    Can you explain to me exactly how moving where profit is recorded from one division to another in the same organization reduces their tax burden? Because, excuse me, I know I only did a year or two of accounting courses before dropping the degree, but that’s not how I understand taxes to work.

    Also to be turning a profit by “doing well collecting data”, the open market value of the data Alexa alone annually generates would need to be around 8% of the entire global data market. If you can justify how millions of instances of “Alexa set a timer for 10 minutes”, “Alexa what is the weather”, or “Alexa play despacito” generates that much value, maybe you have a point.

        Yeah well, apologies for being a little sassy, but I’m not exactly a big fan of your tone either.

            You used polite words, but you were condescending. I’m not interested in whether that was intentional or not, but that is the vibe you gave.

                As I said, I don’t care if you “intended” to be condescending, I’m saying you were. Judging by your comment history you often are, so maybe get used to people responding with a bit of attitude.

                  Don’t judge a book by its comment history. You should block me, so we don’t have to interact again. I will do the same. I wish you well.
