I’ve written on this subject in the past so I won’t go on about it.

The original context of this post is here.
The European Union decided back in 2016 that Apple wasn’t paying Ireland enough in taxes even though Ireland clearly said they were. Apple initially lost the ruling and has been paying the taxes into an escrow account.
Today, it was announced that they won their appeal.
I’m so happy that someone else recognized that the EU’s ecomomy shouldn’t rest of the shoulders of everyone else, including the companies of the United States. The very companies that invented most of your creature comforts. Yes. I went there.
It would be so cool if everyone else turned around and sued the EU for being total toolbags.
