    Really appreciate The time you’ve put into this! I have no wealth or anything like that, so the road for me will definitely be to work like a dog for the next 10 years and hope som…

    I did the opposite and found the us much better. Pay and opportunities are infinitely better, people are friendlier, having a car is much easier and more convenient.

    I moved from Europe to the US, and so have a lot of other people who aim to become rich. In europe most rich people inherit everything, mobility to upper class is basically non exi…

    You are much luckier and more of a “survivor” than any of them I feel. I also work at Faang, but only graduated college last year and only make 200k a year, barely. I will never re…

    I moved from europe to the us because I could never become financially independent with the low compensation and high taxes in EU. I would never wish for us to ever be as unambitio…

    Happy birthday! Man am I jealous, I think I’ll have to grind away all my best years at faang or worse. I also love Russian lit, so so checkout Oblomov and Tolstoy shorter novels li…

    Thiel is my hero. I really can’t wait to get my green card so I can start a company, write a libertarian book and try to move the needle in the right direction.

    I miss Mcafee, funny how most libertarian activists seem to drop dead while the people looting stores and setting cities on fire during protests, or stealing “under 900$” roam the …

    No worries! I was feeling a bit stick yesterday so apologize if the original doesn’t make much sense. Above is right, I was wondering how I could do something similar but legitimat…

    Interesting, I’m from Eastern Europe so never heard about this system. Sounds like a good alternative to public schools or boarding schools for sure.

    Jail is 100% like high school, from the experiences of the people I know who spent time in the can at least.
