    Slashdot pointed out this useful piece on how Ireland is closing their tragically counterproductive “jawbs” tax havens:

    Eventually. “…a provision for a transition period until the end of 2020”

    Matt Stoller has an excellent piece on Naked Capitalism that explains why it is past time to restrict Amazon.

    http://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2014/10/matt-stoller-need-break-amazon.html

    I broke with Amazon a few years ago over the abuse of sales tax jurisdictions then relented when they finally agreed to start collecting sales taxes (although once sales tax was included they often were no cheaper than the local retailer). Sorry Amazon it was fun and certainly convenient but this time it’s really over.
