Is that surprising? This is exactly how they treat the rest the world in business (e.g. Apple/Google/Amazon's elaborate international tax evasion schemes see dutch sandwich/double irish style arrangements).

Also see Uber/AirBNB "disruption" of not paying benefits/hotel taxes. I would be more surprised if they didn't "optimize" like that.

It’s not, but this entire thread is focused on quality of life issues, which is exactly what the “tech elite” mentioned in this article want people to focus on, and not the real reason why they’re leaving.

My point is don’t fall for their public relations spin BS.

The longer I love the more I realize that heroes are doing their thing far from positions of prominence in front of the public eye.
