    The government and a lot of other companies are absolutely incapable of not using Excel and Azure services. It’s possible they could teach people new tools but databases, tables, excel files, VBA stuff, SQL etc… Is just not going to get changed. Alternatives are way too expensive and the sheer amount of work to make sure every single ETL rule is followed would be absolutely insane. The cybersecurity alone will make it a no go.

    No AI will not solve this.

    Postgres is very cheap.

    VB is garbage and anything using it should have been scrapped decades ago.

      You don’t need excel, you could convert to libreoffice spreadsheets, there may be a few functions that need adjustment, but I have found its pretty much feature for feature. There are also so many SQL derivatives mariaDB, mySQL, postgresSQL. There would be a few pains, but as Europe has already realized we need data and software sovereignty

        Sure but you take 3% out of my $10 and I have $9.70.

        But take 15% out of your $100 and you still have $85.

        They can pay their taxes.

        Thats false equivalency. Billions is the larger number and since a billion is 1000x a million, it would be 3% of their $10000 and 15% of your $10. So its their $300 tax vs your $1.50 tax. Sure they are still better off, however (un)fair that may be, but it was more in tax than you actually hold, by a wide margin.

        Or course we could, and should, argue it should be reveresed, but thats just yelling in to the wind at this point.

          Trump wants Canada's digital services tax gone before trade talks resume | CBC News

          U.S. President Donald Trump says he's ending all trade discussions with Canada to hit back at Ottawa for slapping a tax on web giants — and he wants it removed before negotiations can begin again.

              The part where “in 7 days we will tell Canada what they have to pay” is going to be interesting.

                    Amazon Web Services is the world’s most popular cloud provider and where a massive chunk of their profit comes from. Lots of people don’t seem to know about it, but their logistics arms is almost like a side hustle compared to AWS

                    In Q1 2025, AWS accounted for 17% of Amazon’s overall revenue but over 60% of its operating income.

                      Yes, I know that’s the way it is, but the leeches should pay their fucking taxes.

                      Yet when we pay income tax, we pay more when we make more money.

                      It’s not false equivalency, it’s math.
