    Pretty sure they send the profits to Ireland or some other tax haven country like all the big companies

      Delaware, it goes to Delaware. It dwarfs most tax havens in the world. That shit makes Ireland look like amateur money lauderers keepers.

      Edit: added sauce

    No. The trade balance is specifically about trade.

    The name for the thing that includes every money exchange is the payments balance… But it’s always balanced anyway, so nobody talks about it.

      Why? Is this some moral stance?

        In fact yes it is. The Walton’s daughter Alice killed another person and got away Scott free.

        The “walmartification” of areas where they decimate small mom and pop stores by offering lower priced goods and then jack up the price once those stores are gone.

        It’s low pay with zero benefits to its employees is also bad.

        And from a moral standpoint, as a proud Canadian: Fuck the American corporations.

          The walmartification description there applies to their suppliers, too. They offer a great purchase price (especially to food goods) and sell at a loss so both farmers and customers choose Walmart. Once competition is stifled, they slap the farmers with reduced offers (while no other chains have the total purchasing power anymore) while sale price can afford to come up a bit on the shelf.

          This type of move by Huy Fong led to the Sriracha sauce shortage when the chili farmers rejected the low bid and were willing to let the crop rot.

        It’s an “I’m Canadian and America can fuck right off in every way I possibly can tell them to” stance.
