New research from the Irish Fiscal Advisory Council shows two unnamed tech companies—widely seen as Apple and Microsoft—paid nearly €11 billion, or 40% of Ireland's 2024 corporation tax, with Eli Lilly covering most of the rest to reach 46% total. Corporation tax has nearly doubled since 2021, boosted by global 15% minimum rates that will add €5 billion more from 2026, but the council warns of risks from over-reliance on a few U.S. firms amid AI uncertainties, regulations, and policy shifts. While multinationals bring jobs, exports like Eli Lilly's €36 billion in drug ingredients, and funds like the €20 billion Strategic Transformation Fund, online concerns echo the 2008 crash, urging bigger savings buffers.

Key Takeaway

Imagine three companies footing nearly half of a nation's corporate tax bill. That's Ireland's reality, where two tech giants and one pharma firm drove the bulk of last year's €28.1 billion haul.

Frank McCormick, a former teacher and constitutional conservative, posted on X early Thursday asking if people enjoy Christmas aesthetics like lights, music, and decorations. Over 50 Jewish respondents largely expressed delight in the holiday's vibe and mood-boosting elements amid winter, noting cultural participation such as eating Chinese food on Christmas or decorating neighbors' trees. Many highlighted the irony that iconic songs like 'White Christmas' and 'Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer' were written by Jewish composers including Irving Berlin and Johnny Marks. While a minority opts out, the thread with over 4,000 views reflects American pluralism and shared seasonal goodwill transcending faith.

Key Takeaway

A simple question on X about enjoying the Christmas season sparked dozens of positive replies from Jewish users, who praised its twinkling lights, festive music, and communal joy without embracing its religious core.

A YouGov survey of over 1,000 U.S. adults from February 10-13 revealed 50% support for D.C. statehood and 48% for Puerto Rico, compared to just 27% for Greenland and 24% for Canada. Partisan splits stand out: Democrats strongly favor D.C. and Puerto Rico but oppose the others, while Republicans lean against D.C. and Puerto Rico yet show more openness to Greenland. The findings highlight ongoing debates over representation for tax-paying areas without full congressional votes, amid hurdles like stalled bills and Republican control of Congress.

Key Takeaway

Imagine paying federal taxes without a voting senator—that's the daily reality for D.C. residents, and a new poll finds most Americans want to change it for them and Puerto Rico.
