While the exploitation of children is absolutely horrid, it would seem that there would be obvious solutions that could be addressed without having to strip law abiding citizens of their privacy rights...such as the ending the mass relocation of refugees and the human trafficking that this enables.

This paper may have some relevance as well. Evidence of conditioned behavior in amoebae https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6695432/ "Here we describe a motility pattern consistent with associative conditioned behavior in the microorganism Amoeba proteus. We use a controlled...

In the end, what we call "the rule of law" is merely a written expression of political will. Even within the countries of the "rules based order", law has been used as a justification for all sorts of things throughout history. I would much rather have a country with which I was culturally...

Could you describe the procedure involved in buying a property there?

Here's a question that, if answered, may help some people. What specifically is necessary to successfully apply for the Argentine Rentista Visa? I've seen different things... (1) The income must only come from rental property or in the form of dividends paid by a company you own. (2) Or...

No. Colombia was a fine choice a decade ago. Socialism has taken root there with Petro's election in 2022 and crime is a major problem today.

For better or worse any government can unilaterally decide what to do with citizenships it grants, from something like an exit tax to discourage you from leaving to revocation. As far as "whar" you are buying, you are buying naturalization (with money instead of time) which allows you to apply...

Having traveled extensively in South America, let me add that I was disappointed in Chile. The locals I met were the least friendly and welcoming of all the countries I have been to down there. In fact, the closest thing I can compare the vibe I got in Santiago was a little like East Berlin many...

As you share your experiences, it would be particularly helpful to share what things you didn't expect or consider that came completely out of left field. One knows what one knows, and one knows what one doesn't know. But often a person doesn't know what they don't know, if that makes sense...

Regarding Ukraine, there's a reason for that. Not an aggressive tax system or territorial tax...that eliminates quite a few right there. Not an island eliminates quite a few more (Mauritius, the Seychelles, St Kitts, Antigua, Anguilla, the C.I., Bermuda, and the Bahamas) Not third world (there...

There's a simple solution for this. Alcoholism. Once you pickle your organs, they are of no use to anyone but you.

As a Russian, would you mind sharing what your concerns are regarding your home country? On paper, a 13% flat tax sounds like a very capital friendly jurisdiction.

Sure https://www.investorseurope.com I know that they've been around for at least a decade.

Anyone with personal experience with this brokerage?

From when to when? I would wager that living in Russia in 2024 is nothing like living there in the 1990s was, just as living in the West in 2024 is nothing like living here was in the 1990s. Places change, sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse. However, politics is always downstream...

From that perspective yes...but they are geographically uncorrelated to North American customers, accept crypto as payment, and last time I checked offered more configurability and a lower price than some of the competition. Of course, one can always find a compatible machine (new/used) and...

No relationship to these guys aside from being a satisfied customer, but I'd probably start my search for a laptop here: Nova Custom Laptops If you already have a laptop, you need to determine if you want the machine to be (1) Secure, (2) Private, or (3) Both. There are many commercial...

Buenos Aires is a big city with all the good and bad comes with that designation. Would I rather live there than in Sao Paulo, Rio, Mexico City, LA, San Francisco, Chicago, or New York? Yes. Would I rather live elsewhere in Argentina? Yes. Where? Probably Ushuaia, Bariloche, San Martin de Los...

Well, that's unfortunate. By all i's dotted, and t's crossed I mean nothing suspicious about the funds, the necessary nationality and renunciation documents in hand, and no legal issues with either the police or taxing authorities. I guess NZ or Europe it would have to be then. As far as CSB in...

Thanks for the feedback. I'm not necessarily opposed to Europe, but since many institutions ask you to prove some sort of a nexus to their location, I figured being in the South Pacific an Asian bank would be an easier lift. Last edited: Sep 25, 2024
