% of profits made in the state off standard pricing, tax the company. The company can choose to not sell their products in the state. If Google/Apple/whomever decides they don't want their products used in the state and lose 40m customers, that's their choice.
Go one further. If a company doesn't want to make it's product available in an area, that area has full access to all of its intellectual property and anyone can duplicate their work and profit off of it.
And while your at it have a mandatory hazard pay for employees that have to deal with customers to act like assholes. If acting like an ass to people doesn't have any penalties people will always feel like they are entitled to act like such, and slowly drive people to suicide. If the company has to pay the hazard pay, they'll actually figure out policies to ensure they treat others how they want to be treated, or it'll be cheaper to tell that customer to bugger off.
Acting like an ass shouldn't ever get you anywhere but asked to leave
Earthwide 😏
As long as we're wishing for shit that will never happen, I have some ideas on how to use a time machine
“Leave” as in claiming their primary residence is in Florida while spending all of their time in California.
Puerto Rico does it right. In order to claim primary residence there you have to physically be there for something like 180 days of the year without any travel. States need to do that too.
180 uninterrupted days or 180 total? I think my state does 181 total
I live in a regional hub in a red area. All the people who live in the surrounding counties split their time between shitting on the "big city" and spending all their time here without paying any taxes
i doubt he wants to be associated with florida right now, considering what happened to his sidepiece last year, involving windows. thiel is a creature of habit, he hates anything news that unravel his behaviour.
Taxes don't have to care where you live. If done properly, all that matters is where the assets are. You want to do more than $1B(or whatever number makes sense) of buisness in California? You need to create a California based subsidiary to handle it all. And share holders of that buisness pay tax on the value of those shares. Then it doesn't matter where Alphabet or Google or their CEOs are located.
They won’t leave. They’re just trying to scare idiots into voting for policies that only benefit the rich and their ilk.
Exactly they won’t move, this is like when people threaten to move if something happens, and when it does happens, nothing.
No, didn't you hear, everyone with more than $100 in savings fled New York now that Mamdani is the Supreme Leader there
they tried this with zohran in nyc, none left. RICH people wont live in red hellholes like kentucy, nebraska or alabama.
kentucky and nebraska and alabama are incredibly different from each other, if you've ever been to those places as a lefty
in fact, red ky and blue maine are more similar than ky and nebraska
Threatening people with a good time? A bold strategy Cotton!
This How Money Works video talks about these hollow threats. In short, they probably would leave anyway.
They're lying. They won't go. They're so rich that they don't have to worry about this kinda money. That's the whole point of being rich, after all.
Sure, go to Texas. See how they like people moving from California.
And remember: Thiel is gay. So I hope he gets the maximum dose of homophobia and hostility from ignorant, prejudicial Texan chuds, too.
He's also ~~obsessed with~~ the AntiChrist, which is a somewhat controversial identity status amongst Evangelical and Baptist Christians.
He's certainly the antithesis of Christ, along with Musk and Trump.
thiel himself is pretty homophobic as well, he thinks he protected if he is homophobic. Even to the point his model bf voice concerned, but died last year after "falling out a tall story apartment complex"
thiel dint want to be in FLORIDA, after his SIDEPIECE was defenestrated last year.
Go. Please go. They say this all the time, I really wish they would.
The ultra wealthy said the same thing about New York City, they aren't going anywhere.
Keep those evil fuckers running!
How about taxing billionaires in all 50 states, a federal billionaire tax and all other countries impose a billionaire tax. Make them have nowhere to go.
Bet they don't.
we should just confiscate their ill-gotten gains, afterward they can move around wherever they'd like!
BYE! I'd say "don't let the door hit you in the ass" but that's unlikely as you're all ass.
We should hold a farewell party and hold them to it
Good fuck em.
Financial obesity is an existential threat to any society that tolerates it, and needs to cease being celebrated, rewarded, and positioned as an aspirational goal.
Corporations are the only ‘persons’ which should be subjected to capital punishment, but billionaires should be euthanised through taxation.
Fuck up some other state's politics for a change.
You don't have to sell it to me I was already in
They should flee earth. Start living on the moon and leave the rest of society.
Don't let the door hit you on the way out!
do we really care if the door hits them tho?
Boo. Hoo. Oh wait. Too many letters to spell out Google.
If you're rich beyond imagination, why nog pay taxes?
