Totally worth it and we’ll recoup a large chunk since the money will be going to companies that pay their taxes. Not doing this isn’t even an option anymore.

Cool, an €115 billion injection into the European economy and jobs which we would have wasted offshore for no benefit, let’s do it!

And staying with the USA might cost 100 billion per year in overpriced fossil fuels contacts and cleaning up USA’s military adventures.

Even if it where true: That is money well spend. 115 billion over 10 years is not that much for 27 countries combined anyway.
Afaik the EU27 public expenditure for 2025 alone was 9.32 trillion[1]. So we are talking about ~11 billion a year vs 9.32 trillion which is ~0.1% of public expenditure of the EU27. I think if we want we can handle that.

Edit:
Am I right in thinking that the study does recognize a spending shift towards the EU but doesn’t treat that shift as an offset against the 115 billion?

Don’t forget all the new local companies and jobs that will pop up to keep their systems online.
They really don’t grasp that the point of money is to use it to do things. Things that benefit, not just you, but your family, your community, your nation and humanity in general. They really think just sitting on giant piles of cash like a nesting bird is what it’s there for.
I swear the richer you get the dumber it makes you. Like I honestly believe there’s a point at which you get rich enough that the “Skills Atrophy” you see with people who get hooked on AI actively starts breaking down your own brain.
Canada needs to ditch US tech giants as well. Long live the Fediverse!

Oh no… They’ll have to find some other countries to funnel their tax avoidance through. Might I recommend Russia now that Trump is pals with Vlad?
