GM Nostr 🌳🌧️🌳

I'm sitting here listening to the rain and the forest, drinking a cup coffee, and thinking about Europe and the direction it's headed.

On one hand. I LOVE where I live. The quality of life is off the charts; I've got great friends, good food, and insanely good access to all the outdoor activities that makes me happy.

On the other hand. It's becoming more dystopian every month with the continuous stream of AML/KYC/Taxation/Prohibition laws being proposed and/or coming into force.

The continual gaslighting and incompetence that goes on at every level of government about the causes for rising cost of living and deteriorating economic conditions is also beyond absurd.

It's not the continent for running a business. It's not the continent for building wealth. It's not the continent for being free and having agency over your life and your finances.

I don't want to leave my valley. But I don't want to be subject to the EU bullshit either.

I know I'm mostly complaining here, and I'm certainly not expecting anyone to have any answers for me, but it's something I think about often and I wonder how many others are in similar situations.

I'd love to hear from folks that have left Europe (or other crumbling empire states) about their experiences.

Also – where have you all found to be the most free & open jurisdictions in the world?
