That's the point, there are plenty of future prospects, but the company is playing accounting games to hide the profits.

No, we're just calling bullshit on the whole thing because we're tired of wealthy multinationals dodging taxes in our countries. That's how they should be contributing.

There are counties that have zero percent corporate profits tax.

Be like them and the corporations won’t have a need to offshore their profit.

The alternative is One World Government, which, in its lesser form, empire, has a nasty habit rapidly turning quite sour.
