Mapping the Global Migration of Millionaires
OFF-TOPICI've had this discussion with friends a few times. We always came to the conclusion that countries like Switzerland are a good option if you're already rich. The difference between paying 0% tax and 40% tax is astronomical in terms of the length of time it takes to achieve financial freedom...- Contrarian

HOT!One point I haven't seen discussed here yet: whether it's the virus or the lockdowns which are more harmful is only one - narrow - perspective of the argument. Pure utilitarianism. For me, even if the virus were as deadly as the fearmongers claim it is, I would still oppose any and all...- Contrarian

HOT!Fascinating insight. While I am not interested in offering an opinion right now on the benefits vs. adverse event profile of vaccines, it's hard to think of an industry with a higher risk profile for moral hazard. Who wouldn't want to own the exclusive rights to a mandatory product that gets...- Contrarian

HOT!So, I can go out for a walk once a day. But not between 9PM and 6AM because there's a curfew. Explain how going for a walk at 8PM is OK but going for a walk at 9PM is highly dangerous and irresponsible and will be met by the full force of the law? Going for a walk in my neighbourhood is...- Contrarian

HOT!Tyranny was wrong when it came in the form of the draft 80 years ago and it remains wrong in the form of blanket lockdowns today. Spurious argument. Not really.

HOT!And this is all just fun and games for most of us here. The day job is busier than ever and my business looks to be mostly unaffected so far. Maybe even a net benefit.

HOT!Here in Cyprus you have to send an SMS to the government to receive approval to leave your house, picking from a list of "acceptable" reasons. You're only allowed to leave the house once per day. If the reason is for exercise, you're only allowed to be in areas "adjacent to your residence" (what...- Contrarian

The U.S. Only Pretends to Have Free Markets
OFF-TOPICDepends where in Europe. Real estate, employment law and most other things are much freer markets here in Malta than in the USA. There is a lot more money to be made in the USA, which is why I do my business there despite timezone inconveniences. (Also I like the ethos of getting shit done.)...- Contrarian

Smoking
HEALTHAh, so you've been through all this before then. Maybe you can handle being an occasional smoker then. But, maybe the nicotine-craving part of your brain is playing tricks on you to get you hooked... If you must take it up again, it's surely better to vape. Personally I don't want to ever...- Contrarian

Smoking
HEALTHHow long have you smoked for, @Ninjakid ? I had my first cigarette at 26. I thought getting addicted would never happen to me either. Just the occasional one which felt great. In less than a year I was a 20-a-day smoker. The thing that sucks most about that process is, it's that amazing...- Contrarian

HOT! RANTYeah it was well worth the trip! To be fair I'm including flights, accommodation, bike rental, etc. in that price. But trackday-goers with their own bikes rack up massive costs as well.
