Interesting narrative here. Ireland is “predatory” because they create an extremely low tax environment for competitiveness.

Is Texas also predatory for having no income tax versus CA, NY etc 10%+ income tax?



I think Ireland are. They are actively trying to shoot down a case where Apple would need to pay them billions in taxes: https://www.irishtimes.com/business/economy/ireland-wins-app...

What government in their right mind fights taxes they would receive? They want to keep Apple (and others) happy so they don’t take their income elsewhere.

So I‘d say this smells of predatory pricing.


Predatory from the perspective of other nations/states.
