    Trump and Musk’s DOGE purge sees 6,700 IRS staff fired

    Are you sure China is so strong? Their apparent strength coincided with basically every 3rd tiktok video being some "influencer" talking up how good the place is, and an influx of travel bloggers visiting their. Big red flag.

    V*let.com dac8?

    My ID expired and never uploaded a new one to comply with KYC, so basically unused. I think I get some inactivity fee for the almost zero balance.

    Curious if people would keep 500K USD in the bank or as USDC/USDT?

    Wait until pDAI pegs to a dollar, the first decentralised stable coin. MakerDAO changed to Sky with USDS. SOY USD with a blacklist function. I'd split it across a few places not just one.

    Mister Tango and Bitstamp, how did it work back in 2020 anyone knows?

    I think Mickey Tango went the way of most EMI's in Lithuania - starts fairly lax, gets fined, and then becomes far more stringent in terms of KYC / AML / Account management fees to the point it becomes almost unusable. I remember using their debit card all the time in Europe and moving funds...

    47% tax rate on €68K income in Germany – Has it gone too far?

    What are the true average salaries in the big cities? Not the ones you normally hear quoted officially. It's 10 years since I was in Amsterdam, can't say it blew me away and I assume it's only got worse. Yeah I imagine care is ok standard if you break a leg or whatever, it's just people parrot...

    47% tax rate on €68K income in Germany – Has it gone too far?

    If you earn €100,000 in the Netherlands, you tax bill would be about €40k, crazy really. It's strange how so many people accept it, people say stuff like "it's great everything like healthcare is taken care of" etc, just pure state propaganda.
