   So which company benefits the most here? From a cursory googling the following seem decent: - The Whirlpool Corporation - Electrolux AB - LG Electronics Inc. problem is these companies have a lot of exposure to other sectors as well of cour

   I know a friend of one of those 4 mentioned and he is doing absolutely fine (money-wise at least)

   Housing in Switzerland is more expensive than the US if you exclude LA, SF and NY.

   No, those cables are not durable at all. Cheap or expensive, they don't last more than a few months with heavy use.

   I recently read that the number is €2.6 million euro for the Netherlands.

   When I don't plan to do more than 50 miles of driving on one side, I would definitely not bring them if there wasn't a legal requirement.

   I agree it's hardly a yearly event, but this is definitely the even he is referring to. Theoretically yearly would be a better term.

    You are right of course, but since we are talking in the context of successful founders, I figured the relatively small exemption wasn't that important.

    The Netherlands maybe? Our "BOX 3" is effectively a 1.2% wealth tax (30% tax on a 4% assumed return). The startup ecosystem is pretty good I'd say.

    Aha, now I know what the Neuralink will be used for.

    You can do something similar in the Netherlands, but it results in a very sour relationship with your landlord. They probably won't ever fix anything and it has led to intimidation and worse occassionally.

    I should have made it more clear I indeed mean the association with the violent crime. the sentiment I've heard a lot is people see the drugs as a business and the violent, ruthless sides of it are something that mostly happens in Lati

    Interesting that so many fellow Dutch people being surprised "that kind of stuff can happen over here". They seem to forget we're the main worldwide exporter of XTC and a huge distributor for other drugs.

    That's definitely also my impression. The only point against that theory is the moderation. I don't think someone who started that as a joke would let it become what it was at the end. unless maybe someone related to the Trump cam

    I agree on that, but I think this case was a bit different. A lot of the early posts were making fun of Trump pretty thinly veiled.

    Way back when r/the_donald just started when his campaign began, many people including me thought it was an ironic subreddit and treated it as such. Then suddenly Trump gained momentum and the subreddit turned out to be for real.

    That's funny that he can casually do that against a grandmaster. Still far ahead of the field.

    it's a funny meme, but it was never called that. See from wikipedia: >Omdat Katholieke Universiteit Tilburg tot een ongewenste afkorting zou leiden, werd het Katholieke Universiteit Brabant (KUB).
