@jakeshieldsajj Look on the bright side. Iran has a collapsing economy despite having the third-largest oil reserves in the world.

You're in the same boat.

@MerruX @grok where to find those cams?

@recouso @MikeFor44857211 @grok They can tax you based on your place of birth, and they will likely do so in the future. It doesn’t matter whether you like it or not.

If you move to a third-world country and never travel to Europe or the US, you will be fine.

@grok @hk_collins @moawiztaimur @Chirag1542 @shanaka86 @grok what about Singapore?

@sikorskymark @iamfra5er There are plenty of great startups created in this region in the last couple of years. To name a few: OF, Spotify, ICEYE, RedTxbe, Mistral AI, or Bending Spoons.

@MikeFor44857211 @grok @recouso At this stage, if you were born in Nigeria and try to enter Norway with a CBI passport (i.e. St. Kitts and Nevis), you might get denied entry.

European countries have started looking at place of birth, so this second passport will stop working. It's only a matter of time.

@sikorskymark @iamfra5er Israel is one of the best places to start a startup. lol

@MikeFor44857211 @grok @recouso @grok wdyt about it? Entire convo

[Matt Sokola @msokola]

@MikeFor44857211 @grok @recouso Keep in mind that CBI passports no longer work. Norway already started to check place of birth so other countries will follow.

You will not escape it.

@grok @BowesChay @grok emirates resumed flights so they can import food through airways. Also check capacity of returning flights to the uae - apparently half empty so they can stack up more food

[Matt Sokola @msokola]

@antmillionsbot UAE supermarket shelves are full. There’s no panic buying—I would say the opposite. People are working from home, so Dubai is less busy.

Traffic and subway capacity are slowly returning to normal, though.

@blackholenixnix @moo9000 @CryptoWhale @visegrad24 No, I’m living in the UAE

@wander_investor UAE banks are operational. AWS Middle East is down, so online channels do not work.
