Build data centers in politically stable countries.

Sure you cannot bribe anyone, actually have to pay taxes and can't install gas turbines but... they don't get blown up.

Politically stable countries are more likely to let you skirt taxes because you’re bringing thousands of high paying jobs in, theoretically. It’s a really easy argument to make.

But also, there’s basically aren’t any politically stable countries right now lol.

Eh. I would call several of the Middle-East countries that got their data centers smushed as "politically stable." They just got into bed with the wrong ally, I guess?

> actually have to pay taxes

Interested in recommendations of politically stable countries where companies can't practice tax avoidance.
