#multinationals

Why US multinationals keep choosing Ireland. It’s not just the tax or workforce It’s down to ‘clustering’. ‘Having 16 of the top 20 global tech firms here, including celebrity names such as Apple, Microsoft and Alphabet, gives the IDA an ideal sales pitch.’✅ #Ireland #TechCluster #Multinationals #US #IE

De Europese Commissie heeft een voorstel gepresenteerd om de winstbelasting voor bedrijven te versoepelen, met als doel innovatie en onderzoek te stimuleren, maar er is bezorgdheid dat dit vooral multinationals en belastingadviseurs ten goede zal komen en kan leiden tot een verlies van belastinginkomsten voor nationale overheden. #belastingvoordeel #innovatie #multinationals

Brussel wil bedrijven belastingvoordeel geven: ‘Dit is een feestje voor multinationals en belastingadviseurs’

Nee vriend, hier kom je niet mee weg. De mensen van 'tScheldt, allemaal vrijwilligers, zijn onmiddellijk de juiste richting uitgestuurd door ZET, de Zogenaamde Eigenaar van Tscheldt, iemand die ooit 10 jaar bij The Wall Street Journal heeft gewerkt. Terwijl de Regimepers absoluut als eerste de weduwe wilde interviewen, de dag van het ongeval (!), de vriend van de overleden begeleidster en het ene na het andere kind, kregen de mensen van 'tScheldt de suggestie van ZET naar de chauffeurs te bellen die in Buggenhout rijden voor De Lijn, de onderaannemers, maar ook de Taxi's, de Ubers, de vuilkar en de Groendienst. Want chauffeurs kennen chauffeurs had ZET gezegd. Daarnaast werd er direct gezocht naar collega busbegeleiders van de overleden Anke. 'tScheldt wist als eerste dat de 'verkeerde' busbegeleidster op het busje zat. Na een dag wisten we bij 'tScheldt al hoe de vork in de steel zat. Op dat moment verklaarde de Regimepers de chauffeur heilig en kregen we verslagen van zijn begrafenis in de gazetten alsof het een staatsbegrafenis was. Wij verzamelden ondertussen de ene na de andere getuigenis vanuit de sector en onder busbegeleiders. We hebben vorige week twee mensen gehad van 'tScheldt die de hele nacht hebben doorgewerkt toen er om 01 uur een ultieme getuigenis binnenkwam, wat na verificatie en contact met de bron leidde tot een finaal artikel om 6 uur 's morgens. Wij gaan alle tijd en energie die we hier in staken niet door een snul als u laten bevuilen omdat u goedkoop wil scoren. 'tScheldt heeft zich niet geprostitueerd aan het verdriet van weduwe en kinderen zoals uw geliefde gazetten en uw leugenVRT. 'tScheldt is loepzuiver naar de juiste mensen gegaan met maar 1 focus: wat bezielde de chauffeur. De Regimepers concentreerde zich op emotie en folklore. Tot spijt van wie het benijdt, maar wij hadden een focus en wij hebben gewoon harder gewerkt dan de regimepersmuskieten op de payroll van gesubsidieerde multinationals. Elke letter die we schreven was gedubbelcheckt en we beschikten over meerdere niet-tegengestelde bronnen. Wij hebben geen lessen te leren van een omhooggevallen filosoofje. #journalistiek #vrijwilligers #verhalen

Nvidia's market capitalization of $5.7 trillion has surpassed Germany's GDP of $5.45 trillion, highlighting the rapid growth of tech giants and multinationals, with the combined market cap of the five largest US firms now exceeding the total GDP of Europe's five largest economies. #TechGiants #MarketCapitalization #GlobalEconomy #US #DE #JP #UK #FR #IT #ES #CN #NL #CH

Nvidia richer than Germany? How tech giants compare to top economies

De overstap van Donald Pols naar Tata Steel illustreert een bredere trend waarbij linkse figuren zich verbinden aan de bedrijven die ze eerder bestreden, wat de geloofwaardigheid van de linkse politiek ondermijnt en de indruk wekt dat er geen werkelijke verschillen zijn in belangen tussen deze politici en multinationals. #linksePolitiek #DonaldPols #TataSteel

Marcia Luyten pleit in haar artikel voor een samenleving waarin gewone burgers, onafhankelijk van multinationals en politieke opportunisten, gezamenlijk hun invloed en belangen terugwinnen door coöperaties en juridische stappen te nemen tegen de overheid en grote bedrijven, en zo een nieuwe democratische werkelijkheid opbouwen. #Burgerkracht #Coöperaties #Democratie #dobrezpravy

Dit land is niet van multinationals, volksmenners of politieke opportunisten. Het is van ons

Europe leads global wealth rankings, but the definition of a "rich country" hinges on diverse measures of prosperity and the equitable distribution of resources, as highlighted by HelloSafe's "Prosperity Index," which reveals Norway as the top country in 2026 due to its balanced social model and high GNI, contrasting with Ireland's inflated GDP influenced by multinationals, while the overall analysis indicates that true wealth is increasingly understood through the lens of social indicators and income equality rather than mere economic output. #GlobalWealth #EconomicInequality #ProsperityIndex

The historic conviction of French cement giant Lafarge for paying millions in bribes to jihadist groups, including ISIS, to maintain operations in Syria during the civil war has significant implications for multinational corporations, potentially altering their operational strategies in conflict zones and setting a legal precedent for corporate accountability in financing terrorism. #corporategovernance #terrorism #multinationals
