I imagine you Venmo or equivalent like you do in America.

That’s anti-fraud to stop someone from stealing your card and using it elsewhere. You can usually pre-empt that by informing the bank of travel.

Well, they’re making a product choice to bias to aiming at one direction. That’s just a product choice that’s a useful differentiator when the most recent successful dating apps have been hookup apps.

All you have to do is live unemployed and take money from the government, thus draining it of killing money.

Both you and Google are helping with the killing because it helps you make money. That’s okay. We all do terrible things for money.

You can withhold taxes by dropping your income below the minimum threshold.

Interesting scheme. You corner a scarce resource and then sell it. I wonder what new permit schemes we’re going to see and how we can capitalize on this.

And yet you fund the killing with your taxes. You know they kill, you know they need money to build the killing machines, you give them money.

Those are government agencies you voted for. American citizens want leaders who bomb countries. Go vote a non-interventionist or isolationist if you want someone else.

Face the truth. If you want no killing, Your enemy isn’t Google, it’s your neighbour.

Eh? This comment makes no sense. Wesley Chan is American, dude. He’s amazed at what people are doing in China. If anything he’s bringing the cultural habits of a 9-5 job from the US to China and being surprised by it, hence ‘we’ and not ‘they are lazy in the US’.

Well, it most certainly is, isn’t it? You get an additional double digit percentage. That’s going to help your margins.

They aren’t scammers, though, because most people want this. Of course it is unfair to you, but most countries have their laws originate in their dominant religious culture and consequently favour that culture.

For instance, the San Francisco MTA legalized parking along the median on the street for church services. It’s just the way that people want it to be, and in democracies, they will inevitably get their way so it’s best to take advantage of the laws they make. Being upset is less profitable than playing the game.

Is it really a scam if it’s what taxpayers want?

I don’t think this is interesting because any conservative trend. It’s a cool business hack that allows you to make money without taxes.

The skill barrier is low. It’s all turnkey now with cloud platforms. Literally just a web tutorial away. The hard part is the audience and the fact that video hosting is expensive for individuals.

It’s a pretty clever business niche and a way to run tax-free. The end result is a cultural machine that may well have changed the nature of Christian worship. Interesting, no?
