Old news? Also, it's one thing to sign a document, another to build a prototype and yet another to mass produce. The explosion may perhaps happen in the (hopefully) not too distant future.

GGR- is doing very well

I think European who value democratic principles support their actions for Ukraine and are willing to share, even in a minute way, the struggles of Ukrainian against Russian dictatorship.

Europe is determined to support Ukraine against Russia's invasion and will manage this coming winter just fine. I'm not sure that will be the case for Putin.

Breathe... Soon enough your glorious leader will fall, either at the hands of nationalists or democratic forces.

This is an ethereal subject I enjoy a great deal, being in my very late 50s and looking towards the sunset. Character - I think leaders in enterprise or government are decisive; that's why they are where they are. That character trait is something some people are born with while others become...

And I expect those who lost their shirt on that squeeze might be getting ready to take revenge.

All depends what income we're talking about, top 10% earners or average earners. Then it depends which US states we're talking about, because of the great variables. California has local, state and federal taxes, in addition to a 10% sales tax. Finally, we have to determine what benefits we...

Clearl, taxation is a complicated matter, but Europe has already agreed on standard VAT tax and other taxes. I know Spain is being sued by the European parliament, or whatever sues nations for failing to a abide by its negotiated agreements, for taxing European non residents a higher property...

I think that's great news! Where do you think that inflation comes from? Too much gov money, too much speculative stock money, too high paychecks... As long as all that extra money is in the hands of too many people prices will continue to rise. Supply and demand, remember? There will come a...

Interesting interpretation. My image was more of a neo 20s cabaret band of sassy black women in electro pink and blue hair with zoot suited latino men as back up singers :cool:

Long ago, when I was in my early 20s I wanted to work in the music industry and went to college to study all aspects of it, from recording to the business back end. But I never followed through with it, because I was afraid to be stuck working for $5/hr cleaning a recording studio for years...

Damn Overnight, you can also be poetic! Or did you grab that from a song/movie? :D

Very interesting. China struggles with its fundamental core values. A powerful conservative movement in the CCP wants to undue 30 years of economic liberalization and return to conservative social values based on communist dogma. Perhaps they fear losing their grips on both, leading to losing...

So you're talking 1920s? Why not earlier? My family has a property on the lake (if you don't know which lake you're not from CA) it built in 1905. We've come to distrust anyone who came in after the turn of the century. Just bad vibes from these newcomers... But go ahead with your story, please.

Large corporations use tax loopholes in one country to funnel profits earned in other countries in an effort to keep their taxes low. Ireland is well known, but so is Luxembourg and the many other non European tax havens. That's what I call non criminal money laundering.

I think that's because European believe that everyone who makes money should pay taxes, in particular those highest on the income scale? European don't care if the money comes from drugs or prostitution or corporate; they care that everyone is taxed appropriately.

:wtf: there's a sucker born every day! I might consider 78k...

I'm a firm believer that cashless economies are around the corner, at least in Europe within 10 years and North America not long after. Smart government people are paying close attention to BTC and crypto in general, for technical weaknesses they can remedy when building a European...
