What do you expect, give everyone connecting _root_ permissions to your whole powertrain? It has to be protected somehow.

I mean after the initial entry when they stamp the immigrant visa and send you a green card. Is it alright to take 6 to 9 months to getting everything in order in your origin country and getting settled in the US? At some point they will probably start asking questions about why the long absence or are you actually living here etc. Any guidance on how long this actually is or how to mitigate these risks would be helpful.

Is there a guideline how much time can one take for moving after getting a green card? Should one count days during the first year to not run into problems or is this more second year and onwards?

There does not seem to be much information about this besides very vague statements.

Studies seem to disagree.

Also the OP suggested that Hawaiian production is on decline so shipping from Hawaii to mainland is the issue.

Also Jones Act: ships from Asia can't pick up cargo from Hawaii on the way and drop it in mainland US. This means that shipping between Hawaii and mainland is much more expensive then it needs to be.

Nowadays when you visit someones profile you show up on their suggested friend list. Creepy or cute, a deliberate information leak.

The important nuance: you need to start going home at the correct time on day one. You can't start doing that when you feel overwhelmed already as the expectations have been solidified already.

The corollary is that you also need to show up on time and put in honest effort during.

The 0% tax on retained profits is nice as long as your own residency country does not try to tax it. Some countries like the US don't consider this as a shelter and if you are the beneficial owner then still want to tax your company profits there.

Also the 0% retained profits system will come to an end in the next few years due to a worldwide push to have minimum corporate income tax.

The "e" in eResidency does a lot of work. The scheme will not give you any residency rights or obligations in the physical sense. Just forming and running a company in the EU, including tax and banking systems that are aware of your non-resident status and making running a company easier.

As others have said, it mostly makes sense for people outside of the EU. If you have personal residency in Spain then it is questionable whether the easier paperwork in Estonia will offset the need to do some paperwork in Spain as well.

This is true. A nuance often missed. Different rock (that is considerably worse in several ways, needs heavy fuel oil to be added to actually burn and has I think even higher co2 output per unit of energy) but kinda the same.

Here’s me getting excited that a new file system is being developed but alas, just talk about text files.
