Yep, using a middleman is the easiest way to go. No need to incorporate in the country, understand local taxes and labor laws and you just get a check. They usually even handle invoicing and collection, if you're a contractor. Fees ten

No, its specific visa category that a few EU countries have now, the most popular being Portugal's. You pay plenty of taxes to the host economy and are usually excluded from social welfare and healthcare.

Depends on the laws and how you are being paid. If the local country thinks you're an employee (earning wages) then it would probably have to be a local company. If you're just being paid dividends from your US, then it could rema

Yes, this is the only way to do it but the tax situation is complex. Most (all?) EU countries have tax treaties with the US to avoid double taxation but you will be a tax resident in that EU country and they will want their due. You will al

I have almost exactly the same setup, except using the intel gpu for accelerated inference with an OpenVINO Yolo model and HA for notifications. Super reliable.

Which transfers aren't important though? I don't imagine anyone expects less than 100% performance when it comes to sending their own money. I was shocked at how they handled my case, but have seen many more horror stories since.

Got burned by Wise doing an international transfer a few years back. Money was withdrawn but never reached the receiving bank. Wise wouldn't help at all, even after getting a statement from my sending bank that Wise had my money. Never

Sweden has long since maxed out on its hydro capacity and hydro is at times the largest portion of domestic energy production. Generation capacity to match domestic base load is not a problem in Sweden. As mentioned elsewhere in the comment

100% agree, and other EU nations have done exactly this. Unfortunately that (a new windfall tax) will never happen with the current government and political interests in Sweden.

China has been hit with anti-dumping penalties in the US at least once due to solar panel subsides. I believe last year the EU agreed on a huge fund to improve advanced semiconductor manufacturing capacity within the bloc, but not sure if t

This is not quite correct, the elstöd came from a "bottleneck fee" which was earmarked for infrastructure improvements. It is not a long term solution to high regional energy prices (the fees were accrued over multiple years), and

It's all fantasy anyhow. The startup times for new mines, new enrichment/processesing facilities and the new reactors to burn the fuel are measured in decades. This is all populist reactionary messaging by the current government,

Which unfortunately they can't due to EU agreements. They could, however, tax/nationalize private producers and return windfall profits to swedish ratepayers.

Screwing them over how, exactly? As far as I can tell most of the shareholders got cashed out at a valuation way above market. I'd love to be similarly "screwed over" given the opportunity.

Unsurprisingly the sociological origins for long covid are being pushed very hard in Sweden. Due to the nature of public health care and very narrow opinion corridor, this also means no care at all for LC for those affected.
