Cloud Computing Tax Threatens Chicago's Silicon Valley Ambitions
- Spivak 2y agoCan anyone explain why this could be a good tax because I'm not seeing it? On the surface this seems incredibly stupid. * Not taxing money directly but instead "usage." * Taxing behavior you're trying to encourage. * Pushing businesses away from software that allows for environmentally sound practices like paperless operations and remote work. * "Cloud computing" is effectively a proxy for business activity and it's a really bad one.
