Every time I have to wait a long time to get a doctor's appointment or the police won't arrive in time when crime is reported I ponder how it could have been if Amazon paid their taxes.
Maybe because China is making big strides with space and reusable rockets just like they did with EVs and data centers while the world is just watching using their government powers to block and hamper SpaceX, Nvidia and Tesla etc. which unfortunately seem be the west's best and maybe only chance to stay ahead or catchup.
Conceding the EV race, and now the AI/robot/DC race and space race to China will probably ensure Taiwan will have a very bad time at some point.

Sometimes people try to keep the forum sensible, according to the house rules, maybe its a losing battle already lost.
Privately funded and thus unrelated. Maybe lobby for increasing the number of residency slots, which is the only government backed filter.
> police won't arrive in time when crime is reported
Vote for a different DA, also the police are paid with property taxes, which Amazon does pay, but only if they are local.
Very US-centric response. And even then, US government funding is a determinant of how many doctors are trained.
