Offshore tax havens. They’ve been in the news a bit lately, especially in relation to one of our otherwise favorite companies, Apple.

There’s a bit of contentious disagreement, mid-ep, for those that like controversy too. Things get a little heated, but all in the service of thinking through some very complicated ideas… Recorded 10/18/2016. Show notes available at https://robotoverlordz.fm/show/436-ep00316-notes.
