    The problem with conservatism though is that their voters will think this is a good thing. Taxes are bad full stop, so these companies are clever by lowering their tax bill. They don’t see that the salaries are obscene. Then they complain about public services and infrastructure being bad.

      A consistent conservative is also against companies of this size existing. In that case they’d be right.

      Everything makes sense only in its own particular situation. Nothing is universally applicable. No, I don’t like paradoxical statements.

      But still things are right when they are right and wrong when they are wrong.

      You can see Republican voters applying their rule of thumb in the wrong place. Democrats do that too with theirs.

      Sometimes there’s no bright future and we should just brace for impact.
