyberpunk s1&s2
those alone are more kino that most everything else made in the last 10 years
>>225916545
protectionism generally implies you have a competing product
the only tech company of any note in france/EU is mistral and they're competiting with china for local models, not frontier LLMs
unless you count state owned media streaming i do not believe there is any competitor to netflix, and there's certianly no competitor to google/FAGMANs

>>225915869
Anything but delete useless government agencies

Yeah I love Spiderman too, how about we got get a Mcdoublekingbigmäc with cheese and talk about the new magic the gathering card set?

I hope they vote for Melenchon and go full commie and ruin the country completely. I am sick and tired of them pretending to be a functioning country.

No, we will vote Marine Le Pen, go full Israel and start bombing the banlieues

I never understood why Americans would frantically lash out against corporate taxes enacted on their transnational Globohomo lgbt crap companies like Netflix and Google and shit.

>>225917261
nobodys lashing out, it's just funny that it's always the yuro response to american tech companies

>>225917302
Well duh. What other response do you think we should have? Bring out fucking guiliotines?

Then in French system, this law needs to be checked by the Senate and if the Senate can say no, this law won't exist.

quite literally we dont have the money for that
whenever some company is inventing and building something new in the eu, some american investment fund will buy it with their quitrillion of dollars

What exactly are so great about making tech billionaires trillionaires? Enjoying those data centres driving electricity prices up? Or maybe it’s all the job creation, right? Like importing a billion jeets on H1B while forcing blue collar workers to live in a gig economy where they can’t even take a piss break.

Tax cuts for billionaires doesn’t actually produce any real value. Muh green arrows going up isn’t real money.

the merchant fears the aristocrat, he kvetches and kvetches yet in the end he must surrender his shekels

>>225917716
>Like importing a billion jeets on H1B while forcing blue collar workers to live in a gig economy
NTA but people are so uneducated on this. the H1B jeets get paid just as much as us. it's not like they're importing them to take jobs away and pay them lower; it's to fill a lack of skilled workers

>>225917792
SAAAAAR

>>225917792
You know what also fills a lack of skilled workers, my American friend? Giving people education and training. But I guess that’s bad because then you must demand that billionaires pay their due in taxes which is communism o algo.

>>225917816
I'm chicanx. I work with lots of em and they're great people

>>225917863
>>225917792
H1B workers simply do not earn as much as native workers. H1B is actually a shitty visa program to import skilled workers. There are multiple other visa programs American companies use if they really need someone. Ffs H1B is awarded literally lottery style.

>>225917857
tbf america has largest and most educated worker pool in the world, it simply amazes me that its still not enough for their gigantic economy, but i question if it will persists after the world moves on from the petrodollar

>>225917933

Green line must go up. Eternal growth.

>>225917857
we already have public education, you stupid snow nigger. we spend nearly as much as your country
>>225917907
I've worked at FAANG and they simply do not get paid less. Also, you do realize many of these billionaires do not just have liquid cash in the billions, right? Most of their net worth is tied up in valuation of the companies and stocks they own. Why should the government essentially take a share of, say, Netflix's valuation? Think one level deeper and understand this is not the same as liquid cash

>>225915869
Did you know that some of the most-watched TV shows and movies globally are South Korean, yet China has been streaming all of this content illegally. China fails to uphold even the most basic standards. China will remain a part of the Third World forever.

>>225918025
my father watches a lot of korean shows, i hope your people will keep producing content

>>225917989
> and they simply do not get paid less
H1B visa workers do get paid less though bevause their residency is much more tied to their employment and can’t be as easily transferred to another company as other visa programmes can. If you want to change job as a H1B visajeet you basically have to go back home and the new company has to reapply. And since that visa is awarded lottery style almost no people do this b
> these billionaires do not just have liquid cash
See my previous point. You’ve built your entire economy on fake values that will never be realised and requires eternal growth.

Wrong

Speaking of FAANG there’s a reason why the Microsoft layoffs/exit offer only applies to Americans and Canadians. They know that only high earners will take it.

Visa jeets won’t take it because they will lose their visa: https://m.economictimes.com/news/international/us/microsoft-buyout-offer-will-taking-the-exit-package-mean-h-1b-visa-workers-may-have-to-leave-the-country/amp_articleshow/135241014.cms

is this just a way to ban the big american companies?

