Ireland was actually not a plaintiff in the case about Apple's back taxes in that country. The Irish state had absolved Apple from paying those taxes in the first place which the EU court of justice considered an illegal gouvernment subsidy. So their magic power was less litigation and more (helping in) tax evasion.

New Yorkers really need to let Connecticans have their pizza. As a Californian it’s just like you guys are measuring your…crowd sizes. 😂 everything else about New York is better, let sorry CT have their pizza. New Haven pizza does slap and that’s legit the only good thing I can say about CT 🍕🤣
1:57 This is a much bigger deal than it looks here. First of all, 14 billion is the kind of money a european country could do a *lot* with. Second of all, it's Apple, one of the companies that use Ireland in a sort of bank holding scheme where they used to pay 0% tax for. As John Oliver pointed out, the "double-irish, with a dutch-sandwich" . If they can keep this up, that's one less method big companies can use to hide their cash from the taxes they should be forced to pay. In normal times, this could be bigger than any election.
New Haven Pizza is not to be trifled with! When I was growing up, if we went out for Pizza it was a drive to Sally's on Wooster St ... Always!! If I'm not mistaken they still have the same 3 portraits on the wall that were there when I was a kid in the 60s. Jesus, JFK, and Frank Sinatra 😆 Pizza as it was meant to be!!
@@THB192 When I was a kid Sally's & Pepe's were not Crazy the way they are now. Maybe we'd have to wait 5 or 10 minutes for a table, but it wasn't bad at all. Now people stand outside for 2 or 3 hours in sub freezing temperatures just to get inside! Modern is an Excellent choice and Zuppardi's is Great too! I used to own a little bar & grill on the Post Rd. in Orange and we had Zuppardi's on the menu 😃 They would deliver them to us frozen (uncooked) and we had a little pizza oven in the kitchen. It was Awesome!! Everybody used to Love being able to get Zuppardi's pie at our little place 👍 Best!
3:25 uhhh the Crocs x McDonald's collaboration was last year... I remember wearing those Grimace ones to a NYE party well after getting them. the others were for sale or sold-out too.
I was SO excited to try fugu when I was in Japan this summer! But then the typhoon hit, the restaurant was closed, and I was flying home the next day. :(

The funny part of the back-taxes court rules is: Irlands layer argue against the back-taxes but the EU-Court says it is an illegal subvention of apple. So the would rather like to loos this case instead of getting the tax.
Why Taylor chose when she did? I heard it was because the Trump people released an AI of her saying she would be endorsing Trump, which was a HUGE misstep lolz.

Good on you, guy from Connecticut! Stand up for your state's fake sign!
I think it's actually New Haven that makes the brag, making CT the "Home of" the Pizza Capital.
Most New Yorkers dgaf about who has the best pizza. It's not an 80's Spike Lee movie.

Can I just say how much I love Lewis and the band? They are super talented, and so joyful and amazing.
Great band! I would love to see and hear more from them.

Didn't apple move to Ireland to avoid taxes? Good to know they're paying taxes somewhere.
Ireland: We're nice.. not stupid.
They did, but there's a bit more to it. It also was not the Irish government suing, but the EU's competition watchdog, and the court was the ECJ, not a national court.
Anytime a US corporation moves its operations overseas it's to avoid taxes.
