I considered coming to Mr. Pedro Sanchez' country to do business there. I would even come to one of the poorest regions not to contribute to the housing crisis as I like the weather, fresh food and emptiness of it.

>>3% tax on my global wealth every year (in effect it's more like 4.5% because there is also significant capital gain tax)

>>60% tax on a semi-decent tech salary

>>25%+ capital gain tax for my investors (if I find any)

>>people don't speak English, many of them are proud of it

>>scheduling anything with anybody is impossible, the concept of being on time doesn't exist

>>Bureaucracy is slow, full of paperwork, can't be done online, can't be done in English, the result depends on clerk's mood on a given day

>>if someone comes to my house when I am away I can't kick them out, need to find another house and keep paying bills for the new occupa(s)nts

I am sure that once they kick Google out they will make some innovation fund where many government officials find work. Then the money is going to be transferred to the newly sprung industry of innovation grant appliers. It will be a lot of money for a lot of people. In the middle of it a new search engine arises - made by a disgruntled European in Singapore.
