Maybe fix the Irish tax loophole first?

Exactly. Never do anything until you can do everything all at once. If you can't wave a magic wand and solve all problems everywhere, it's best to just keep the status quo.

Or, you know, do two things at once. It's not uneard of for a huge governmental entity to be able to do that. And it's stupid to repaint the ceiling when you have a leaky roof.

A slap on the wrist for two of the tech giants is great progress. I would consider this a start, but not done yet.

The linked article supports this as well:

Tove Maria Ryding from the European Network on Debt and Development, an association of trade unions and non-governmental organisations, welcomed the ECJ's decision but stressed "our tax problem is more than just one rotten apple".

She said the case addressed tax matters dating back over 20 years and was "a perfect illustration of the chaotic corporate tax system we have".

“What we urgently need is a fundamental reform that can give us a tax system that is fair, effective, transparent and predictable," she said.
