That’s where the jobs are. ‘Headquartered in Murca’ makes very little difference to the Canadian economy. It’s not like the c-levels contribute anything to Murca, as can be plainly seen.

minus-squareCaptnNMorgan@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0arrow-down4·15 days agoThat makes zero sense. How do they benefit by selling and manufacturing cars in other countries, if not by making money?
minus-square60d@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·15 days agoWeird, right? So people make money while working for Ford, for example. Ford the automaker gets paid and makes “profit” in Murca. Profit goes to the 1%. The 1% contributes nothing to the economy by dodging taxes and securing a greater share of the overall wallet in Murca. This causes inflation because there’s less money circulating. Huh. It’s almost like the profits do nothing, despite what Reagan told you.
