Yup. I think you’re right.

I was very confused at the responses I was getting here at first, but after reading them and thinking about things a bit more it does basically come down to taxes even if it isn’t explicitly taxes I was trying to avoid.

TIL

I don’t know if you’ve been following the news but I’d say that’s wishful thinking at this point.

Thank you 🙏

This is a very helpful jumping off point for further research

The US taxes it. There is a foreign earned income exclusion for the first $x though.

Finally - someone who gets me 😊

How so? You think reporting accounts to the IRS keeps the US from seizing/ freezing accounts?

Not following your train of thought

Seizing/freezing.

Yeah - I’ve claimed it before. This isn’t really a tax avoidance question though.

I’m personally familiar with the reporting and taxation of foreign banks and even foreign earned income.

Dunno why it didn’t occur to me that it would apply to investment/brokerage account's as well 🤦‍♂️

Can a US citizen set up a brokerage outside the U.S.? If so, where?

I’m not talking about investing in foreign companies; I’m talking about where I can keep my money (other than “under the mattress”) that the federal government can’t seize/freeze.

Oh, noooow you’re concerned about intellectual property theft…

🤨

…I will be sure to change all of my weak and/or reused passwords.

Thanks for the tip…

Question: How much did Taiwan donate for the “inauguration”?

These are basically the same reasons I haven't turned it over to my password manager.

My email is one of the few passwords I still know without my password manager.

It probably is time for me to rethink that 🤔

Tim Apple; that’s your cue to send the next million for “inauguration”…

Sounds like a perfect personality. Presidential material, even.

People love to hate Teams but I also think it’s more maligned than it deserves.

It’s mostly fine for me most of the time. It could be that I just haven’t had the pleasure of using better options so I don’t know what I’m missing? ¯(ツ)_/¯

I do have to say it’s infinitely better in my experience than Zoom. Whenever I have a Zoom meeting the experience for me is so bad I am essentially unable to participate in the meeting.

Idk how much it is, but I buy 10 at a time

That seems like a lot of hydrogen peroxide. What should I be using it for that I’m missing out on?

I think I’ve had the same bottle for 10+ years and 2+ moves
