I was thinking, the UK and EU should set extra taxes on US tech companies to offset the tariffs. don't even need to fix the amount - just tie it to whatever the tariffs are.


Sure, let's all lose our jobs, who needs them anyways...!

But then finally we proved Trump and all those evil Americans a point! *evil laughter...

We in EU could do that, if we dared investing in tech.


FWIW: acquiescing and becoming Trump's bitch won't save your jobs either. See Vietnam - they dropped tariffs on the US, and still got hit with the highest American tariffs - even higher than the EU that's threatening to retaliate.


We all work for US tech companies, do we?
