    I saw a video about this. I think the next step would be heavier taxes on the corporations that do this kind of stuff.

    Then a nationalization of the physical means of that corporation that the entity leaves behind.

    “If they leave we just make it work without them, we are American, we can do anything.” -some dude on the internet

      Force companies that want to operate in your country to report sales made in your country so they’re taxed on the revenues, kick em out if they don’t report them.

      Thanks for the reply! Would this work for tech companies? Biggest part of our Sp500. They’re mostly “in the cloud” right? So it’s pretty easy to move. And physical resources they leave behind would just be some data centers or whatever

      Would love to see the video you mentioned if you can find it

        I imagine it would work much the same way taxing any service industry would.

        I wont pretend to understand how the sp500 calculates its value. I personally think the stock market is all smoke, mirrors & vibes. Tech still needs patents and copyrights, a likely vector of attack for a willing government I imagine.

        Unfortunately, I have a vague memory of the video maybe its this one?
