É proibido, mas pode-se fazer. E o que é que acontece a quem o faz? Nada. A Administração Pública não precisa de cumprir a lei em Portugal. Poderia ter dado mais 20 exemplos.
So ridiculous, yall must know.
For the last month I’ve been using Empower ride hailing app in NYC. (They charge drivers a monthly fee instead of taking 20%, I believe).
Cars always available. And always much, much cheaper than Uber.
Tonight was particularly insane.
LaGuardia airport to home:
- Uber: $125 (criminal)
- Empower: $30
IDK guys it feels like $5 Via days.
Don’t know which good soldier built this app, or why. But it feels like they’ve punched a hole in the absurd NYC ride hailing pricing schemes that we all had come to just accept.
With https://t.co/lAxValp45d, you can follow public contracts at municipality level, see where the money is flowing, and explore the network behind it through connected entities and contracts.
It's a simpler way to understand who is contracting with whom, where public money is going, and how local spending moves across the network.
Portugal with the right policies would be the next Poland.
The ingredients are all there:
- Perfect weather
- Safe streets
- English widely spoken
- 0% tax on crypto held over 365 days
- One of Europe's strongest expat communities already in place
- IFICI regime, with 0% foreign income tax and 20% local
- Close timezone as the US East Coast
- Lower cost of living than almost anywhere comparable in Western Europe
- Within 35 minutes from Lisbon: a dozen beach towns, each better than the last
Yet despite some things genuinely improving, Portugal remains structurally dysfunctional, in a way that forces its best young people to emigrate, because building a career here is factually impossible.
