It’s not the numbers, yet. It’s the message it sends.

I’m all for taxing the ultra-wealthy, but from the calculations I’ve seen it won’t be nearly enough.

If you don’t like what I post you can always block me. I post articles I find interesting and relevant to the topic, ie Europe. It’s not like Lemmy is flooded with content anyway, and FT is a reputable source. Even if you don’t like it, a lot of people will read the article and have opinions; just have a look at the article comments on the site.

I love this.

I also think that the EU should prohibit PII from being stored in the cloud where there isn’t a 100% guarantee that this data won’t leave Europe without the explicit consent of the organisation storing it. Starting with governments in 2030 (or something) and then expanding this to private companies.

Need to store PII? Then it’s on prem or an EU cloud provider. Nothing else.

I’m willing to accept exceptions as long as they are periodically reviewed and a plan exists exit the situation.
