@alexanderrX_ @DuxVul Can’t leave out Bulgaria. Bansko one of the biggest EU digital nomad hubs, Sofia/Plovdiv/Black Sea coast all popular remote work spots too

@MichaelAArouet One advantage China (and developing countries generally) have is that they can grow incomes more rapidly than pension obligations. In Europe that’s much more challenging. Ever higher and broader taxes on the working population is the only politically palatable solution

@TimurNegru A for all expenses paid, B for your own dime

[Mark @mark_brc1]

@YMonteYCristoY @thealepalombo Exactly, but if it’s all expenses paid then I’m taking A. If paying myself different story!

@Thighsofsteel1 @Hill_of_Beanz @tomfgoodwin With a new line opening soon

@feder98 @davidtoniolo Border regions the costs go down significantly. We lived in Valais so could just pop to France for groceries or dinner. Online shopping is cheaper due to 8% VAT. Magic annual ski pass is crazy cheap (400chf for 100 resorts). Half fare card halves the transit costs. Not all bad

@Hill_of_Beanz @tomfgoodwin Here in BG they still raise and lower train crossing beams manually! But we also got self checkouts, go figure

@igorhansachat @FalkTG Schietwetter is the only Plattdeutsch phrase I learnt! Hamburg is an epic city though, hugely underrated by non Germans

@Liathetrader @redl3tters AC (heat pump) is 3-5x more energy efficient in winter for heating than any other heating method. They’d rather destroy the environment than have people comfortable in summer.

@haydenbeamish @eeaaw If albo just moved half the taxes to the employer’s account by your methodology Australia would suddenly be an ultra low tax jurisdiction, it’s completely flawed logic

[Mark @mark_brc1]

@haydenbeamish @eeaaw Whether taxes are paid directly by the employer vs employee is arbitrary. To exclude the huge employer side taxes in Europe is flawed. Better to show total tax burden up front then show the split between employee paid and employer paid. Europeans definitely do consider the total

@JohannesSh4278 @lugaricano Most are from latam so are eligible for citizenship after 2 years via the express citizenship pathway

@MichaelAArouet Yep. Everyone focuses on the TFR but the age structure is the real killer for Europe now. Not enough people understand the difference and how bad it is

[Mark @mark_brc1]

@TimurNegru Switzerland is part of the EU health card system except only in theory not in practice. Works perfectly for Swiss people in the eu who get free/near free coverage but eu people visiting Switzerland have a hard time. About time they’re kicked off it imo.
