There’s probably a viable business model now in helping US-based startups set up offices in Canada.

If anyone here thinks the damage Trump is doing will only last while he’s in office, remember that we will feel the effects of so many of his policies long after he’s gone. But it isn’t just Trump. It’s this particular band of crooks that are in Congress that all know that they have limited time to shove all their pet projects through before they get kicked out, and are enriching themselves while they can. Never a better lesson that voting matters. Even being an adult and voting for the lesser of two evils.

Sorry for sarcasm, and sorry for sounding provocative to part of this site's audience, but this really needs to be said. Is there still a reason to come to US to setup a shop? I was always finding it bizarre how countless Asian entrepreneurs were and are thinking of opening a business in US as some king of proof of their entrepreneurial proves, while in many cases doing so was a great net loss to them. USA market as I see it: ultra-competitive (you fight with dozens of copycats like you are for every insignificant scrap market niche,) fragmented (every state have more consumer protection laws that all China combined,) high corporate tax rate, impossibly complex laws covering corporate finances/accountancy/reporting/partial ownership, if you dare to do a stock market listing - god have mercy on you, unpredictable like weather consumer markets, impossible to score access to the consumer without dishing tons of money to ad agencies, bizarre consumer protection rules, having to deal with MBA school bred Dilberts at any "business services" company you have to deal with, and like this for one more page.

  I'd like someone knowledgeable to describe market conditions in EU and China. Neither seem rosy, too, as far as I can tell.

  So instead of dozens of copycats, you'll fight hundreds or thousands of them in China, with zero legal discourse.

Protectionism? Hard to see upsides unless somebody can show me this was being rorted (I believe previous "I have a lot of capital" immigration programs worldwide have had tendencies to be the same money going round in friendship-circles)
