Trade retaliation because a US company engaged in tax dodging abroad? I knew the US school system is bad but I didn't think it was this bad for people to make such connections.
Seems ridiculous to me that Ireland doesn't have authority over its own taxes to give Apple a tax break, but even more ridiculous that Apple is on the hook for that deal being ruled illegal after the fact.

Ireland can have full authority over its own taxes ... if it leaves the EU. But then Apple, Google, et-all would also leave Ireland for another EU tax heaven sicne there wouldn't be much advantage for them staying there anymore. The EU giveth and the EU taketh away. Ireland can't have its cake and eat it too.
