Sure regulate it then, effectively, and cut out any international trade which allows for the procurement of goods through a non-regulated system. Find a common agreement of what regulation is and find a way to ensure no one has an incentive to break that regulation. Find a way to ensure that a capitalist cannot accrue such wealth as to influence politics (or skirt whatever law you want against it).

The only people I’ve heard who want NO regulation are AnCaps and yeah lol no - (and also they still want property rights ig).

People just want a better system than what we have now. Which is laissez-faire capitalism. Beyond that there’s the political philosophical aspect that “capitalism” can and does effectively mean rule by the wealthiest.

Lot’s of people would be happy with a market system in a socialist society. Lots of people want Anarchism. Lots of people want Communism(the good or bad kind depending on who you ask).

Your example is fine. It’s not an option for most people to be able to source everything they need where the supply chain doesn’t rely on exploitation of labor and resource extraction somewhere along the process. Whether it’s in the materials used by the producer, the logistics in goods transport(oil & gas, shipping, warehousing, etc), or manufacturing of goods (labor, production house, etc…), the chain relies on exploitation somewhere along the way.

Buying the apple from your local farmer still relies on the oil industry to run farm equipment or transit of the product. By and large this is minimize when buying local from independent producers. Those, however, are often more expensive.

The consumer is the last step of exploitation. Where the profit stems from. Again, your local farmer probably isn’t extorting you, but your local grocery store probably is.

For me comic sands is 100% easy to read. Only has negative connotation from personal experience and the meme of it.

For me it was the default font size. Way to big on that page. Again, not target audience.

It’s just the font size. I have to zoom out to 50% then it’s pretty comfortable. But also I’m not the target audience and if my eyesight goes later on in life I’ll probably benefit. I’m glad sites are considering things like this for accessibility.

That’s why you get your cult followers to give you all their money, so you can afford lawyers, they can’t, and the other followers can be readily coerced into placing social pressure on and dissent. This is about YOU, the works is about YOU, everything us about YOU and it airways has been.

I think this actually has a negative effect for me. It’s like every character is now screaming for my attention, and my brain can’t read whole words and phrases. I have to process the letters first. Though it’s possible this could be more to do with the website’s rendering on mobile and default font size.

The US is on the exemption lost in your linked article.

Cool! Just file your tax extension by april 15 if the automatic 2 month extension is even slightly inconvenient or pushing the UK’s tax return provision date… It’s no questions asked and gives you until October.

The FBAR is also super easy if not slightly tedious depending on your foreign banking situation’s complexity.

Yeah i guess my point is not to make assumptions here. Originally i wasn’t thinking EU specific. It can just get sticky if you live in eu and have a job based in US.

It may have been a covid related restriction.

Yep. Left signal when entering then right signal when going to the 3rd exit. The left signal means you’re planning to continue in the roundabout which would be wrong if you’re exiting.

Car position is also a thing. Move to the right side on exit to block traffic behind.

Also on entry: left side of lane turning left, center for straight, right for right.

Idk what the rules are in the US for roundabouts. From what i recall there really aren’t any you’re just expected to use them without training and not crash.

You have 180 days visa free to be in the schengen area(most of EU).

It may be better to apply for your Visa in host country rather than through a US consulate. It’s often much faster, and there’s no third party which imo is safer.

It’s a one-way trip for your pets. At least last i looked into it the US doesn’t allow you to import house pets. So changing your mind will mean losing your pet. Speaking of bringing pets, that process is insane.

You WILL get homesick no matter how awful you feel about the US, it will take at least a year to go away.

The anxieties you bring with you from living in the US will take years to resolve.

You’ll need to get good at saying where you come from by referencing either New York City or LA.

FOR DIVERS:

Divers license discerns between automatic and manual transmission, trailer weights, and motorcycle displacement. There’s probably not a direct exchange so you’ll need to research for your discussing country. Your US license may be valid for a limited period after establishing residence.

use your turn signals at roundabouts. Yes, if you’re exiting left, signal left, if you’re exiting right, signal right. Always signal right when you exit. (Opposite for left hand driving) Optional if you’re diving a BMW.

Priority roads are a thing and right of may be different.

Right-turn on red may not be legal.

Seems like it only matters if your taxable income is over ~$130k? So with foreign income exclusion that would mean you’d have to make over ~$250k/year for the 5 previous years.

At that point you can just pay your problems away…

There’s also an income exclusion under $125k/yr.

All of this really depends on the tax treaty the host country has with the US, if it has one. If there is none, or the treaty doesn’t credit in this way, you could be double taxed.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some of the things someone permanently relocating away from the US should be aware of?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
This is a complicated tax situation. Taxes tend to be based on place of employment. So if you’re working for a US company you’ll need to look into what tax treaties your country of residence has with the US, because your US employer will likely have to withhold taxes and provide a W2. Your host country will ask that you report your income. If the treaty allows, you can claim tax paid in the US as a credit. The reverse is often true in these treaties.

This will often have consequences with things like pensions, Holiday pay, etc… For example, if your country has a lot of mandated vacation you may either not have that benefit, or your company will have to conform to the country’s rules which could cause friction, especially with American companies.

Yeah but videogames can actually be fun for a while. I suspect work would be far more bearable if everything could be completed. I would be much happier if I didn’t need a job to survive or have a decent standard of living.
