Finally. Fuck you, Spain, and fuck its stupid government. I won't be there when they end up ruining it all 😁.

Agora eu sou orgulhoso cidadão portugués.

Suck it, perro sanxe.

context?

Asked some months ago if there was anyone from Portugal here. No one replied, or made snideful remarks.

I now live in Portugal, paying 3 times less taxes than I did in Spain.

So long, and not gonna say thanks for the non-existent fish.

I'll be glad to watch my country burn from the sidelines.

I don't know what's going on but please calm down.

@include0000 do you know what makes people not want to calm down?

Being told to calm down

@fruitfcker

Not really much, no, just having what they call a high value activity (which our job qualifies).

Unfortunately, by January first they are changing the conditions for new requests so not really sure how it's gonna be from then on.

The special regime I'm signing up for is called non habitual resident or RNH.

Of all the foreign countries I'm mostly fascinated by the idea of living either in CA or ES: ca for the nature and the stereotype of kind people and es for the language [I just love how it sounds, not that I understand anything besides latin basics 😁], siestas and the seashores [oh, and oranges just growing everywhere 😁]. I've never actually dug into what's it really like to live in one or the other.

Soo.. I gather from your rant es is not a friendly place for its citizens?

@aviophille

I pay my fucking taxes, thank you very much. I just choose where I want to pay them.

@netikras

It's absolutely not a bad country in itself, but the shit politicians we have are turning it into shit. It gets particularly worse if you are self-employed, as they will simply milk you non stop.

@aviophille

That they are completely happy that I pay my taxes there because in any case, I bring more money in, even at reduced tax, than an average local.

And what outprices the locals isn't special tax regimes, it's touristic lodgings becoming the end all, be all, which shortens offer and therefore skyrocket prices, both for locals and for people like me.

@aviophille

Oh whatever, keep butting in with your profound knowledge.

I rather trust what my actual neighbours tell me, who, you know, happen to be portuguese...

TIL CoreFusionX is Spanish

@fullstackcircus

Oh well, not really like I was hiding it, I've said it a few times before in other rants xd.

@CoreFusionX mi corazon esta in Barcelona

...vamos ir a moog?
