Well there's your problem!

Can the EU just Thanos snap Microsoft out of existence with a quadrillion euro fine?
That would be a sure fire way to get Microsoft to pull completely out of Europe leaving thousands of companies without support and a heafty unpaid fine setting on the table.
It would actually be beneficial for Microsoft to abandon the server farms and offices leaving workers with an email stating the situation and their new job status.
You think Microsoft has no assets in Europe? Asset seizure is a sure fire way to get paid when companies refuse to cooperate.

No, they do have assets in Europe.
Indeed - about every 2nd EU politician is a Microsoft asset. ^^
Oh no, it’s the consequences of my actions by putting all my eggs in one basket and giving a corporation incredible leverage.
Maybe they should derisk their infrastructure then…

If it's a choice between abandoning assets or going bankrupt I think they'd choose abandoning assets. The only exception to that rule is if they have the majority of their company there and that's just not the case being an American company.
You think they make no profits in Europe? Why would they be here if they didn't?
I think it's fair to assume their profits are less than 1 quadrillion euros
Heh, didn't take that number literally I guess
I would love the mayhem that would ensue from Microsoft leaving Europe completely. Dumb fuckers in all those incompetent IT departments that have wasted countless hours of mine because they don't understand jack shit of what they're doing would be having strokes, and us geeks would be having a field day keeping essential stuff alive, like medical technology and power plants.

How could they pull out of Europe if they straight up didn't exist? I'm suggesting the European Union should fine them enough to go bankrupt.
They wouldn't pay the fine that would bankrupt them they'd just cut there losses and abandon anything that was seised. They're an American company and the Asian market is what there after nowadays anyway.
If you could cut a dead limb off to save the body, wouldn't you? At the end of the day it depends on how the US and Europe handles civil cases across borders and Microsoft has a lot of ties with the US government.
Just a shame the US government's been completely captured. It's all rot from the top down.
It's not all bad just the federal for the most part. We're working on that but are politicians are as old as the hills. I believe they spend more time listening to corporate lobby pitches than reading the damn news but that's our problem to deal with.
Most of the biggest tech giants have picked up jobs from homeland or the NSA at one point in time or another, Microsoft is just the most prevalent along with Facebook (meta).
I'm stuck with one of the most fucked state governments, too. Actually, it's so bad I've been aiming to leave for a while, and I'll likely be gone within the next six weeks ish.
Well I wish you luck. Moving is no fun IMO
Oh I've been there, done it. But I'm looking forward to the bright lights of New York!
google as well, while we're at it.
Here!