>>225916545
It's absolutely a tax farming one, they're desperate for money

Euros can't exploit poor brown countries anymore so now they resort to taxing everyone.

>>225919500
Which brown countries did Norway, Switzerland and Luxembourg exploit and how?

Probably won't pass through the senate since this goes against Macron's push towards building big data centers
I can see the logic behind the law though, they want to tap on that ludicrous gafam cash flow but this is just gonna result in some insane price hikes on anything digital. Dumb and shortsighted, so typical PS

>>225916472
This, but ban youtube too. It's just slop how.

>>225917261
Get It through your thick euroskulls: precedent.
My opinions on things are based around their precedent, their fairness, their honesty, not my personal or class gain. No amount of posting "vote your interests," or "leave the multimillionaire corporation alone" or "class traitor" or "temporarily embarrassed millionaires" will ever get me to stop being fair and honest and precedent based because when it comes right down to it I am not a capitalist like Europeans are. (Marxism is just the satanism of capitalism, existing in the same insane and crude envy and greed spectrum, obsessed with money over human decency)

>>225917716
Along these same lines I already discussed, "tax cuts for billionaires" is dishonest phrasing. The US is still under """temporary wartime""" levels of """progressive taxation""" for companies is why loopholes will never be outright closed and why those with the know-how or connections to ruthlessly exploit them took over the US markets to the extent they did. The feds killed free trade and their crony capitalists benefit from the exceptions, and Europeans think more regulation and taxation to crush all new competition is the answer.
Additionally you're still doing that "capitalist" thing you always accuse everyone else of doing. You don't care what policy is honest or fair, you just think "well how do I/my class get a pound of flesh today regardless of the chilling effect for future generations". It's the boomer/zoomer/thirdworlder insecure narcissism time does not exist reaper bullshit. You are completely defined by muh class war and as such anyone who isn't doesn't register. I must be a thrall of muh corporations, they're so rich and powerful, I couldn't possibly treat them with the same detached neutrality and non violence they treat me with, somehow I must have emotional relationship with them like you do because you and their marketing teams both want me to, lol.
Like I said, Europeans are capitalists, just emo/satanists of capitalists, and I never will be, instead I want a principled legal society.

The tax is on individual consumption

>>225917261
This is a tax on all data consumption retard, not just from an American company

>>225917857
>You know what also fills a lack of skilled workers, my American friend? Giving people education and training.

Doesn't matter how much training you give someone if they are not suited for the work. You cannot train Cletus and Tyrone to be skilled programmers or engineers. They are barely competent to work at a fast food job.

>>225920674
>words words words
Eat shit and die, communist.

>>225921508
Pretty sure if you can train Shawarmajesh you can actually train Cletus

>>225920436
>precedent
Tell me, American, what precedent is there for filthy rich fucks to import literal third worlders and drive wages down just so they can scrape a little more from their margins?

>>225917239
>start bombing the banlieues
Immensely delusional
We will get Meloni 2 aka more migrants and browns but make them poorer with lower QoL as that will surely solve the violence problem

>>225921943
>Pretty sure if you can train Shawarmajesh you can actually train Cletus

We import the Patels and Chings who were smart and determined enough to either get a work visa or a student visa. The lazy retards can stay back in India or China. We also take the not too lazy retards and turn them into grunts for the military.

Tell me, Eurotroon, what precedent is there for you to decide who another country's companies MUST hire, you dumb retard hypocrite fascist animal?

>>225922724
Nice goal post shifting, but reminder that we're actually talking about taxes here. And you are fuming that an american company has to pay its fair share of taxes when it operates on European soil.

>>225922775
The individual consumer is who has to pay the consumption tax

>>225922889
Then why are you mad at all? Why does an American care that an European has to pay more for Netflix because Netflix is taxed more in Europe? Hypocrite are you

Won't they just find ways to pass the cost onto the consumer and use increasingly predatory dark patterns to influence consumer decisions?

>>225922951
I'm sure they will, but American streaming services raising prices only incentivizes European streaming services.

we will solve this by inventing yet another javascript framework

>>225917716
>Muh green arrows going up isn’t real money.
This cope is why Eurotards don't have the massive private capital needed to keep frontier tech. It's also a hypocritical cope because what wealth Europe does enjoy is thanks to capital. They would be completely fucked without it, since China wrecked Euros in manufacturing. All that left is very specialized.
