> However, since the financial markets are close to efficient, it is difficult to use such information to make money. If you can, you should consider getting a job on Wall Street.

This is not correct in all cases

People who sold their crypto first when they just saw the publicly available news about inflation, stopped more loss than many other people, because they just reacted faster, not because they are actually capable for Wall Street jobs.

Same for people who bought gold when they heard about Russian military build up on Ukrainan border.

Same for the normal guys who decided it's the time to buy another car and to wait before selling the current, when they heard a chip shortage is approaching

Same for people who bought Pfizer stocks in January 2020

> How about with taxes paid there?

How about taxes paid in countries with more civilian kills in unjustified wars?

Are people from Iraq, Afghanistan, Sub-sahran africa less horrible to kill than from Ukraine?

I'm not whatabouting, I'm just clarifying what this idea implies

The actual reason why it's "okay" to pay taxes in U.S. is that the media don't demonize U.S. as equally as for Russia, Iran, Taliban, etc.. Therefore, public opinion isn't really going to affect their $$

This, I think I might be on of few people who uses XMPP with his wife

> Ok, so how are interviews fair at all then?

They are not, and no company cares about fairness

Can you elaborate?

Exactly, setting your money on fire will slow down inflation

Upwork, they are doing good as the leading freelancing platform which helps people make side income or even establish their fulltime freelancing business

As employer, they are mostly remote

Disclaimer: I work for Upwork, this is my own genuine comment though

I don't know but pressured is not technically equal to forced.

Not saying what she did is okay, but it's not "forcing"

This reminded me of the video of a french guy telling an american guy about his baby: She looks like a "grosse phoque" (Chubby seal, in french)

Please discriminate against me, I will only take $10M

I visited UAE recently, and was considering moving there.

You can find tons of offerings from local offices that can help you get employment visa that allows you to work for other UAE employers whilen sponsored by the office (advertised as freelancer visa, however it doesn't really allow you to work as contractor for UAE clients), you can find many posters everywhere in Dubai.

In case you are not there yet, just check dubai.dubizzle.com (craigslist like in Dubai). this is about $2050 for two years visa, you pay less per person when getting your family members.

A more expensive and robust option, is to work with through umbrella company like freelancervisa.com , they will issue invoices for your local client in their name, they recieve the fund and give it to you, the only fees is that 2 years visa is kinda double the first option (plus you have to charge your clients %5 for VAT).

Also if you are impacted with Upwork (or similar) cease of operations for residents Russia, moving to UAE and opening a bank account will fix this for you, you don't have to be able to work legally with UAE clients if you won't work with UAE clients, so the $2K-ish option should be good

Also, UAE is pretty robust in terms of money remitance and crypto friendly, in case you can't take your family with you.

Good luck

This deportation process seems better than regular security checks you can go through in my country.

I know few people who would be happier in a Norwegian prison than in their houses.

But yeah, people should do their researches about CoL in this area

I don't disagree (nor totally agree) with your opinion about the matter. But they don't take a 20% of all their freelancers earnings, they take 20% on the first $500 of your per-client earnings, then %10 of the next $9500, then %5 of any more work with your client. Also, you are free to work with any client outside the platform 2 years after you start work with them.

> Everybody may live and work in Svalbard indefinitely regardless of country of citizenship. The Svalbard Treaty grants treaty nationals equal right of abode as Norwegian nationals. Non-treaty nationals may live and work indefinitely visa-free as well.

Exactly that!

I think it is ridiculous to think that more elephant are born without tusks as a kind of "random selection" or even adaption
