Wasn't that exactly the plan publicized by Musk?

Very good point that I didn't think of, thanks.

This is not about russophobia, I have plenty of Russian friends and have respect for the culture - though I think that every intelligent Russian left years ago, or at least between March and now.

This is about avoiding having the kind of people who will scream "THIS WILL BE RUSSIA ONE DAY TOO" into your face at your hometown (not an unusual thing before the war). People are being turned back to Russia now because they don't even peel off the Z signs from their cars...

There's too many of them now to sort properly - so sorry, but we can't take them. We offered humanitarian visas to anybody before now, they should've thought about where this is going.

Why are LASERs and railguns better than biological weapons? At least the more efficient a biological weapon is the less it hurts. Not an option while literally burning someone with a LASER or pushing a piece of metal through their body.

(Of course biological weapons are bad, but I don't get this preference of yours)

Not true at all! My (EU) tax form has a special field just for this case - income from out-of-EU employment... (and because of tax residency rules that applies only if I live there)

And there definitely is a legal framework - this has very exact rules specified by the bilateral tax/trade agreements, every combination of western countries has them, and many non-western countries too.

Then come to Czechia and your problems are solved. There the test is simple - are you using your own equipment or do you have multiple clients or are you your own boss in terms of working hours and arrangements or could your contract end at any time or are you an exporter? Then you're clearly a contractor. Only one of these rules needs to apply.

Indeed - and yet I'd think it's not close at all. I bet there is going to be the same level of variation as compared to relative differences between unrelated humans.

Intra-company transfer, but it's more restricted than H1B - the hassle falls on your employer though.

So I tried to Google myself - I had some problems with my debts in the past - and found nothing... And it's not like I'd just let it be if I found anything, I'd go for the GDPR takedown immediately.

Still - do twins have the same/similar brain structure?
