Yep, just search for country + banks for expats. Typically a lot of the countries well known for financial services have banks which make it very easy to open a bank account online. They will require you to upload some ID for verification, and provide tax details. Expats (rich white immigrants) do this all the time.

You are not limited to just Canada / Europe either. E.g. Australia: Macquarie Bank Singapore: OCBC Hong Kong: HSBC

No, consumption taxes (such as VAT) are generally considered to be regressive, because the rich spend less on consumption relative to their income.

In almost all countries, the top income decile was estimated to have paid a share of their income that is only 60% of what the bottom half pays in consumption taxes.

It's innovative because it applies evolutionary pressure by making sure that dumb people falling for such simple scams will be too poor to survive and reproduce /s

Yes. Also a US gallon is 3.79 litres but a UK gallon is 4.55 litres, so one US mpg is 1.201 UK mpg

On the Creation of N*ggers

When, long ago, the Gods created Earth, In Jove's fair image Man was shap'd at birth. The beasts for lesser parts were next design'd; Yet were they too remote from humankind. To fill this gap, and join the rest to man, Th'Olympian host conceiv'd a clever plan. A beast they wrought, in semi-human figure, Fill'd it with vice, and call'd the thing a N*GGER.

H.P.LOVECRAFT.

This is eerily similar to the disinformation campaigns that ran during Australia's bushfires. So many people were parroting the lie that somehow the Greens with no majority in government sneakily introduced "green tape" that prevented the firefighters from their usual hazard reduction burns. In reality, firefighters were prevented from doing hazard reduction burns due to the increasingly small window to safely do so due to climate change. The situation was so frustrating that the Rural Fire Service had to specifically address all the "bUt whAt aBouT HaZarD REduCtiOn bUrNs" during a press conference
