    This was my point all along. You might be able to start a company in Sweden, but you won't be able to grow it there because of taxes and regulations. It's funny how it took so long…

    King.com is incorporated in Malta. Presumably to get around taxes in Sweden and Spotify is incorporated in Luxomburg. Stop changing the topic. My point is that you can't grow a com…

    Incorporated outside of Sweden is the key here. It seems people are downvoting me because they dont want to hear the truth...but other commenters keep making my point quite nicely.…

    You made my point again. If you look at the wikipedia page, it's not incorporated in Sweden. It's a multinational corporation with an office in Sweden.

    There will be no sustainable business. Regulations and taxes strangle your business before it gets to that point. If you look at the business landscape of Sweden, it mostly consist…

    It's very difficult to actually grow a company in a country like Sweden because of the regulations and taxes you are required to pay after a certain amount of employees.

    This doesn't actually help you, it will only ruin your chance for negotiation and you will end up getting the lowest possible salary. Open salary will only help pay inequality beca…

    Yes. Healthcare doesn't need another middleman Jacking up the prices. The extreme wealth tax, will only push extremely wealthy people out of the US and the middle class will suffer…

    I'm not 'afraid' of anything. Bernie couldn't even admit how much is programs cost (or didn't know). I would gladly vote for a more moderate Democrat.

    Bernie Sanders has advocated for close to 100% taxes for top brackets in the past. None of the Bernie Bros on this site either want to believe it or to admit it. The shitty behavio…

    If you have a job that pays well, think again. If the Democrats win, you will be giving most of your earnings to the government. Bernie Sanders has already said he believes there s…

    You form an LLC or you will most likely lose the client. No ridiculous law and force a client to keep you.

    On the contrary, the Chinese government has removed many of the tariffs because their economy is tanking as a result of the recent travel restrictions.

    The Russians again? The American public isn't that stupid. When Obama was running, there were bots running rampant on many sites like Reddit. Were they Russian too?

    That would be fine. If the cost of living matched these lower salaries.

    Toronto salaries are less than half than in the US for software developer roles. With the high cost of living, I dont know how anyone can live there.

    I've heard this argument again and again from Chinese government sympathizers...and it's just not true. The vast majority of people aren't brutalized and shot by the police. If it …
