This has nothing to do with libertarianism nor serves as a coherent critique of it. In fact, some of your points are things that we see readily in governments today. As an example, many corrupt police officers exist in many government syste

All of that is a result of government action and the government hiring private corporations, not private corporations acting on their own.

The difference is very very simple: the government has the legitimized use of force. Private corporations don't. A private corporation can't force me to do anything. Only the government can. If a private corporation came to try ar

Could you explain the VAT tax deduction? When I was in Europe I purchased one expensive thing, and I got a refund for VAT at the airport. This was nice and made sense. But otherwise I don't understand it.

The reason is that our governments are giant, corrupt pieces of shit and people in power will not let people live a good life without 'contributing'. When a robot takes my job, I just don't have a job and then fuck me. That&#

Sure. And like 50 years ago Mao wrecked the entire country.

Holy shit. Why?? Is it around the same cost in Euros? I don't understand this. I literally paid half of that for mine.

Oops sorry. I misread.

Which is ok with me. But if they don't offer that then it makes sense to purchase with card.

Hmm. So I don't disagree with your premise but details like "America's super cards are not issued by their banks" is incorrect. Cards like the Chase Sapphire Reserve exist

Sounds good to me. If somebody scams me it's not my problem.

I'm sorry but tacky and dirty? In what way is cash back questionable? Lol. And for your second point, banks also are a large portion of those issuing credit cards. While banks do offer some form of fraud protection, it takes time, you

I wouldn't be surprised to see that it increases overall spending. For me it's like second nature. I don't even think about the cash back. It's more like, oh I'm eating out, need to use the 3% cash back for dining c

Please read my post above my response as I mentioned these things in more general terms. :) I just meant that the actual card itself worked the same, mostly. You put numbers in an online form, swipe/insert chip, etc.

In the US a debit card is free and standard for any checking or savings account. It's functionally the same, yes, in the sense they are just plastic cards that perform transactions, but as I mentioned in my post there's a big diff

Pretty sure that Visa et all. charges a fee regardless of debit/credit cards. There is a difference in the amount charged, perhaps. If a business wants to give me a discount for using cash that might make me consider doing so. Supporti

I've see a lot of comments about credit cards and people mentioning stuff like it's better to use a debit card and to "pay the balance off in full each month", but you are absolutely incorrect. Now it is true, obviously,

Yeah I'd like to know too. If they're deporting them, then why aren't people upset if/when the US does this as well? If not, can I just walk across the border, hang out in jail, then become a Canadian?

What's important to note here is that in each case there was a large influx of people from a different culture who congregated in areas (think Chinatown) and took time to fully integrate into the current society. It is NORMAL for peopl

no I did not. The headline isn't misleading, the content of the article is extremely poor.

I'm sorry, but none of your suggestions here are good solutions to this article problem. Speaking up and calling the article out, which is what I'm doing, is preferable. ""Please don't submit comments complaining th

Sure, so how about a good article about it instead of this QZ garbage? Did you even read the article? Chinese student is used to always having one answer but in America there are ambiguous answers. Saudi student has to be around women and w

Ok sure. But instead of that experience we just have a very generalized article with some wild statistic. 40% of foreign students have no close friends? Really? It's a garbage article that somebody is posting for up votes.

Why would good hackers find this article interesting? What do you find intellectually curious about it?

Right so it's a non-American company, so hire somebody in the Us for that branch.
