Finally, the sellers of all these "paradises" with dengue fever, poisonous tap water and "local and warm culture" have started telling the truth.
Everyone still thinks Latin America is "the cheap option"
I just checked Airbnb for a 1-bedroom, one month, in decent neighborhoods in different cities...
And it is what I suspected:
- 🇧🇬 Varna: €1100
- 🇪🇸 Valencia: €2,200
- 🇬🇷 Athens: €2,000
- 🇨🇴 Medellín: $800
- 🇦🇷 Buenos Aires: $1,300
- 🇵🇾 Asunción: $1,000
Not that different anymore
Rent converged. Food converged. Gyms cost the same in Málaga and Medellín
So where's the actual difference?
Taxes. Taxes make all the difference
- Spain: 45%+ tax, plus €294/month just to work for yourself
- Portugal: NHR is dead
- Italy: don't even ask
- Paraguay: 0% on foreign income
- Panama: territorial
- Uruguay: 11-year tax holiday
Same rent and same coffee prices... But in one area you keep 100% of what you earn, and in the other you keep half
If you make significant money...
The difference is huge

🦜 UPDATE:
Its been six months since he was raided and arrested. For nothing. Meritless case. No crimes committed. Still held indefinitely in preventative detention. Process is punishment.
Parrot and his family really need your support! If you value the contributions he has made to human rights technology then it's important now, more than ever, to support him in his greatest time of need! 🙏
We've raised ~$6.6k across all platforms. Only $43k to go. Every contribution, no matter how large or small goes a very long way in Brazil.
We've got a couple exciting merch fundraisers cooking that will be live shortly. If you are able to collab on a fundraiser please reach out.
If you wish to reach out to his family directly you can message his brother @flanetokaio
Stay up to date with his case at:
🦜 Zecarioca.cgic.ai 🍑
Everything helps. Not just financially. It's a profound source of strength to see people all over the world rallying around him.
I know money is tight all over these days, but if you can spare anything, literally anything, please donate to his family via any of the methods below. 👇

Zano will rollback an estimated 100,000 transactions that occurred during the past month.
Its ok tho. At least it wasn't a 40-minute network disruption with no money lost.

I also like the Monero community because its members have a very, very good memory, which often helps point out hypocrisy to hypocrites, even though hypocrites will not cease to be hypocrites.
But it's fun.
40 minutes of activity disrupted: the company should go to zero immediately.
1 month of transactions rolled back and fully invalidated: I believe they can make it back.
Now next time you claim to be unbiased, I will kindly refer everyone to this tweet.

Soon, Ursula will show you what direct democracy is. 😌
Neutralität tot. Bankgeheimnis tot. Grenzen offen. UBS ins Ausland. Schweizerdeutsch und Schweizer Kultur verschwinden.
Bilaterale III vor der Tür. Immer mehr EU, immer weniger Schweiz.
Die direkte Demokratie wird beerdigt – die Eigenständigkeit aufgegeben.
🇨🇭 Die Schweiz wird zum europäischen EU Einheitsstaat – und verliert ihre Seele.

Personally, I haven't seen it, but if you see anyone "raising money for GrapheneOS" - consider it a scam.
Donation page: grapheneos.org/donate
Why can't people simply send money to our XMR, BTC or ETH addresses? It isn't a donation if we're expected to do something in return for it. We didn't want people to create tokens in our name and aren't going to endorse them. We don't want a token but if we did then we'd make it.

People fail to understand one thing: the best "vote" in the world is voting with your actions, and especially with your wallet.
Large corporations see that suckers will buy any product, so why not rob them even more? After all, the politicians (who are part of those very same corporations) will always cover for them.
Of course, I feel bad for ordinary people, but the mere fact that I pity them will not change their situation. And when someone says, "I feel bad for my country," it makes me sick.
You don't have "your country"; what you have is a few bits of firmware installed in you called "patriotism."

Hello @Moto,
Please consider a "Signature 27" option for denimheads so that it's possible to buy a version with Japanese selvedge denim.
Oh boy, oh boy!
I thought the release was going to be in 2027, but it turns out that if everything goes well, I'll be saying goodbye to my shitty Pixel in November!

That's why @GrapheneOS matters, and why I personally need more and more OEMs that support it.

In the video, a group of Ukrainians is escaping across the mountains to Romania to flee the dictatorial regime of the drug addict Zelenskyy.
I am happy for them. 💪🏻

Brazil will require self-custody wallet transfers of over $10,000 to be reported, as of October 1.

And yet there will still be some mentally challenged people who will do it...
