I’ve lived in the USA for 11 years, and there’s a lot of things in the USA that I really like, but the lack of worker and consumer rights is a major issue. At least California has some consumer rights, but it’s nowhere near as strong as where I’m from (Australia).
I wouldn’t mind corporate tax breaks to public companies (like ireland gives) as long as the gov’t taxes private wealth enough to fund decent social programs like Ireland.
I was thinking “this wouldn’t be successful in the USA”, and yep, it’s in a country with proper workers’ rights (Ireland).
No doubt some of the other affected employees in Ireland (35 of them according to the article) will sue Twitter too.
Imagine taking pride in this fucking gold plated cesspool we call the US.
It boggles the mind.

Ireland has attracted many tech companies including Twitter, and the latter has a massive employment footprint here.
